Chapter 1 of Ragtag Heroes is officially up...for now.
I've got a few coding corrections to make, so the thread must go. 'Tis sad, I know. So read it while you can, SUCKAS!
I'll be available to autograph copies for the rest of the night only.

Long, especially considering my somewhat short attention span, but still good. Maybe its just me and my over-exposure to super-heroes, but I like the idea of a lone meta against a squad of normal highly trained humans. I dig the espionage angle with a touch of super-ness, like a government secret that would really rock the world if it got out

Well, this is gonna ruin your high...
Ragtag Heroes is based (loosely) on the characters and ideas in Justice League Reality, a round-robin storytelling effort that takes place in this forum. All of the essential characters (and there are many more to introduce) are derived from JLR stories. 73, for example, is my version of Midnight Spectre/(young)Nightwing. Codek is Fused, DiAngelo is Cowgirl Jack, and so forth and so on. Most of the characters who have had anything to do with the JLR will show up in this story, remixed in some fashion.
Why am I telling you this? I dunno. Wait, I remember. The JLR is a team story and so, essentially, is Ragtag Heroes. In its guts and bones, it's the story of a group of heroes on a shared quest.
However, it's not the JLR (that is the point, after all), and please believe me, this won't follow the same pattern as your average JLA/JSA/X-Men comic. It's not comedy, it's not spandex, it's not segmented into six-issue story arcs. And it's not all adventure. It has espionage, for sure, but that's just a small part of what will be a loooooong undertaking. Don't try to place it neatly in a genre based on Chapter 1. I think you'll find that Chapter 2 is very different, and Chapter 4 throws everything before it clear out the window.
Well, not really. Everything, even Tractor-Trailer Bob, has a reason. You'll see it all again.

Clinton's name is trademarked.
I still don't know who Ace Rimmer is, really. I mean, I saw a website, but...
The Narrator is narrating. Duh!

Your character oversees Neverland Ranch. He keeps EVERYTHING in tip top shape, but is specifically in charge of changing the bed sheets.

Thank you both for the kind words. I'm considering going weekly with this instead of biweekly. Depends on what my schedule looks like in the Fall.

I have a question... If Britannica in the JLR doesn't wear spandex, does this mean his counterpart in Ragtag does?  Asking the important questions...

The Britannica of Ragtag Heroes does not wear spandex.
No one needs to see that.

So, like, Ragtag Heroes. Yeah.
As some of you know, my old computer crashed shortly before I got my new comp, and I lost everything I had on the HD that wasn't backed up. That included all the pics I had saved for the women's forum, a whole mess of computer programming projects, and, of course, all my writings over the last two years and change, including the first six chapters of Ragtag Heroes.
Weep for me.
Needless to say, the computer programming projects came first, cuz I needed them for school and stuff. I started restocking on pics and I'm slowly getting my buffer back.
Ragtag Heroes? Not so much.
I'm starting all over with that. Yeah, I know how much it sucks when someone says they're starting their long-winded writing project all over and then they never get to it *cough*Future Times*cough*, but I promise I will. Promise. Pinky swear, even. It'll be better than it was gonna be. I have ideas. They are good ideas...I think.
It'll just take some time.

I wonder what the Space Baby thinks of all this.
