Image postings guarantee immediate readability. If you want a separate PDF download included for people who like to read it that way too, it wouldn't hurt, but this method gets the readership up a few notches for immediacy. Just make sure the JPG is on the higher quality scale, because the text can suffer.

Your writing's getting better. Nice work. IMO, make Mako's font a BIT larger, it gets lost in the image for clarity. If something gives me a migraine reading it, it's not worth reading.

In 1996, for the 30th anniversary, Ultraman franchise was revamped and they switched to a new universe (much like the many GUNDAM series) and created Ultraman Tiga. Then came Dyna, Gaia and many others with the majority in their own universe/timelines separate from the rest. Some may mention Nebula M78 where the original hails from or rehash classic monsters like Zetton or the Baltans but they are in their own universe.
In 2006 for the 40th anniversary, they return to the original universe where Ultraman, Ultraman Zoffy (the one that saved original after he was beaten), Ultraseven, Ultraman Jack/New Ultraman, Ultraman Ace, Ultraman Taro, Ultraman Leo, Ultraman 80 and Ultraman Father, Ultra Mother and Ultra King all hail from. The new Ultraman was named Mebius and was a rookie Ultraman with a lot of power that even he didn't know he had who was sent to Earth to defend it from evil. On earth it was peaceful since Ultraman 80 departed by aliens and monsters were returning. Many were rehashes of classics, even Zetton was used. Though sadly the Baltans were not . As the TV series progressed, in theatres came the Ultraman Mebius and Ultrabrothers movie which shows where Original, Seven, Jack and Ace have been and why. The actors that play their human forms all return (yes even Hayata) to counsel the new Ultra and give advice and yes, to transform and fight.
Later in the Mebius series, Taro appears a few times along with Zoffy and Ultra Father lends a hand in an episiode. After that, Ultraman Leo appears to give Mebius and the defense team a verbal and physical kick in their seats to make them realize how serious and important their mission is.
Ultraman 80 appears as they wrap a loose end from his series.
Ultraman Ace appears to aid Mebius against his old foe the Yapool (I'm not making that name up), and to wrap a loose end from his series as well.
Ultraman Jack and Ultraseven appear in episdoes to give advice and assistance.
Then came episode 47......and the one monster that got away from the original Ultraman has now entered the scene. Mephilias (named after Mephistophles) is playing his old mind tricks and Mebius and when they face off for the final fight (which Mebius WOULD have lost), we see Hayata observing the scene then transforming to lend a hand.
The final 3 eps were the three part finale against the ultimate darkness.
Then came the Super 8 Ultra Brothers, yet another alternate Earth that Mebius visits while pursuing a great evil. The main purpose of this movie was to unite for the first time Tiga, Dyna and Gaia with some of the classics, in this case, Original, Seven, Jack and Ace along with Mebius.
There is a another series currently in production, but its yet another alternative universe and another movie which I hear will have whatever current Ultra is around joining with original and Ultraseven. -

Why do I get the feeling that this is the type of contest where the eventual winner is already on the short-list somewhere?
I'm hoping they pick out a fresh face, but I'll be submitting my own arc, cuz Papa Turg loves swag. -

Why is Rhode Island excluded from this contest?
On the upside, Rhoders have suddenly developed a love for good Spanish rioja wine. Sangria exports from RI to the US have increased 400%. -

I'm somewhat miffed at this. 11 days notice? This directly benefits players who've been using Architect - hey, nice - but does nothing to encourage new Architects to try their hand at this. After the bad taste that AE farming left in people's mouths, you'd think they'd want to drum up more positive enthusiasm amongst the middling-interest players instead of the die-hard Architects. Give it to Nov 30th for submissions, geez.
I'll be submitting "Ghost 1" for consideration. I'll even submit the "cleaned up" version that I did for Issue 15, but have been waiting to have my arc unDC'd so I can republish. Maybe I'll put a note in there saying "you too can play this on Live, if only you unDC'd me long enough so I can submit the minor tweaks".

Quote:I should address this, as it's not mentioned in the Global Channel sticky: I'm not aware of any server-specific AT channels, although there are cross-server channels you can look at (if you have general AT questions, that serves you better anyway - wider audience).Originally Posted by Tw00sh
Are there server channels for AT or anything similiar?
I didn't see anything beyond what I posted when I dropped in the word "freedom", but if something's come up and it's legit (meaning it's got more than one frickin' member who's showboating - I'm lookin' at you, JFS), let me know and I'll add it. -
