SIGN UP for the MatchMaker Challenge NOW!
Calling all artists who are ready to stretch their artmuscles with a different kind of challenge! Sign up with a date between now and March 10 and you will be assigned a mystery match: a short SPN or RPF fic (<4000 words) to create artwork for! You can make whatever you want: a story-banner, a scene illustration, an artist's impression; any visual your muse comes up with, in any artmedium.
In the spirit of quicky_bang the Matchmaker Challenge has a short turn-around to avoid procrastination;) There is a limited supply of stories, so first-come, first-served! Sign ups are open until March 10 or until all the stories have found a match, whichever comes first. (You won't receive an assignment until your start date; I will set aside stories in order of sign ups)
The time limit is not to force you to rush, but to poke you into action and avoid brooding too long on an idea. You can share your sketches, that's cool too! The purpose of this challenge is to stimulate your creativity.
You can choose between a one, a two or a three week option...
Make a choice!
Option A: a SPEED date
(up until MAR 17)
1. Comment with SPEED DATE
2. ADD your name + email + a start date;
3. Receive 3 random summaries* on that date;
4. Pick one of those fics (only one!) within a day;
5. Contact the author;
6. Make art within ONE week!
Option B: a DOUBLE date
(up until MAR 8)
1. Comment with DOUBLE DATE
2. ADD your name + email + a start date;

Option C: a BLIND date
(up until FEB 24)

2. ADD your name + email + a start date;
3. Include your squicks and prefered characters*
4. Receive a fitting surprise summary on that date;
5. Contact the author;
6. Make art within THREE weeks!
*All options depend on availability; when I don't have enough stories left to offer a speed date, you'll get a double date instead. If I can't offer a blind date that's fitting to your preferences, you reserve the right to decline, but I will strongly encourage you to accept the challenge;)
You are allowed to add a wishlist, but the less specific your preferences, the better your chances!
For example: Sam & Dean, no bloodplay ~OR~ Misha/Jensen, no porn ~OR~ no preference, but no kidfic please
Finished your art? Post in the quicky_bang community with a banner or teaser image and a link to the art in your own journal. Tag with matchmaker jan2019 + your medium + other relevant tags.
Busy right now? Plan ahead! If you are eager to go, you can sign up with today as your start date. But suppose you only have time in February, simply sign up for the end of January. You will receive your match on the date you pick, so that's when you can start arting:) Your requested timeframe will be stated in your mail.
