Rules & How this all works

Jan 06, 2011 10:35

Generally: This is a reverse of the usual Big Bang challenge - each artist creates at least one piece of art, which is then posted anonymously and claimed by an author. Authors are then expected to write a short fic (minimum of 3,000 words) based on the art they chose.

Overview: Artist and Author sign-ups open Monday, January 7th. Artists must ( Read more... )

Most awesomest idea ever!

Glad you like it! Credit goes to the people over at trekreversebang who first pioneered it!

this is such a cool idea!

It's great, isn't it? Credit goes to the people over at trekreversebang who first pioneered it!

i am the "what about timezones?" person no matter what fandom, it seems... renne January 10 2011, 06:39:05 UTC

Hay. Hay hay haaaaay. Say I wanted to play... with the art claims, I know it's first come, first served, but what time of the day is this kind of thing going to be opened? Because it would be kind of rough to expect people to, say, get up in the middle of the night to make a claim or else when they get up in the morning/home from work it's a case of "whatever is left", you know?

We're going to have a poll wherein the participants can vote on what time they'd like claims to start, but ultimately it will have to be limited to times that the mods can conceivably be awake to reply to claims (in a timely fashion).

We will try to accommodate as many people as possible, but it's impossible to make it fit perfectly into everyone's schedule, unfortunately :/

Do the two pieces of art have to relate (i.e. will they be posted together for one claim)?

bauble January 10 2011, 06:50:20 UTC

No, they will be two separate claims.

Awesomes. Thank you!
p.s. love your icon!

bauble January 10 2011, 06:54:35 UTC

Oh, thank you! I wish I could remember where I got it from--I am terrible at crediting icon makers, alas.

Having the art due two days after signups close it kind of balls for anyone who shows up late to the party. Even if WIPs are okay, that's a pretty harsh deadline and kind of unfair in a challenge that should be more about the artists. ymmv.

timbitsu January 10 2011, 18:48:59 UTC

Yeah, the deadline seems a bit tight. And I'm not sure about other artists, but I don't normally like posting WIPs.

Hopefully those who sign-up late and cannot complete a piece in time will be alright with posting a WIP, since they do have a longer stretch of time to finish after claims.

Also, we're open to doing a second round based on interest in this first go for anyone who misses out.

chibi_lurrel January 11 2011, 03:50:57 UTC

Hopefully late-comers won't mind posting WIPs, since they'll have a longer stretch to finish their piece after claims.
