Prospective participants list for Bang*Bang no.52
This is a signup for the December 22 issue; the text deadline for the issue is Tuesday, December 16, and the art deadline is Saturday, December 20. Please comment here if you plan to submit a story or artwork for this issue. Artists should specify whether you're submitting a standalone piece, offering to illustrate a story, or doing both. Artists offering to illustrate should provide either links to or thumbnails of past works as examples of style; writers wishing to collaborate with artists (or artists wishing to collaborate with writers) should respond directly to comments in this post. As always, you don't have to sign up to participate, and you're not creating an unbreakable contract by signing up, but it's always a good idea! Signups for the beta reader pool will be in an upcoming post.
December, as tradition would have it, is the time of the THEME-FREE ISSUE: Choose your own adventure!
Special note on the December word count: Since it's worked so well in this past, this year we're going for another big bang! The minimum word count remains the same as it's ever been -- 1500 words -- but the upper bound is gone! Keep in mind, though, that this means that any text submission better have been edited thoroughly before it gets to me. Obviously the thirty-minute editing rule doesn't really work for something that takes me longer than thirty minutes to read, but that means if the errors slow me down even a little bit during my pre-publication read-through, the story's going to get bounced back for the author to fix.
Consider adding yourself as a member of the bb_shousetsu community if you're writing or illustrating. For open discussion on any SSBB-related topic, start a thread at bangbangwhimper.
