Writer's Sign-up Post
Welcome to this first round of au_bigbang! I'm Ragna (Afteriwake), and I'm in charge of writer sign-ups. To participate as a writer, please copy the below form into a comment and fill it out. Please, as a favor to me, put your username in the subject line so I know it's for this community and I can read these e-mails first. My own submission is the first in the comments, to show how it should look.
1. Name/LJ username:
2. Email Address:
3. Fandom:
4. Extras:
5. Co-Author (if applicable):
6. Word Count (if using a WIP):
Briefly (in one or two sentences) explain why your idea/story is an "Alternate Universe" portrayal. (see FAQ for definition)
FAQ can be found here.
Remember, sign-ups continue until the first writer check-in (February 2nd), so if you're not sure at this very moment, you have a little time to join in.
As for posting to the community, we want to make sure you all know how it's going to work from the very beginning. When your posting date comes around, please post your entire fic/art to the community queue. If your fic is longer than the LJ character limit for a single post (and it probably will be), go ahead and break it into chapters or part, but post all of them to the community.
ETA 1: We've been getting a lot of confusion about the Extras question. It's there for you to tell us anything we should know off the bat about your AU, like whether there will be slash/incest/MPREG/etc., NC-17 ratings, or if you're using elements of another fandom that isn't your main one for the AU. If you feel there's nothing else to tell us, just put "None" as an answer.
ETA 2: After only a few days of sign-ups, I want to reiterate two things:
1 - Please read the FAQ about WIPs. We will not accept anything over 3K, not even if you're very close to that. It's not fair to those we've told no to already.
2 - Put your username in the comment subject. When you don't, I get one very long e-mail that I have to sort through, and it takes longer to approve new submissions.
