The sign ups won't start until May, and that will be for the normal big bang - the reverse big bang will likely be the one running later in the year

As far as the time allowed - all of the lengths listed above don't include the editing time (which is normally a month) it's just the time to write the rough draft (plus sign ups which is anything from 2 weeks-1 month) - I get that it isn't exactly clear in the above - it's mostly just getting an idea of what people would prefer

I know what you mean big bangs wise (I write and do art - I currently have four writing, six art, plus running this.....so I feel your pain/I am a bit crazy ;))
