We're trying something starting with this week's contest (Character Contest 25) -- You get to pick the winner! I've selected the submissions that I feel are particularly worth of inclusion, our Honorable Mentions from which you, the voting public, will select a winner.

Even better, you can vote for however many entries you think are worthy of the win. So if you're the kind of person who has trouble deciding between two great choices, this is the poll for you!

I'll close voting next Monday, when the next contest is announced. If this goes well, we'll try the voting thing again.

Good luck to everyone, and congratulations to the following Honorable Mentions, may the Most Honorable Mention win!

Starting this week I am moving contests to Mondays*, so heads-up on that. And to "kick" off the change, your challenge this week is to come up with the funniest replacement dialog for this blank comic book panel:

Yeah, good luck with that! The rules are simple:

• Entries must be made as a comment (or comments) to this post;
• Keep it relatively clean (appropriate for late-night broadcast TV at worst);
• No more than three entries per person, so use your best stuff!

I'll announce a winner next Monday, who will receive their choice of either any item of their choice, or a portrait of themselves, either of which will be included in the final HeroMachine 3 version.

Good luck everyone!

*The current character contest will be judged tomorrow as per the old system, with the next coming next Monday instead of next Tuesday, then we'll be completely on the new schedule.
