rules and sign ups.
Big bang challenges are for longer fic, so let's break those lj posts!
-there's two rounds a year, one is spring/summer and one in fall/winter. The Spring/Summer one will be the longer (take advantage of those lazy summer days!), while the fall/winter will be the smaller. The current minimums are 10k for the first, and 5k for the second. They may or may not be subject to adjusting in subsequent journals.
-You can work alone or in groups. This could work as you and the others co-writing a story, or you each submitting parts of a continuous verse or anthology type thing based on a theme.
-Your story does have to be complete at posting, but it doesn't have to be one continuous story. In essence, you could do a several related fics in a same verse to make up a ficverse, or a set with a similar theme. (For example, one year for tenipuribigbang, a group and I did an anthology of fairytale retellings. So that's what I'm talking about here.) You could also have a finished piece which you later write a sequel to.
-the fic in question cannot be something already posted and unfinished. It can, however, be something you already started as long as the original wordcount is less than 1k and said wordcount isn't added towards your initial total.
-Because artists in FE fandom are a rare commodity and we don't want to work our poor fanartists into the ground, unlike a lot of big bang communities, unless we get a lot of volunteers, art and mixes will optional. (And yes, you can draw your own if you wish.)
-All fic will be proofread for errors by another person before posting.
Sign ups: begin June 11th and end at July 12th.
First Drafts and Summaries due: August 15th
The deadline for submission: October 14th.
If you're not interested in writing, there's a sign up sheet for betas, artists and mixers right here.
