Hey everyone,

The first lot of requests for art for the Big Bads Challenge have come in and you can find the banner requests HERE. Artists, make sure you read over the info if you’re thinking of claiming one of the art requests. 

Susan, our resident tech guru extraordinaire, has the art request claim page set up to automatically switch to request claiming OPEN at midnight SITE TIME on the 12th of September. Early claims will not be accepted.

To claim a fic request, artists will need to email me with the following information:

     Artist penname/user ID:
     Permission to share your email with the author(s) you sign up for: 
     Banner request: List your banner request(s) by fic title and author penname name, in order of preference.
     Number of banners you are willing to create: (max 2)

Each fic will ONLY be allocated to one artist, and it will be in a first come, first serve basis. Artists may sign up to create multiple banners, however we will cap the number to two banners to begin with, to encourage involvement from a lot of people. If we require a secondary sign up, that will happen later on. 

Finally, to the participating authors. Even though the request claiming goes live on the 12th of September, you can still sign up to request art after that date. We will be imposing a cut off (most likely mid October—but this is to be confirmed), to ensure that artists have enough time to complete the requests before the end of challenge month. If you haven't signed up for the challenge but were thinking about doing so, it's not to late to jump on board. 

That's about it. Any questions? Comment here.

And when the time comes... happy claiming!
