7/30/00:
1) Demon's Head 2099 one-shot by Mike Sacal *Rejected!*: I regret to inform DC 2099 readers and staff that Sacal's Demon's Head 2099 one-shot story, to have appeared in the first issue of "Legends of the DC Universe 2099," was rejected in the end, due to editorial and creative differences between Sacal and myself. The one-shot story did have a lot of good things about it, but it just didn't fit with DC 2099's "definate future" premise.
2) Lierson Morias leaves Editor in Chief position!: Due to problems in real life, EiC Lierson Morais has left his position as...well, EiC. I've now taken over as EiC, but would rather settle for being AEiC again, and with someone else as EiC. This person would have to: Know a TON about Marvel 2099, how it works, and what Cavalieri intended for it, and at least a fair understanding of both the Marvel and DC Universes. Please e-mail me if you'd like to try out for Editor in Chief of DC 2099. Thank you.
3) Looking for suggestions on how to improve the DC 2099 Submissions page, as well as DC 2099 site itself: Have *you* read the DC 2099 submissions page? Do you think it should be different in any way to get more people to submit story ideas? Please e-mail me with your suggestions.
4) DC 2099 still looking for more artists: Are you an artist? Would you like to help the writers create images of title logos, characters and/or places from their stories? If so, please e-mail them individually so this can all get undway.
