Posting instructions and new LBB AO3 collection
We're almost there!! YAY!! :D
First of all: Please keep all posts locked until your posting day! Don't be too concerned with timezones...as long as it's your posting day somewhere, you're fine! Same goes for the time of day you post.There's no rule that says you have to post in the morning or anything like that, so don't stress too much! ;-)
Leading up to your assigned posting day authors and artists need to communicate to get ready. We would like both authors and artists to make a master post to their journals (one for fic and one for art) and provide each other with the links.
For authors: We want you to set up a master post on your journal people can go to be navigated to the fic (whether you decide to host in on your journal, on an archive, or somewhere else).
For artists: We want you to set up a post on your journal that you can get feedback from, as you won't be posting your work directly to this community.
Posting to your journal/site/archive:
You will be posting your fic to either your own journal or a site or archive of your choice. You will NOT be posting the fic itself to this community.
We will give you the heading information we want you to fill out for your post to the community but you are welcome to change it around or use your own heading info when posting to your own journal.
Here are the basics:
- We want you to link to this big bang and to your artist and their post.
- Don't lock your fic!
- For art post you can format the way you like just make sure to include a link to the author’s story
- If you are posting your story before your posting day please LOCK it for your eyes only and only unlock it when you're ready to post to the community (same goes for artists).
- If you are breaking your story up into parts please try and make sure each part links to the next part and the one before it. It makes things a lot easier for readers.
