Kicking off BBH 2010
Okay, so I finally put together the beginnings of another round of bigbanghood. I am going to do some cleaning of the comm before we go any further (in members and old posts from during the last round).
For now though, here’s a general opening and a place to ask any opening questions you might have.
Mission statement
To promote more Robin Hood fanfiction of considerable length and have artwork created to accompany the stories. So that Robin Hood fandom can appreciate all the talents of its members.
Length
Stories must be at least 20,000 words to qualify. Note that this is a change from last year when we used a tiered system and a higher word expectation to qualify for artwork. I wanted to see if this would work better.

FAQs and miscellaneous
Can I use a previously started work?
You can certainly continue an existing work provided that you still write the 20k words for the challenge.
How can I be a member of this community?
If you are involved with the challenge in any way (author, artist, cheerleader, beta reader) you will be okayed for membership in the community although only the mods have posting access. In addition, most comm posts will be public excepting those that involve specific conversations of stories/art being worked on, so it is not necessary to be a full member to read the fanfic posted here previously or follow how the current challenge is progressing.
Can I sign up as an author and an artist?
YES, you certainly can.
Can I do more that one story/piece of art?
Yes you most certainly can.
Can two (or more) people co-author an entry?
Yep, entries can have more than one author.
This FAQ is pretty short, I want to know___?
Then ask away, I know I haven’t addressed everything people could possibly want to know.
