TIMELINE & POSTING GUIDELINES FOR SHADOWMONKEYS BIG BANG 2024 PARTICIPANTS

Hi everyone! Now that the sign-ups are complete, we wanted to post an overview of how this year's bang is going to work. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch via our ask box, dms, or email address 😊

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

Timeline:

1) Authors submit your prompts (deadline: 12 May)

2) Artists claim your prompts (round one: 19-26 May & round two: 3-10 June )

3) Teams are allocated (for round 1: by 2 June & for round two: by 17 June latest)

4) Get in touch with your allocated partner

5) Decide on a posting window (dates TBC)

6) Work on your projects while communicating with your partner

7) Post your finished collaboration within your chosen posting window! (posting dates TBC, with 15 February being the final deadline for posting WIPs)

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

1) Authors submit your prompts

We will shortly be sending out a link to the submission form for everyone who has signed up as an author via email, after which we will also make a Tumblr post to remind everyone to check their inbox. The deadline for submitting your prompt will be 12 May. This means you have approximately three weeks to think of a fic idea and create + submit your prompt. Please bear in mind the guidelines when creating your prompt.

How to submit your prompt:

You will be asked to create a Google Slide, containing the following information about the fic you’re planning to write:

A working title

The prompt itself. Ideally, this wouldn’t be a teaser-style prompt, but either a full summary or a description of your idea, containing information that might be helpful for artists. As this prompt is meant for the artists to base their decision of which fic they’d like to do art for on, please make sure to include some info and details that will appeal to artists (descriptions of visual appearances of characters or settings etc.)

Rating/tags/warnings you’re planning on using, in AO3-style. These can of course be adjusted at a later stage, but we’re asking you to include at least a few that you’re confident you’ll be using, so that artists have something to base their decision off

An author’s note: which should include information that might be relevant for artists, like the estimated length of your fic, how much of it has been written so far, any preferences for types of artwork you may have, the level of collaboration you’re looking for (i.e. whether you’d like input from the artist on your story as you’re writing it, or prefer to elaborate only on the scene(s) the artist will be creating artwork for, and only share the full fic once it’s finished, or anything in between), and anything else you think would be good for an artist to take into consideration

You can find an example slide (for a different fandom) that you can base your own slide on here. All the required information needs to fit on a single slide, and the font size should be Calibri 12. If you have any difficulty creating your slide, please get in touch with us and we will guide you through it. Your slide will be anonymous, and you will be asked to submit it via the Google form that we will be sending out to all authors via email shortly.

What happens after you’ve submitted your prompt?

Once we’ve received all slides, the mods will combine them into a single presentation and number each slide. We will then share that presentation with the artists, so that they can browse the prompts and decide which fics they’d like to create artwork for. They will be asked to submit their top three choices via the Claims form that we will send out to them in due course, to maximise the chances of every author being matched with an artist.

Please note: since more authors signed up to this year’s bang than artists, it is unfortunately possible that you will not be matched with an artist in the first round of claims. We will therefore host a second round of claims approximately a week after the first round, during which artists who might want to do artwork for multiple fics can claim another fic. If we are still unable to match you with an artist after the second round of claims, you are free to decide either to withdraw from the Bang, or to continue without artwork. Please remember that whether or not you are matched with an artist is not a reflection on the quality of your work - it might simply be a matter of subject preference and/or the fact that there are more authors than artists.

2) Artists claim your prompts

On 19 May, we will post all the prompts that have been submitted, and artists will be able to claim the prompt they want to create work for. In due course, artists will receive an email with a link to a Google Presentation containing all prompt slides, anonymously submitted by the authors. Once this email has been sent out, we will also be making a Tumblr post to remind artists to check their inbox. You will have one week to browse the submissions, after which you can use the Claims form (which we will also be including a link to in the aforementioned email) to submit your top three choices for fics you’d like to create artwork for. The deadline for submitting your Claims form is 26 May.

3) Teams are allocated

After Claims have closed, the mods will do their very best to match as many authors with artists as possible, based on the artists’ preferences. All teams that are successfully matched after the first round of claims will then receive an email to notify them of who they will be collaborating with. We aim to notify the allocated teams within one week from when the Claims form closes (so by 2 June).

The second round of claims will open the day after (3 June), and will remain open for one additional week (deadline 10 June). Additional teams will be allocated and notified as soon as possible after the deadline, and anyone who we were not able to match will be notified asap as well.

4) Get in touch with your allocated partner

As soon as you've been allocated your team, please get in touch with your partner to touch base and to discuss how you want to approach working together on your project. The Shadowmonkeys Big Bang is all about having fun and creating together, so don't be shy about reaching out and starting the conversation!

5) Work on your projects while communicating with your partner

This is the fun bit! Once you've decided how to approach your project, get to work and make sure you keep in touch with your partner for inspiration and motivation. We'll be posting tips on different ways to stay on track and plan your projects, and other fun little bits and pieces here and there to keep everyone feeling inspired!

6) Decide on a posting window

This year, we've decided that in order to make the bang as accessible as possible, there will be a series of posting windows. The posting windows are:

Posting window 1: 30 September - 27 October

Posting window 2: 28 October - 25 November

Posting window 3: 26 November - 23 December

After the teams have been allocated, we ask every team to discuss amongst themselves when they would prefer to post their collaboration. Teams can then submit their first and second preference for a posting window via a form, which we will be sharing with you in due course, and the mods will subsequently attempt to make a posting schedule that is as balanced as possible. Teams will then be notified of their allocated posting window by the mods via email.

7) Post your finished collaboration within your chosen posting window!

Teams will be able to start posting their work anytime between the first and the last day of their allocated window, either all at once, or at least the first 25% of the total fic. The final deadline for posting WIPs (i.e. the date by which the complete fic must be posted) will be 15 February 2025, so please keep that in mind while planning your work. If your work is not finished before this deadline, it will be removed from the Bang collection on AO3.

More information about exact dates and times for the different stages of the Big Bang will be shared with you via posts here/the emails we will send participants at each stage of the process.

You can also find all of the above information in this google doc.

Happy brainstorming, and we're very much looking forward to seeing everyone's no doubt incredibly creative and inspiring fic ideas! 🪩

Reminder that Alex Turner knows about Milex fanfiction and had the most bizarro response when a journalist asked him about it. He said,

"I’ve been told about it… Stories where we slip into one another. Does One Direction have that? And who fucks who? They fuck all at once? And they don’t want to write stories where we fuck the One Direction? Like Cadbury who puts in the same packets Dairy Milk and Ritz crackers?”

#why hasnt anyone written a Milex X 1D fic for this man?#i dont know what they were on but tlsp interviews during eycte era were truly unhinged #milex #the last shadow puppets #tlsp #alex turner #miles kane

okay so i finally finished it... allow me to present a comprehensive, chronological compilation of miles and alex singing *THAT* moment in standing next to me for the whole eycte tour 🌟

this video took me the better part of two months to make, and cost me a not insignificant part of my sanity (related: i may never want to hear this song again), so yeah... i hope you enjoy 😅
