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 ♥

Hello! I'm Shen. Myself and mcgooglykins are in the process of working out a mini big bang called Merlin Whizzbang Challenge for June/July. We were planning to have a minimum word count of 3,500, with a goal of 10,000 words. We're still in the planning stages, but it would be awesome if we could all join up and work this thing out together.

Obviously I'll see your reply to this, but if you want to reach us privately, we're shenniefish and mcgooglykins @gmail.com respectively.

I think a mini Big Bang is a great idea for those who don't feel able to write a longer fic, and I wish you all the best of luck with it! I think that a lot of people who responded to the earlier poll I posted would like to still try and participate in a lengthier Big Bang if possible, though I see no reason why the two challenges (yours and ours) can't co-exist, and therefore cover everyones needs =)

Perhaps when we're both up and running we could affiliate or something?

Speaking of affiliations, you might want to also pair up with merlinbb_rpf, a BB that just opened for RPF since the last BB wasn't allowing them unless they were crossovers. Their writers min. wordcount is also 20k, so I think you 3 would all really fit well together.

Okay, thank you =)

Okay, awesome. I'm going to try and kill myself and do both, but I am quite obviously mad.

It would be awesome if we could affiliate. We're over at whizzbangpop.

You're going to sign up and write on ours too? GOOD LUCK!

Affiliation would be lovely, I'll go add you now on the profie. Our comm has just launched and is called paperlegends so you're happy to affiliate back?

[womance.livejournal.com]

I'm going to give it a shot, anyway. Or at least sign up to be a cheerleader. :D

Yes, of course! I'll add you now.

This might be more my speed than 20-25k, so I might be interested in a mini big bang.

Oh, that's awesome. We're over at whizzbangpop, but there isn't a whole lot up over there yet. It shouldn't be too long, though.

Thanks. I put it on my f-list to watch.
