Hello everyone!

Sigh...you know, sometimes it's tough being the creator of so many great products, living the good life in the high tower with all these responsibilities. So many things to juggle...remember when it was easier? When you were still new and didn't have so many things to take care of? Back when you could...could just be yourself? I'm not crying! Ahem...I'm just...aha! Coming up with an idea for the next challenge! That's it...I know EXACTLY what it'll be! I challenge you all to write an arc for levels 5 to 10 with a story about a known hero or villain who loses their powers.

When you feel that you've made an arc that has the chops to meet these guidelines, send an e-mail to AECommunityContest@ncsoft.com with the following in the subject line: @Global Name - Arc ID - Arc Name. Submissions for the arc can start NOW and will end on Wednesday, February 24th, 11:59 AM PST. You can only submit your own arcs. No submitting for shy people!

Winners will be announced on or around March 3rd 2010 on the Official City of Heroes Message Forums.

The grand prize winner will receive a permanent title on a character of their choice.

I feel like we've gotten to know each other really well over the past few months. So you know what, here's a tip, something for you all to keep in mind when you're trying to meet my high expectations.

An arc that meets these criteria is just the first step towards winning. Throwing in a surprise that you don't often see in levels 5-10 will help you stand out more in this challenge. I want to enjoy the times that have passed!
So, what are you waiting for? The contest starts now! Good luck!

-Dr. Aeon
