In a perfect world, all of the heroines in Metrobay have something unique to say but obviously there's only a limted about of pages to say these things in. My personal take is that the lesser characters don't really get a chance to shine unless they HAVE that screen time, much like the recent saga featuring Snowflake pointed out. That's where having other people write in your "universe" comes in. You just need to make sure that those authors adhere to what YOU think the characters should be.
You make an excellent point, and Nitpicker wrote something similar in the "Which story would you like to see?" thread. When Metrobay first started rolling, it was just me and Finister at the wheel. He wrote the Pink Pussycat bondage/peril stories, and I wrote the Superheroine Squad mind control/robots stories. For years that's all we had, and it was... ok.
Recently we have been blessed with a slowly growing team of fantastic artists and writers who have contributed their time and energy to making Metrobay a more interesting place to tell our stories. I'm talking about Trishbot, Akonkid, Northern Chill, MCtek, Mindchanger, Nezit, Sir Willoughby... and I hope I'm not leaving anyone out. Frankly, without these fine folks Metrobay wouldn't exist as it does today. They have helped to refine our existing characters, and augmented them with their own fresh and original ideas.
I think I speak for Finister when I say that that we're proud to work alongside these talented individuals. They have, as you mentioned, allowed our creations to flourish, and I can only hope that they'll continue to do so for a long time to come.
