What is a Big Bang?Well, you sign up and challenge yourself to write a story of a minimum word length in four months! ooo. And then you get paired with an artist who will make art for your story!

Sign Up?
Author signups for Round Three are HERE. Artist signups for Round Three are HERE. Go check them out.

For this round, if I wanted to write a sort of... series of fics in different fandoms, with the same main theme, could I sign up for multiple tiny bangs? Like sign up for five or six tiny bangs?

Just batting around ideas and I know I probably can't manage a big bang or big whammy. I could probably do a mini, but I think writing multiple tiny bangs could be feasible.

Thanks!

Hadn't really thought about it before, but I don't see why not. It sounds like a great idea actually. A great way to explore a bunch of different characters. Since you've asked this, I've noticed a few people sign up with similar intentions which is awesome - like a vignette series. Love it. Go for it. (I tots might do this myself lol)

Hello,

I have one question. :o)

Last year I signed up as author but never finished my story. (I also never posted it online.) Am I allowed to finish this story for this Round now? Or should I come up with another idea?

I'm also interested in the answer to scoobydumblonde because last year I planned more than one chapter. :o)

[I deleted the question in the other entry. I think it belongs to this thread. Sorry about that.]

Ah, sure. Why not! I'll take it on good faith that you'll add enough new words to fulfill the word count for the challenge.

it was a yes to scooby's question btw

(either thread was fine :) )

I'm thinking about signing up with Veronica Mars. Can I write a romance between Veronica and Logan, or does it have to be a gen-fic just about Veronica?

raktajinos January 9 2016, 01:03:10 UTC

You may totally do that (and as a hard LoVe-r, I encourage it lol). Most of our stories end up having some form of romance in them. The only caveat would be that your story should focus more on Veronica's perspective and/or feelings, experience, etc than Logan's

slashluv18 January 9 2016, 01:17:08 UTC

That's fine. I usually write from Veronica's perspective anyways. I'm relatively new to the fandom (discovered it about 6 months ago), so I'm in the stage of writing as many VM stories as I can, and they're all LoVe.

raktajinos January 9 2016, 01:50:01 UTC

Awesome. Well welcome to the fandom! I'm a bit of a shipping whore for VM - I mean obviously LoVe is the BEST, but I pretty much ship Veronica with everyone hahah (sheriff lamb being my most shameful ship )

...so, I'm thinking of signing up to give me the oomph to finish a project I've been working on, but Ch1 was published some time back as a stand-alone story. (It's not technically a WIP, it really was meant to be a stand-alone story, and was published as such.) Is the project as a whole still within bounds, even though Ch1 has seen light of day already? I'd only count post-Ch1 words to the Big Bang total.

raktajinos January 9 2016, 01:13:52 UTC

Sure! That would be fine, as long as you write enough new words to fulfil the word count for the challenge.

and welcome! :)

I have an odd fandom based question. I hope it doesn't seem like I'm nitpicking.

Basically, I'm in a RPF fandom called Achievement Hunter, in which they do video game commentary. Most of the mains are guys. One of the mains, Jack, plays a female in Grand Theft Auto. It's his character, he's played only her since 2013. GTA 'verse is a huge AU in the fandom, I just checked one of the relevent tags and it's 954 of 10k, so about ten percent of fics, at least. If I write a GTA AU, with the standard female Jack, from her pov, is that heroine enough?

raktajinos January 17 2016, 21:17:29 UTC

So I've been mulling this question over for a few days, trying to come to a decision - I've been going back and forth on it tbh.

I've decided that yes, it would be applicable. Im not really sure how the GTA fandom works, but it sounds like "Jack" is a female character created by a member of the fandom and you want to explore her character more. So yes, that would be fine.
