This seems like an annual event now, doesn't it?
Yes, there is yet again another slight change in format for HEROES. The biggest part of it is that instead of being a seperate page, News and Rumors/Updates are now part of the index page of HEROES. Yes, that's right, as soon as someone visits the site they're hit with the newest content from fanfiction groups as well as any "official" updates of articles, interviews or good comic related articles found on the web that might be important to the fanficcer.
But, for this part to work, I need folks representing the groups to join this here blog through Blogger and post their updates. Just contact us with your name, e-mail address and what group you edit. I will send you the guidelines and sign you up and you can then let the world know when your site has new stuff. Cool, ain't it?
HEROES will also continue to post original articles and interviews from the fanfic world as it gets them and we're always taking submissions. If you're interested in submitting an article or an interview to HEROES, please e-mail us with the gist of the article you have in mind (or the whole damn thing if it's already done). Not all submissions will be accepted. The kind of articles HEROES looks for these days are ones that are more content than hype. What is different about this group or this writer? Why should Joe Fanfic-Reader care? And, please, try to be impartial.
You may also notice that there isn't a seperate page for Groups like there was before. No, now it pops up in the side bar (if you're using IE5.x or better) or a new page entirely (if you're using something else). This makes for easy navigation. Also, look for more Resources in the very near future!
What's the point in all of this? Well, HEROES will become more self-sufficient, running because those that visit the site help it out instead of relying on one or two deadbeats to update the site whenever they feel like getting off their duffs and doing some work.
As always, if you have any questions or comments, feel free to write and enjoy the "new" HEROES.
