As you may know this site hosts a CoH fiction section called "Tales from Paragon City".  The idea is that players of CoH can write a fictional article and get it listed on this site as a work of fan fiction (with credit for authorship of course!).

The basic guidelines for this are listed in this thread:

I saw this article on the CoH main site and thought it might get your creative juices going afresh!

At the moment only two players have stepped up to the challenge, but I am sure that many more of you are capable of some really good stuff.  Get to it folks!  Show em what ya got!

Well here go's for my start....tell me what you think. 

A scream and his eyes flash open. His feet touch the cold floor as his nostrils are filled with the smell of sweat again.
‘They are not nightmare’s’ he hears his mentors voice ‘You open a portal to a different place and bring them to this world, that’s all’
The light from the bathroom lights up his head and McBride looks at the face in the mirror. ‘My God, for a 19 year old you look 25’ the blonde hair is wet with sweat and his eyes have dark lines. He turns on the shower.

‘Good you are awake, we will begin training again’ He turns to look at his mentor, the beautiful Longbow agent Susan Phillips. ‘Did you know that those nightmare images, with control, can be fired at your target’ She smiles that sweet spider smile.
When he first saw his mentor he thought ‘sexy’, the though departed after 3 minutes.
‘I hate you’ He thinks
‘And if you keep training you with learn to blind your target with those painful images’
‘And your bright spandex outfit would blind anyone first thing in the morning’ he thinks.

‘Strike your target!’
‘Again’
‘Use the spectral images, as a lance of justice…strike!’
He touched that place and brought some images. He saw them shoot towards the dummy and lightly flow over its chest.
‘Pathetic…strike again’
The images washed over the chest again.
‘No…not enough, that would not hurt a fly, OPEN THE PORTAL MCBRIDE!’
Anger flashed in his mind and he did not touch the place this time he punched it…and the portal opened. He swept his arm and focused his anger and his nightmares into one spectral lance.

‘They said you had potential…but my god….’
She turned to him
‘I think we need a new dummy’
And for the first time he saw her smile.... a warm a genuine smile.

Hi Dave,

I do agree its too short, and I will add to it. There is much more to say

I hope this image uploads correctly

Spectral

OK, all done.  On the front page as we speak!

Lightened the image up a bit as for some reason screenies from CoH are always dark and also cropped it a little.  Looks great on my machine but I will need to see it on another, or wait for feedback here.  Anyway, hope you like it! 

It will stay there until another person comes forward with a story of their own.  I know a few are threatening to do one, but as yet no one actually has!  Writers block maybe?   

I have also ammended your forum details to show that you contributed to the site.

Although it is up on the site at the moment, it is no big deal to add to it should you choose to do so.  Post here and I will add to it as you go.

Thanks for your efforts!   

Dave
