We're back!

After having a second fabulous year, with 16 writers and 16 artists producing nearly 600,000 words of Pros fanfic and a ton of art in all different media, we're gearing up to start our third (third!) Pros Big Bang Challenge.

We're hoping that Pros fandom will once again rise to the challenge and produce lots of lovely long fic and beautiful art for the enjoyment of all the fandom.

We're welcoming back all of last year's modding crew, [livejournal.com profile] draycevixen, [livejournal.com profile] norfolkdumpling, [livejournal.com profile] saintvic, [livejournal.com profile] sc_fossil, [livejournal.com profile] sineala, and yours truly. We're also very excited to announce that after taking a well-earned year off, one of the BB's founding mothers, [livejournal.com profile] callistosh65, has returned as a mod.

We'll be putting up the details of the challenge soon, as well as requesting the input of community members on minimum word count, but in the meantime we'd like you all to spread the word and get ready for what we're hoping will be another enjoyable journey.

Oh My! It's a strange feeling, a heady mix of nervous excitement, paranoia and a complete lack of confidence!! So why do we do it? Cos it's a truly wonderful challenge to be part of, with the best cheerleading section this side of Cowley's office. Roll on BB3!!!

I haven't been in fandom long enough to participate in the other years, so I'm REALLY excited that maybe I can this year. There's so much talent floating around here~! :)

Oooo. Thinking carefully about this one. Never done a long fic before. (Was it Draycevixen who pointed out that 20,000 words was only 200 drabbles?) Do you provide motivators and naggers and people who will send in the heavies if things aren't happening?

But yay for BB being back, and thanks to all who make it happen!
