Artist Sign-ups!
Artist Sign-ups Now Open!
1. You will be responsible for creating at least one piece of art, based on the artist’s story. You may make more than one if you so desire.
2. We mostly expect traditional art: drawings, paintings, photography and photomanips. Photographs of other sorts of art, such as sculpture, collages, needlework, or artifacts would also be acceptable. You may create a banner for the story, or a “cover” if you wish. We will also welcome fanvids if any are so inclined, though those must be based on the story in question.
If you would like to make a very non-traditional sort of art, please let us know what it is, and we will see if we can accommodate you.
3. Art must be within the same rating guidelines as the stories. It has to be family friendly and work-safe. Imagine that your young child or your parents or your boss can see that art on the monitor over your shoulder, and plan your art around that restriction.
Absolutely NO nudity or children in sexual situations!
4. There will be two options for posting. In the first, you may upload your own art to a hosting site (e.g. Photobucket, Flickr, etc. ) and then send the author the code to embed within the story post. (In the event that any are inclined to make vids, we encourage the use of this first option.)
The second option is to send the art to the mods, and we will upload it to a hosting site and send the code to the author.
5. Artists will need to join the lotrgficbigbang community, in order to keep up with any announcements or changes in schedule, and to have posting access when the stories are due.
6. There are a few other requirements. Please see the FAQs here.
7. Any exceptions will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
