Hello and welcome to Wave 2 of DC Re-Created.
This is still the fan-fic group where you can re-create and innovate your favorite DC characters alongside in an ever growing universe.
But with the changes that we have came up with for Wave 2, it is now easier for both, readers and writers, new and old to step in.
Before you apply, please read the new rule set. Although to some it may seem tedious, It will allow us to create a coherent and organized universe, while hopefully reducing disputes. Everyone will be treated as though they’ve read the rules, so ignoring them is inexcusable.
1. Re-Creating Characters:
As a writer for DCRC, you can re-create characters, this is not the New 52, you can change the aspects of your character to whatever you want. Just make sure it’s within reason, as remember that writers after you will be using the same character and probably don’t want Batman to a be a ninja communist snowman. Also, make sure that your characters fit within the current continuity. (See Article 3 for major changes, such as deaths and passing on a legacy)
2. Character Permissions:
Characters can appear in any number of series, and even have multiple series based solely around one them. However, if you wish to use a character that is already in use, please ask the writer in charge beforehand in either a private PM or in the Writer’s PM. When using characters that appear in multiple titles, please make sure it makes sense within the continuity (Why is Superman flying around in the Justice League, if he’s in a coma in his solo series, for example). Any use of others’ characters without permission will be sanctioned.
3. Continuity Changes:
When writing new series, you must ask for permission from either @RulerOfThisUniverse or @MaccyD in a private PM. We will review your idea and decide whether it fits into the current DCRC continuity. The same applies for any major characters changes (such as death and passing on a legacy) and events.
Anyone who publishes anything without our consent will not have their story shown in the library and it will not be treated as part of DCRC.
This is to allow DCRC continuity to be easily monitored so it is both coherent and connected. Advice for both helping your series and changes both fit and affect continuity will be given so as to help make your stories coherent continuity-wise.
4. Titles per person:
DCRC writers are allowed to have as many titles as they want, as long as their titles are released on a semi-regular basis. We don't want months of waiting between issues because a writer has too many titles. For any titles that has been abandoned for 3 months or more, the writer will get a PM questioning whether they wish to continue the series. If no response is given within two weeks, the series will be declared open in the PM and potential writers may take over
5. Character Rights and Sign-up:
Only @RulerOfThisUniverse or @MaccyD are allowed to hand out unused characters or to allow new writers to sign up. Alert either of us, if you want to bring our attention to someone looking to use a free character or a new writer looking to join.
6. Original Characters:
Original characters are allowed, however, emphasis is placed on using DC characters and titles. The same rules that apply to normal characters apply to original characters.
If you are a New 52 reader than you may be familiar with this concept. All stories in the library will be separated by a genre. So we'll have The Dark, The Edge, Justice, Young Justice & The Beyond. I will give a list of examples below:
JUSTICE: This section will be for characters who are associated with the Justice League of America and the Justice Society of America (Examples: Superman, Wonder Woman, Mister Terrific, Power Girl Aquaman)
YOUNG JUSTICE: This section will include stories that feature teenage superheroes. (Examples: Static Shock, Teen Titans, Gen 13, Blue Beetle)
THE DARK: This section includes stories with supernatural, horror and fantasy themes. (Examples: Swamp Thing, Constantine, Animal Man, The Spectre, Dr. Fate)
THE EDGE: This section includes stories with themes of science fiction, crime, & other mature themes. (Examples: Doom Patrol, Deathstroke, Suicide Squad, Rorschach, Midnighter, Stormwatch, Grifter, The Question)
THE BEYOND: This section includes stories that are set in space. (Examples: Blue Lanterns, New Gods, Legion of Superheroes, Adam Strange)
Recent Events:
It is still the early days of superheroes yet, however an ancient evil recently struck creating a surge of super villains across the nation. The question is whether the disorganized and disunited superhero community will be overwhelmed or rise like never before.
