February 6th: Second Checkpoint
WRITERS: try to reach 2k if you’re doing a one-shot and 4k if you’re doing multi-chaptered.
ARTISTS: show your group some sketches, an outline, to let them know how far you’ve gotten and if you need to know anything new.
If you’re having any trouble, please contact mods.
February 20th: Third Checkpoint + Midway Check-in
WRITERS: try to have 3.5k and 6.5k for one-shots and multi-chaptered fics respectively written so you can have room to edit.
ARTISTS: you should have a good idea of all the scenes/info. you’re planning to use, start outlining/sketching if you haven’t.
Let the mods know if you feel you’re really behind or are having any issues.
February 27th: Fourth Checkpoint
WRITERS should try to have 5k and 9k written (one-shot and multi-chaptered respectively). You should have a good idea of how you want things to end and should be talking with you betas about how to tie everything together.
ARTISTS: if you’re doing more than one piece try to have one of them pretty much ready so you have time to work on the other. Let your writer know if you need more info than what they’ve given you thus far.
March 6th: Fifth Checkpoint
WRITERS: aim for reaching the min by this point (that’s 6k and 11k). We low-balled it with the mins so we know a lot of you are going to go higher, which is also why we’re asking for the word min early. If not, it’s okay if you haven’t reached the min yet, just do your best to give yourself time to go back to any scenes you’re not to sure about or add anything you feel needs adding.
ARTISTS: be in constant connection with your group. If you are going to add any last minute pieces, now’s the time.
March 13th: Last Checkpoint
WRITERS, you should be pretty much finished by this point. Use this week to edit and add the finishing touches. ARTISTS, same goes for you.
Let the mods know if you feel you’re REALLY behind (we’ll keep it in mind so we know to assign you the latest possible posting day).
March 20th: END OF BIG BANG CONTENT CREATION!
March 21st: Posting Dates Assigned
Based on what we’ve heard back from everyone, we’ll assign you a posting day (Mon-Fri the following week). We’ll do our best to give the latest posting dates to those that, for whichever circumstance, fell behind (so, if you feel you’re good to go, let us know you’re up for being the first to post).
March 22nd-29th: Posting Week
