Feedback post, 4colorheroines style:
As explained in the FAQ, the identities of the authors who wrote the stories will not be revealed until one week from today. However, many people want to give feedback to the authors (especially if they received a story), and of course the authors all want to hear whatever feedback others have to share about the stories they wrote, without having to wait a whole week.
In the comments section below, you'll find each story listed alphabetically. Reply to the comment which has the title of the story you wish to provide feedback for. Please do not click Post Comment rather than responding to the existing comment for the story.
Off-topic comments and misplaced comments on this post may be deleted, because it is as much a tool for authors to find their feedback as for readers to give it.

You may now post feedback!
Everyone's assignment should have been e-mailed out at this point! If you haven't gotten your assignment, please e-mail the mods at obscura@aliencorn.net.
Until the authors of the stories are eventually revealed, please keep your assignment secret - do not post in your LJ about what character you recieved, or are going to write. If you have a question for your recipient, e-mail the mods and we will pass the question on to your recipient. It's more fun this way.
Your assignment e-mail should include your recipient's web page and/or LJ. If you are having trouble coming up with a story idea, or are just curious, you may want to research their LJ in order to get a better idea of what kind of story they might like.
Since there's a lot of entrants in this challenge who might not know each other, it also might be fun to post an entry about yourself, explaining why you requested the characters that you did, and telling your writer what kind of fic you like. Of course, requests of this sort are *not* binding, but it might be nice for your writer to have something to work with.
Finally: if you have to drop out of this challenge due to a personal emergency, please tell us AS SOON AS POSSIBLE so that we can make sure everyone still gets a story. We are, of course, hoping that everyone will schedule enough time to be sure that they're going to finish their stories before the deadline, but we also know that emergencies happen. Please keep in mind that it is going to be *very* tricky for the mods to find pinch-hitters who can write obscure comics characters at short notice. So if something comes up to disrupt your schedule, we would *really* rather know about it sooner, as opposed to later.
That being said: I hope you're all as excited about your assignments as I am. Happy writing! Stories are due in one month, on March 23, 2005, and should be e-mailed to obscura@aliencorn.net when complete.
comica_obscura again, and I've posted a poll on my LJ in order to gauge the various levels of interest and to get some feedback on possible changes to the way the challenge is going to be run ths year.
