The Bandom Big Bang Challenge

Hey guys!

Everyone's been so fabulous this year about emailing us their materials early or about problems, especially this wave it seems, and we so appreciate it! And now it's time for some announcements/reminders before the Wave 3 due date. (Try to keep an eye on this post and/or bandombigbang in case things change!)

- Claims are now closed, so we've removed all the struck through text and disabled comments on the claims posts. If you need to reach us, email us! bandombigbang@gmail.com

- It looks like we won't need pinch hitters this wave, IN THEORY, but it's close enough we'd like to hear from you if you're able/willing/interested. Please leave a comment here with the following information:

1. Your name
2. Your email address
3. Art or mix?
4. Bands you WILL NOT work with
5. Content and/or warnings you WILL NOT work with

Pinch hits will be assigned based on this information, and you will have at least one week to create.

- ALL MATERIALS (fics, mixes, and art) are due AUGUST 19 using this clock.

- Actual posting dates will be some time between August 22 and September 8 and will be announced to the community as soon as all fics are in.

- After all materials for a certain summary are in, we will assign a posting date and send an email to all relevant participants with your date and posting information.



Please read the guidelines for submission to make the process as smooth as possible.( Read more... )


Questions? Shoot us an email! bandombigbang@gmail.com

Attention everyone, your podfic(s), mix(es), and art(s) are all due in two days! IE, as long as it is Sunday, July 14 in Alofi, you are good to go.

Podficcers, the posting period is July 15-21. If you have any days you can not post, let us know when you turn in your podfic!

Behind the cut you will find your submission guidelines for podfic, mixes, and/or art. ( Read more... )

That's about it! Any questions? Shoot us an e-mail or leave a comment!

Hey everyone! This is your official LESS THAN A MONTH reminder:

Wave One drafts are due in 25 days, on Friday May 10.

Use this clock* to ensure that you're in on time.

Drafts must be 20,000 words with a beginning, middle, and end (ie, there must be enough of a plot and emotional arc for your mixer or artist to work from).

Remember that the list of mandatory warnings includes but is not limited to: rape/non-con, dub-con, incest, character death, suicide, self-harm, graphic violence, sexual content with a child (defined for our purposes as any person under 16 years old), eating disorders, addiction, & abuse (including child and domestic).

The mods reserve the right to require more warnings. Please err on the side of caution.

When your draft is ready, send it as an attachment to bandombigbang@gmail.com with the following information in the body of the email:

• Author(s)
• Author(s) email(s)
• Band(s)
• Pairing(s)
• Rating
• Warnings
• Summary**

Writer sign ups will close tonight. Please send in your drafts ASAP so we can start building the summary post. It can't go up until all drafts are in and checked!

*Here's a time zone converter! Just 'search' for Alofi.
**This is not summary you have to post with your fic. Therefore, summaries for claiming are generally longer and more detailed than posting summaries and often give away plot elements to entice artists and mixers. For ideas, please see previous claims posts.
