Professionals Big Bang WRITERS' Sign Up Post 2017

Professionals Big Bang WRITERS' Sign Up Post 2017


Challenge Rules for Writers

1. The central story element must focus on characters from The Professionals.
2. Stories must have a minimum length of 10,000 words. There is no maximum length.
3. Stories may be slash, gen, femslash, or het.
4. Any pairing is allowed, as is any rating.
5. AUs, Fusions and Crossovers are permitted but as it says in rule #1, the central story element must focus on characters from The Professionals.
6. You may write a story that is a prequel, sequel or companion story to a pre-existing story or stories you’ve written. However, the story/stories referred to must be available to read online and you will need to link to them when you post your story.
7. You are welcome to complete a WIP to meet the challenge as long as it has not been previously posted anywhere public.
8. Collaborations between writers are also allowed. Just let us know when you sign up if you are planning on writing with a partner.
9. Stories will be posted on an assigned date in October.
10. On your assigned date, you will make a master post for your story at this comm. The story itself may be posted to, and linked from, your personal LJ, Dreamwidth, AO3, The Automated Hatstand, etc.
11. We actively encourage adding stories to the Box of Tricks archive on AO3 to facilitate easy story downloads (we have membership codes available), but this is not required.
12. Please do not post your story anywhere prior to your assigned date and do not cross-post your story to any other community before the end of October.
13. We will create a master list of links and summaries at the community.
14. If you feel you have the energy and willpower to write a story and create artwork for someone else’s story, then please feel free to sign up as both an artist and as a writer.

Important Dates

Please sign-up to participate by March 1.

Your rough draft, full outline and story summary should be turned in by July 1. While we fully realize that a lot of us write right down to the wire and will continue to work on our stories until the September 23 deadline, Big Bangs are collaborative and our artists need this information to begin their work in turn.

On July 9, your summary will be posted anonymously for a participating artist to claim as a prompt. An artist will create, at the very least, one piece of art (title banner, illustration, manip, etc.) to accompany your story or a vidder may create a trailer for your story.

Your final draft should be completed by September 23.

Our posting schedule will begin in October.

Heh, well, cheating a bit as here is one I prepared earlier *g* All I need to do is finish it!

So nice to be here :)

Ooooh, having one you prepared earlier is a fine British Blue Peter tradition and therefore perfectly acceptable!

*sits on the comfy sofa to admire the happy writer and happier reader dances*

I'm nervous every year and yet I've already started on the bloody thing--it just, so far, as very little plot!

I nearly used the same icon then realised just in time that some of you might start wondering if we were clones.

Ok, this might end in ruin, but at least it'll be a *spectacular* one. :-)

Welcome back!!! The important thing is that you've started - the plot will follow!

[identity profile] loxleyprince.livejournal.com 2017-02-02 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Yippee!!! Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!

[identity profile] loxleyprince.livejournal.com 2017-02-02 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! Yes! Yes! Collaborations are to be encouraged! Huzzah! for signing up!

[identity profile] loxleyprince.livejournal.com 2017-02-02 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Clones would be EPIC because imagine how easy it would be to collaborate with yourself?! That said, non-clone-y collaboration will undoubtedly give you more scope, so that'll be fabulous too! HUZZAH for signing up for the 2017 BB with margaret_r!

[identity profile] loxleyprince.livejournal.com 2017-02-02 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
YAY!!!! Welcome back! *does happy returning stalwart mod dance*
