FAQ Normal Big Bang 2011

[weaselett.livejournal.com]

What is a Big Bang?
Big Bangs are challenges which last a few months, where you sign up to write a story of a specific length, or to create art, by a certain deadline.
When taking part in 'normal' big bangs, were the initial sign ups are for the writers, each writer receives a piece of art from an artist to compliment their final story.
'Reverse' big bangs are challenges were the art is made first, and the artists receiving a complimenting fic in return - this will be running later this year.

Basically, it's all about challenging yourself to create something, something bigger or longer than you would normally, as part of a group of people doing the same.

If you have any questions, whether it be something that isn't covered by this FAQ, something you want clarified, or just something you want to know, feel free to comment on this post, email us, or use the page-a-mod post (comments on that post are screened). We'll get back to you as quickly as possible.

Beta post 2011

[weaselett.livejournal.com]

There are two comment threads to this post. One is for offering up your skills as a beta, the other is for asking for a beta.

The opening comments of each thread show you the basic format to use when requesting or offering.

If you are willing to beta this year, please comment in the appropriate thread (and if you need one, check the offering thread to see if there is anyone who has already said they will beta before posting a request).

Thanks :)
