Big Bads Challenge - banner requests

Hello everyone,

We've had a positive start to the Big Bads Challenge so far, judging by the number of author sign ups. I'm looking forward to reading what everyone comes up with--it's always a good thing to have new fic to read. 

Authors, if inspiration has already struck and you're looking to for some art to accompany your words for when you post the story in October, then here is the info you need to know regarding banner requests.

All you need to do is shoot me an email (address available at the bottom of this post) with a combination of the following information. The first three dot points are required, the rest are optional. So, if you are looking for something specific, give me as much information as you think the artist will need. Alternatively, if you are open to the artist experimenting, then just give me the required info.

Required information

  • Fic title:
  • Author penname:
  • Story blurb (or a short summary if you're not at that point):

Optional extra requests

  • Season/episode (so the artist knows the kinds of images to look for):
  • Feature characters:
  • Big Bad: 
  • Colour theme:
  • Mood/Style (dramatic, simple, lighthearted, happy, etc):
  • Other (Special requests for objects, specific images, etc):

A master list of the banner requests will be created by our tech guru Susan for these requests to be listed on for artists to browse, and I'll announce when that goes live.

That is literally it. Authors, you can email me your requests at angelic.amy.fic@gmail.com

Happy writing!

I made my own banner this time around. Might try making someone else's too! I finally have access to decent photo manipulation software that I can sort of figure out. :D

Oh, you know I sent mine in! *rubs hands in gleeful anticipation* Now I just need to survive the next 2 weeks of work so I can write!

Does anyone else think that picking titles and writing summaries is literally the hardest part of writing a fic? I hate it. But I settled on one of each, and have shot my request over to Amy's email.

My question is, do the banners have to say something about Big Bad Challenge the way that the banners did for a few previous challenges on this site? Like the Artistic Challenge or whatever it was called?

@Puppet - We generally always require challenge information on the October challenge banners heart More details on the banner requirements will be coming in a couple days. Stay tuned!

Ah okay, thanks. It's mostly because I can't finish my own banner until I know, but I'll just save an xcf file for now. Thanks for getting back to me and I'll keep an eye out for any coming announcements.
