Posting Story Summaries

The summaries for 5 stories have been posted on a locked livejournal entry now.

Claiming is NOT possible yet, it will be available in a few days on the 23rd.

It is still possible to sign up as an artist! 

ps: since the bang is supposed to be secret, I won’t post the summaries publically on tumblr. If you don’t have a livejournal account, dear artists, send us an email at [email protected] and we’ll make them available to you

Claims soon

On May 20th the claims for the stories will go online. Due to multiple platforms, the participating artists may seem that post several times; please state your claim once, we will see and recognize it.

The first round of claims will be open for 48 hours or until every story has been claimed. If there are any stories left unclaimed after 48 hours, a second round will open free-for-all, where artists who didn't sign up for the challenge are also allowed to claim. Artists who have already claimed a story are also allowed to claim a second.

Once all stories are claimed for the first time, and there are still artists left wanting to work on a story, another bonus round will open. This means that authors could potentially get more than one artist on their story. Artists can only claim a maximum of two stories to work on.

Claiming Instructions:

You may claim only one(1) story at a time per round. If there are any stories left unclaimed 48 hours after claims open, we will have a second round of claims.

Please clearly list your top three(3) choices by their designated numbers provided in the summaries post.

Claims will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Once your claim has been confirmed, please see it through to the end.

Writers: Rough Drafts Due

Hello authors, your rough drafts are due today! As long as the 18th of May is sometime on this earth, you’re god to submit.

What are we expected to submit as a rough draft? Your draft can be full of mistakes and errors so long as the story is complete (having a beginning, middle and end) and fulfill the minimum 10,000 words requirement. Scenes and details that have yet to be written can be annotated in the drafts (this is mostly for the benefit of the artists so they’ll know what to expect out of your story). If you’re within range or close to 10k words, we promise not to stick you into a mirror dimension filled with rampaging gorillas. You can continue adding and editing however much you want after the draft submission.

Here is what you need to know about submitting your drafts:

Your drafts will be accepted so long as it’s still May 18th somewhere else in the world.

Send us your drafts in either one of these two methods:

Include the following subject line in your e-mail: “Draft Submission - [Username]”

Include details about your fic using the form below. Complete it and send it with your e-mail or notification. The details (word count, rating, summary etc.) do not need to be final. They can be changed later on.

Attach your draft (accepted file types: .doc, .docx, .rtf, .odt, .pdf) to an e-mail and send it to ‘[email protected]’ or;

Share your draft with ‘[email protected]’ on Google Docs and send us an e-mail notification.

This is the required form:

Username: Title: Word Count: Rating: Genre: Characters: Pairing(s): (Delete if not applicable.) Warnings: Summary: Visual Elements & Settings:

The summary you provide here is meant to attract artists, so bear that in mind when you write it. Likewise, visual elements and settings are important for artists to determine what they’re signing up for. Examples of visual elements and settings are such as: Ice encasing streets with tall buildings, citizens running away in fear as Captain Cold stands above a pillar of ice. Iron Heights prison cells. Autumn in Keystone, autumn colours in a park, etc. Be as descriptive as you can. About Ratings: If you’re using AO3’s rating system, they’d be G,T, M and E, which stand for General, Teen, Mature and Explicit respectively. Alternatively, you can use MPAA’s ratings, G, PG, PG-13, R or NC-17.
