SIGN UP for the Matchmaker Challenge HERE!
Are you looking for a different kind of art challenge? Sign up with a date in July 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 serve! Sign ups are open all of July 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)
!!!ETA: from July 19th sign ups have moved to THIS post!!!
[Maximum amount of threesomes is reached! Click link above for new date options!!]You can choose between a two or a three week option, each with its own perks: Click link above for new date options!!
Option A: a SPEED date
1. Sign up with SPEED DATE
2. ADD your name + email + a start date;
3. Receive 3 random summaries* on that date;
4. Pick one of those fics (only one!) within a day;
5. Contact the author;
6. Make art within THREE weeks!
*These fics may be from a different corner
of fandom than you usually play in and could
feature characters you're not familiar with, so you
get an extra week for research.
Option B: a BLIND date
1. Sign up with BLIND DATE
2. ADD your name + email + a start date;
3. Include your squicks and prefered characters*
4. Receive a fitting surprise summary on that date;
5. Contact the author;
6. Make art within TWO weeks!
*The shorter your wishlist, 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 your own journal.
To recap: a Speed Date gives you more time, but could be a step out of your comfortzone;
a Blind Date offers a better match but you'll have to art faster.
Remember: 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.
Busy? Plan ahead! If you are eager to go, you could sign up for a blind date with today as your start date, then you will have to post within two weeks. But suppose you only have time in August, simply sign up for the end of July. 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/
