Pride High
I like clever, and the premise of Pride High certainly seems clever. Apparently the story takes place at the Poseidon Preparatory Academy for Heroic Youth and follows Pride High, the first gay/straight alliance at the school, who are apparently good enough to get into a tournament called I.S.C.
The I.S.C. is the abbreviation for the Inter-Squad Championship. Other schools use the terms “intersquad” and “intrasquad” interchangeably to denote competition among members of the same team. However, Poseidon Preparatory Academy’s I.S.C. is truly an intersquad event, pitting teams of 5 members against each other in a year-long competition. Grades, community service, and direct 5-on-5 matches in the “Battledome” all count toward the grand prize – a summer internship with the premier supergroups of North America! Joining a squad is a major avenue for reader characters to become a part of the narrative.
Wait, what was that last line? You mean readers can contribute characters to the story? Sweet!
Pride High’s site says that it will be out in Fall of 2006… yeah, we wish we could get you a better answer too.

Thanks for the article! I came across it randomly while doing a little bit of googling.
We’re serious about reader contributions. Several reader characters have been added to the storyline already, including an all-reader squad known as “Feral Force.” And there’s even a spot for a reader to become a main character. Just head on over to our boards for more info!
