Frequently Asked Questions

What is a big bang?There are many different types of big bangs, all varying slightly, but generally a big bang challenge is where over a period of 3-4 months (some are longer) authors write a complete story. Artists then claim stories they want to work with to make collaborative art, and both pieces are posted together ( Read more... )

But what if during this process I am moving away and starting a new life at college and wonder if I'm too busy.

Then I will soothe your fears with my fear-soothing powers and you will make something awesome and feel great about it and then we'll have ice cream. Look into the puppy's eyes. The puppy knows.

I had signed up before and I am again. I don't know how I am going to do with the time...since I am writing three other things at the same time right now, but I am gonna give it a shot. I really want to do this, so we'll see. *crosses fingers*

Can I do that? LOL

Of couuuurse! Giving it a good old fashioned college try is certainly allowed. There is no penalty for not finishing, so long as you communicate with the mods :D

deans_fetish July 26 2012, 06:50:22 UTC

Wonderful! Oh and do you have banners to advertise yet? I wanted to post one at my LJ...sadly to remind myself. LOL *ducks*

unavoidedcrisis July 26 2012, 15:47:20 UTC

Once the sign ups go up, we'll have some sweet banners. I feel like putting banners out now would be teasing!

..... Ooooh, maybe I will post them sooner ;)

Is this BB starting earlier this year or have you shortened the writing period? I know that the posting for the last round was in Jan/Feb.

Or am I just a little cray-cray?

unavoidedcrisis July 26 2012, 15:54:14 UTC

Nope, we're a smidge earlier this round.

We do hope you'll join us again this time :D

elrhiarhodan July 26 2012, 16:04:08 UTC

Yes, I am hoping to!

Question - I have a WIP that I sort of stopped working on, it's already 14k, it's never been published, and it's about how three people get into and negotiate a polyamorous relationship. Plus danger, drama and angst.

Can I use this, or do I have to start from scratch? (There are bingos that forbid participants from using a WIP).

unavoidedcrisis July 26 2012, 17:29:35 UTC

I will edit the FAQ to reflect our stance on this a little better!

But the gist of it is, yes, as long as it has not been previously published online/where have you, we'll welcome WIPs if they meet the word count and have a minimum of 10k worth of "new" words added to them :)

cherie_morte July 27 2012, 02:14:14 UTC

YEAH YOU DID.

unavoidedcrisis July 27 2012, 18:43:45 UTC

You know that's right.
