As we are now getting ever closer to our deadline of 23rd September we thought we'd put up the details of what you need to do with your stories and art.


Writers

Send your completed story to the following email address:

prosbigbang@gmail.com

Please use the following naming convention for the file:

prosbigbang_yourname_storytitle.doc

We're expecting that your draft is complete at this point, though you can definitely tweak before your posting date.


Artists

Please send the rough draft of your art to the same addresses above. It's not necessary to have completed art by this point (though that would be lovely) but we would like to know that you're on the way to finishing.


Writers and Artists

Since our next step is to create the posting schedule, please let us know if there are any dates that we should absolutely avoid giving you.

We want to make sure everyone has a date they're comfortable with, and one on which they can easily get their story or art up.

We’ll do our best to accommodate any requests, but we’d like everyone to appreciate that we're aiming to spread the stories out as evenly as possible throughout the month.


Next Steps

Once we have everyone's stories and art, we will be putting together the posting schedule. When that's done, we'll be sending everyone their posting date, along with details of how to create a post at [livejournal.com profile] ci5_boxoftricks with links to whichever location you’ve chosen to post your story and art to (LJ, Dreamwidth, The Automated Hatstand, AO3, etc).

And as a reminder if you do not wish to post to AO3 but would still like to make a downloadable version of your story available to your readers, we would ask that you be ready to submit a Rich Text Format file of your story. You will need to send this to us 2 or 3 days ahead of your posting date.


And that's it!

Drop us a line at the addresses above if you have any questions or issues.

Thanks once again to everyone for participating. We can't wait to see everyone's contributions to the challenge.

Oooh, it's all getting a bit real!

For me, I absolutely can't do the 25th October or the rest of October/first week November. I would ideally prefer to post before the 21st October. Cheers *g*

Isn't it though? *gibbers*

I should have something properly ready for you to peruse by the end of Sunday. Try to contain your excitement. *g*

I can pretty much post the art anytime, so I'll go along with whenever you can do.

I'M EXCITED \o/ Piccies! *bounces* Don't worry if it ends up being later than Sunday, though, because as we know I am entirely able to empathise with the 'currently less finished than I'd hoped' thing *g* Although I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with the fic, more or less *g*

I'm glad to hear you've got more posting flexibility - hopefully they'll be able to give us a mutually suitable date then *g*

Oooh, yay! *rubs hands together gleefully* I'm so looking forward to all the lovely stories and art.

I'm easy as far as posting date goes, it just depends upon what dates will work for my lovely artist.

Thanks for your note about your flexibility. I have so noted. It's indeed a time to look forward to much good art and fic.

So I don't forget: am pretty indifferent to posting dates. I guess it's up to L'artiste, in case she's got something happening next month.

...I'm sort of afraid I'm going to forget on the actual date to post it or something, though.

Thanks for the note re: posting dates. I've made a note. You won't forget because I have gremlins at the ready to handle any wayward memories.

Okay, now I'm REALLY afraid... :O

I can't do 29th Sept until 1th October. Every other date is fine.
Did we had to send art work drafts last BB? We did? Oh...
And you are really sure you WANT to see drafts? My art work is genuinely shy at this point *g*

From: [identity profile] sc-fossil.livejournal.com
Okay, duly noted. Thanks!

The only reason for sending art drafts is so that we can make sure the artist is heading towards completion. You still have time after that to work on it, of course, up to your posting day. :)

I absolutely cannot post anywhere between October 14th and October 17th -- my entire office is moving from the DC area to Dover DE, and I'm the one making sure everything gets to where it's supposed to be....

Hi, thanks for letting us know about the dates, we have made a note of that. Good luck with the office move, it sounds very stressful!
