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 ♥

This is wonderfully detailed; thank you.

We'll be opening up a sort of consultation for all artists to see just how they want their part of the BB to run, so hopefully we'll be able to please (at least) most people in the end!

I'll be looking forward to that consultation, then, and will pimp it on drawmelot if it's okay with you.

An idea I'd like to throw out now: the format of ladiesbigbang is new but appealing, in that writers and artists (and other types) are all equal, yet can still get complementary works done for them. It's a very interesting concept, like mixing the traditionnal Big Bangs (what box of Magic was last year) with Reverse Big bangs (like trekreversebang, were art comes first and fics are written for it). It seems like a pleasant solution for all and would allow some writers to sign up later if they aren't ready now, if it's something you could see.

It's an interesting idea and we'll have to check it out in more detail when we've got all the initial stuff up and running.

Look forward to your input in the consultation and thanks for your ideas and suggestions so far =)

Hey,
sorry to bother you again, but I had a quick question and wasn't sure where to post it at the comm: about the artist consultation, did you have a date in mind for when you were planning on holding it? For personal curiosity and so I might update the pimping post at Drawmelot.

Thank you!

We aren't entirely settled on when and how long yet, but will most likely be shortly after writer-sign-ups close =)
