[admin] Round Two Timeline

Welcome, potential participants! The Official Round Two Big Bang Timeline is as follows:

August 19 - September 1: Writers' sign-up period; artist sign-ups begin.
September 1: Writing begins.
November 1: Halfway point.
January 7: Complete draft of stories are due.
February 7: Final drafts [edited, betaed, word-perfect] are due; artists' sign-up ends.
February 7 - February 15: Artists choose stories.
February 15 - March 15: Artists create art.
March 15: Artists' submissions are due.
March 25: Archive opens.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. The complete draft must be a finished story and it must meet the 20 000 word minimum. The final draft has been betaed, spell-checked, looked over for typos and is the draft that will appear on the archive.

2. We hope that writers and artists will have an opportunity to view their stories before the archive opens, to check for typos or HTML issues. This MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE, but the mods will not be correcting any typos in the final drafts, so we will ATTEMPT TO OFFER THIS OPPORTUNITY.

3. This year, stories will be posted ONE AT A TIME, one story every three to four days, beginning with the first final draft received and ending with the last final draft received. The first story and its art will be posted on March 25, and the posting will continue until all stories have been shown.

4. All questions and/or concerns will be gratefully received either as comments to this entry or as email to housebigbangmods@gmail.com.


Our next post will be on August 19, when sign-ups begin. We look forward to hearing from you then!

THIS IS SO EXCITING

*is excited but has no idea what to write*

Indeed, that is exactly how I got my idea last time!

I still get comments on my bigbang fic, you know - had an absolutely terrific one just this week.

A whole month to edit! And one story posted at a time! I like these changes. *thumbs up*

Um. Hypothetically, am I would you be allowed to sign up with the story I you didn't finish finish in time for last year's big bang?

I'm sorry, but I can't work out exactly where I'm meant to sign up, but I'd like to sign up as an artist so please put me down. I'm happy to work on any genre. If this is the wrong bit, or I am too early - please point me in the right direction and I'll pop over there.

So I have a question -- can we have a re haul of our draft between December and March? I only ask because I know that I cannot start writing until November 5 (because of my job) but I am going to have all of November and December off to write, so theoretically, I can work this all out.

Aaaah-aha, that's doable.

SO EXCITED!

...Terrified. But excited!

You guys are so awesome for doing this again (especially so soon!)

[identity profile] savemoony.livejournal.com 2008-08-19 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, but, why can't we work on the story in March? It's not like the artists are going to create graphic novels off the work.

I see you're point; regardless, those are not my concerns. My concern is that I'm going to write 20,000 words. I want that to be the best story possible if I'm going to spend all that time writing and rewriting it. It might get finished in February. I might reread it March only to realize I made a grave error. You're telling me I cannot tweak my story because your having technically difficulties? You intend to post one story every three days. That means you will post everything over nearly a month period. That's plenty of time for you to work out whatever kinks you might have.
