The Bandom Big Bang Challenge

Primary rough drafts due: August 20th (fanworks must be 80% complete)
Primary claims period: August 23rd - August 27th
Primary and complement final drafts due: November 26th
Posting: November 28th - December 4th

We had about 25 people participate in the poll, and while about 48% of you indicated that you would be done by the deadline, 92% of you indicated you would be fine with an extension. And since 52% of you are not going to be done by the deadline, we'd decided to extend the schedule by a month.

So, we've updated the schedule. We jiggled the final due date a little, because of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend in the US.

If you have timing issues with either the rough draft, claims, or final draft turn in days, please email the mods.

When you turn in your final draft, you can include which posting dates are a no-go for you and we will accommodate you as best we can.

Good luck, and keep working on your fanwork!

Sorry for the delay. The schedule for Wave One is going to be pushed back by exactly a month. So, the new schedule is:

Wave One: Fic, 20,000 words

Draft due: June 16th
Summaries for artist and mixer claims go up: June 17th
Check-in for artists and mixers: July 10th
Final fics, art, and mixes due: July 20th
Posting: July 23rd - July 28th

A post outlining the submission process will go up in a day or two. If you're still looking for a beta, leave a comment in the beta post or send an email to the mods (bandombigbang at gmail) and we'll see what we can do.

*cheers everyone on*

- Numbers refer to summary numbers in the claims post

- If you're available to pinch hit, please let us know here. We're good! And all of you are GREAT. ♥

- If you see a problem--repeated numbers or we've assigned you to a day when you're on a deserted island without internet access--please let us know ASAP! bandombigbang@gmail.com

Hey everyone! Based on the number of fics that are planning to post during Wave 1, we've decided to shorten the posting period to June 21-27. That should give us about 3 fics a day! :)

We hope that having a longer break between waves 1 and 2 will ease the pressure on wave 2 participants, and give everyone more time to read, listen, view, and leave feedback. Sorry for any inconvenience!
