The following is a record anonymously donated to the Justice Backers by a member of the Gamedreamy staff.  Gamedreamy is an up and coming site where individuals livestream the playing of video games, board games, and card games.  Though Secret Shuffle is banned on their service, one individual managed to complete a stream of four whole games.  The individual in question often goes by the name Swagglerock69, a handle he regularly uses to harass members of the Justice Backers and their community.

Salt Shaker’s Skin-Crawling Fan Fiction Corner

The move to the Bay has derailed much of our lives.  Do.  Not.  Worry.  All of the fan fiction is intact.  Deckard and his goons might be able to stop us, maim us, kill us… but he cannot stop the power of socially awkward people intent on writing themselves into history as war heroes and legendary lovers.

Electric Eel Diary #29

(transcribed from video log)

Diary number twenty-nine without accidentally slipping on my own slime and killing myself during a mission.  Good work everybody.  Add another tally to the board.  Eventually I will at least slip; it’s inevitable.  I just hope that when I do I slide into a bad guy and knock him over so I can claim it was intentional.

Backer Update #51 (Game Over)

“With the inherent callousness of governments that try to care for more than seven billion people it is inevitable that some oil will need to slide between the pieces of the machine to keep us humane.  The Justice Backers are that oil.” – Ember Joseph, The Daily Pills

Do you like that beautiful quote backers?  That’s us they’re talking about.  In The Daily Pills!  The most read site among people who have a specific chair for reading.  This is actually the first positive quote we’ve gotten from anyone on their staff since we started.  That Donovan guy called us ‘vigilantes safeguarding only fetishized anonymity’.  Their head politics reporter Miriam said I was ‘a jumping-off point for campaign questions and nothing more’.  With how much the world talks about us it’s almost like I am something more.  It’s almost like the name Alpha Dog means something to people who happen to not be me.

Golden Boy Diary #38

(transcribed from video log)

Hey guys.  Okay, so… I’m sure you’ve heard that some nasty stuff went down a little while ago and I just want to do my best to explain how I got caught up in it.  The first thing I want to say is that I’m very unhappy with the way it turned out and I’m doing everything I can to get it sorted out.

The following is an excerpt from the TI/preheroes forum on Thinkitch

G0bluefins83:  Hey is this a Justice Backers room?  You guys have a lot of the same tags.

SacredQueen:  Sort of.  I’m one of the mods.  My name’s Becky :).  We’re preheroes so a lot of us are really inspired by the Justice Backers.

G0bluefins83:  What’s a prehero?  I don’t mean to be ignorant but I’ve never heard of them. Continue reading →

(blurb)

It’s the mid 2010’s, justice systems grow ever more rigid as crime takes to the internet.  With a little help from a crowdfunding website, a newly forged team of superheroes is looking to fill in the gaps, and provide their backers with some cool merch along the way!

Get all the updates straight from each hero as they take on vicious trolls, a trading card blackmail ring, and an ancient fungal entity with its own world wide web in this trilogy of novellas that also work together as a book.
