Your snippets are due on Sunday, May 15th at 11:59pm CST, so we’re going to go ahead and start collecting them. This doesn't mean your story has to be complete right now (though you should have 80% of it done by June 19th), it just means we're collecting snippets for when your artist claims you.

What we need from you:

Author Name on AO3 or Fanfiction.net*
Livejournal/Dreamwidth Name
Story Title
Fandom
Pairings, Characters
Rating
Warnings (Violence, Non-Con/Dub-Con, Incest, Major Character Death, Etc)
Summary

*Your name will not be included on the claims post. This is for organizational purposes.

And three snippets which should be between 500-1000 words each. These will help your artist match the tone of your work, so try to pick excerpts that really encompass the tone and feeling of your story. Please include them directly in the body of the email. Please do not send attachments. Please include ALL of these things in your email with the subject [YOUR NAME] WIP BIG BANG SNIPPETS. Emails can be sent to wipbigbang@gmail.com.

To make it easier, here's a copy and paste-able textarea to put in your email:

AO3/Fanfiction.net Name: Livejournal/Dreamwidth Name: Story Title: Fandom: Pairings, Characters: Rating: Warnings: Summary: SNIPPET ONE: SNIPPET TWO: SNIPPET THREE:

Failure to send us snippets or an email by May 15th will NOT drop you from the big bang this year, but you will not receive art for your fic. If you are bringing in your own artist or would like to opt out of receiving art, please also let us know that if you haven’t already (thank you to those who have already talked to us about that!). You do NOT have to send snippets if you’re bringing an artist or opting out. This is, however, the last switch to change fics, so be sure to send us an email if you would like to do that.
