Writers FAQ - Reverse Big Bang 2011/12
Nov. 19th, 2011 07:20 pmweaselett.livejournal.comWhat is a Reverse Big Bang?
Where, normally, the authors would sign up first and produce a draft, which an artist would then claim the draft and make art for it. For a reverse big bang, the artist make art, which is then claimed by an author, who uses the art as the prompt for their story.
So basically, a Reverse Big Bang is exactly what it says on the tin - a reverse of a big bang ;)

The end is near
Oct. 31st, 2011 09:11 pmweaselett.livejournal.comSorry for the rather long radio silence.
Tomorrow the masterpost for the story and art from this round will be going live, followed by the opening of the artist sign ups for the reverse big bang.
All of your entries will be tagged before the post goes live, as all the housekeeping gets done.
I hope you've all enjoyed this year's big bang - you have all produced some awesome fic and some beautiful art, that I look forward to reading through in the future (when I have a little more time ;)) - so well done everyone.
If you have any comments; things you think could have been done better, things you loved, leave them here. Anything you have to say will help with the running of the big bang in the future.
Lastly, thanks so much for your patience, and for being such amazingly talented people.

Posting Guidelines
Oct. 7th, 2011 12:18 amweaselett.livejournal.comSorry these are a little late - I may be slightly of the brain dead this week *face palm*
I come with the instructions of how to post - just in time for the first one of you :) - and it's a much simplier post than last year's ;)
Firstly, Authors Posting Guidelines
Authors, when posting your fics (aka when posting your 'masterpost' to the comm with thei links to your fic) your subject line should read as follows:
Title of story: Author/s: Genre+Pairings: Rating
And you should use the following header:
Extra notes: if it has multiple parts, much &hearts if you link to the parts separately in the masterpost and link the parts together (so a link to part two at the end of part one etc) - I know a lot of people do that anyway, but not everyone does and it's one of those things that makes it much easier to read a fic.
Artists making art for the big bang fics
There's no posting guidelines for you :p - your art will be linked to by your authors, but where possible please provide a short header on your art post (basic: made for thebigbangjob, for this fic by this author, the fic can be found here - include any warnings and a rating as necessary.)
Or you can use the text below, deleting anything that you don't want to include:
-
As ever any questionspoke us with a stick feel free to comment here or PM me, or use the poke a mod post.
Good luck everyone, can't wait to read all the amazing stories, and see the stunning art ;)

There are three extra days - and if necessary up to two writers can pick each day (to allow for anyone who really can't do any others dates etc). Comment with your preferred date. It is first come, firststolen served.
Please discuss with your artists and see which date works for you all.
I'll note beside each date as they are claimed.

Deadline reminder
Sep. 24th, 2011 05:13 pmweaselett.livejournal.comWriters
Your final drafts are due tomorrow - there is a little time between tomorrow and the posting period, so you'll have time to do any extra touches that need done.
Basically, this final draft deadline is our way of making sure that you all have something over the required word count and that will be ready to post.
All you need to do is send the final draft to us, with the following as a subject line:
author - title - final draft
In the body of the email include your word count.
This your last chance to drop out, and to let us know if you have any issues. If you haven't heard from your artist/s please let us know.
Artists
Your work is due to us tomorrow - it doesn't have to be everything, but you have to have fulfilled the minimum. This is so that we know that all of the fics have art, and it gives us that week to find a new artist/make it ourselves if it's needed.
Subject line for art submissions:
artist - author, title of the work you've made it for - art
In the body of the email tell us the type of art - and any extra comments you want.
If you've had any issues, again, please let us know.
The email address is leverage.bb.mods at googlemail dot com - and you will recieve a confirmation of reciept - if you don't, that means we haven't gotten it.

Emails have sent
Sep. 1st, 2011 10:46 pmweaselett.livejournal.comAll of the emails have been sent (there were two gliches - one because I missed a letter out of an email address - one because gmail is evil) - If there are any other problems, let us know.
weaselett.livejournal.comEmails will go out tomorrow - I need to chase up some people for email addresses.
All fics were claimed, many multiple times, I just had to figure out the fairest way to match you all up, and then whether two artists per fic would work or not.
I'll include the date reminders in the emails, and anything else that needs mentioning (which I haven't thought of yet ;))
If you are one of the artists who signed up later, and aren't a member of the support comm, feel free to join it (I'll ok it whenever I'm around).
As ever, any questions, feel free to poke a mod :D

Aug. 28th, 2011 08:20 pmweaselett.livejournal.comALL ARTISTS HAVE NOW STAKED THEIR CLIAMS - EMAILS WILL GO OUT IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS PAIRING Y'ALL UP, SO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THEM ;)
It's that time. Behind the cut you will find the summaries for the ten drafts that have been submitted. Claiming is open until the 4th September, but if all of the stories have been claimed before that, we'll close the post sooner and you'll get your assignments sooner as well.
In a comment please list your 3 choices, and we will assign you one of them. Also, please let us know if you are willing to do art for more than one story.
While there are ten artists signed up, andten eleven (gmail ate one) stories to claim, no one is going to complain about having two artists to work with (authors - if this happens, every story will have two artists, even if it's just me doing extra art for some of you ;))

2. In a new email, do the following:
- To: leverage.bb.mods@googlemail.com
- Subject line of the email must be: Rough draft - [author name]
- Attach the document
3. The body of the email must contain the following:
Author/s
Summary (this is the summary that will be used for artist claiming, so make sure you're happy with it)
Warnings
Word Count
Pairings and Genre - if your fic is a crossover/fusion, note with what (i.e The Hunger Games/Tangled/Barney)
4. Remember, your rough draft must be at least 12,000 words (plus an outline for what remains to be written) - the final draft has to be at least 15,000 words.
All rough drafts must make it into the moddly inbox by the end of the 21st August. If you need a little more time, or think you might not quite get it in by then, drop us a comment on here (comments to this post are screened).
