Round Two Announcement
Hi all,
We are back for Round Two!
If you don't remember... How it works:
-- Writers will work on a 10,000-word (no maximum) work (het, gen, and/or (fem)slash) featuring Glee and any other fandom.
-- Artists, vidders and/or mixers claim a work by summary and create a companion work to accompany the fic.
Round Two schedule
February 1 - February 29: Writer sign-up is open
March 1 - March 31: Artist/vidder/mixer is open
May 1: Check-in to see how it's going
June 1: Rough drafts & fic summaries due
June 7-14: Fic summaries posted and artists/vidders/mixers can claim a work to create a companion fic
July 1: Final fic drafts due
July 15: Art/videos/mixes due
As Soon As Possible: Posting begins!
Specific rules under the cuts...
Writers: In this specific Big Bang challenge, there is a minimum wordcount requirement, for writers, of 10,000 words (no maximum). Fics can be gen, het, or (fem)slash, and may be crossed over with any fandom, RPF included. (*Note: 'RPF included' refers to non-Glee RPF. So for example, a fic where Santana Lopez is a Disney Channel star in hit show Wizards of Waverly Place is okay; a fic where Naya Rivera is a Disney Channel star is not.) You may co-write if you like. You may write more than one fic if you like.
Your rough draft, due on June 1, does not have to be polished or beta read in any way; it just has to meet minimum wordcount at that point in time. When you send in your draft, you will also send in a summary of 1-2 paragraphs that will be posted anonymously by mods so that artists can claim your work. Once you send in your final draft, due July 1, you will be assigned a posting date. Closer to that time, posting guidelines will be published.
Artists: Artists, in this Big Bang, refers to mixers, vidders, and any other kind of traditional art medium (drawing, painting, manips, you name it!). Artists may claim just one fic at a time, but once one submission is done, are free to claim another.
If you are a mixer: your fanmix for the fic you choose should have at least 10 songs, though no more than would fit on a CD. You may include album art if you like. Host songs, either individually or in .zip format, either on a personal server or on mediafire or megaupload (other sites expire quickly).
If you are a vidder: videos (or trailers) should be between two and five minutes long - think the length of a song. Either host privately or on youtube.
If you do not fall under these two categories: Drawing, sketching, painting, manips - all of these are great! Create at least one work of art for the fic, and include appropriate ratings. You will need to find a host yourself - any image hosting site will do, but make sure that, if the artwork is NSFW, you do not host it on a site that deletes NSFW images.
All: You may choose to be both a writer and an artist; however, you may not create art for your own fic.
More than one artist may claim the same fic, but ONLY IF all fics have been claimed once already.
If, for some reason, you cannot complete your submission - that's totally fine, just let us know as soon as possible (especially if you are an artist) so that we can adjust our records accordingly/find a pinch-hitter if you are an artist.

Have fun and please spread the word!
