What with posting beginning in under a week, it's time to say a few words about the collection at AO3. These will be much the same words that we have said in previous years.

You are not required to post your story/art to AO3, but we encourage you to do so. It lets us have a central location for all of the Big Bang fanworks, and also, as you probably know, all stories are easily downloadable in e-reader friendly formats; this is particularly nice for your fellow fen with health issues or those who just plain love their e-readers.

The collection for the current year is Pros Big Bang 2015. (Previous years' collections are accessible here.)

[livejournal.com profile] sineala wrote up a little guide for how to post to AO3 for the Big Bang; the same directions apply, except that you'll want to make sure you're in the 2015 collection this year.

A couple of reminders:

1. In case anyone still doesn't have an AO3 account who wants one, let us know; we still have invite codes. Alternatively, the wait time for invites is currently under 24 hours.

2. If you have stories/art from previous years that you have not yet posted to the AO3, we have left the previous collections open for exactly this reason. Feel free to add your Big Bang story or art to the appropriate year's collection.

3. If you are planning to post in HTML rather than Rich Text, and (a) you are reasonably conversant with the features of your word processor and (b) that word processor is OpenOffice (it's free!), it may interest you to know that Astolat has a set of OpenOffice macros for formatting italics/bold/etc and turning your story into HTML suitable for copying into a LJ or AO3 post.

Happy posting! Let us know if you have any questions and we will attempt to confuse you further. :D

*waves hello*

A two part post for you all this week. And the first part is as always the chance to check in and chat! So let us know how you are getting on this week. Have you added more words? Are you waiting for inspiration for that key scene? Is the music for your vid being difficult? Have you found the perfect pics for your manip? Or are you once more planning that escape to an exotic island :)

And to help with the checking in have some lads:



So now moving on to the second part of the post which is a reminder that this year we will once again have a Pros Big Bang collection on AO3.

You are of course NOT required to post your stories and art to AO3 but it has the benefits of automatically creating story downloads in a variety of formats and allowing us to gather the stories and artwork into a Pros Big Bang collection on the site.

Therefore if you have no AO3 account and would like an invitation code please contact us at the Pros Big Bang email address (prosbigbang@gmail.com) and we'll organise one for you.

The new collection for this year will be located here: Pros Big Bang 2015.

If you would like to browse through the previous years collections you can see them all here: Pros Big Bang Collections.

And finally if you would like to add your story/art for prior Pros Big Bangs to previous years’ collections it is very simple to do so. Just open your story in edit and scroll down to the “associations section.” Where it says “post to collections/challenges” enter either Pros_Big_Bang_2010, Pros_Big_Bang_2011, Pros_Big_Bang_2012, Pros_Big_Bang_2013 or Pros_Big_Bang_2014 depending on which year’s collection you’re adding your story to and be sure to save your changes.
