Okay escapists, following the great success of one my first threads here, 'Name my fictional company', which is now part of my first original ebook, it's time for ...-FANFARE- name my HEROES!
So, it's a superhero story, and the premise is that there's a lot of the extraordinary folk running around. What I'm looking for is future background characters (otherwise the few main characters really don't give the impression of legions of them running around, ey?)
What I'm looking for is the way I actually wound up naming the first few... background characters in book two. In preparation for the third installment, I was hoping to build a backlog of potential powerhouses. I'd like you (yes, you there, handsome man and/or attractive woman behind the keyboard) to throw me a name. That's all. Throw me a superhero name, you don't even need to supply a power.
And if you're so inclined, you can be as outlandish as you like. Though I never ended up using the name itself, the name 'Princess Sparkles' has morphed into one of the scariest villains in my lineup.
Since I'm neither rich nor famous, I can't offer much more for this than my eternal gratitude and a namecheck when it goes live.
(and I'm hoping this won't count as advertising in any form: as i said, i made the first thread which was tolerated long before my first boo was actually a thing, and I'm not linking to it. Poke me if I'm breaking rules, moderators, as I've got a clean record and I'd like to keep it that way! *puppy eyes*)
And three....two...one, GO!
