Super Canucks: An anthology of small-town Canadian superheroes
Description
We’re looking for stories that push the usual superhero tropes while shining a spotlight on unique corners of Canada. We want stories set in and around the nation’s more often overlooked locales—isolated small towns, remote reservations, bedroom communities, and other underrepresented areas of Canada. Give us rural superheroes, backwater supervillains, and tales of characters/communities at a crossroads.How does place impact your character? Are they unable to reconcile their superpowers with their residence or is it the people who pose the problem? Does your hero struggle to maintain a secret identity where everyone knows everyone or do they find that familiarity weirdly comforting given the challenges of being superpowered?
This listing is permanently closed for submissions. This may mean one of several things:
- It was always planned to be a limited-time project, such as a one-time anthology, and the limited-time submission window has ended.
- The publisher has stated that they are permanently closed, or on hiatus with wording that makes it sound permanent.
- The publication website is down in a way that appears to be permanent, and we haven't been able to find a new website for them.
- The publication website is not down, but it appears to have been inactive for more than a year.
