Update: I’m sorry for the lack of communication, guys. I started a new job last Monday and to be honest - wasn’t quite sure how to word all of this.
We are not getting rid of the challenge. Instead, we’re revamping it. We’ve had a few suggestions about how the challenge could better include artists, so that’s what we’re focusing on for the first round.
The new version will be a series of different miniature ‘big bangs’ starting with a smaller version of a ReverseBang. If you’re an artist, or if you know any artists, send them our way. Instead of creating *new* art for the challenge, they can submit *OLD* art, that they’ve always wanted to see a story written for.
Authors will then sign up in a similar fashion as before, only this time they’ll include which piece of art is inspiring their stories. There will be no voting on favorites or prizes. For the first round, the prize will be artists getting a fic.
My main goal would be to do something different each challenge. (I.E.: a reversebang one time, a more traditional all-ships-included bang the next time, a kinky bang).
The new timeline will also be different: instead of one month, each challenge will encompass two months. (Two week for set up, four weeks for writing, two week for wrap-up.) As we go along, this might need to be adjusted, but we’ll cross that bridge when it gets here.
The fics will still be smaller. Instead of the daunting idea of a 10k big bang, you’d only be required to write a minimum of 2k words. (Max 10k.)
So... that’s where I’m at. Unfortunately I can’t start the first round until I get some artists sending in pictures. So please if you know a fandom artist, have them email us ([email protected]) with past art (up to 2 pictures per artist!). Any ship. Any level of sfw to nsfw. Any setting. Just as long as it’s inspiring.
