Time to Vote for 2011

[weaselett.livejournal.com]

The masterpost for 2010, can now be found here.

Before I start into Big Bang related business, I wanted to let you all know that tomorrow (16th March) I shall be making a post to the community, which will include links to all of the communities that are currently running auctions to raise money to help Japan - the main reason for that is so that those of you who are offering stuff and drop a comment onto the post, basically it's a chance to get the word out a bit more.


Now, it's time to start really thinking about this year's Big Bang - last year, a number of you said that you would be interested in doing a reverse big bang (art being made first, then used as a prompt for the writing) - which is still a possibility. The question is, whether you would all prefer a Reverse Big Bang this year to a normal Big Bang, or if you want to do both. There is also the question of when you all want this to happen.

So, with that in mind, here is a preliminary poll, mainly aimed at judging interest:

[Poll #1718275]


(EDIT: This poll will be open until 25th March - after which we'll take a look at the results and decide a plan of attack.)

Thanks

I am spamming this post with my comment that OMG I want more Leverage fic! And episodes! Including the Very Special All-Shirtless Episode!

Er, this is what you meant, right? I didn't have to be on-topic?

[weaselett.livejournal.com]

I have an important question - when you say 'all-shirtless' do you mean all of them shirtless (in which case, poor hardison, he'd never be facing the girls) - or just one of them shirtless for a whole episode?


....there was a topic...oh yes so there was ;)

*coughs* this is now actually a reply to you instead of a new comment *whistles*

... can i vote for Gina topless?

[weaselett.livejournal.com]

if I say no, will you throw things at me ;)

[badfalcon.livejournal.com]

*ponders* yes. hard heavy things that will make you go OW. and I won't let you have love from the rottie. so ner.

[weaselett.livejournal.com]

*pouts* ok fine, you can vote for gina topless (even though I don't think you can throw heavy things far enough to hit me at the moment - you'll have too many opportunities next month)

[zortified.livejournal.com]

All of them shirtless! Equal opportunity for all viewers!

[weaselett.livejournal.com]

YAY - maybe we should start a petition....no actually no we shouldn't, we can just wish (or bribe people to write it/mention it to john rogers)

I have a question about the reverse big bang. Would the artists be able to be authors as well? However, if we do the reverse one, I'd sign up for artist rather than writer. :)

[weaselett.livejournal.com]

With the reverse big bang, yes an artist could also be a writer, but they would have to claim someone else's art

hopefully that makes sense to you :)

[crescent-gaia.livejournal.com]

That makes great sense. :)

I really do like the idea of the reverse big bang the more and more I think about it.

[denyce.livejournal.com]

Hmm, checking back. I already voted, but it seems like it'll end up a reverse. I'm sad since it wasn't my choice. It's not like I dislike a reverse, but I already have what I planned to write, and it wouldn't fit with a reverse. So unless you plan on both - a place for writers (me) who already have their bunny/plot in place....

If not, well I'll still write my story, sadly it just won't be part of the bigbang.

[weaselett.livejournal.com]

Nothing has been decided yet - this is still just a prelim poll to judge interest - it's likely we'll run both, but we'll have to see what happens

[denyce.livejournal.com]

I have my fingers-crossed!

It's just that I have already made a commitment (on the fandom/subject/pairing) when I signed up to write a remix of the movie: The Wedding Banquet. Had already asked if I could doubledip, and planned to write/post here before posting it over at the other comm - why the reverse wouldn't work for me.

Sadly I'm not that prolific of a writer to take on both. On the off chance it doesn't work out, I'll be happy to stick around to at least cheerlead everyone else =)

I chose Other for timing as any would be fine. :-)

[weaselett.livejournal.com]

HEE - a few people have said the same and it's good to know :)

[sheryden.livejournal.com]

I see that Reverse Big Bang is winning, but I hope we do a normal Big Bang, as well. This was going to be my first year participating, and I was excited for it. But I've planned out what I wanted to write. I'm reasonably certain my idea won't fit with anyone's art, so I won't be able to participate unless there is a regular Big Bang. :( Well, maybe I'll have better luck next year.

[weaselett.livejournal.com]

The intention is to do both a reverse and a normal, but we want to see what people are interested in before making any decisions

Plus, there's still time for the poll to change (only 18 people have voted - the comm has over 300 watchers, and 150+ actual members)

[sheryden.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'll keep my eyes on the comm. I missed signups last year, so I really want to be involved this year.
