What is Trek Reverse Bang?

Trek Reverse Bang is based on startrekbigbang, except here the art comes first. Artists create their art, send in their drafts and authors choose the pieces in a blind claims post. Then the authors write a minimum of 6K words based on the artwork and starting from the 12th of May, the fandom gets a whole bunch of delightful presents.

1. For the claims part of the process, we want only one piece per story, so if someone has, say, 2 or 3 pieces already made for the same story, we'll ask them to make a collage of the pieces so that ultimately it's just one actual image we use for the authors to claim. We don't want to confuse the authors with multiple pieces when it's meant to be for a single story, and this is the best way to have the artist present all the pieces and the author to have a single number to choose when claiming. Does that make sense?

Heh, fortunately or unfortunately, art styles are generally hard to disguise especially if the artist is prolific, and if an author recognizes it, well, that's just how it is. We won't be asking people to stay away from the artists they recognize, first claim first served after all. We'll just be making sure on our end that we don't have any names attached to any of the artwork during claims. After that, if someone chooses an artist they recognize, it's really not a big deal. I daresay some artists figure out who the authors are from pairing/plot choices in bigbang claims too :)

No problem at all, feel free to make us clarify anything else you might want to know.
