Official Signups closed for Authors. You may still participate in the big bang if you are an author who could not meet the deadline or reach the 10,000 word minumim count; your piece will not be eligible for accompanying artwork, though.
Nov. 5, 2010- Artist Signups (Scene/Pairing choosing) Close.
Mods will start pairing up Artsits with Authors based on Artists preference/availability, this will take place over 3-5 days. You may still participate in the big bang if you are an artist who did not make the official deadline. Pinch Hitters will more than likely be needed. Any artwork will, of course, be accepted; your piece will not be eligible for accompanying fanfiction, though.
Dec. 17, 2010- Finished Works (Fanfiction/FanArt) are Due.
Dec. 31, 2010- We Go Live with completed Fanfiction with inserted Fan Art!! Happy Birthday Lord Voldemort!! Don't Crucio Us!!
Dec. 31, 2010- Participation banners are posted.
Jan. 24, 2011- Exclusivity Ends.
You are now allowed to post your fanfiction and fanart wherever you may please.
Extensions will be granted with the Mods Discretion. Remember fellow Death Eaters we are allowing you almost three months to complete a 'rough draft' of 10,000 words. That is Half the amount of words that most Big Bangs require. If you request an extension to submit a rough draft, your story will not be considered for accompanying fanart. Extensions for 'finished works' will only be granted for a few days max. The Mods need time to go through each piece of work to be able to reveal them all on the same date. (Dec. 31st)
If you cannot make the 'rough draft' due date, you are still more than welcomed to submit your finished fanfiction, without the fanart.
After the Official Big Bang we will be hosting a ficlet/fanart fest starting in January!
