Professionals Big Bang WRITERS' Sign Up Post 2018
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.

Email address: Same as last year - should I send it again ?
I already have a full story outline and most of a first chapter. I'm quite hopeful of finishing, given that I made it despite all the hurdles I had to overcome last year.
Hope things are less fraught this year.
(Also, it's brill to be able to post to AO3 - Lj really doesn't like my browser - it can take me literally days to get a story post up on an Lj comm - especially a long one - although, for anyone with the same difficulties, I find swapping to Chrome makes life easier.)
Re: Sign up
Hello, nice to see you here :0)
no subject
Yes - we have your e-mail.
Interesting on the Browser issue. I find it easier to get stories formatted on lj and then copy to AO3. If I may ask - what browser do you use?
And yes - I definitely vote for a less fraught year - all around!

I prefer internet explorer, but Lj doesn't seem to like it. (I admit it's elderly, but I'm the Queen of pinning things - and prefer the way IE does that.)
It gets really grumpy about long posts. But if I use Chrome and cut and paste from a word doc (and I tend to have a copy on one of those anyway) it seems to play up less.
I don't have any problems with AO3 (or FF.net, come to that). Although, I'd never posted to a challenge before last year, so I'm not sure I went about that in the most efficient manner.
Bizarrely, though, I haven't had any of the access probs some other people have been reporting about Lj recently.
