FAQ

What is the WIP Big Bang?

Do I need a Livejournal/Dreamwidth/AO3/etc. account to participate?

No! You don’t have to have an account on anything to participate, though you will need to have somewhere to post your finished work. Having one or more accounts will help for you to follow what is going on with the bang (we crosspost to Livejournal, Dreamwidth, Tumblr, and Twitter at the moment), but they are not required to participate. You can always leave comments anonymously or with an opensource ID.

Will I get emails about the bang?

We do send out some emails, mostly for snippets and art claims and to ensure communication between authors and artists, but please do NOT rely on getting an email to remind you of due dates. We currently do not keep an updated email list of participants, so we only send individual emails as needed rather than mass emails.

However, email is the fastest way to communicate with the mods. If you have any questions or are having trouble communicating with your artist/author, please do email us! We will do our best to respond quickly.

Is there a minimum word count?

7,500 words, but the sky's the limit, right?

What do you mean by minimum word count to enter?

This is a WIP Big Bang, therefore we ask you to have at least 500 words of your story drafted when you enter. It's okay if you have posted a few chapters of your fic already (you never know when the muse deserts you, after all), we just require you to refrain from posting more until posting begins here.

Is there anything not allowed?

As long as you wrote it and you want to finish it, you're welcome to participate. Just bear in mind that original work is only allowed on AO3 if it has a fannish connection and might make it hard for artists to work with. But we'll make a dedicated post for that if there will be any.

What are 'Check Ins’?

These are a way for us to see what you've been up to and for you to make sure you're still on track. It will give you a little nudge/reminder if you need it, but they are not compulsory.

What are the snippets requirements?

In order to allow the artists to make art for the story they claimed, we require you to supply three snippets from your fic, between 500 – 1500 words each. The snippets will be sent to the artist after they have claimed your story. They're to help the artist match your story for artwork the best way he or she possibly can.

What are the rough drafts requirements?

For the rough drafts, stories should be at least 80% complete. You will not have to turn them in to us, just assure us that you are at that point. Anything less is at the discretion of the mods and those authors should speak to one of the mods asap.

What is, and do I need, a beta?

A beta is basically a person who goes over your work to make sure that there are no spelling/grammatical errors and they can even be of assistance in helping you with story lines, etc. It is highly recommended that a beta looks over your work before posting.

Where can I post my fic/art?

Stories and art can be posted to your own personal journal,Tumblr, ff-net, AO3, or wherever you like. For those of you with AO3 accounts, we will set up a collection that will go live on the day of the posting. Also, we've enabled posting to the comm (Livejournal and Dreamwidth) for members. We will post a template for posting artwork and stories to the comm closer to the posting date.

If you don’t currently have an AO3 account but would like one, you can contact the mods for an invitation code to see if they have any available. You can also add yourself to the AO3 Invites Request queue.

How do I know when to post?

Posting will be tiered; you'll each get your own posting date that you and your artist will decide on together. There will probably be two fics, plus art, posting per day between July 27th and August 24th. The post with date claims will go up on June 10th and you'll have to choose your date by July 20th.

If you want to post your story in chapters on AO3 or your own blog (or wherever you usually post), you may do so starting July 20th. However, posting has to be finished by your chosen posting date to the comm. One of the things we're hoping to do with the posted dates is to give everybody on the comm a little bragging time in the spotlight. You know, "this story was incomplete for this long, but I finished this sucker." If you don't have time to post on your chosen posting date, you can queue up a post ahead of time and we can post it on the date you picked. Either way works for us. Art will be due on the chosen posting date to the comm.

Is there a minimum/maximum requirement for my art?

There is no strict minimum, but we do ask artists to remember that the authors are writing a minimum of 7,500 words and your artwork should reflect that. You can do anything you like, including banners, wallpapers, icons, mixes, vids, gif sets, picspams, etc. Suggested guidelines for art are 500x500px (or equivalent of smaller pieces like banner + spacers, cover + icons, etc.) for traditional art, digital art, and manips; 2 minutes for vids; 10 songs + cover art for mixes; and 6 images for gif sets and picspams. We also ask that when you are in contact with the author, you work with them to see if there is anything specific they would like (i.e. a wallpaper). The art is your work, but having ideas doesn't hurt!

What are 'art claims'?

The claims are when anonymous summaries of the story go up for artists to choose from. It is based on a 'first come, first served' basis and artists may choose up to three potential stories (in case their first choice is unavailable). If there are more stories than artists, there will be a second round of claims wherein artists may choose a second story to work with. In the event that there are more artists than stories, the remaining artists may choose a story to work with and those stories will have two artists working independently of each other.

If a fic up for claiming is rated explicit (R, NC-17, etc.), please only claim the story if you are over 18 years of age. Some authors may be uncomfortable working with underage artists on explicit works. We do not verify ages in any way for the bang, so this is solely on the honor system.

Can I get an extension?

Community extensions may be given in the event that the majority of the authors/artists need one. They may also be given individually under certain circumstances, but this must be discussed with the mods and will only be a short extension for posting. If you are certain that you won’t be able to finish your story in time, please let us know by May 25th.

What do I do if I have problems or concerns about my author/artist?

Sometimes authors and artists do not get along and this may cause problems with working together. If this happens to be the case with you, please email the mods and this will be dealt with immediately so that everyone has a chance to have fun at WIP Big Bang!

Can I drop out?

We have high hopes that everybody who signs up can actually finish the round and share in the joy of the reveal with us, but real life can unfortunately get in the way and we completely understand! If you feel like you just cannot finish in time and no amount of assistance from us can help you, just let us know via this link by May 25th (if at all possible).

Is it possible to be banned?

We do have a banned users list. We hope to use this to encourage participants who are having issues to communicate with the mods. We want to help you! The way the ban works is that participants, either authors and artists, will be banned for dropping out without notifying a mod. This means that anyone who has not posted or talked to a mod by the time the posting period ends will be banned. Dropping out is not in and of itself a banning offense, so please do not panic if you have to drop out! We understand that there are many reasons you may need to drop, and we want to work with you.

Bans will last one round or until the issue is resolved, whichever comes first. To resolve a ban, authors will have to finish and post the story they signed up with and artists will have to finish and post the art for the story they claimed. Three bans will result in a permanent ban from the bang.

I have a question/concern that’s not mentioned here.

If you need help you can always contact a mod (@voldiebuns or @biffelderberry) and we will do our best to make sure that you get your story/art finished. The best and fastest method of contact is through our email, [email protected].

Alternative Social Media accounts

As promised here’s where you can find me elsewhere:

Ao3: BiffElderberry (Literally the best place to find me.) Twitter: Eggdumpster Pillowfort: BIffElderberry Dreamweaver: BiffElderberry

This may also be the push I need to get into Discord.

I may or may not be deleted come Dec 17th. Several things on my blog were flagged - mostly reblogged, but at least one of my fics were flagged. Even if Tumblr doesn’t delete me I might delete myself in protest.

The best way to keep track of me will be Ao3. I’ll add my social media to my profile and post it in my next fic (which I hope to have one out by Christmas).

No one would have ever expected it from the two of them. Not that they were having sex. That had always been one of the worst kept secrets in all of Asgard. But that Thor liked to be the one tied down and teased.

SPN Spring Fling 2017

SPN Spring Fling wrapped on LJ this month! Spring Fling is a rapid-fire, double-blind fic exchange, where writers create a short fic (under 1,500 words) based on prompts and pairings from other writers in the exchange. Fics have no summary or tags due to the challenge (but warnings are posted) so it’s a bit of an adventure. Here’s all the hurt!sam and hurt!jared fics this year.

Hurt!Sam fics:

Fields of Stars in Bloom by excoyote (Gen)

Bonfires Green by tipsykitty (Gen)

Sweeter Than The Flowers by akintay (Wincest)

Taking Care Of Sammy by Annie46 (Wincest)

Special Cases by gluedwithgold (Wincest)

FAQ

What is the WIP Big Bang?

Good question! This is a Big Bang with one goal in mind: to clean out your drafts folder. These are stories that were unfinished for whatever reason, that authors returned to and completed, and the art that goes with them! Do I need a Livejournal/Dreamwidth/AO3/etc. account to participate? No! You don’t have to have an account on anything to participate, though you will need to have somewhere to post your finished work. Having one or more accounts will help for you to follow what is going on with the bang (we crosspost to Livejournal, Dreamwidth, Tumblr, and Twitter), but they are not required to participate.

Sometimes I really wish I knew how to make gifs. There’s a scene in MASH where they break down the whole camp and move it across the road. And that’s how I feel right now. Let’s break down fandom and move somewhere else.

I know everyone is freaking out, but we’re going to make it through this. This is by far not the first time we have been purged off a site, particularly this side of fandom, when we get into the weird kinky shit (or even just the adult content).

I currently do not have an updated social media link for everyone. I expect to get something going in the next few days - it mostly depends on where everyone else goes, but so far it’s looking like twitter is the front-runner. (like my favorite porn blog just moved there so I think I’ll follow them over.)

If something happens and tumblr decides to go ahead and purge us before Dec 17th then please watch my AO3 (BiffElderberry). I’ll update social media in my profile and also in any fics posted from here on out.

FAQ

What is the Young Justice Fest?

Young Justice Fest is a fic exchange for the Young Justice animated cartoon. Participants sign up to write fic, make art, or create a vid for a character or ship someone else has requested. In return, they will receive fic, art, or a vid for a character or ship they have requested.

What are the fic, art, and vid minimums?

For fic, the minimum is 1,000 words. For art, the minimum is one 500x500 px piece, or multiple pieces that add up to that. For vids, the minimum is 2 minutes. Fic, art, and vids must include at least one of the characters or ships the recipient requested. You are not required to follow anything else from their request or letter, but please respect their do not wants as much as possible.

Why are there gaps in the schedule, like between nominations and sign ups?

The gaps in the schedule are to allow enough time for the mods to make sure everything is correct at every step. After nominations close, the mods will accept and reject any remaining nominations, as well as merging any that need it. Other gaps are to give enough time for AO3 to run sign up matching after sign ups close and for participants to edit their works after they’re due or for pinch hitters to submit works.

Do I need an AO3 account to participate?

Yes, you will need an AO3 account to participate as everything will be run through the Young Justice Fest AO3 collection. If you do not have an account, you can request an invite from AO3 before sign ups by going to the Invite Request page and adding your name to the queue. The page will show you how long you'll have to wait for an invite, generally a few days. You may also leave a comment here to request an invite as the mods have several extra this year.

How can I keep up with announcements?

All announcements and reminders will be crossposted on the Young Justice Fest livejournal, tumblr, pillowfort, and twitter.

What are nominations?

During nominations, people use an AO3 form to submit ships that they would like to see included in the fest. This will create a tag set which is used for making requests and offers during sign ups. Each person is allowed to nominate up to 10 ships. Mods will accept and reject nominations as they come in. You can only edit your nominations until they have been accepted or rejected.

You do not have to nominate in order to participate or participate in order to nominate.

What characters and ships are eligible?

Any character that appeared in any season of the Young Justice are eligible, including those who appear in promotional material for season 3. If you would like to make a case for a character’s inclusion despite them not appearing in the show, please leave a comment on the sign up announcement on livejournal and the mods will decide on a case by case basis. Any ships between two or more characters on the show are eligible. Romantic ships are marked with a / between characters and platonic ships are marked with a & between characters. Characters can be nominated using the form "Character & None". No crossover ships will are eligible for this round.

How does sign ups work?

During sign ups, people use an AO3 form to request and offer the characters and/or ships from the nominated tag set. Each person is allowed to request 0 to 10 ships. Each person is allowed to offer 0 to 10 ships. You can also request and offer “any” ships, which means you are willing to receive or create for any of the ships in the tag set or for the Young Justice universe in general.

You can edit your sign up at any time until sign ups end. For a detailed tutorial on how to sign up for any challenge on AO3, see this post.

What are “optional details”?

“Optional details” is a space on the sign up where you can add extra information about your request. This can be a good chance to let the person creating for you know about the kind of work you would like to receive, or not like to receive. Good things to include might be AUs you like, do not wants, favorite tropes or genres, prompts, etc. You do not have to include any information here unless you would like to and the person creating for you has no obligation to include any of the “optional details” in the work they create. We do ask creators to honor any squicks or triggers.

What are Dear YJ Fest Creator letters?

These are letters posted to personal journals, blogs, etc. that give creators more information about the kind of work you would like to receive. Like the “optional details” on the sign up, letters are entirely optional. We suggest that you put anything important in the optional details as there is no guarantee your creator will look at your letter.

There will be a space on the sign ups where you can link your letter so your creator can find it easily. There will also be a post on the YJF livejournal where you can link your letter. This will allow other participants to see your requests in case they would like to create treats.

What are treats?

Treats are unassigned works created just for fun. Treats do not have to meet the minimum requirements for the fest, though we do ask that you still honor squicks and triggers. There is no way to differentiate between assignments and treats, so you may want to mention in your author’s note that the work is a treat. There is no guarantee that you will get a treat, though having a letter linked in the letters post will increase your chances.

Can I contact my recipient? Can I talk about my assignment on my blog?

We ask that if you really feel you need to contact your recipient for information, you do it anonymously. A better option is to contact a mod and have them work as an intermediary.

Please also do not publicly discuss the details of your work, including who it is for, or upload your work publicly anywhere else before author reveals.

How do I post my work?

You can post your work in two ways. You can go to your “Assignments” page on AO3 and click on the assignment for this fest or go to the YJF collection and click Your Assignment. You can click either “Post to Fulfill” or “Default”. Clicking “Post to Fulfill” will take you to the posting form. This will automatically post your work to this year’s YJF collection with your recipient’s name already filled in. Just fill out the rest of the form, preview, and post.

If you’re posting a treat, you won’t have a “Post to Fulfill” button, so you will need to go to the YJF collection and click “Post to Collection” and fill in your recipient’s name by hand. Then fill out the rest of the form, preview, and post.

You can post your work any time before the assignment due date. You may make edits and minor changes before reveals, but please do not post an incomplete work. All works will show as “Mystery Work” by anonymous until reveals.

What is, and do I need, a beta?

What are reveals?

Story reveals are when posted works are switched from hidden to visible. Participants are notified by AO3 by email that they have a gift waiting for them, with a link to the work. You can also look under “Gifts” on your profile to find a gift work. Author names will still be hidden at this point. Logged in authors can reply to comments on AO3, which will be under the name “Anonymous Creator” until author reveals.

Author reveals are when when author names switch from anonymous to showing the author name. At this point, authors may crosspost their works wherever they’d like.

Can I drop out?

We have high hopes that everybody who signs up can actually finish their assignment, but real life can unfortunately get in the way and we completely understand! If you feel like you just cannot finish in time and no amount of assistance from us can help you, just let us know by March 1st, if at all possible, so we can find a pinch hitter.

No-show defaulters, i.e. those who default by failing to post without clicking the Default button or contacting a mod, will be banned for the next round. If you were banned in a previous round, you can become unbanned by completing and posting a work for any request from a previous round, then contacting the mods with a link to the work.

What is a pinch hitter?

A pinch hitter is someone who comes in to create a work for someone whose original creator has defaulted. This makes sure as much as we can that everyone who signs ups receives a gift. Pinch hitters will generally have a much shorter timeline to create their work. Most will be due on the regular deadline of March 9. Some that are sent out after then may be due later. Post-deadline pinch hits need to be posted asap, though within 48 hours is preferable. Treats that meet the minimum fest requirements may be used as pinch hits in some cases.

Pinch hits will be posted on all YJF platforms and can be claimed via email. You do not have to have signed up for YJF to claim a pinch hit, though you will still need an AO3 account.

If you need help you can always contact a mod (@voldiebuns or @biffelderberry) or send us an email at [email protected] and we will do our best to help.
