Round 12 is here!
Hey guys! Hope you are all doing well here in Tumblandia and out in the real world. It's been a minute but we are happy to announce another round of the Shameless Big Bang! There have been some updates that we're excited to share as we kick off another turn.
Since I have been quite busy and don't want to spread myself too thin this time around, @wehangout is back to help keep things running again this round, and @whaticameherefor is joining as well. I am so happy to have them on board so that we can keep the tradition alive <3
As a reminder, we are sticking with the original format of completing your work before posting. If you plan to participate, please try to be mindful of that when you commit. Also, while most people are good about staying in touch, we have people every round who have issues with communicating and responding to emails. We are going to continue to take a more strict approach with that if people aren’t responsive, especially once authors and artists are paired off and the posting dates get closer. We will not be confirming your sign up until the last day, so please wait until after then to reach out if you don't hear from us.
Please consider these things before signing up. Without further ado, here’s the timeline for the next round.
- August 8 – Sign-Ups open
- September 18 – First author checkpoint and LAST DAY TO SIGN UP
- October 23 – Rough drafts due
- October 30 – Summary previews for artists
- November 3 – Artist claims open (authors and artists will be paired up on a first come, first served basis)
- December 1 – First artist and second author checkpoint
- December 15 – Second artist and third (and FINAL) author checkpoint
- December 22– Posting Schedule will be announced
- January 1 – Posting begins!
Don’t forget that there are a few different ways to keep up with us:
- The Shameless Big Bang Tumblr page is the primary source of information. If you’re new around here, you can find out more info about the Big Bang at our Info & FAQ page. You can find links to the art and stories from previous rounds, and the home page even shows our commonly used tags, which you can use to filter through posts.
- The Twitter account! Our Tumblr posts automatically feed there as a convenient way for you to keep up to date on either platform. Follow our Twitter account if you’re active there!
- We also have a Discord! If you provide your Discord information during sign-up, I'll add you automatically.
As a reminder, the Big Bang is a collaborative effort between authors and artists. Please be mindful about your time and how busy you are when you sign up. We don’t want you to have to drop out and leave someone in the lurch if we can avoid it.
If there are any questions, you’re always welcome to send me an ask or an email! Reblog and spread the word!
