Small Fandoms Bang

Authors, this is your rough draft submission post!

Don’t freak out, though, your rough drafts aren’t due today. I’m putting up the submission rules early so that people who have their fic finished, or were having computer or internet issues, could submit their rough draft early if they so wished. (And, to be fair, not getting all of the submissions in one day would also benefit me, as well. *g*)

The rough draft submission date is next Friday, January 31, so you still have a week to get your fic to the “required” 8,000 words/80% completed place if you haven’t already. (And yes, I used quotation marks because I’m flexible about that so long as you will A) have your fic finished by the final draft deadline of March 31 and B) have something substantial to send to your artist after claims – claims open on February 7 and the matching reveal will be made on February 14.)

( All about submitting your rough draft... )

Coming up:

The Artist Claiming Post(s) will go up on Friday, February 7. Artists will claim a story from the summaries, which will be posted anonymously. (The Sneak Peak post will go up at least 24 hours prior to the Claiming Post, though I’m shooting for 48 hours to give all the artists time to review the summaries.) The Matching Reveal post will go up on Friday, February 14. At that time I will send out e-mails to the author/artist partners with contact information.

It will be up to the author to provide the story to your artist, as well as any other assistance (ie, screencaps) that your artist might need. It is imperative, especially with a multi-fandom challenge such as this one, that you communicate with your artist.

NOTE: Artist sign-ups will remain open until the claiming period has closed (or until all fic have been claimed), so if you’re aware of an artist (remember, we also accept fanmixes, podcasts, vids, etc as fanart) who might be interested in this challenge, please point them to the Artist Sign-Up Post. Thank you!

If you have any questions, you may comment here with them, or contact me at sfbbmod@gmail.com. Comments will be screened.

I will not be sending the rough draft you submit to your artist.

The time to submit your rough draft is now over.

I have cleaned out my in-box (and checked my spam folder) and replied to everyone whose rough draft submission (or request to Opt Out Of Art) I received. If you submitted a rough draft (or request to Opt Out Of Art) and have not heard from me, please let me know (after checking your spam folder to make sure my reply wasn’t sent there by mistake).

Additional Notes:

1. The Sneak Peak post for artists will be posted at least 24 (and hopefully 48) hours prior to claiming opening up.

2. The Artist Claiming post will go up at approximately 7am EST on Saturday, February 7.

3. Artist sign-ups will remain open until all fic have been claimed. If you know of someone who’d like to sign-up as an artist, please direct them to the Artist Sign-Up Post.

4. If you have not joined the community, please do so now, as both the Sneak Peak and Artist Claiming posts will be locked to the comm.

Thank you!

Based on the e-mails I have received so far, there are two things I feel need to be emphasized with respect to filling out the summary form.

1a. The rating/category line item requires you to include both a rating AND a category. The rating is, well, the rating, G, PG-13, etc. The category is where you label the story as gen, het, slash, femslash, threesomes, etc.

For example, that portion of the header should look like this: PG-13/Het

1b. If you include a pairing in the character/pairing line, then please Do Not list your story as Gen (ie, PG-13/Gen). You can write a G-rated story that is still slash because it contains a romantic pairing. (You can label your story however you like when you end up posting it to your journal or to AO3, but for purposes of this community, pairing =/= Gen.)


2. Please DO include a paragraph or two when filling out the summary section. As I mentioned in the Rough Draft Submission post, this is not the same summary you will use when you post your story, but a summary that should entice an artist to chose your story for which to create art. Instead of being coy, include details! And please, don’t just include a one-line summary.

Thank you!

I have cleaned out my in-box and replied to everyone whose rough draft submission I received. If you submitted a rough draft and have not heard from me, please let me know (after checking your spam folder to make sure my reply wasn’t sent there by mistake).

I have not received rough draft submissions from a handful of authors who responded to Check-In #3 (and have not already contact me to withdraw). If you have to withdraw, please let me know. If you did not submit a rough draft and would still like to do so, please contact me at the mod account, sfbbmod @ gmail.com, and we’ll discuss it.
