Very cool! I have been wanting to write an article about that topic for years, but haven't been able to find all of my personal comic creations and sketches from Junior High yet. I'm not eligible to win the contest, but I may still put one together with new sketches of old "original" characters. My artistic skills have not improved at all since their creation anyway.

I can't even imagine what insane creations the mind of Hoju came up with in his youth. What a trip that would be!

Mine is a retrospective. I'm looking at the characters I made in my youth (The ones I remember at least) and how they led me to the writer I am today. 

I'm having a hard time coming up with anything as I didn't make radio programs or invent alter egos or personas. Does a fictional story count that I wrote when I was a lad? If not you will be treated to an epic tale about my dungeons and dragons character. Perhaps I will do both. Comics that I drew back then were of known characters with new stories. Most of my imaginary play was pretending to be established characters within a certain mythos.

If that fictional story contained fictional characters of your own imagination, it would absolutely fit!

My entry is complete and submitted!

i have a short but sweet article submission.

Mine is a retrospective talking about the fiction stories I used to write and the characters in them.

I want to see an article about the younger days of Mel Zorro. We all know the legend of who he became, but id like a glimpse at the early years.

Dang. I have none of my old paper. I might be able to do something interesting if I did. Ace, Mantis, Harry, Dorkman, and Fathead would finally be published somewhere. I will conspicuously say that this in no way represents a great loss to the world.

I've got an incomplete draft right now that's in need of an ending, some editing, and some pictures. If all goes well, it should be submitted soon.
