Multiverse Pinch Hitters Wanted

As you'll all have noticed by now, Multiverse 5000 has finally gone live over at multiverse2004. However, I'm still missing a third of the stories. I think everyone will agree that this is not a good thing.

Some of the people who didn't get stories didn't turn anything in themselves, but that leaves half a dozen people who wrote a fic but didn't get one in return. If you might be able to write a crazy space crossover in the next week or two, I'd love to hear from you.

So, Sandeigo Comic Con is over for a year. If there was any exciting news about the shows I love, my flist has not informed me so far. (Of course, I tend to be pretty spoiler-avoidant anyway.)

However, it seems that Hasbro and Mattel are trying to get me to give them all the money I make at my new job. Nothing exciting revealed in the Marvel Legends line, but there were lots of shiny Transformers. We're getting a Universe Cyclonus to go with Universe Galvatron, and a repaint of Animated Activators Bumblebee as Cliffjumper, with a new headsculpt! Here's hoping they make Wasp in the same scale.

Also on show were many more Robot Heroes to swell the ranks of my tiny robot army, including Ironhide, Blaster and Thrust. The appearance of a Conehead is especially cool, as it means we're bound to see the other two soon.

Even cooler than the transforming robots, though, was Mattel's DC comics panel. Because, dude. I cannot even tell you how awesome their news was, so I'm going to show you instead.
