Hello! My name is Darren Blackburn from the UK! I'm a die-hard Nova fan and have for the last several years been a regular my side of the pond contributor to Nova Prime Page both as a writer, artist and collector of Rich Rider stuff ever since I bought my first issue of Nova way back in 1980. My claim to fame, if you can call it that is I've worked with dozens of my fellow Centurions and friends as part of a fan collective called Team619 which we began back in 2009 sometime after the end of Rich's best modern run with Abnett and Lanning. The aim was to fill the gap, cause without being too touchly it took a long time for most of the old fan base to get used to the introduction of Sam Alexander; but nowadays we're pretty fine with our newer fans who over the years have got more interested in the original Nova.
As part of NPP's creative side; our team created 2 fan titles, one Nova619 which is our free PDF comic which features Richard Rider of Universe 619, set in a different timeline post Annihiltion that diverged from DnA's run and adapted a number of proposed fan fics for a then Nova fan-fic series. It took a few years to design and created a bible for would be contributors for both guest writers and artists. Currently Nova619 is on hiatus as some of us our working out original projects for our Cohort label.
The other series is Novaverses; this is our quarterly fan-fic series featuring different Novas in different universes where anything goes; with fics illustrated by contributing artists both members of Team619 and commissioned artists. The series resumes in January 2019. Both can be accessed from the archives here - www.novaprimepage.com/619.asp and www.novaprimepage.com/novaverses.asp
I have visited Marvel2000 in the past, particularly enjoyed David Imgram's Force Works which I'm glad to see is still accessible today. Recently I got permission to re-run Liam Gibb's run of New Warriors fics from New Warriors.com (a continuation of the original series with Nova, Night Thrasher, Speedball, Hindsight Lad, Turbo and Timeslip) for Novaverses and I'd like to ask if there's any possibilty that I could re-run Force Works for the later 2019 issues? In return; not sure if it would fit the criteria here, I do have quite a long fic that featured in the first six issues of Novaverses featuring Nova619 - that maybe you could feature here?
