ANIMATED BATMAN/SUPERMAN SITES:
* - indicates a shameless plug for a site a certain
double-faced editor created with his bare
hands - in other words, a cheap advertising technique.
If you have any questions, problems, links do not work, or
anything else, then please e-mail
this address with your problems and we'll try to fix them as soon as possible. Also if
you'd
like to send any fan-mail then please send it to this address:
As for submissions, feel free to submit an article or opinion
on anything pertaining to BTAS.
Keep in mind that as the editors, we have the right to edit your submissions if we deem it
necessary. Such instances would include problems with length, grammar, and language.
If we do
feel we must edit something, however, we will do our utmost to ensure that the opinion and
the
basic message of the submission does not change, as that is the most important part of any
article, and everyone is entitled to it. And if you do submit something, please don't just
submit a basic review of an episode or a comic or something (because we have people
writing for
those purposes already) - write about an issue you'd like to discuss.
