Gotham Big Bang Rules

Artists version

)Artists will create at least 1 piece of art per fic claimed. You are free to create more than the minimum number of required pieces at your discretion. )Art may be an original illustration or a photo manipulation. Photo manipulations must be more than simple filter application and involve significant changes to the photographs that result in a unique image. All materials and styles of art are welcome, including traditional and digital. Art should be a minimum of 540px wide if it will be posted to tumblr, but the final size and orientation are up to the artist. )PLEASE NOTE: Artists are welcome to make a promotional banner for your team's masterpost and separators/icons for your author to use, but they won’t count toward the minimum of 1 piece. )Artists are encouraged to work with an art beta, just as authors work with beta readers. This is someone who can give you feedback and help polish your final work. Your fellow artists are a great resource for this. )Art can be embedded in the fic (if the author permits it), posted to the artist’s website of choice, or both. Where art is hosted is at the artist’s discretion. )If you decide to remove your affiliation with the work at a later point, please consider providing your author with the files so they can continue to be displayed. )You may register as both an author and artist, but you may not make art for your own fic.

Gotham Big Bang Rules

Writer’s edition

)Fics must be a minimum of 10,000 words. There is no maximum word count. )Your fic must be at least 50% complete, with the remainder outlined, in order to qualify for artist claims. )Each author may write one fic for this round. You may not submit a second fic as an author. )Your work should be brand new for the challenge or a previously unpublished WIP, and no part of it may have been published prior to your posting date (this includes sneak peeks on social media). If you are uncertain whether your WIP qualifies or have circumstances not outlined here, please contact the moderators with details.   )Drafts you submit must be typed. We will not accept photos of your notebook or your word that your handwritten manuscript meets our requirements.   )To ensure the anonymity of claims, please don’t reveal any details of what you’re working on publicly prior to claims. It is perfectly fine to discuss privately one-on-one with your alpha or beta reader. Finished fics should be posted to Archive of Our Own and remain publicly available for at least one year. If you do not have an AO3 account, the moderators can help you set one up. If you decide to remove your affiliation with the fic at a later point, we would encourage you to consider orphaning the work rather than deleting it. )Your fic must be posted in its entirety on your posting date. Serial posting is prohibited on any website. )Authors may not commission art for a fic written for the GBB due to the team nature of the challenge, since this would be unfair to your artist. This includes asking artist friends to create illustrations or photomanipulations as a favor. And remember, you can’t illustrate for your own fic. Even if your team artist agrees, it is against the rules and we will disqualify you. )You may register as both an author and artist, but you may not make art for your own fic.
