SIGN UP for the MatchMaker Challenge March 2017 NOW!
Calling all artists who are ready to stretch their artmuscles with a different kind of challenge! Sign up with a date in March you can start on and you will be assigned a mystery match: a short SPN or RPF fic (<5000 words) to create artwork for! You can make whatever you want: a story-banner, a scene illustration, an artist's impression; any visual your muse comes up with, in any artmedium.
In the spirit of quicky_bang the Matchmaker Challenge has a short turn-around to avoid procrastination;) There is a limited supply of stories, so first-come, first-served! Sign ups are open all of March or until all the stories have found a match, whichever comes first. (You won't receive an assignment until your start date; I will set aside stories in order of sign ups)
The time limit is not to force you to rush, but to poke you into action and avoid brooding too long on an idea. You can share your sketches, that's cool too! The purpose of this challenge is to stimulate your creativity.
You can choose between a one, a two or a three week option...
Make a choice!

*All options depend on availability, fic supply is limited; when I don't have enough stories left to offer a speed date, you'll get a double date instead. If I can't offer a blind date that's fitting to your preferences, you reserve the right to decline, but I will strongly encourage you to accept the challenge;)
You are allowed to add a wishlist, but the less specific your preferences, the better your chances!
For example: Sam & Dean, no bloodplay ~OR~ Misha/Jensen, no porn ~OR~ no preference, but no kidfic please
Done? Post in the quicky_bang community with a banner or teaser image and a link to the art in your own journal.
Busy right now? Plan ahead! If you are eager to go, you could sign up with today as your start date. But suppose you only have time in April, simply sign up for the end of March. You will receive your match on the date you mention, so that's when you can start arting:) Your timeframe will be stated in your mail.
Questions? ASK! Let's art \o/
