Lol. I think it's a common ailment. Lord knows my original characters do the same damn thing. XD

There is somewhat, but the mods will generally let you know *if you ask* when they'll be posting the summaries. For SPN I got online about an hour after the lists had been posted (SPN had alot so they split into 4 sections: Slash, Gen/Het, RPS 1, RPS 2) and I already knew I wanted Slash so I read through the summaries of that that, and claimed the two that grabbed me the most. I got them both *then had to do the switch thingy* so I was lucky there. But yeah, the earlier the better.

I've already got long SPN fics though, and who knows if I'll get another good idea... such is life.

Well, SPN BigBang is actually pretty much over. Posting is going on now and is actually ongoing throuh August. O.O There were alot of fics. By the time the next one starts up we'll be halfway through season 5 so anything could happen. ^_^

Do authors and artists usually plan to work together beforehand?

Ah, it's more by chance? At least it was in my case. >.<;; But sometimes people will do a sequel to a previous BB as this year's BB and they talk with their artists from previous. The same rules about posting the fic apply but it's not under pain of death don't tell. Although most people don't say much since it still is first come, first serve and you can't be 100% certain you'll be able to snag the prompt first.

Mmmmm, I suppose? I think as an author you half the more complicated side of it. Thank goodness I'm an artist! ::laughs:: And we do get awesome epic fic. And there are BBs for Everything! There are at least TWO for SPN alone. *one is just for crossovers*

And HP gets alot! Because they have BBs for specific characters, and specific pairings.

But I think my favorite thing was meeting people. I became good friends with the other artist I worked with and the author. :D And my other author was a really sweet girl from New Zealand.

^_^ I'm just thrilled at how many people have signed up to write and do art! Although I wonder how many will meet deadline and how many will drop/switch to art.

No Problem!! ♥ I was happy to offer assistanc. I can't wait to see your BB either! ::laughs:: But for now I have Apogee so I'm all good. <333

And I'm tired of switching icons so I'm just going to stick with my default from here on out. >.<;;;

I actually think characters just do whatever they please and sort of mock the authors when they complain about it. *headdesk*

I'm in the middle of a few SPN fics. Actually, I'm in the middle of a LOT of half-finished fics. Such is my life. But I would like to try and do other Big Bangs, if this one turns out cool for me. :D

You know, I kind of really like the vast majority of fanart I see, so I can't imagine how anyone would really complain about not getting a specific artist or whatever. It all seems like a really well-organized system to me.

I must say all this BB talk is getting me very excited about it. I'll have to work more on that fic in-between bouts of Apogee! And I am quite worried that people will be disappointed with my BB since it's not going to be K/S. :P

LOL, I need to switch my default icon. Misha is awesome and all, but I need a new one. *headdesk*

[votaku]

I can't imagine how anyone would really complain about not getting a specific artist

And yet it happens. >.< I don't think we'll have too big a problem with it at all, especially for the STXI BB since it's going to the first BB for this fandom. :)

Yay! Be excited~ I think it'll be fine if it's not k/s. I mean, well...to be honest, my otp isn't K/S at all. Its Mc/K, although my OT3 is S/K/U. But yeah...you're a kickass writer and I'd read you purely gen or whatever you want to do. :D

::laughs:: I've actually kept my default the same since I've gotten this account used to be another another username. I think it's because it the first default icon i've used that's a stock icon.

[kowaiyoukai]

Yeah, it's very exciting to have a new BB to take part in. But anyone who complains about getting fanart for their fic is basically an asshet, IMHO. I can't imagine complaining about that, srsly. Even if you HATE the art, like absolutely LOATHE it (and I really can't imagine that EITHER but just for the sake of argument), it's still incredibly flattering and amazing to have people care that much about a fic you're putting all of your time and energy into creating. If that makes sense. *headdesk*

LOL, Kirk/McCoy is a really great pairing too! I'm having trouble with it in Apogee actually, b/c McCoy and Kirk are so close but it's a different kind of close than Kirk and Spock are, and showing that difference is just difficult at times--especially when you've got a slashy mindset! :P

Aww, you're too nice. You wouldn't read WHATEVER I would write. If I went insane and wrote a fic where Nero falls in love with Sarek, you wouldn't want to read that... right? I mean, there's gotta be SOME limits, srsly. XP

Well, that's b/c your default icon is AMAZINGLY KICKASS. But I've got a good one I made that I'll put up soon. \o/

[votaku]

If that makes sense.

It does, and yes...I don't reall understand it either. Especially when the mod agrees to allow both artists to work on it and they get pissy cause they only want the one person. O.O

I think you're doing their Epic Friendship really well. :)

If I went insane and wrote a fic where Nero falls in love with Sarek, you wouldn't want to read that... right?

.....Ummmm, well...actually. There's some interesting ways to do that. I mean, the angst factor there~ Maybe Amanda dies and Nero becomes like the stepfather of Spock and while he loves Sarek he still hates and wants revenge upon Spock. And he could do so much psychological damage to wee!Spock 0.o ...Quit giving me ideas >.<;;

Sorry, that does not appear to be one of my limits. ^_^;;

♥ Thank you~!

LOL, the more you say about some of these writers the more I think they need to pull their heads out of their asses and STFU. *shakes head*

Jim and Bones' epic friendship is very epic, and will actually be a part of my BB prequel YAYAZ!! \o/

LOL, you're terrible, really. ♥ ♥ ♥
