SFBB01: Posting Instructions

[sfbbmod]

Posting beings tomorrow, April 5. Yes, it’s finally here! We’re so excited about this, and we hope that you all are, too. We can’t wait to read the fic and enjoy the art.

Now, for the instructions:

1. On your posting day, Authors and Artists should post your fanfic/fanart at your own journal/archive and make an announcement here at smallfandombang (using the header template below) that links to either a Master Post in your journal or the fic at an archive such as AO3.

(Yes, we’re doing this a little bit differently than most other big bangs – both Authors and Artists should post an announcement here in the community. We stole this idea from kink_bigbang.)

2. Your fic/art posts should not be locked. (While we don’t require you to post it here in the community, we would like the fic/art you created for this challenge to be available for everyone to enjoy.)

3. If you need to break your fic up into parts, please make sure each part links to the next to make it easier for your readers.

4. Please only use a thumbnail or resized image of no larger than 300pixel width in your announcement post so we don’t screw up everyone’s f-list.

5. If you post your fic at AO3 please feel free to add it to the Small Fandoms Bang Round One collection.

6. If you miss your posting date for any reason please contact us. DO NOT merely post on whatever day you remember or become available as that steals the thunder from the Authors and Artists who have signed up for that day.

7. When posting your announcement here at smallfandombang, please follow the format below:

Fanfic Announcement:

Subject line: Fic: Fandom (Author)

Header template:

<b>Title:</b> <b>Author:</b> <b>Artist:</b> <b>Fandom:</b> <b>Characters/Pairings:</b> <b>Rating/Category:</b> (ie, NC17/Gen or PG13/Slash) <b>Genre:</b> (ie, romance, action, crossover, au, etc) <b>Word Count:</b> <b>Warnings</b> (ie, major character death, non-con/rape, extreme violence) <b>Summary:</b> <b>Link to fic master post:</b> <b>Link to art master post:</b>

You may add information to the header (author notes, beta credit, acknowledgments, disclaimer, etc) but please don't remove any of the items listed or otherwise change the order of the requested information. Thank you!


Last reminder: if you haven’t already joined this community, do so now! You must be a member of this community to post.


If you have any questions that aren’t answered in the FAQ you may ask them here (comments will be screened) or e-mail us at sfbbmod @ gmail.com.

No, the coordination was because we wanted everyone available to post on those days. Because of the nature of this challenge we wanted to allow artists the same opportunity to 'toot their own horn' as authors. However, if you're happy with your authors linking to your art posts then it's fine if you'd rather not post an announcement in the comm.

So sorry for the confusion! You have posting access now. Thanks for the heads up.

My apologies! I'm so sorry, but I skipped you when I was giving posting access. I tried to be thorough but I screwed up. You should be able to post now.
