GENERAL RULES & INFORMATION

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

2. Your fandom must be verified before you sign up. If your fandom wasn’t previously verified last round then you should comment here or at the What Qualifies as a Small Fandom post at our sister community [livejournal.com profile] smallfandomfest to have it verified. The general rule for this community is that any fandom with less than 2,000 fic qualifies. (For a list of fandoms that have already been disqualified, please check the What Qualifies as a Small Fandom post at [livejournal.com profile] smallfandomfest.)

3. Stories must be at least 10,000 words long. There is no maximum length.

4. All ratings, pairings (gen, het, slash, threesomes), and genres (from horror to romance) are welcome here.

5. AUs are allowed. Crossovers between small fandoms are allowed. Fusions between small fandoms are allowed.

6. Stories must be fictional person fiction only; this challenge does not include real person fiction unless the real person has been fictionalized. (For example, if you’re writing Alexander the Great based on the movie Alexander, or Napoleon based on the Temeraire series.)

8. Stories must be complete and new – no WIPs or previously posted work will be accepted.

9. Authors may sign-up to write more than one fic, and/or to co-write a fic. Please read the FAQ before doing so as there are limits to the number of fic you can sign up to write.

10. If you choose to co-write fic, please only sign up once and list both usernames in the form.

11. If you choose to sign-up to write more than one fic, please sign up separately for each fic.

12. Please note that check-ins are mandatory this round.

13. Stories must not be posted anywhere on the web prior to your posting date, in part or in whole. You will be able to share snippets of your story at our support comm, [livejournal.com profile] smallfandomcafe.

14. Authors may also sign-up to do art, but may not claim his/her own fic.

15. Authors, please note that you may be called upon to assist your artist with screencaps, character descriptions, etc. 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.

Please read the Rules and FAQ before you sign up.

On rule number 6, that means I can write a fic using the Steve and Terri versions from Crocodile Hunter Collision Course? Could I incorporate real life details then?

Wait that has to be verify first according to the rules, well Im pretty sure there's no other fics for that movie and I'm thinking of doing a crossover of that with the movie Game 6.

Both of those fandoms qualify. Using real-life events would be fine.

It's round 3, and your sign-up went through fine!!

I edited the form to reflect the new round, but I had forgotten that I could (and should) edit the response you get after filling out the form. And I didn't even notice the discrepancy when I signed up! I've fixed it now!

Did you get the e-mail from the mod account confirming that we'd received your sign-up? I explain in the e-mail that you have to go to the Communities menu and click on My Invites if you haven't set it up to receive e-mail notifications from LJ. Let me know if you still can't find it.

I'm interested in signing up, but I'm debating several fandoms and I don't know which one I'll settle on yet; how can I note this on the Sign-Up Form?

You don't need to know at sign-up which fandom you will end up writing in. The sign-up form asks you to sign-up with three potential fandoms, mainly so I can make sure they all qualify (less than 2000 fic). If you end up changing your mind about using one of those three, just let me know and I'll edit the spreadsheet. (You will have to know the final fandom by check-in #3, though.)

Is it possible to check in through email on December 31st? I'm going to have some form of internet access on New Year's Eve, but NYD is somewhat iffy. Can make all of the other check ins no problem.

Hi, so, I'm interested in possibly writing for two fandoms that aren't on the list: Marble Hornets (which is generally under the larger heading of Slenderverse, so I could go with that, too? I would mainly be writing in the MH corner, though) and The Thick of It. Do they qualify?

spikedluv: (mod_smallfandombang_maerys)
From: [personal profile] spikedluv
Despite ff.net being a pain and categorizing all web series together, I'll go by AO3's small number of fic and allow Marble Hornets.

The Thick of It tv series qualifies.

So I would love to write a fic for either Revolution or Hart of Dixie, neither of which are on the verified list. I checked myself and they should qualify, but can you please check for me? Thank you!

Hello! I'm very interested in signing up for this big bang challenge and would like to confirm that the Jasper Dent series written by Barry Lyga is eligible. I'm pretty sure there's only one fanfic about these characters in existence, but I'd still like to check.

According to FAQ this should be okay, but I would like to check just in case: is it okay to write two separate stories that are in the same fandom, part of the same series (series that has no other entries as of now), and in total the two stories would have 10,000 words or more?

(no subject)

Date: 10/22/13 11:02 am (UTC)
spikedluv: (mod_smallfandombang_maerys)
From: [personal profile] spikedluv
Yes, that would be fine. (Please keep in mind that, though you're writing two stories, it still qualifies as one submission.)

I know exactly what you mean wrt to already being signed up for other things. I often think there isn't a BB or challenge that doesn't look interesting and tempt me to sign up for it. *g*

I'm glad I'm not the only one with that issue XD

I signed up for Extreme BB, which has the word limit of 100k... so I think I'll try to hold myself back from taking on other projects

Is it possible to change one of the small fandom in my crossover fic to another on account I think I can write Robert Downey Jr's character in the Soloist better then the one in Game Six?

I believe The Soloist is a small fandom and it won't be a problem since I haven't gotten that far yet.

I've finished my first fic, I'm going to sign up to do a second fic as well. I'll fill out the form with both fandoms, but just wanted you to know I was already signed up for one.

I just saw your name come in and I was like, does she remember that she already signed up? *g* You need to sign up separately for each fic, so that's fine. I'll send you an e-mail anyway, just so I can keep track of what I'm doing.
