Merlin big bang challenge

[the_muppet]

As a follow-on from this poll I have now heard from the mod over at boxofmagic and sadly it will not now be running this year.

I am in the process of trying to set something up - either taking over boxofmagic (awaiting mod permission) or setting up a different Big Bang comm - so if anyone is still interested please let me know! I don't have the time right now to cross-post this information and I want to get things running ASAP so feel free to spread the word and link to this post for now if anyone has any input they'd like to share.

Also feel free to leave any ideas & suggestions here, including a new community name in case we need to start from scratch; thank you ♥


EDIT: You new Merlin Big Bang challenge is being set up right now and will hopefully be launched on Friday; thank you ♥

Thanks for taking this on. :) It would have been a shame if there was no Big Bang this year - there can never be enough Merlin fic out there. The longer, the better. :) I'd like to participate, but it's a bit daunting since I haven't done this before. We will see...

Thank you again for organizing this. :)

Well it's a bit daunting setting it up and running it (and in such a short timeframe too) having never done a Big Bang before - so I'm sure you could participate!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

You make me laugh so much and for that I thank you!

I'm so glad you'll be signing up for it... but deadlines? You?

*snickers*

I'm stoked to hear that it's going to actually be happening. I'm sure you've probably had more offers of help than you need, but I'm certainly willing if you need the extra help. Otherwise, I'll be looking forward to writing. :)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much, and I'm glad to hear you'll be signing up as a writer ♥

[slashweaver.livejournal.com]

I'm really glad this is working out. And it sounds like you've got all the help you need! But you know where I am if you need mine as well. ♥

Thanks so much hon ♥

And although it's probably incredibly vain for me to say it, thank you for using that icon as it's one of my absolute favourites =)

*hugs muchly*

Here by way of MerlinxArthur and wanted to say I'm so glad there's going to be a Big Bang, so thank you so very much for organising it. I can only look forward to the number of long stories this will give birth to...

Depending on circumstances and minimum word limit, I'd also like to participate.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much and I hope you'll be able to participate; minimum word count will be 20,000 and we should have the community up and open for sign-ups within a couple of days =)

DUDE! EPIC! You are awesome, my dear! Completely awesome :D

I'm a little scared to sign up now, considering I'm in the middle of writing another fic that's going to be insanely long and probably take the next several months to completely. Buuuuuut, if the world count is dropped a bit, I think I can probably handle both at the same time! Count me in :D

And thank you SO MUCH for spear-heading this one, darling ♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Slightly daunting but i was determined it would happen! Minimum word count will be 20,000 and we should have the community up and open for sign-ups within a couple of days so I hope you'll be able to participate ♥

Also - I know I'm a bad flister lately; same things I told you about in the email I sent previously, and I apologise.

I'm totally in for a Merlin Big Bang challenge. I'm wrapping up two Big Bangs right now and my life is feeling a little incomplete.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

That's fantastic! Community should be up and running within a couple of days =)

[lilithilien.livejournal.com]

You are so awesome to take this on, darling! Sounds like you've got a lot of interesting ideas here about how to run it and I can't wait to see what happens. I wish you all the luck in the world with it!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for your support hon ♥

[piscaria.livejournal.com]

That is so fantastic! I definitely want to sign up!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Great! We should have the community up and open for sign-ups within a couple of days so I hope you'll be able to participate =)

[prfctdaze.livejournal.com]

Very exciting news! That's awesome you're stepping in after they've decided they aren't going to do boxofmagic this year. Wishing you the best of luck, sweetie! I'm sure it will be a smashing success :D

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much hon ♥

[inane-rational.livejournal.com]

I'd partcipate as a writer! I'm happy to hear it'll be running this year. I imagine this will be a lot of work, so thanks for it!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Great! We should have the community up and open for sign-ups within a couple of days so I hope you'll be able to participate =)

[morcalivan.livejournal.com]

Do want! I am definitely all over this as a writer and 20k is the perfect length for me. Will keep an eye out for when the comm goes live.

*insert super excited flaily hands*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

That's brilliant, and thank you =)

Should go live within the next couple of days ;)

[loki-dip.livejournal.com]

I heartily approve of this. *g*

If you need a hand - I've had some experience with running challenges and Bigbangs, or if you just need someone to vent to about it.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much =)

Everything is pretty much done and I think we're almost ready to launch comm =)

[zinkini.livejournal.com]

Wow, this is amazing. Thank you so much for all of your hard work.

I'm looking forward to participating!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Hoping it will be up and running today =)

[ansku]

Looks like I was a bit late spotting this, do tell if you still want to spread the word :)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thanks sweetie ♥

Keep your eyes open as we're hoping to get the comm launched today, if you'd still like to help spreading the word =)
