In order to make it easier for new writers to get onto the DC2 merry-go-round, details of all writer openings on existing titles will now be posted in this section.
To answer a few questions, before they're asked:
Can only new writers apply to write the titles?
No, since all openings are listed here, all writers (both new and current) can pitch their ideas for the title (for new writers, a sample of writing, or a link to their writing elsewhere, is required).
When will titles be posted here?
In addition to titles always open for submissions (DC2 Showcase, A--Star Comics, Rogues Gallery, the Elseworlds section), titles will also be posted here when a writer is required for a title either now or in the foreseeable future.
For example, whenever a writer plans to leave a title, details will always be posted here, so that both new and existing writers can apply for the writing position.
Titles will also be made available to other writers in the event of non-production of a title by the current creator(s). If an issue of a monthly title hasn't appeared in three months (or four months or five months in the case of bimonthlies or quarterlies) then, unless there are extenuating circumstances, that title will also be posted here by the editor.
When a writer has been chosen, the details will be deleted from this section, so that only available titles are listed here.
What about pitching new titles?
If you have an idea for a title featuring characters we're not currently using, then these can of course be pitched (PM your ideas to admin).
