thorkibigbang: Hey there! Welcome to the first round of the Thorki Big Bang! Recently, some dedicated Thorki fans got their heads together and decided it was high time this fandom–one of the most creative and wonderful around–had a Big Bang event of its very own, and this is it, baby! Big Bangs challenge authors to write long pieces of fanfiction, and artists to create accompanying art for that fanfiction. This Big Bang is all about our favorite space vikings, Thor and Loki, and their love for each other. We think it’s gonna be great. How It Works There will be three kinds of sign-ups for this Big Bang: author sign-ups, beta sign-ups, and artist sign-ups.You can sign up for as many categories as you want - if you think you have it in you to write, art, and beta, you can sign up for all three. All sign-ups will happen at the same time, but beta claims and artist claims will happen further along. The signup links below redirect to our Dreamwidth, where we’ve decided to hold them for ease of access (keeping track of comments, etc. is much easier there!) AUTHOR SIGN-UPS Authors sign up to write a story of at least 15,000 words. If you know you want to write, but don’t know exactly what you want your story to be about yet, that’s ok - sign up anyway! We’ll have a prompt post where people can put up prompts and discuss ideas. Authors will get around five months to write their fics. Along the way, we’ll ask authors to check in periodically with word counts, and at some point a summary submission and a rough draft submission (rough drafts should be approximately 50% of the finished work). BETA SIGN-UPS Betas sign up to beta works and to provide cheerleading and encouragement to the authors. Authors may choose to work with their own beta, or to have a beta assigned to them by the mods. Mods will match authors with betas and send out e-mails a few days after the first author check-in. ARTIST SIGN-UPS Artists sign up to collaborate with an author. Once the authors submit their summaries, mods will post them anonymously for the artists to claim. If there are more authors than artists, artists may claim more than one story. We will put out more information about the claiming process when artist claims draw near. Artists get around two months to create their works. Authors must send their WIPs to artists for collaboration. For posting, authors can post on AO3, LJ or Dreamwidth. Please avoid posting on tumblr because of “read more” issues. Artists can post to tumblr, deviantart, LJ, or Dreamwidth. Fics and artwork must link to each other. Fics and artwork must not be posted anywhere until the author’s posting date.
