Submissions
All proposals for WildStorm should be submitted to both Curt Fernlund or Chris Munn, the Editors-In-Chief. We ask that you please follow these simple guidelines in structuring your proposal before sending it in for review as they will assist our comprehension of your proposal so we're better able to ask more educated questions about some of the ideas enclosed which will result in a more educated conclusion of the submitted proposal.

Proposal Guidelines
• Introduce yourself. Our community is rather large so it's not a given that we’re as familiar with your work as one might assume. If we are and haven't come to you first, then these guidelines are mostly a formality just so we can keep things straight in our own head.
• Present the project you're interested in and pitch your series. A short synopsis of the who, what, when and where's so we understand your desired series, the direction and your unique take on it and the characters. Also we'd like to know how many issues you're interested in writing. If it's an ongoing series a normal run is for 12 or more issues. Limited books can run from anywhere to 4 to 12 issues, but no longer.
• Breakdown the plot. This is where the details come out. If you're pitching for 12 issues you don't need to break down all 12 issues. Just the first six issues will suffice. I don't want you to show all of your cards and risk blowing any major revelations. Also, your ideas should be fluid so please don't feel obligated that you have to stick to your approved plans. If you have a better idea after you start the series you can always go to an editor and chat him up.
• List your dibs. What are the main characters essential to your book? What are the recurring characters? If you're proposing the series then chances are you've already researched the site to know whether or not your series will fit, but to avoid complications as the Editors may know more than what's on site we'd like to know who you wish to use. If there are potential conflicts we like to resolve them quick. If you plan on having dibbed characters as Guest Stars we'd like to know that also to help obtain approval from the dib holder.
• Attach a writing sample. If you're proposing to write for us chances are you've already written somewhere else. If you have an issue you're the most proud of attach to the proposal or include a link to the issue if it's posted to another fanfic site. No offense, but we do like to know what we're getting ourselves in to.

That's it. Those five things will help ensure your proposal gets the proper attention that it can. It's not to say that we’ll trash proposals that don't follow these guidelines, that'd just be a terrible thing to do, but we can't guarantee that the questions asked will be as straight to the point as we'd like or sound as educated as we'd like if you don’t follow the above guidelines. Like mentioned above, it's mostly to help us comprehend the proposal to the best of our ability.

Additional Information
Now, if you're proposing a solo series based on a character that's already dibbed to a team that is allowable. We only ask that you chat with the dib holder of that character and brief him on your plans to make sure that they gel with his, and vice versa. A dibs list is provided on the site and is updated often. You'll find the date of the latest revision at the very top of the list so you're aware of how recent it is to your proposal. If you're sharing a dib we also ask that the events this character is engaging in aren't ignored in either book. He is one character and leads one life, regardless of just how much busier it got.

If you're proposing a single issue, or two issue arc, for our Anthology title - World Storm - follow the same guidelines above. Naturally, it would be a much simpler proposal.

Continuity
WildStorm’s continuity cut-off is April 2004 directly before the COUP D'ETAT crossover.

Open Titles
These are mostly suggested books to give you a clear idea of the direction we'd like to see WildStorm take. You're 100% able and encouraged to submit a series that is not seen on this list.

And there we have it. We're at the end. I hope you'll find these guidelines reasonable. So, get off your keester and send me your proposal. NOW!!
