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 ♥

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.

Thanks so much =)

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

Cool, well the offer stands if you need it.

I'm sure you guys will do great. ;p If it's a realistic word count I'll be signing up!

It's 20,000 minimum.

Ouch. Pass then, not got time for that many. And I find that the plot can often suffer at that length unless you're really talented (which I am not!) Plus, I work 80 odd hours a week which eats into writing time and the WC bigbang is only 10k min. Not to mention reel_merlin. *shifty*

Still, shall cheer on everyone else!

That's a shame though totally understandable.

Good luck with reel_merlin, I'm really looking forward to reading them =)

Thanks for the offer too; as you already run a BB I'll know where to come when I need to yell and scream! Which I'm hopeful won't happen, but I'm sure it will at some point.

Just a question: do you allow people to pimp their communities at all on reel_merlin and if so, would you allow me to pimp our BB comm either tonight or tomorrow? If the answer is no, that's totally fine, just thought I'd ask =)

[loki-dip.livejournal.com]

Such is life. ;p

Me too! And hopefully even writing one. *facepalms*

Yup - I suspect Merlin is going to be bigger too, so you may need it.

We don't have a rule about it because in all the years we've been doing it no-one's asked! But sure, join the comm and I'll give you posting access (probably in the morning though because this connection is so dodgy and I don't want to go to the library on the way home tonight.)

That's really cool of you, and thank you ♥

I'm already a member! I love your comm!

Just email me and let me know when it's okay for me to post: muppet@paper-packages.com

Thanks again =)
