| GENERAL QUESTIONS: Q: You said this series is an Elseworlds. Say what? A: Elseworlds is the comic book term given to story arcs that don�t take place in current continuity, and most often they�re really �out there�, usually taking place in the future, sometimes �what-if� stories (Ex � Kingdom Come, Thrillkiller). Our series isn�t an extreme Elseworlds, but it�s the best way to describe it � nothing that happens in our series has happened in the comics � we took the aftermath of an event, and from there created the series. It�ll never really happen in the comics. Q: When does this series take place? A: Almost directly after the events in Batman/Huntress: Cry for Blood, which occurred a few months after the events of No Man�s Land. A lot of the things that happened in that mini-series are recounted, but it may be a good idea to check the graphic novel out for yourself. Similar things happen in our series that have happened in the comics lately, but it is not congruent to the current continuity. Considering we�re completely broke, we can only read comics when we can, so naturally we�re not always up to date, and don�t consistently read one title or book, just those here and there that we like. SO � read Cry for Blood, and put anything that�s happened after it out of your mind. Also, it may help if you are familiar with the "No Man's Land" story arc. Q: Is there a place where I could see a timeline? Maybe get a good idea of where your series takes place? A: Here ya go: Timeline Q: So gimme a recap � what hasn�t happened? A: Well, you asked for it � WARNING � MAY CONTAIN SLIGHT SPOILERS!!! Huntress�s new mid-drift-showing-hot-pants outfit does not exist. In our series, she�s still in her purple-and-black-covers-all-of-her costume. She�s not part of the JLA anymore, nor is she a member of the Batfamily, the Outsiders, or the Birds of Prey. Donna Troy is NOT dead, Spoiler is STILL Spoiler (NOT Robin!), Tim is still the Boy Wonder. Forget about the catastrophe with Blockbuster, Bludhaven, and Tarantula; Amy doesn�t know that Dick is Nightwing, either; red-haired-freckled-faced-Josh-the-parking-attendant and the Outsiders don�t exist either. Q: Anything ELSE I should know? *rolls eyes* A: *smirk* Well, since you asked, Tim Drake is back at Gotham Heights, not boarding school. He didn�t like Brentwood so he�s home. No, there is no story backing this up. It�s just the way it is. Also, Babs and Dick ARE a couple. As in, they�re dating. An item. Together-ness. Kissy-ness. The L-word. Capiche? If you don�t like it, well, either deal or turn back now. Okay, now that you�ve got all *that* stuff figured out� Q: Will you link to my site? A: Sure, if we like it. E-mail us, and if we like it enough to keep visiting, or if we like you enough, it�s end up on the link page one of these days. Q: Can I submit a story, essay, etc? A: Can you? Please do! See the Submission Guidelines for details... Q: How come you guys rarely update with anything? I need my fixes now! A: Because we go to a grueling private school that loves to kill us with sports requirements, homework, and all the other extracurricular activities. On top of that, our families have their own expectations of us, not to mention church, jobs, and sleep. We DO work really hard, and hopefully things will pick up. (You try writing a series with 50 plus stories in it!) About The Series... Q: So, how did you guys come up with the series? A: Ashley first had the idea when she was becoming a fanfic-junkie, and was reading up about certain characters she had rather large interest in. Unhappy with the way some things were going, Ashley decided to take some things into her own hands. She had had the idea for a few main stories (maybe four at the most) and had been keeping silent on the whole thing. She wasn�t sure anyone would accept it, and wanted someone to do it with her. Having recently gotten Lisa interested in the Bativerse, she finally told her about it. At first, Lisa was rather disinterested (and who would blame her?), but then she started asking Ashley about some of the lesser-known characters. Huntress became our now-and-forever favorite character. After reading bios and fanfics, slowly Ashley began having more and more ideas, and then Lisa started having some of her own, getting more �into it� as we went�.and BAM! A series was born. But don�t think that we came up with ALL the stories in one night. Many times we�ve stayed up past two in the morning (once till five!) talking about details, new story ideas, new characters, and how hot Dick Grayson is. ;) More Help.... Q: Hi, I�m a Bat-dunce, but I want to read your series. I realize that I�ll need a lot of info. Where can I find information on the characters, so that I�m at least a little bit on your level? A: You�re in luck! We�ve got bios on the site; go to the Biographies section to find �em. We�re trying to get those up fast so you don�t have to go a few stories not knowing who people are. Or go to the Links section � there, you�ll find all the links to all the info you need. If you still have a question, ask us! We�ll most likely be able to answer it! Also, a good starting point, whether or not you read comics, is to pick up the graphic novel, Batman/Huntress: Cry for Blood. Yes, we keep bringing that up. It�s a six-issue story that�ll introduce you to a lot of main characters and their background, as well as the incident that kicks off the series. |
