Posting Guidelines for your Big Bang
There is only couple of days before the first story will be posted! I'm excited, and hope you are, too.
The first thing you need to do to prepare for posting is talk to your partner. You need to work out how and when and where you want to post, so the art and story can go up as close together as possible. Make a plan!
Perhaps a few of you are wondering how you go about posting your fabulous stories and beautiful art. Well, keep reading and you will learn. *g*
Authors, however you want to post your fic on your assigned day is fine, it can be on your LJ, DW, AO3, or a personal website. It is required that you post the full, completed fic on your day though. If you need to break it into parts/chapters, that's fine, as long as all parts go up on your assigned day.
Artists! However you guys work out having the art posted is fine. It can all be included in the fic itself, it can be attached to the fic post, it can be a separate post on your own LJ, site, etc linked in the header, whatever works for you guys and your art and story is fine, as long as the art is posted the same day as the fic. That's very important, so please make sure you guys have timing and schedules worked out ahead of time.
After you post to your LJ, site, etc., authors should come back here and post to the community with this template:
Fic title:
Author name:
Artist name:
Beta:
Genre: (rps, het, gen, etc.)
Pairing and/or characters:
Rating:
Word count:
Warnings: (delete if not applicable)
Summary:
Link to fic:
Link to art:
PLEASE USE THE ABOVE TEMPLATE WHEN YOU POST TO THIS COMMUNITY. You can use whatever template you like in your own journal or to crosspost elsewhere, but please use this template here. And please, please don’t force your own formatting/text/etc. Just copy and paste the header information above.
You MUST list both the artist and the author names and you MUST link to both the fic and the art when you post to this community. Please email twinsarein@gmail.com if you don't understand something above or have questions.
Feel free to crosspost anywhere you like after you make your master post on this comm. I'd also encourage anyone with an AO3 account, to add their story/art to the SVBB12 (Smallville Big Bang 2012) collection I've just set up.
