Quicky Sticky

[beelikej]

Through a fandom project I found out there are a lot of artists with a desire to create more fanart, as well as a lot of authors who wish for art to go with their stories that aren't part of big writing challenges. Yet both were not sure how to approach each other. I aim to bring y'all together in this art-community by offering opportunities for

Is there a limit to how many stories we can offer?

[beelikej]

Ooh, I hadn't thought of that, so the answer would be 'no'. But seeing as we have a lot of authors looking for artists, I think keeping it down to three specific links maximum would be fair. You are welcome to mention that you have more stories available for arting:)

[reeby10]

Alright, thank you!

[marciaelena]

Oh, oops! I just offered four stories for grabs. But one is a poem (under 400 words) and one of the stories is under 600 words. Should I delete one?

Just saw a post about this - definitely joining so I can participate in the future! (Fic-writer) What an awesome idea. :)

[beelikej]

Welcome to the community:) There will be a new round of the regular Quicky_Bang after the Matchmaker Challenge. So I'll see you in September!

[tabaqui]

Ah, I am feeling sort of - frazzled in real life, but wondered - can you still submit for August? Or no? Thanks!

[beelikej]

YES, yes you can! Fics can be submitted all of August, artist can claim and post all the way through to the end of September:) Comment on this post to offer your fic!

[marciaelena]

Do authors get to write a new story for this challenge, or is this for old, already posted stories we might have?

[beelikej]

A story has to be completed; the Quicky_Bang was set up to get artists arting as soon as possible, that's why a link to the finished story is required. It doesn't have to be an old story though; if you have a fic ready, get it up on AO3 or your LJ and you can submit it for a quicky all through August!

[marciaelena]

I wish you'd up the word limit to 5K, I have one story just under that word count that I'd love to see illustrated.

[beelikej]

Ahw, that's not going to happen; the whole purpose of the quicky is that the stories are short:) You can always offer it up in the CLASSIFIEDS comments, that's the place to find wandering artists! (In my next promopost, I'll make a list of all the stories on offer and I will also point people in the direction of the other corners of this community that are active)

[cowboyguy]

If I checked one of my fics I was thinking about submitting and it turns out that it's 4141 words, I'm assuming that's not close enough to 4,000 to round down, right? :D I have others I can submit that are definitely under 4K, but I just thought I'd check!

[beelikej]

Ahw, yeah, I have to draw the line somewhere. I'm happy to hear you have other fics you can offer for a quickie;)

P.S. This community has a Classifieds section, where you can look for an artist to collaborate with on other projects. You could offer your longer fic up there!

Authors

Hi! Sorry but I can’t find info on what the authors need to do to participate in the challenge! Can you tell me?:)

RE: Authors

[beelikej]

Hi, anon!
Authors have already done their part; this is a collection of fics that were submitted for the last Quicky_Bang challenge. The stories on offer are the ones that were left unclaimed in that round. (The old submission post is locked to keep the fics a secret:)

There will be a new round of the regular Quicky_Bang after the MatchMaker Challenge is done, so probably in March/April. Keep an eye on the community if you want to offer a fic! (It will already have to be written and published, so you could write in the mean time;)
