Cap_Ironman Big Bang!

[valtyr]

Hi all! After the success of the Reverse Big Bang, we think it's time to run another Big Bang. A not-reversed one.

This would follow the standard format of writers writing, submitting a summary, and then artists claiming summaries to do art for. Then, artists, uh, arting, and then they pick a post date and post on it.

The fics would be expected to follow the guidelines for fic posted to this comm - to wit, "Just be sure that in fics, Steve and Tony are one of your main pairings or at least very prominent characters." Gen fics about Steve and Tony are accepted, but fics that focus on Steve and Tony in other ships are not. A fic about how Steve and Tony rebuild their friendship after Avengers Prime, with background Steve/Sharon, is fine, but a fic about how Steve and Sharon rebuild their relationship with Tony in the background is not.

Projected timeline:

April 10: Author sign-ups open.
April 30: Author sign-ups close.
May, June, July: writers write.
July 31st: Drafts and summaries due.
August 1st: Summaries posted for artists to claim, and mod emails draft and puts artist and author in touch.
August: Artists art
August 31st: Artist and author pair pick posting date in September
September: Fics and art posted, much rejoicing.

I thought an artist sign-up wasn't really necessary? Just, artists show up and pick?

Anyway, the reason I'm posting this early is to get general comm input on whether the timeline works, whether there are any colossal flaws in the plan, etc. Also, how long should the minimum wordcount be? 20k? 30k? 50k? Tell me your thoughts. If I don't get anyone's thoughts, I'll have to use my own, and then we will all be sorry.

The draft is just to prove you have actually done a fic, so I can relax a bit. :) I post the summaries, and artists bag them.

Is there a limit on the lengthy of the summary? Because there's a difference between a tiny FF.net summary and, um, something that would actually scratch the surface of what I've got going on.

Usually there is, but it's more space than ff.net gives you.

Dunno how much space FFnet gives you, but you can have a few hundred words no problem, which I hope will be enough. :)

Considering FF.net lets people have a 300 character limit, a couple hundred words sounds like all the space in the world. Thanks! :D
