The Pros Big Bang Challenge Returns!

[przed.livejournal.com]

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, draycevixen, norfolkdumpling, saintvic, sc_fossil, 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, 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.

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!

It would be brilliant if you gave it a go.

There will definitely be motivators, naggers and cheerleaders to help you along the way. And heavies will come to visit if things are looking especially dire. ;-)

Well, I was right. *g* The thing is, if you wanted to write 200 linked drabbles nothing in the rules stops you... although they would have to be linked. :D

Sometime in the next week we'll be asking for feedback on minimum length based on suggestions we received at the end of last year's BB, so stay tuned.

Oh, and we have Macklin and Tower on call, just in case.
