Thinking about submitting a proposal for an available series here at DC Omega? Well…hold on a minute! There are some things you need to know first. There are guidelines for submissions, specifically a list of things you need to do first. They are as follows:

  • Before you begin writing your proposal, please take the time to familiarize yourself with the site and please check the dibs list to ensure that the characters you want to use are in fact available (if they are dibbed, contact the writers who hold those dibs). If you don’t, the editors will ask you to check with those writers first, so doing it in advance will save you time.
  • If a crucial character to your stories is dibbed, don’t worry. Again, check with the writer who holds the dib. If your plans and the other writer’s don’t coincide, then get creative. Necessity is the mother of all invention and you’d be surprised how simple it could be to substitute characters.

The following is a list of things which must be included in your proposal. If you don’t include these things, you will just be asked to do so, so again, save yourself some time.

  • An introduction explaining the basics of what you want to do with the series (this does not have to be long).
  • Complete cast of characters you want to use (including villains and guest stars).
  • Plots for the first twelve issues of the series (or however long your limited series will last). They don’t have to incredibly detailed, but there needs to be a clear indication of what’s going to happen.
  • A sample of your writing (a link to a story is fine).

Approval of any proposal is contingent upon its plots and concepts fitting into the DC Omega universe so as not to disrupt or contradict anything occurring or to occur in any other series. We take our continuity very seriously here! On average, proposals are responded to within a week, but as this is just a hobby for us, there are times when we may take longer to respond. Please be patient. And be sure not to fret if you are initially turned down—we will work with potential writers to shape their proposals to fit better into the group.

If you are unable to or uninterested in committing to a limited or ongoing series, then you can also submit one-shot tales for our anthology title, Showcase.At the moment, we are not interested in Elseworlds tales. However, Vertigo books along the lines of 100 Bullets or The Invisibles, which are not compatible with the DCU, will be considered.

Please make sure to check the dibs list before working on a proposal! If a character you want to use is dibbed, you may feel free to contact the writer who holds a dib on that character to see if the character can be shared. Many writers are happy to make such accommodations. If you submit a proposal that includes dibbed characters without consulting that writer, we will simply ask you to do just that, so you can save yourself some time by checking in advance.

If you’re not sure what to propose, scroll past the submission form for a list of titles we’d like to see at the site. Keep in mind that you are not limited to these titles—they’re just suggestions. You’re more than welcome to propose something not listed below.

Also consult our FAQ page and take some time to familiarize yourself with the site and its continuity. Unlike many other sites, DC Omega is a rebooted universe with no previous continuity taken from the comics.

If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask! You can submit all questions to the editor. To submit a proposal, please use this form:
