Union Dues may be coming to television!

[CryptoMe]

The Union Dues website is live at www.1800gounion.com!

Go Union!

Great site!!

One minor issue... In the Contact Us web page, there is no option for "I am manifesting Superhuman abilities" in the Subject dropdown list. One would expect to see something like that, considering the banner subheading "Feeling different?...We may want to speak with you." Or are we to assume that at this point in Union history, no one would actually join voluntarily???

Sorry, my software tester background is showing

Normals typically manifest as kids. So their parents, neighbors, or principals would be obligated to make contact. There are other ways to self identify that are not related to The Union website.

I realize that the Darksider character has NOTHING in common with the Darkseid character, but aren't you worried about some flak over that name?

No

A very Steve-Jobs-ian response.

Thanks Clutron, as of May 17th, I've resold the option rights to the same guys. They are doing some social media stuff at the moment and trying to generate interest.

Would've been better'n "Alphas."  And "Heroes" because it wouldn't have taken the crazytrain to Noplotsville in its second season.

  i has a sad.  I suppose between Arrow and AoS (which has also had some missteps) they feel they have more than enough comic book superhero types on TV.  Too bad. 

Well good luck on your continued writings.

Sorry to hear that.  Do the rights revert back so you can try again later?

Yes, the rights were sold only for a relatively short period of time. I have them now. I also have the rights to all the stuff I wrote in support of that effort, the film script, and teleplay, TV series treatment etc... I'll probably convert some of that into more short stories at some point. Who knows, maybe one of the tens of people who bought my book Escape Clause is a Hollywood producer and it'll shamble back to life like a superhero zombie.
