Some Notes + Poll  
 There's only about a week left of the bang for this year! I hope everyone is working very hard to put the finishing touches on their fics/art. For now I have several very important notes/reminders, as well as a poll that I would really appreciate if everyone would leave their thoughts on it.

Notes/Reminders

- With the bang so close to being over, there are unfortunately many people whose posting dates have passed and they have not posted their fics/art. These dates are NOT suggestions. Please submit your post on your day, the earlier the better so I have time to approve it. You don't even have to wait until your day to submit, you can submit early and we will queue it to post on your day.

  • If your posting date has passed, please go ahead and post asap and I will approve them when I have a chance. Anything submitted after August 22nd will be rejected.

  • If you can't post to LJ for some reason, email me your posting information and I will post it for you.

  • If you will be unable to post your completed fic, please email me to drop out before your posting day so I can update my schedule.

  • If you will be unable to post your completed art, please email me asap so I can find a pinch hitter.

- We have a WIP Big Bang 2016 collection on AO3 that you are welcome to post your works to.

Please check out your fellow participants' fics and art and leave a comment if you can! They've worked really hard on their big bang pieces (just as you have!), and everyone loves a bit of positive feedback :)

- Artists, if you are not posting your own bragging post, PLEASE make sure to let me know so I can mark you off my list when your author posts.

- If you're not an LJ native or forget to check the comm regularly, we have several other social media accounts we crosspost to to keep you updated! Also, you are welcome to submit your bragging post to any of these as well as the LJ, but you MUST submit to the LJ.
As always, if you have any questions or problems, please feel free to email or PM me!

Poll

This is my second year running the bang and I've seen an unfortunate pattern of authors claiming a date to post their fic and never posting or artists claiming a fic and never returning contact or posting anything. This can be very frustrating for me and I know it can be very frustrating for those of you left hanging. I've been thinking for a while about implementing some sort of banning system for people who default like that, but I wanted to see what all of you thought.

WIP Big Bang should implement a banning system
 
 
 

A person should be banned for...

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A person should be banned after...

 
 
 
 

Being banned should last...

 
 
 
 

If you have anything else you'd like to share about this proposition, please leave a comment here (they are NOT screened) or send me an email. And if you have experience with keeping a banned users list for a bang/exchange/whatever and would be available for some questions, please let me know!

The poll isn't working from Dreamwidth, you have to go to LJ for it to work.
