Sorry for the delay in posting here; it's been a Week and it's only Monday. But the form is open and sign-ups are officially open! Individual fandom advertising is up on the Tumblr, but this is open to any fandom as well as original fiction. The general banners are below the cut and can be hotlinked if you would like to advertise on our behalf.

I hate to do this, but I may have to postpone the start of the regular bang until May 1st. The shelter I'm at doesn't currently have wifi, and we only get to stay here for 30 days, so I'm going to have to focus all my energy on working with my caseworkers and getting housing by April. That doesn't leave me much time to do the advertising I had hoped to do.

We would definitely extend everything by an extra month, so you'd have the same amount of time to write and make art as usual. But yeah. I didn't want to do it but realistically I just can't start doing the bulk of the advertising until I get steady wifi and some free time to sit and go through the banners and Wikis and stuff to tag for each fandom as much as possible. I'll try and start next week and just space it out more as best I can.

So it is officially after midnight for me and is now November 16th, which means that officially, posting is closed and if I feel up to it I'll pull up all the fic and art and make a masterlist of works for the round to post (and pin) on Tumblr, and also crosspost to Dreamwidth.

Unofficially, however, posting can continue until December 31st, 2023. Just submit your bragging rights when you're done to either Tumblr or Dreamwidth and I'll edit both masterposts to add your art or fic. If you dropped your fic officially and think maybe you can finish it in a month and a half, you're welcome to try and finish it and post your bragging rights as well! A lot of people dropped before we extended it into November or before we allowed extended posting unofficially.

Once the post goes up, I'll look at all fic that doesn't have art and all the fics I grabbed which I haven't done yet and give some to pinch hitters who have offered to help. Mod Vtusion on Discord has offered to take a bunch, so fingers crossed we can get all the pinch hitter art up by December 31st (art pinch hitters are exempted from the deadline, however...they can post whenever they finish even after December 31st).

It's been a long hard road for many of you, and if you did finish before today, give yourself a pat on the back and raise a toast with the celebratory drink of your choice. If you haven't finished yet, just remember you have about a month and a half and we're all rooting for you.
 
 
So it's looking like adding posting into November seems the most popular option. I'll add extra slots to the posting date sign ups as soon as I can but for now, posting will go until November 15th.

So currently I am once again without a working laptop, and I'm $550 overdrawn at the moment so it's going to take a little while to get it looked at.

That being said, I am going to be really late posting art, and we have a ton of people asking for extensions with most of the emergency dates being snagged. So we can do two things, and I'd like some opinions. We can either add four more slots each day for the last week of posting, giving us 27 extra slots (October 31st has five posters already), or we can extend posting an extra two weeks into November, giving us 56 extra slots. Do you all have a preference?

I was away from my laptop at 9 PM but I have now closed the form and will be adding the last few date claims shortly. Get ready for posting time! As soon as I find the guide from last year on how to post your bragging rights on your posting day, I'll post it on Dreamwidth and spread the links to all the WIPBB platforms.

The Google form is up on the Posting Claims form! Please leave your top three choices for dates and hopefully I will get to start adding them Monday the 24th.
 
 
23 July 2023 @ 07:58 am
Okay. Posting claims (where you pick the date you want to post) are going up tonight, hopefully. I've been really exhausted the last few days because of the heat in my area, so I may put up the form and the date listings and slot people in early Monday.

Anyone who has me (Mod Ragna/afteriwake) as an artist can pick a date in late September/early October and get it with preference, as I'm doing art for about 40 fics, and I'm not really differentiating on ones I claimed and ones that were unclaimed, so I'm going to start making the art once I start getting posting dates settled so I have deadlines.

Writers & artists, please communicate with each other on posting dates! It's not mandatory but if your artist is doing something intricate they may need more time, and we're more than willing to give it to them. remember posting starts August 8th, but goes all the way through to October 15th without dipping into the emergency dates, so there are plenty of times to choose from.

We will have four slots open a day for people to grab, so hopefully most people will get their first choices. The list of dates will go up in a few minutes on Dreamwidth, so everyone can see exactly which dates are available, and the form to sign up should hopefully go up tonight (the internet has been wonky at the safe parking site where I sleep), but if it's not up tonight I will put it up early tomorrow morning.

Sorry I didn't get it up last night; there wasn't reliable wi-fi where I sleep at night. But it's up now! Please click the link below to go to the form, fill it out and check in! Check-in form stays live until June 29th.

Since a lot of people seem to be misinformed about snippets submissions, or real life is getting the better of them this week, I'm going to extend the submissions deadline to June 10th. That gives everyone five more days to submit snippets for fics you want art for. Remember, if you don't want art or you are bringing in your own artist/doing art for yourself, you DO NOT have to fill out the submissions form.
 
 
31 May 2023 @ 08:04 pm
(Posting it an hour early because I have laundry to do)

It's time for snippets collection! The form is live; you only need to fill out each section as best you can. Each snippet must be at least 500 words and ideally a maximum of 1,500 words. If you're a little over or under that's fine, but no one-sentence snippets this round, please. Remember, the snippets are just in case your artist can't read the fic.

https://forms.gle/ft6kNkpiqVPWmbrZ8
 
 
I figured I would explain this a little bit just in case there's still confusion about it. We're going to possibly make changes next round, but for now we're keeping things as usual since it's so close to the actual submissions process.

1 - WHAT SNIPPETS ARE: Basically, what the submission are are three sections of your fics, between 500 and 1500 words (please make sure you hit the minimum, and if you go a little over the maximum that's fine) each that best represent sections you would like to have made into art. This is just in case your artist can't read your whole fic.

2 - WHAT WILL BE INCLUDED ON THE FORM: The snippets are only part of the form. Each fic will have a header that will be posted for the artists to choose from (we couldn't include snippets in the posts because Dreamwidth has post word limits and I'd need to make, like, ten posts to host all the pieces and the snippets; we had 227 responses to check in #2 so I'm pretty sure I'll have to make multiple posts this round for all the art, and the fewer I have to make the less confusing it is for artists). It will have the title, the rating, AO3 content warnings, a space for other warnings (both serious and fun), a summary and any authors notes you include for the artists to be aware of.

3 - HOW ART CLAIMS WORK EXACTLY: When I post the list of headers, they're listed first alphabetically by fandom (numbers first, then A - Z, then symbols), and then in each fandom alphabetically by title. Each header is given a number that the artists will submit in a form as their choice in fic.

Normally it's done with 1 choice in round 1, 2 choices in round 2, 3 choices in round 3 and as many more as an artist can handle in round 4, with each round lasting a week. We may switch it up a little this round because we're looking at having twice as many works as last year, so artists could conceivably pick 2 choices in round 1, 3 in round 2, and as many as they can handle in a two week long round 3.

Once an artist has chosen their fic(s), I double check that it's still available (fics are claimed on a first come, first served basis) and send an email to the author with the artist's name and email address, and I also send an email to the artist with the author's name, email address and the snippets.

If an artist reads the snippets and decides they can't do the story, I but the fic back into claims and send the author an email letting them know. This happens very rarely during art claims; usually it's between claiming and posting when artists let us know they're unable to complete the work. In that case, I will make a cover and a wallpaper for the fic.

Any fics left unclaimed at the end of claim rounds is offered a digital fic cover and wallpaper from Mod Ragna, no matter the fandom or rating (please note that I will try to fins someone else who can do non-con/dubcon fics, as they are triggering to me...I had an instance a few rounds back where it wasn't warned for and let's just say I had a bad week after I read the fic). I may bring back my form that users fill out with favorite colors, patterns, images they want used, etc. as I'm expecting quite a few more fics to make art for this round.

Hopefully that helps explain the process a little more. If you have any other questions, ask in the "mod questions" channel in Discord, send an ask on Tumblr or send the mods an email.

I am finding a lot of instances where people have signed up and aren't on the spreadsheet. I have no idea what happened on Google's end of things, but if you message the mods and I tell you I can't find your info, please give it to me again and I'll input it into the spreadsheet by hand. As for now, if you entered information into the form, assume you're participating.
