The [livejournal.com profile] het_bigbang 2012 will officially open for sign ups around May 1st. Unless I get an overwhelming negative reaction to the following poll, we will be hosting the final stories on AO3; the reason for this is: 1. It'll allow you guys to format your own fics and edit after the big bang goes live. 2. I can ensure no one releases their fics early, and it goes up simultaneously. 3. If we post fics on lj, it'll require multiple posts per fics, and organizing that for a single-moment reveal will be a headache. (Trust me on that.) Therefore, AO3 will be neat and simple. There will be plenty of time for those that do not have accounts on A03 to sign up.

The accompanying artwork, which is easier (since it'll likely be able to put up in one post for each artist), will be posted here or on the [livejournal.com profile] hbb_feedback comm. Unless there are objections to this? If so, drop a note here. ETA: Apparently, artwork as a standalone is accepted on A03 too. I was apparently confused about that.

Also, please note, I am going through the entire member's list for our support comm [livejournal.com profile] het_banghelp, and emptying out all participants because that list is last year's. When you sign up for this year, you can apply for membership again. I am thinking about limiting it to Authors and Artists only. Fill out the poll below so I can get your take. This comm was greatly, greatly helpful to a lot of people last year, but I'm always looking for ways to improve.

I am finalizing the rules soonish, before we officially open up sign ups. So if you've got anything to add, now's the time.

[Poll #1832965]

Also, are there any artists available for making promo banners and icons and whatnot? I need talented people!

Why, specifically, would the art be posted just here on LJ? AO3 allows multi-media posts, and you can link posts together with the remix/translation/inspiration feature. Not that I'm against it, since I post to LJ anyways, but it does seem odd to put art and fic on two different platforms? Just my two cents.

That's what I'm thinking as well. Either the artists can send the writers art, or the artists can get AO3 accounts as desired and put their art in separate entries.

Not the last time I checked. I posted my art for the last of these over there :)

I don't know about talented ::g:: but I did make a promo picture for my own 'yay!' post a couple of weeks back when I realised it was running again, and you're more than welcome to use it if you want.

It's this one:

I think I have time to make some promo banners. If there's a need for fandom-specific banners, I do know a few crime and sci-fi fandoms.

I am uncertain about participating again as an artist this year, because two works of art is a huge commitment for me. If the artist contribution was reduced to one piece, I'd feel more confident about signing up. My spare time is very limited, and I'd rather make one amazing painting than two mediocre ones.

I would be grateful if you'd consider this. If you still want two pieces per fic, perhaps allow two artists to chose each fic?

Just popping in to offer a suggestion; since some people are bound to be doing the 10k fics that don't have officially assigned artists, maybe you could offer to do a piece for one of their works? That way, you could still participate, but you wouldn't have to make the full commitment of two pieces :)

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll consider it, especially if I can finish my "big" fic pic with time to spare. :3

I think I recall that in the original post you made about this year's bang, you said that there would be a 25k+ option and a 10k+ option, but the 10ks wouldn't have art. If we find our own artist who is willing to do it, are we allowed to have art for 10k fics?

I, for one, would be very against being forced to host my Big Bang on AO3 if I didn't want to, in order to participate.

I can try to make a few banners and icons as well. Not sure how well they'll turn out, but I'll give it a shot. :)

Okay, so I stopped procrastinating and made some general icons and banners.
