Where are you located again? What do you think of my response to L!? I'm still toying with the plot thickening in a story I'm writing. Do you think the world is tired of superheroes?



I'm located in England, on the border between Essex and London (a few hundred miles south of HH, incidentally).

As L points out, there are plenty of adventure stories that do not involve superheroes. Hercules and Gilgamesh aside, the superhero genre iteslf is actually fairly modern. However, at the end of the day, the "superhero" parts of the story are really only trappings - decoration on the main body of the story.

Really, there are only two questions:

(1) Do you have a story worth telling?
(2) Do you want it to contain superheroes?
