How About a Reverse Bang?
banner by mamapranayama
We haven't done a reverse bang in a while and summer has officially begun, so why not now? For anyone unsure of what's going on: In a reverse bang, the artist provides the inspiration for the author's story by creating the art first (typically one banner). Once the art is posted, potential authors will get a chance to browse the art entries and claim one that tickles their muse.
The theme is 'What We Did On Our Summer Vacation'. That could mean wee!Chesters going camping, the boys getting stuck on a case down south in July (think mosquitos, chiggers, sunburn, and poison ivy), or you could even check in on other characters' summer activities. Use your imagination! The only rule is that the art/story should fit the lighthearted theme of the comm (no heavy angst). Gen, het, slash are all welcome. And, yes, you may participate as both an artist and an author.
Proposed Schedule
Art entries need to be posted by Tuesday, July 16 (there will be a separate post for this).
Author claiming will begin Thursday, July 18.
Final Posting will begin the week of Labor Day (Monday, September 2) - the unofficial end of summer in the U.S.
This will be a 'mini' bang. Authors are only required to produce a minimum of 1000 words. Artists are only required to create one banner (unless they have time/wish to do more).
Any questions? Just ask.
Big thanks to mamapranayama for another great banner!
