I'm Michael
Sacal and I'm Editor in Chief of The
Omniverse Fan Fic.
At the behest of Gregory Hernandez, I've gathered the new additions to the Omniverse Interview and added new replies to the original questions from both Greg and myself to bring this feature of the aspect up to date. The old version will still be available for you to compare to what actually happened at the time.
Hopefully this version will see its promises fulfilled like the ones made in the original interview were.
The format of this Q&A will start with a question and answers by as many of the writers that were available at this time.
There are 10 questions total, and since there are 10 answers to each question, this interview will be presented in three parts. Part 1 will cover four questions while the other two will cover three each.
(What is The Omniverse Fan Fic Site: The Omniverse Fan Fic Site revolves around the concept of Merging the DC, Marvel, Wildstorm, Image and Extreme/Awesome Universes into one single, cohesive reality. The cut off point for the site is January 2001. All events happening before December 31st 2000 in the comics is part of continuity and any happening after are not.)
Part 1: Who Are We, What Have We Done and Why We're Here...
Question 1: Who are you and what do you write?
I'm still Michael Sacal (MS) and I still live in Mexico City :). Currently I'm still the editor in chief and webmaster of the site, a position I plan to hold for a long time to come, as well as writer for Justice League Earth and Superman: The Last Son of Krypton.
I'm Gregory Hernandez (GH) and I will be writing Heroes For Hire and the new Fantastic Four for Omniverse.
My name is Dawn Byrnes (DB) and I'm writing two canon titles - StormWatch and taking over WildCATs later on - and two original series with canon characters - Traveler and The Catchers.
I'm known as Rodimus, or Rodimus_2316 (R2) in places with other Rodimus handles. I'm one of the head editors of DC 2099, and wish to co-write Batman 2099 (my creation) with someone.
Question 2: What fan fic work are you better know for?
MS: The Merge, Superman: The Last Son of Krypton, Justice League Avengers and Our Omniverse At War, all at Omniverse.
GH: World’s Finest Tales of Suspense, Featuring Spider-Man, and the Fantastic Four backup stories in JLA, both for Omni
DB: Not comic book fan fiction actually, but work based on Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar series. I only got started on comic fan-fiction after coming here.
R2: My first was Transformers 2099, followed by various fanfic projects from a fanfic group I used to have.
Question 3: How long have you been working on fan fic?
MS: For about four years now.
GH: For about a year now, ever since that ape-boy Michael Sacal kidnapped my goldfish. (Ed. note: lol).
DB: About six months seriously, but been writing stuff down for years.
R2: I've been doing fanfic for about six years.
Question 4: What attracted you to work at Omniverse?
MS: The chance to create something bigger than me that will last longer than I will.
GH: I like the idea of the merged universes quite a bit. I started as a reader and it was my pleasure to become involved as a writer and one-time assistant editor for the site
DB: The chance to right a few wrongs done to SW when the series ended, and to combine a whole lot of original material I had created with canon to produce a believable story that draws from many things.
R2: I think it has a cool setup, one that needs to be done, and I really want to get DC 2099 working in it also.
