The Fic Selection Post for Artists!
Hello artists and welcome to round four of White Collar Big Bang! It's time for you to select the fic you would like to create art for.
A few notes before we start:
1. This is first come, first serve. If all fics are claimed, I'll consider opening up claims again or just putting everything in with the art selection post that is coming up on August 1st.
2. Please be kind to your mods and the author that you are paired up with.
3. You have until September 1st to create art. If at any time you need to drop out, you need to contact us at whitecollar.bb.mods@gmail.com. Or your author needs to know and then your author needs to tell us. This is just so we can get a pinch hitter in the works. You won't send any ninjas after you, because RL is a bitch and your mods know that first hand, but we need to know.
Alright, that's it. Any questions, reply here.
