Rules & Guidelines
Authors and artists will collaborate to produce works centered around Adam and another man. Authors will write 5,000-word+ fic of any genre, and artists will create art to go along with it.
For Authors:
- Your fic must be at least 5,000 words long. It must be written specifically for the Cockbert Big Bang challenge and posted nowhere else prior to the start of posting dates. In the case of WIPs, which are allowed, 5,000 words must be written for the challenge, and the same rules apply.
- You may write more than one fic, so long as each is at least 5,000 words long.
- You may co-write a fic, however, in that case, your fic must be at least 7,500 words long.
-Adam must be paired with a man. Original male characters, fictional characters, celebrities, athletes, etc are all allowed. The only exceptions to pairings are found in the following rule.
- Pairing Adam with Kris Allen or Tommy Ratliff will not be allowed for this challenge as there have already been Kradam and Lambliff Big Bangs and we'd like to use this Big Bang to encourage rare pairings. (Of course Tommy or Kris may appear in the fic as friends or other characters). The only exceptions to the pairing rule are as follows:
*If your fic has multiple pairings and one of them is A/K or A/T (i.e. love triangle - as long as Adam doesn't end up with Kris or Tommy in the end please.)
*If your fic mentions a previous relationship between these pairings
*If your fic features a threesome/moresome and these guys are involved
- Your fic must be betaed. There will be beta sign-ups, so in the event that you have difficulty finding one, you can choose from there.
- Your fic must have warnings, if applicable.
- Once sign-ups have started, there will be one author check-in which is not mandatory, but recommended.
- There will be a rough-copy deadline which is mandatory.
- All work should be submitted to cockbert@gmail.com.
- Specifics will be addressed in subsequent posts.
For Artists:
- Your art may be any style of art, be it photoshop, painting, drawing, fanmixes, etc., in forms such as banners, dividers, icons, etc.
- You must submit at least one piece of artwork for the fic you claim.
- After claiming your fic, you must be in communication with your author.
- Your artwork must be completed by the author's posting date.
- There will be a limit of one artist per story, unless we have a surplus of artists.
