het_bigbangThe check-in is now closed! Everyone who has not checked in has been notified via email that they have been automatically dropped from HetBang 2019-2020.
If you have received this email and feel it is in error, please reply to the email to discuss! We’d be happy to let you continue if you contact us. =D
Our last mandatory check-in will be May 1st and posting instructions will be coming out around that time as well.
If you are a solo author and are not working with a fanworker, you’re free to drop out with no consequences.
If you are working with a fanworker or are a fanworker and need to drop out, please contact us ASAP to discuss. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re willing to be flexible, but we can’t help if we don’t know there’s a problem.
Authors, some things to keep in mind:
An Archive of Our Own account is required for authors. If you do not already have one, please get in queue ASAP: Archive of Our Own Invite Requests
If you are an author that was paired through the claiming process, we're past the no consequences point and dropping out could result in a ban. However, if something major in your life happens (sickness, injury, accident, etc.) please just let us know and there will be no consequences for dropping out. Anyone that doesn't contact us will be banned, as we can't know about a situation unless we're told.
If you are an author that is not paired up with a fanworker, there are no consequences for dropping out past this point.
If you do not have a beta reader already, you can check outhet_banghelp, which has a post set up for beta readers and authors seeking a beta. The HetBang Discord Server has a channel set up for finding a beta reader. There's also betaplease on DW, and for LJ, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
find_me_a_beta and beta_search.
If you still have some writing left to do, consider starting or joining a writing sprint on the HetBang Discord Server. We're going to be hosting a lot of sprints, and fanworkers are encouraged to join, to have some structured creating time with the group!
A note on beta-reading: You can choose the level of beta-reading you want, from hardcore story critiquing, to just a second pair of eyes for catching spelling and grammar errors. If you do not want to have your story heavily beta-read, this is fine! But please do get a second person to read through and help catch the spelling and grammar errors.
Fanworkers,
An Archive of Our Own account is required for fanworkers. If you do not already have one, please get in queue ASAP: Archive of Our Own Invite Requests If your fanwork would be difficult to post to Ao3, such as a vid, playlist, or gift set, please contact us ASAP, we can help you post or discuss alternatives. Almost all fanwork types will require off-site posting to be embedded into Ao3 and we can help with that.
If you are a fanworker that was paired through the claiming process, we're past the no consequences point and dropping out could result in a ban. However, if something major in your life happens (sickness, injury, accident, etc.) please just let us know and there will be no consequences for dropping out. Anyone that doesn't contact us will be banned, as we can't know about a situation unless we're told.
The minimum amount of accompanying fanworks per story is 1 piece. If you are a fanworker and choose to claim 3 stories, that means you will need to create 1 fanwork for each story, 3 total. Please contact us ASAP if something happens and you will not be able to complete all of your works!
If you have any questions or concerns, here is the Page-A Mod Post. You can also contact the mods via email, thehetbigbang@gmail.com, or by messaging LuciferxDamien or JesterLady on the HetBang Discord server.
