Triad Verse Big Bang - Guidelines

About The Triad Verse Big Bang

The Triad Verse Big Bang is a writing challenge focusing on Triad Verse AUs of any fandom. Authors will complete stories of 10,000 words or more over the course of three months, and these stories are paired with artwork in a variety of media created by artists who claim the stories based on summaries.

Final stories will be posted over the course of one to two weeks (depending on the number of works). At the end of the bang, all story links will be compiled into a masterpost. At that point, authors and artists will be free to share their works elsewhere.



Guidelines

• Stories must be submitted by October 8, 2014 in order to be included in the Triad Verse Big Bang posting schedule. If you believe you cannot meet the deadline, please contact the mods as early as possible.
• All Triad Verse Big Bang authors must have a Livejournal account and an AO3 account for ease of posting and editing. If you do not currently have an AO3 account, the GleekMods can provide you with a code. Artists are not required to have an AO3 or LJ account.
• The submitted version of your story should be betaread, polished, and include the artwork from your artist. Graphics and traditional/digital artwork should be embedded in the story; fanmixes can be linked in the header or in the notes (on AO3).
• The Triad Verse setting must be integral to your story. Any pairings or poly relationships, as well as general fics which don't focus on a romantic relationship are allowed. However, it must be clear that these relationships take place in the context of Triad Verse. We expect many of the stories to focus on triad/OT3 relationships, but this is not a requirement.
• This bang is open to canon, alternate universe, alternate timeline, and crossover stories, as long as these stories also contain the main tenets of Triad verse. Sequels to previous stories are welcome as long as the sequel can be read as a standalone story and otherwise adheres to the Triad Verse Big Bang guidelines. RPF (fic involving the actors portraying the characters) is not allowed in this bang.
• All stories must be betaread. If you do not have a beta, you can request help from one at the Beta Request Post.
• Authors and artists are responsible for all contact between them during the course of the Triad Verse Big Bang. Artists are responsible for getting their completed art to their author. Authors are responsible for providing story drafts to their artist and integrating any final artworks into their story before posting. If you have difficulty reaching your artist or author, please contact a mod.
• Submitting your summary to the artist claim is a commitment to finish your story. We understand that circumstances arise that can interfere with your ability to finish your story; if this happens, please contact us right away. Dropping from the Triad Verse Big Bang after artist claims with no prior contact with the mods may result in ineligibility to participate in future Triad Verse Big Bangs.
• While changes can sometimes happen to a story during the editing process, remember that your artist is creating artwork based on the version of the draft s/he received. Out of courtesy to your artist, please try to communicate any major changes to the storyline as quickly as possible.
• Stories and art should not be posted elsewhere until the bang is over. You can link to your triadversebang post to your story before that time, but please do not crosspost your story to other communities or sites before the end of the bang.
• For more information about the format, requirements, and schedule of this bang, please refer to the FAQ or contact a mod with any additional questions.
