STORM PILOT BIG BANG @stormpilotbigbang - Tumblr Blog

its not easy to admit defeat...

It is with a heavy heart that I officially declare the 2016 Stormpilot Big Bang Challenge canceled. There simply were not nearly enough artist or pinch hitter sign ups to cover even a quarter of all the lovely fics being written for this challenge. With Artist sign ups set to close in just five days I can safely say that we likely will not be getting nearly enough sign ups to save this thing in time. That isn’t to say I’ve given up on this challenge entirely, I still really believe in it and think it has the potential to be something great, so you can expect to see us back up and running next year.

For all of those amazing writers who produced work in the name of this challenge I would like to thank you for participating. You are of course under no obligations to withhold posting your works and can release them at whatever time you wish.

2nd Author Check In Postponed to August 6th

I apologize for the lateness of the announcement more information will be made available at a later date. For those of you that have already sent in a Check In, it will not be necessary to resubmit. Once again I apologize for just how long it took to get the message out, thank-you for your understanding.

i sent in my confirmation, but i was still told that i didn't send it in? i'm honestly really terrified

There was an issue with the Alert email; it was unintentionally sent to everyone, I won't be able to check on your status specifically however, if you received a confirmation email there is a very high probability that you were sent the Alert by mistake.

Regarding the outline/layout, how detailed does the outline have to be? There are some rather important plot twists I'd rather not leak.

I leave that discretion up to the writers. It can be as long or short as you're comfortable with.

As authors, are we required to sign up with one of the stormpilot betas? There are way fewer of them than there are authors...

No you are not required. Unfortunately, this does seem to be the case; betas and cheerleaders are voluntary just as authors, artists, and translators. The list is however updated as new betas/cheerleaders volunteer.

For the check in, what should we include in the outline/layout?

If you have already completed an outline/layout for your fic then just sending that in will be fine. However, for those of you who have not than this is a good template.

Will cheerleaders be assigned to authors/artists, or is it their job to approach the creators, or the creator's responsibility to approach the cheerleader? I've not really participated in one of these before so I'm not sure.

It is the creator's responsibility to reach out to the betas/cheerleaders. Creators are provided with a complete list of all betas and cheerleaders and decide themselves who they would like to reach out too.

Is it too late to sign up to be a beta? I tried the link and it didn't work.

It is never too late for Beta, Cheerleader, or Translator Sign Ups. They are always open. I’m not sure why you’re having trouble with the link, I just tested it out myself. But here is an alternate link, I hope this helps.

Is this still active?

Yes nonnie this is still very much active!

Hi there! Do crossovers that are Stormpilot centric count as AUs? Thank you so much!

I'm not entirely sure sure how to answer this, nonnie, at least not without seeing the work first. I can say, however, that both crossovers and au's even crossover au's are welcome as long as they are stormpilot centric. It sounds to me like what you're pursuing is so it is totally acceptable!

Just was wondering if there was a change in schedule. The schedule still says May 30th for closing date for author sign-ups, but the "upcoming events" over to the left says May 15th.

There has been no change, this was on oversight and will be fixed asap.

Would playlists work for the artist category? I know challenges I've been in in the past have said "X number of tracks for specific lengths" (and as I use 8tracks to post everything, it's a minimum of 8 tracks lol) so I'd love to be able to sign up as an artist if I can do that! :)

Yes, playlists count.

Hi, I just wanted to offer a resource for authors (and I suppose any other contributors, but my only experience is as an author). When tackling a large project, I’ve found pomodoros to be a LIFE SAVER. The concept is you work for 25 minutes straight then take 5 minute breaks. Whenever I’ve had writer’s block or just trouble getting started, this has completely saved me. I hope it can help some other people too! Here’s a link to an online timer for it: http://tomato-timer.com/
