Hello, everyone! I can't believe that we're already in August! Before you know it September 1st (and the start of Round FIFTEEN of Small Fandoms Bang) will be here! I wanted to let everyone know for sure that we're a go this year, and reiterate the most important dates for the next couple of months:
Sept 1: Author Sign-Ups Open
Nov 1: Artist Sign-Ups Open (And First Author Check-In)
(For all of the important dates, please see the full schedule on the
profile or in the
FAQ.)
Participation on DW: A reminder that, even though we’re running this challenge exclusively on DW now, you don’t need to have a DW account to participate here. We currently encourage people to participate from many different platforms using OpenID and that will continue. If you don't have a DW account you may still comment to the sign-up post(s), check-in posts, etc with OpenID. So whether you participate from LJ or Tumblr or someplace else, you are still welcome and able to play in this small fandom sandbox, and I sincerely and wholeheartedly hope that you will continue to do so.
Something I learned in a previous round is that, while you can ‘participate’ in a community with OpenID (ie, comment to entries), you CANNOT post to the community. You are still welcome to participate, just know that you will need to have someone else post your fic/art submission on your behalf when that time comes. I am happy to do so, but you may also ask your author/artist counterpart to do so. I’m very sorry for this hiccup.
If you have any comments about the last round, or questions/suggestions for the coming round, please feel free to leave them in a reply to this post. (Comments will be screened.)
If you'd like to pimp us out before we go live, just c&p the text from the textbox to share this banner:
The 10,000-word big bang for small fandoms is coming soon!
