Hello everyone! This will be the last week we do our weekly support comm posts on

het_banghelp, so that mods can focus on posting! Everyone is still welcome to make their own posts on the support comms, if they still need help, and our HetBang Discord server is always available for people to talk about their projects. We’ve also got bots to help you with sprinting, if you’ve still got some writing to do!

Date Claiming and the final Check-In are ongoing! Check out these posts, if you have not already claimed your date and filled out the Check-in survey!
Date Claiming Instructions
2022 HetBang Posting Schedule
Check-In #5 Survey Survey open through October 15th. Please fill this out, even if you have already claimed a date!

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.

Hello everyone! Now that we’re getting closer to posting, we’ve updated the

het_banghelp activity list. Our weekly posts will now include fanworkers and the editing process!

Updated Support Comm Activities

As a reminder, our next check-in will be September 1st, and it will be mandatory for both authors and fanworkers. After that will be our final check-in on October 1st, which will also be when date claims open! Posting will begin October 16th and run through November 19th. November 20th-30th will be the Amnesty Period, which is for any author or fanworker to post their work, if they missed their posting date!

After the September check-in is closed, mods will make a determination on the maximum number of stories that can be posted per day, starting with at least 2 per day. This is to help spread stories out!

Starting this year, chaptered posting is allowed. Authors can start posting their works on October 16th, and they have until their chosen posting date to have their work posted in its entirety. Posting before Sunday, October 16th is not allowed. Authors choosing to post chapters separately do not need to claim additional dates, just a final posting date when they intend to post their last chapter. Authors do not need to inform mods of their intended posting schedule, mods will only be checking for completed works based on the date claims.

Example:
Author A has 4 chapters to post and wants to update their fic twice a week. Author A will need to select a final posting date about 2 weeks after posting begins. Author A wants to post chapter updates Sundays and Wednesdays, and starts posting their story October 16th, followed by the 19th and 23rd. October 26th is the date they need to claim and is the date that mods will be checking their work for completion.

The May 17th deadline is on the horizon!!

For those of you who may be dangling on the fence trying to decide whether to sign up as an author or not, the deadline is looming ever closer. If it's a plot that's holding you up, head over to this post to leave a comment with possible ideas, and we'll set up a poll for others to help you decide, and you never know, someone may just plant another, possibly better idea. :D Everything is possible!

Don't forget to check out all the interesting story ideas that our LJ members have signed up to write!!

And for those of you who are debating if you even want to sign up for a BIG BANG, come on and give it a try! I sign up every year, and only finished a story the first time around, but I'm still going to try again. I figure that for me, the worst that will happen is that I don't get it done on time (again!). But hey, if you think you may have time to work on a story for us (and I know some people just have too much going on right now to even consider it), we do have a support group at

het_banghelp (open only to challenge participants) where you can find writing events and other posts designed to help you write your story (the schedule will go up soon), not to mention lots of people willing to cheer you on, so you may surprise yourself!

In the meantime, we could really use some help in getting the word out that we need more authors, artists, betas, and cheerleaders, so please consider pimping / sending out a signal boost to your friends and comms that allow this type of activity. The more people we get to participate, the more stories and artworks we get to savor!!

Oh, and you can find banners, icons and the codes at this post. And if you have any questions, please feel free to PM either

red_b_rackham, or me,

traycer, or leave a comment on the Page a Mod post. We're always happy to respond!! :)

Now that we have the Official List of Authors for 2016 I wanted to send out a reminder that we still have the het_banghelp support group for authors, artists, beta readers, and cheerleaders to congregate and support each other as we work or way toward that ever-looming deadline. It's a members-only comm, f-locked to only those that have officially signed up as authors/artists and betas/cheerleaders, so you have to join it in order to participate. (We empty it out prior to each big bang.)

Last year we had special writing and enabling events, like Snippet Days and Block Writing events, and we'd like to continue in that tradition, but we need someone who can step up to the plate and take on that job. To quote

irony_rocks from a prior year's rules of the comm:

The permanent schedule will be up shortly, but first, what I need is one special individual to step up to the plate, being ABSOLUTELY DILIGENT about following the scheduled (when it is established), and post these suckers up as the summer goes along. It is critical that this person be good with posting regularly and on time. I would appreciate the assist!

Anyone interested? :D

Here's a link to the entry that describes what we would like to see for each event.

Just a reminder that

het_banghelp is up and running, and we have several events lined up to help you all get those stories and artworks ready for the big reveal date. Events scheduled for the comm are Wednesday Block Writing and Sunday Snippets, as well as regular brainstorming posts designed to help you work out those sticky plot issues or to just sound off on problems encountered during the writing process. We also will be posting a few masterlists of resources for writers, authors, and betas to help with our projects (first one goes up in the support comm tomorrow), so if you have signed up for this big bang in any category go here to request membership.

Remember, the support comm is a moderated group, and you must join in order to see the event posts.

Hope to see you there!
