Rules & Schedule
Rules
Authors
Minimum Word Count 10,000
Posting You will be posting to your journal when its posting time, nothing before. You are allowed to share your fic with your beta and some friends for in put but please don't post it publicly before posting here. Once you post it here you can cross post wherever you want.
Works-In-Progress Accepted, as long 5,000 new words are added to make a complete fic, and the finished product isn't shown to anyone else (check for exceptions above) before posting.
Co-Writers Accepted just make sure to include both users information when signing up. Also, word minimum increases to 15,000.
Types All types of fics are excepted (gen, het, slash, crossovers) as well as all pairings. The only thing not accepted is RPF, if you want to write RPF there is the rpf_big_bang.
Checkpoints Are not manadatory, they just give us any idea of where you are and let's you rant a little. If you miss one or all of the checkpoints nothing will happen.
Art Artists will choose which fics they do art for, you won't get any say in what artist you get and we ask that you don't dictate the type of art you want for your story. It's up to the artist what they want to make you since they are an important part of this challenge as well.
Artists
Minimum Offerings
At least two separate pieces of art.
Can either be a story banner and an icon, or a batch of icons or a manipulation. Or even a vid and one icon.
Types All forms of graphics are accepted from Photoshop to drawings. (Different types are Story Banner, Story Poster, Icons, Video Trailer, Manipulation, Wallpaper, etc)
Authors You will be put in contact with your author but the art you end up doing is up to you, still take the chance to get to know your author and let their excitement motivate you.
Drop Out If you have claimed a fic and will not be able to complete the art for it let the mods know RIGHT AWAY. We will then try to find a pinch hitter for the art, so the sooner you let us know the sooner we can find one.
Pinch Hit Pinch hitter artists step in to do the art for a story that another artist has abandoned, sometimes they only have days to work and are amazing.
