I'll add my $.01 to that thought. FISS is why I'm here.

But if you're taking suggestions:

1. "A Day at the Beach." The superwoman might be a lifeguard, a volleyball player, a swimsuit model on a photoshoot, or just a girl enjoying a day off.

2. "Princess Power." Imagine a Disney princess with super-powers. I've written a couple of chapters of a super Rapunzel story, and a while ago Woodclaw wrote a terrific story about a super Aurora that blended the Disney cartoon with darker elements from European folklore -- one of my favorites. Let's see what our writers might do with Cinderella, Ariel, Jasmine, Belle ...

3. "Supergirl in Training." A novice supergirl is learning how to use her powers, perhaps under the guidance of an experienced super-heroine. Or the story might focus on an academy or boot camp for supergirls.

4. "Who Wants to Be a Superheroine?" For a "reality" TV show, a group of women are given temporary super-powers and make their way through a series of competitions. One or more of them are eliminated at the end of each round. Last one standing gets permanent super-powers. Write an episode of the show.

I really like the idea of number 4 there! Inspiring! Not up to me tho - maybe one day. ..

As mentioned before my concern was the strong focus of FISS of alien descent here. Kryptonians specifically. I don't have a problem with FISS but I can imagine there is equal resistance about not using Kryptonians here as it is about avoiding the FISS powerset.

What's FISS? Full in SuperStrength?

Flying
Invulnerable
Strength
Sexy
?

I really like numbers 2 and 4, but I'd probably not even try number 4

Kings of Empire didn't have a "DC" element, and it won. The complaint I received was it was too slow, and that most readers would skip over the boring stuff, I agree...So, I feel that if you're writing for character development, story line and originality, you might have come to the wrong place. You want to win a workshop, you gotta keep and keep and keep up the entertainment.

As for my selection, I really can't choose...

I kinda like Lfans idea.

Gonna leave it to fats for this one.
