SFBB07: Artist Sign-Up Post

[sfbbmod]

GENERAL RULES & INFORMATION

1. Please make sure you join the community. It will be the Artist’s responsibility to watch or track the community to make sure you don’t miss anything.

2. Acceptable art includes: A fanmix with at least 8 songs, a series of at least 8 icons, a video, a podfic, a single piece of two-dimensional art such as a cover or banner (manip, drawing, etc), or title and chapter banners. [At least one piece of art is required; if the artist would like to produce additional work that is absolutely acceptable.]

3. Artists may co-create art. If you choose to co-create art, please only sign up once and list both user names in the sign-up.

4. Artists may have also signed up to write fic, but may not claim their own fic for which to produce art.

5. Please note that check-ins are mandatory.

6. Artists will have the opportunity to claim additional fic if there are any unclaimed fic after the first round of claiming.

7. Artwork must not be posted anywhere on the web prior to your posting date.

8. Since this is a multi-fandom, small fandom challenge there is a high probability that Artists will be asked to create artwork for fandoms they are unfamiliar with. Authors are aware that they may be called upon to assist their Artist with screencaps, character descriptions, etc.

Please read the Rules and FAQ before you sign up.

SFBB07: Nov 1 Round-Up, Reminders & Requests

[sfbbmod]

Whew! There are a lot of things are happening simultaneously today! If you missed a post on your f-list, here’s the round-up:

1. Author Sign-Ups are closed and it is time for our first check in. Author Check-In no. 1 can be found here: on LJ | on DW. [If you can’t see the post you’ll need to join the community.]

2. Artist Sign-Ups are now open here: on LJ | on DW!

3. November 1st falls on a Wednesday this year, so our first Hump Day! Post is up at the support comm. Head on over to meet your fellow authors at the Author Meet & Greet!


Additional Items:

4. Invitations to the support comm, smallfandomcafe have been sent out to all authors who have signed up. The invitations will only remain open for 30 days, so please accept your invite before it expires. (Please note that you will not receive an e-mail notification of the invite unless you have adjusted your LJ settings to request one. If you have not received an e-mail notification, you should check your My Invites page under the Communities menu to accept the invitation.)

5. There has been an issue with joining the support comm using OpenID. I don’t know if LJ is having a brain fart right now, or if it’s something else. If there is anyone who routinely uses OpenID who might be able to help us out, I’d appreciate it. Thank you!

6. Lastly, a reminder to please e-mail the mod account if you need to contact me for any reason. Please do not PM the mod account on LJ or DW, especially if you want me to see your comment right away. I need to sign out of my personal account and sign into the mod account in order to view the PM, which is a bit of a hassle on my phone so I generally wait until I get home and can do so on my computer. Plus it’s easier to keep a ‘paper’ trail of our conversation when it takes place via e-mail. So please, e-mail me at sfbbmod @ gmail.com if you have any questions or comments. Thank you!
