[admin] Reminder Post

Hi, participants!

Writers

The writers' portion of the challenge is drawing to a close. This is a reminder that all Final Drafts are due on Saturday, February 7, by 11:59 PM Mountain Standard Time. That gives you four more days with your edits, writers! You are always welcome to hand in your final drafts early if they're finished.

Once you've submitted your final draft, the mods will be creating a very basic html file of your story for you to read over for typos one last time. All typo-approving must be finished by February 15. If you do not contact the mods with any typo problems before that date, we will assume that there are no problems with your final draft, and it will be placed in the archive.

Congratulations to those writers who have already handed in their drafts! Please join me in a round of applause.

Artists

The artists' portion of the challenge is about to begin! Artists' sign-ups continue until February 7. The post is here. On February 8, the first round of artist selection begins. A post will be made on the community with the headers and a brief excerpt from each story. Artists will choose their first and second choice stories and comment to claim them. First come, first served! The mods will reply to your comment to let you know which story you've been assigned. Please be flexible if you do not get your first choice. Also, if there is enough interest, a second round of artist selection will occur, so you will have another opportunity to pick your first-choice story.

Once you have been assigned a story, the mods will send you the final draft so that you can read it for inspiration. You will then have a month to create art. The art should be submitted to the mods as outlined in the FAQ.

If you have any questions, please read the FAQ, comment here, or email the mods at housebigbangmods@gmail.com.

Good luck, writers! And welcome, artists!

February 7th is Saturday. Should we have them in by Saturday or on Friday the 6th? I just want to make sure I have the right dates!

Thanks!

No problem, I just wanted to double check! :)
Thanks so much!

Congrats to the three writers above! :D

Hoping to join them later this week, but first I have a question about html. After reading the FAQ's I was srsly confused and intimidated about the conversion. Your post above sounds like it's not that critical to send it in that way. A word doc like the previous draft is okay and will not cause you too much inconvenience?

Thank you! I'll still give html a shot before sending my fic off to you.

Dude. Look at all the artists! How awesome!

Also, yay to my fellow earlybirds. And good luck to everyone else! *waves banner*
