What's a checkpoint? They're something to give you a feel on where a typical artist and/or author should or could be at in their creation process. They're used for encouragement and motivation only. The last author checkpoint is mandatory and for us to determine what art pieces we need to find pinch hitters for. Any author who does not check in then (or if they can't make it lets us know why) will be dropped from the challenge and a pinch hitter assigned to the art prompt. Checkpoints will be ran on the Livejournal community but feel free to fill out the form and send it to us in an Ask if you'd prefer. What should my artist's rough draft look like? It should be the equivalent of about 80% of your final artwork. That's hard to measure, of course -- basically it does not need to be a finished piece but it should give the author wanting to claim your art a good idea of what it will look like. What should my author's rough draft look like? It needs to be at least 4,000 words, or 80% of your fic. You do not need to have your fic finished by this time however, you may still work on it and get it beta-read until your final fic and art is due. We just need to be able to reasonably verify that you are going to be able to post on your assigned date.
What is a reverse bigbang?
A reverse bigbang is the opposite of a bigbang. Instead of authors writing fanfiction and artists making art for that fic, it goes the other way around. The artists create art and the authors get to choose a piece of art to create fanfiction for.
How do I sign up?
You can comment to the sign up posts on the Livejournal community:
Artist Sign Ups/Author Sign Ups
. Or you can fill out this google form:
Merlin Reverse Bang Sign Ups
.
Do I have to have an livejournal account to sign up?
Not at all! Feel free to sign up with your tumblr/AO3/twitter account. All we need is the email you use so we can keep in contact you and so your partner can be in contact with you after claims. When it comes time for posting if you or your partner do not have an LJ account just send us your links/information and we can make the post to the community for you.
What are the requirements for art? Artists are expected to make at least one new piece of art: a drawing, digital manip, or fanvid. Art must be at least 400 by 600 pixels in size, videos must be at least one minute in length. Fanmixes need to be at least 8 tracks and cover and back art (minimum size for those are 400x400px). A download link for the mix needs to be included when the mix is turned in, that link will not be in the claims post but will be given to the author that claims it. For this reverse big bang, at this time, we ask that you create no more than two pieces of art for this challenge -- we want to make sure that everyone's art gets claimed. This may be subject to change, depending on how many artists we get. This means separate art prompts, for one prompt you can make as many pieces as you want. If you make multiple pieces for one prompt please put it all together on a collage when you turn it in.
What type of requirements are there for a fic? You will be expected to write a fic with a minimum of 5,000 words, based on the prompt you choose in the Art Claims post. Claims will be first come, first serve. You will need to get your fic beta'd.
