Merlin big bang challenge.

[the_muppet]

I've been trying to contact the maintainers of boxofmagic through email and PM's to find out if it's running this year but have had no reply from any of them.

I'm still hopeful that one of them will reply and that boxofmagic itself will run this year, but if not, would anyone here be interested if I set up another Merlin fic big bang challenge community?

Just generally really asking what support there would be for such a community and what interest there would be in participating. So am going to include a poll below and also leave this post open so that those of you who are interested in this idea - in whatever capacity - could perhaps ask their own flists to consider this and then point them in the direction of the poll. So feel free to please ask your own flisters if they're interested and ask them to vote too so we can get a better idea if this is wanted or not; thank you =)

What I absolutely do not want to do is tread on anyone's toes here, and obviously what would make me happiest is if boxofmagic itself ran again this year. However if that can't happen for whatever reason, I'd like to try and enable some kind of Merlin big bang challenge to take place if I can.

True, I guess it depends on what the_muppet comes up with. But, we can make it optional as to where you post your work. Like, I'd be posting mine over at DW, because I no longer post here at LJ. So - yeah. We'll have to wait and see.

I like that. I think that's really clever. Cause ultimately the writer/artist should be happy as to where their stuff is and the reader can make that choice to read it or not at that location.

Yes, exactly. I didn't like having to go to a separate site for boxofmagic - plus, I also didn't like the set up they used for it. It was confusing.

Extremely. I remember having to click some weird link at the site to take me to LJ post that pointed me back to the site where the art was AND LJ was down at the time.

OMG YES - I remember that. I think I only commented on 2 or 3 stories because of that.

Exactly, so if my idea is workable (which it should be) then everyone would be happy.
