Schedule for Round 2
Howdy, folks!
It's almost time for round 2 of the Multifandom Extreme Big Bang! Are you excited? I know I am! In this challenge, participants from all fandoms sign up for the task of writing 100,000 words over the course of ten months. Artists then get a chance to claim a work and create art for it, or they can set up collaboration with an author at the start of the challenge. Artist minimums will be announced with the new Rules & FAQs post on or before 14 September.
Your mods for this challenge are hoktauri, gwyneth_valora, and wyndewalker.

Happy brainstorming, and we'll see you one week!
