Real Life ^(TM) always seems to have a way of inserting itself into the best of intentions and plans. Case in point, both

havocthecat and I have been hit with pretty heavy doses of medically based RL.

If you need to drop out, for ANY reason, this is the best place to do it. We don't need to know the reason at this point, just that you're needing to drop out. Since we haven't assigned complements yet, this is a case of "no harm, no foul".

The people who have contacted me prior to this via PM, you're already taken care of in our spreadsheet of information.

Also, if you know of anyone who is willing to be a cheerleader and/or beta for the creators in

thelittlebang, please feel free to also leave a comment to that effect here. We are running at a serious deficit of cheerleaders/betas to creators.

Thanks in advance!

Current Mood: crappy

First things first... I'd like to say that the weekly mod posts that were originally going to alternate between your mods are being cut back some, due to RL health and surgery issues for

havocthecat.

thelittlebang is still going strong, she just might not have as visible a presence as initially planned for the next while.

This also means that the beta/cheerleader match-ups may take a little longer than initially planned. We are hoping to have that completed before the end of the month for all of you.

In other news, we're 1/3 of the way through the initial creative phase, and it's time for a word count check. To go with the three months of creation idea, that' means everyone should be somewhere around 5k words completed at this point. If you're more than that, more power to ya! If you're less than that, it's not the end of the world.

I will freely admit that I haven't even started mine yet.

So, how's everyone doing on their projects? Are your muses cooperating? Getting a lot of words written? Hit a brick wall on the creativity front?

And for the check-in itself, I'm going to borrow a template from

sentinelbigbang, because it works out really nicely, and turn it into a textarea box for you to c/p. You don't have to use the template if you don't want to. Feel free to modify as needed.

Feel free to share some details about your project, maybe a summary or some hints, but please don't post actual extracts. We may have a post for that sort of thing later on down the line.

Current Mood: creative

Week three! I hope everyone is creating away. As we all (or most of us) know, femslash can gravitate to rarer fandoms, and there's also the yuri - femslash divide. In the interests of making sure everyone knows the basics of the fandom that you're creating in, I would love for everyone that feels comfortable doing so to talk about their fandom.

It would be the best thing ever to find new media sources to play around with! For example, I discovered Puella Magi Maodka Magica after someone signed up for it here. I'm not the most anime-savvy person on the planet either, so I always appreciate recs.

Like usual, we want to try to make it comfortable for everyone. So, those who are comfortable with structure, please feel free to use the template. Anyone who's not comfortable with structure, please go freeform! This is an anything-goes kind of post.

Here we are, officially in our second week of the initial creation phase. Here's hoping everyone's busy creating, or plotting, or outlining, or whatever else it is that you do in the early stages of creating!

So to start things off, we would love it if everyone could introduce themselves, and pimp out their fandom, talk about their characters, etc. We will be having an "official" pimp your fandom post next week, so don't panic if you don't have any info to pimp your fandom here. This is primarily to a little "meet & greet" so we can all find out what everyone else is doing. And if you get excited by a project, let the person know!

Back in 2009,

havocthecat made a sample form you can use, if you're more comfortable with structure. Or you could do a more freeform comment. Or you could introduce yourself over in

bangalittle or your personal journal, and drop a link in the comments here for us. Whatever makes you the most comfortable!

I'm going to post mine in the comments here, so you can see an example of one way it can be done. Again, the stuff in the text box is just a guideline. Feel free to take it, leave it, alter it. :)

And speaking of

bangalittle, feel free to pop on over and post about your project. Squee, bitch, moan, freak out, plead with the muse(s), whatever. Just remember that when you're posting there, we ask that you follow these three simple rules [that I'll add in an intro post over there, too].

no flames or hate speech of any sort. act like an adult, even if you don't think like one.
don't go about spoiling people for shows/canons whose fandoms are currently operating under spoiler warnings. it's just not nice.
don't post fic/links to fic that are unrelated to your tlb project. there are many other places you can do that.

Current Mood: creative

Our sign-up period - the official one - has ended! I'd have said something on Monday, when it actually ended, but I had this whole big thing with being sick and antibiotics not working, and my sinuses actually hate me a whole lot. Which, so much fun.

But that's not the important thing. The important thing is that we're now officially in the creating phase! Starting next week, I'll be going through and making sure everyone who is on the comm is also signed up, and we'll be doing members-only posts about writing, art, fandom pimping, things like that. We'll be doing monthly word counts too. I'll also post a list of the fandoms that people are creating in.

Have fun with the femslash!

So far, we have 25 creators signed up, and only one fan artist signed up for the initial phase. I think that, perhaps, we need to expand our visual fanworks advertising. Can anyone point me in the direction of some good art comms? Thanks very much!

It's been ages since we've done the first round of TLB. Since 2009, as a matter of fact. In the intervening two years, a whole lot of things have happened, and so we've got some changes.

First of all,

thenewhope and

quasiradiant have been forced to gafiate out of fandom (at least for a while, though we hope to see them back!), so we'll be running with a different mod team:

havocthecat,

ariestess, and

twtd.

Also, we've gotten the Archive of Our Own, and we'll be doing fic posting in a collection there. If you don't have an account, don't worry! I've sent in a request for invitations for anyone who doesn't already have an account. It's not an exchange, so we're not doing sign-ups at the AO3, but we will do fic posting there. Art posting too, more likely than not.

Third, the format has changed. There will still be an initial phase, an editing phase, and a complement phase. This time,the initial phase of the challenge will be open for both visual and written fanworks. That means that vidders and artists will be welcome to participate and have a complementary written work posted.

Last of all, this community and

bangalittle will be mirrored here and at LiveJournal.
