The White Collar Big Bang

Round 8 News

elrhiarhodan — Fri, 02 Mar 2018 22:27:33 GMT

For those of you who might be interested in participating in another round of the White Collar Big Bang, there's a poll over at the White Collar Big Bang comm on Dreamwidth.

Thanks for checking it out!

White Collar Big Bang on DW

The new comm is live and the imports are in queue. You can find us at whitecollar_bb

Migration to Dreamwidth

elrhiarhodan — Tue, 04 Apr 2017 14:45:36 GMT

I think it's time, guys. Time to move this community over to Dreamwidth and mirror back here. It's going to take some time and effort and it's going to basically mean that everyone will need to post on Dreamwidth.

When the change happens, the posts on LJ will be locked for comment, requiring members to post and comment on DW directly instead of posting here and making the mods import back to DW. That's the only way moving the community will work. It doesn't mean you'll have to get a DW account - they allow OpenID posting. But keeping the LJ account "live" will mean that no one will ever really migrate.

Whenever Round 8 begins, it will happen on DW only, but notifications will be crossposted here to LJ.

Round 8 News

elrhiarhodan — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 16:12:16 GMT

Last month, your mods solicited opinions here and here, on whether we should do the Big Bang or the Reverse Big Bang challenge this year, and the results were conclusive. Artists were eager for the Reverse Big Bang and there was a majority of responding writers who preferred that challenge, too:

As for the start date, May does seem to be the most popular start time:

So, going with the will of the active fandom, Round 8 of the traditional White Collar Big Bang will be on hiatus, and we'll go forward with Round 3 of the White Collar Reverse Big Bang.

The following is a tentative schedule, subject to change before the round opens. The art creation period will be one month and the writing period will be three months, based on the fandom preferences expressed in this poll.

Sign Ups for Artists and Authors Open: May 15, 2017
Artist Check In (not mandatory): June 1, 2017
Artist Sign Ups Close: June 15, 2017
Art Drafts Due: June 20, 2017
Round One Art Up for Claims: Saturday, June 25, 2015 at NOON Eastern
Round Two Art Up for Claims: Depends on unclaimed artwork
Round Three Art Up for Claims: Depends on unclaimed artwork
Author Check in (mandatory): August 15, 2017
Last day for author drop out: September 1, 2017
Pinch hit request: September 2, 2017
Author Rough Drafts Due: Begins September 18, 2017, continues for one week
Challenge Closes, Fics and Finished Art Due: September 25, 2017
Posting Starts: October 1, 2017

As we'll be going forward with the Reverse Big Bang, all further 2017 challenge-related information will be posted solely to the wc_reverse_bb community (this post will be crossposted there as well), so please make sure you're a member of that comm.

Thank you to everyone who'd expressed an opinion (even the person who said the mods should be replaced with someone who could start the round in April, I know you're kidding). It's such a delight to see everyone committed to keeping this fandom alive.

Another Poll - Challenge Start Dates

elrhiarhodan — Thu, 02 Mar 2017 14:07:07 GMT

The poll for the Big Bang/Reverse Big Bang is still open and if you are interested in participating in either of these challenges, please go and vote HERE.

Thank you to everyone who left comments, particularly those who had concerns about the duration of the challenge. While I'm posting here on the whitecollar_bb site simply because it has more members and a greater reach, some of the questions will be pretty specific to the wc_reverse_bb.

View Poll: Start Dates and Duration

Poll - Round Eight on the Horizon

elrhiarhodan — Tue, 28 Feb 2017 19:37:50 GMT

I can't believe it, but Round Eight of the White Collar Big Bang is on the horizon. If we with stick with the traditional April 1 start date, it's just a month away.

When there was always new canon on the horizon, there were a lot of fanwork creators who supported a rich community of challenges. But as time goes by, people become less interested or find new fandoms. That is simply the reality we live in. I currently mod three major White Collar Challenges: The whitecollar_bb, wc_reverse_bb, and the wcpairings exchange. In 2016, the Reverse Bang was put on hiatus and a lot of people had fun with the White Collar Pairings. There were just enough participants for the Big Bang and I have high hopes that the two writers who didn't finish their stories (for understandable reasons) will do so soon.

This poll is to gauge the interest of the fandom in which challenges should go on this year. I'm reluctant to put the granddaddy - the Big Bang - on hiatus, but if more people are interested in the Reverse Big Bang, I would do that. White Collar Pairings would be a supplement to either one of those challenges, not a replacement.

Please feel free to make suggestions, comments, words of encouragement in the conments.

And of course, thanks so much to aragarna for the beautiful artwork that accompanies this fic! *hugs* It was fun working with you!!

WCBB ROUND 7 - THIS ROUND IS NOW CLOSED - FINISHED FICS AND ART DUE

elrhiarhodan — Tue, 01 Nov 2016 16:00:37 GMT

Congratulations artists and authors! You've made it through the seventh round of the White Collar Big Bang Challenge!

Finished fics and art and summaries are now due - you have between today and November 7th th to submit.

Please send them to whitecollar.bb.mods@gmail.com. Please take a look at the rules regarding what is "finished" in the context of this submission and your posting date before you get hysterical that you're not actually done. We’ve built in a lot of flexibility for authors and we want this to be as fun and stress-free as possible.

Your community post will need to contain the following information>

To remind the participants, here are the complete posting requirements.

Who will be posting to the community? Generally, the author posts but if the author doesn’t have an LJ account and the artist does, the artist may post on the author’s behalf.

How will I know what day to post? Two weeks ago, authors made their posting date selections. Unlike previous rounds of the White Collar Big Bang, we are permitting up to four writers to post on the same day. Also, this was the time to have alerted the mods that you have a 20K plus fic and would like to post over several consecutive days.

What should my post to the community look like? The White Collar Big Bang Community post should contain the story header (in the format provided below), plus a preview of the art, no larger than 500 pixels wide, The story header for the Community Post must contain a summary, all appropriate warnings (there will be more about warnings when we get to posting time) and links to the full version of the art and the accompanying fic. You can link back to your own LJ, DeviantArt, DW, IJ, etc. so long as your post remains unlocked.

If your artwork preview is Not Safe For Work (NSFW) or has explicit elements, you will need to put it under a cut.

Your community post will need to contain the following information>

Can I post it to my journal/AO3 a few days early to show my friends? No, the first time you post this must be on your reveal day. You can post snippets it to the support community for feedback or show select friends in advance. We prefer works aren’t posting to journals/AO3 until the signed date of posting (if they can’t be locked for your eyes only) but do understand that coordinated times between a team can be difficult. Just let us know if you need to post your work a day or so early because of this.

I am posting an epic, how do I do that? Back when you picked your date selection post, we asked you to alert us that you'll need a few days to post all the parts of your story (so, we're expecting that you did this). If you need three or four days to post, you can start posting on day you are assigned and continue posting on your journal until the story is complete. Your post on the White Collar Big Bang Comm should be a Master Post with the art and links to all of the parts of the story, which you should update as those parts go live.

To be fair to all writers, if you are posting over several days, each part of your fic should be no less than 9k, including your header (to take into account LJ’s maximum per-post requirements). Posting stories in smaller increments is actively discouraged (but honestly, your mods have no power to prevent you from posting in 1000 word increments. If your story ties up nicely in 8k increments or 7k increments, just let us know and we’ll accommodate you as much as we can. The purpose of requiring close to the maximum size of an LJ post is to be fair to every writer participating in the BB, including many veterans who are accustomed to having only one story posted per day.

I’m and artist, where can I upload my art? There are several free resources such as Sendspace, or Mediafire that can be used for large files. Tinypic is recommended for images or .gif files, along with Photobucket and Imgur. You can also use the public folder on Dropbox, as well as various other places. Most people have their preferred hosting sites but if you need help finding one feel free to ask!

What if I fail to post on my assigned posting date? The heavens will turn black at noon. Frogs and lizards will fall like rain from the sky. Blood will seep from the eyes of every garden gnome statue in the world.

No, seriously. If you miss your posting day, you will post on the next available free slot (i.e., the next day were there aren’t the maximum number of fics scheduled to post).

YOU DO NOT GET TO WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE POSTING PERIOD TO POST

If you still don’t post, you’re out. As simple as that.

Of course, you can always finish your fic and with your artist’s consent, use the artwork, but your fic will not be part of the year’s challenge. Also, you’re out for the next round. Your mods take this pretty seriously and we keep track of defaulters.

We are not hard hearted or rigidly wedded to a pre-determined posting date. If you realize AFTER you’ve selected your posting date and before it is your posting date that you’re in trouble, contact the mods ASAP and we’ll slot you into a more doable date. Come on, we’re adults and this is supposed to be fun for everyone. Tell us you need an extension and we’ll accommodate you as much as we can. Don’t tell us and face the consequences.

As always, if you have any questions, please contact your mods:
