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. :)

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. :)

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. ♥

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.

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 ♥

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.

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!

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

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

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!

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*

[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.

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

I'm looking forward to participating!

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