[admin] Artists and Vidders - Sign up, rules, and deadlines.

[zulu.livejournal.com]

Challenge Rules for Artists and Vidders
1. You agree to create at least one piece of art or a vid to accompany one of the Big Bang stories.
2. Art can be of any type you wish: orginal illustration, cover art, photo manip.
3. Art or Vid can be of any rating you choose, provided that it is not more than one rating higher than your chosen fic. For instance, if your fic is G, gen, you cannot make shippy art or rate higher than PG-13.
4. You will be able to post your artwork or vid at your livejournal or site after the challenge goes live. If you'd rather, we will host your art at the Big Bang site.
5. Art and vids may not be posted unlocked anywhere on the web, in whole or in part, before March 30, 2008. Posting to betas or regular small audiencing groups is excepted, but keep the numbers down.

Important Deadlines
1. You must sign up by February 15, 2008, when writers' first drafts are due. Yes, that's a long time in the future, but we'd really appreciate sign-ups sooner rather than later; also, we will be advertising this post again before the deadline.

2. On February 16 a list of story titles and summaries will be posted for you to claim as prompts on a first come, first served basis. Once you have claimed a prompt, you will be given the author's name and you will be able to review the story draft for additional inspiration.

3. The due date for completed artwork/vids is March 25, 2008. You must provide us with either a live link to the art or vid, or the art file itself in a photobucket compatible format.

4. Your art or vid will be included on the House Big Bang website starting March 30, 2008.

Email where we can reach you: Jenny V V at aol dot com
Just to get a sense of what you might create (this is NOT binding, but please speculate): vid manip or music video
Will you make art or a vid? Vid
Will you make your art/vid for gen, slash, het? All of the above
Can you make art/vids for House and House crossovers? I can if I have access to source material, but won't if it involves anyone underage (like House/Harry Potter)
Is there anything you absolutely won't make art for? see above

Just a quick technical question - I usually share vids by posting embedded links from YouTube, as I'm sure most other vidders do who don't own webspace, so how do we provide you with an exclusive live link? Is something like SendSpace acceptable? I think there's an option to keep vids on YouTube private or share them with friends, but those friends might have to have a YouTube account.

[zulu.livejournal.com]

Thanks for signing up! We'll be asking for Sendspace links or similar, yes. At this point we're hoping to host the vids for download on the archive, as well as linking to a streaming site such as YouTube or iMeem. This is slightly dependent on our technical ability, but that's what we're hoping. If anything changes, we'll be sure to let everyone know.

Great, you're on the list. The rules, of course, are in this post, and you can also take a look at the FAQ (http://community.livejournal.com/house_bigbang/3522.html), or of course email housebigbangmods@gmail.com or comment with questions you might have.

Artist/Vidder name: Audrey
Email where we can reach you: agente_fischer@yahoo.com.br
Just to get a sense of what you might create (this is NOT binding, but please speculate): I can work with photoshop, either cover art or photo manip.. just don't ask me to draw, I need to work with pics.
Will you make art or a vid? Art.
Will you make your art/vid for gen, slash, het? I'm honestly don't know what's het, I'm pretty new around lj and House fandom, but I can do gen and pairing House/Cameron. I took a look at the fanfictions, so far there aren't any House/Cameron only, so gen is fine too. Maybe even Cuddy/House, but I'll need a little help to get some pics, maybe the author can give me his/hers favorites to work with?
Can you make art/vids for House and House crossovers? Sure, but can the author maybe give me some working material for the other show in case I don't know it?
Is there anything you absolutely won't make art for? Slash and weird shippers.

[zulu.livejournal.com]

Hi! You're on the artists' list. You can definitely ask the author of the story if they'd like to contribute some inspiration to the art you end up making; just let me know and I'll send along the author's email address with the story that you pick.
