4. Novella Dedicated to Scans/NoScans Community
New author Helen Louise Caroll has dedicated a just released novella to the Scans/NoScans community. Superheroes In The Suburbs, published by Amber Quill Press, is available for download here.
The dedication reads:
"In grateful acknowledgement of Len Wein and J. M. DeMatteis who gave the world two perfect issues of Mister Miracle and to the Scans Daily community for introducing me to said issues."
5. The Delicious Tagging Plugin
In addition to all the other workmurklins has done helping the comm get set up on Delicious, she’s also provided us with a Greasemonkey script that automatically displays the Delicious tags at the bottom of any entry.
There are versions available for both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox over at her scripts page. While Chrome has built-in Greasemonkey functionality, Firefox users will need to install the add-on, available here.
There can be slight conflicts due to Delicious' latency and your browser's local cache, which can delay any new tags displaying immediately, but it can still be an invaluable resource.
Now, due to a backlog we’ve been experiencing, the plug-in won’t display tags for the last month or so because they simply don’t exist. The mod team has been struggling to keep up with the on-site and Delicious tags, but has found the workload more than four people alone can handle. We’re always looking to recruit new tag-wranglers, while also looking into ways we can automate the process of Delicious-tagging. In the meantime, if you’d like to lend a hand, please send us an e-mail at dailyscans AT gmail DOT com and we’d be happy to get you set up as a volunteer.
As always, thank you for your cooperation and support (as well as your cracky scans!), and continue being your awesome selves.
The mod team can be reached at dailyscans AT gmail DOT com. Don’t hesitate to contact us with questions, concerns or suggestions!

4. Novella Dedicated to Scans/NoScans Community
New author Helen Louise Caroll has dedicated a just released novella to the Scans/NoScans community. Superheroes In The Suburbs, published by Amber Quill Press, is available for download here.
When a secret agent and a superhero move to the suburbs, can they find happiness?
Secret agent Gary has been looking for a home of his own forever. Superhero Cole, aka the Scarlet Bug, just wants to make his lover happy and to get away from being a superhero all the time.
At first, when the men buy a house in the suburbs, they can't help but believe that their dream has come true, that they can finally live a calm, quiet, and "normal" life when they're not on the job.
But Cole and Gary also don't count on over-enthusiastic superhero colleagues helping them move in, or startling guests at the friendly neighborhood barbeque...
The dedication reads:
"In grateful acknowledgement of Len Wein and J. M. DeMatteis who gave the world two perfect issues of Mister Miracle and to the Scans Daily community for introducing me to said issues."
