- request to the appropriate email address. Please note that the appropriate
- address for subscribing and unsubscribing is often different from the

- equivalent of "posting" articles.
-
- "comics-l", a listserv discussion list

- Comic Art Studies
- A newsletter from the Russel B. Nye Popular Culture Collection at

-
- Superguy
- Superguy is a mailing list devoted to interactive adventure fiction,
- of both humorous and serious types. It is an open, unmonitored list,
- which allows anyone to post anything they wish. However, as our
- stated purpose is entertaining fiction, posts not connected with
- that fiction or discussing the group itself are frowned on. There
- are several different universes, including the Superguy universe,
- a superheroic satire.
-
- I'm personally not familiar with it, but it seems similar to the
- LNH with established characters and plotlines. Before posting, one
- should get a copy of their FAQ. To subcribe, send the message
- SUBSCRIBE SUPERGUY to listproc@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu while submissions
- to the list should go to superguy@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu
