Ladies' Big Bang

In the interest of giving our complement pinch hitters more time, we have moved back the posting schedule to start on October 16th. If you see your name on this schedule, that means we have received and verified your final draft. If you sent in a final draft and your name is not on here, and we didn't contact you to let you know why, please email us at ladiesbigbang[at]gmail as soon as possible so we can figure out what happened.

If you have any issues with your posting date, also please contact us as soon as possible.

Very soon, we will be granting posting access to creators, so they can make their project posts to this community on their assigned dates. Project posts will include complement links (so creators and complementers, you will need to coordinate that come posting time). Note for complementers: for complementers who will be making separate posts at their own journals/websites/etc., you may post up to four days before your creator's posting date if needed.

For anyone who does not have a Dreamwidth account, please comment to this post or e-mail us at ladiesbigbang[at]gmail.com so we can work something out.

We have a total of 24 projects, with a wide range of fandoms and media represented. We on the mod team would like to express our enormous appreciation for all participants -- cheerleaders, betas, creators and everyone who's supported this challenge in some capacity. So cheers and congratulations all around, and here's to a fabulous 24 days of celebrating women!

If you are interested in doing beta pinch-hitting, please join our pinch-hitting list, Ladies' Big Bang Pinch Hitting. Pinch hits for betas, cheerleading and eventually complements will be announced there.

( More information about betaing. )
( Beta Sign-Up Form. )

<strong>Name:</strong> <strong>E-mail address:</strong> <strong>Categories you're willing to beta for:</strong> <strong>Maximum number of creators you're willing to beta for:</strong> <strong>Are you willing to beta for original content? If yes, which categories?</strong> <strong>Are you willing to consider betaing multicategory submissions?*</strong> <strong>Are you willing to consider betaing categories outside of our primary ones (i.e., different types of creative projects)*?</strong> <strong>Would you like to be assigned a cheerleader?</strong>

* = in this case, you will be contacted with information about what the project is rather than assigned it.

[[Creator Sign-Up Form]]

Please note:

• Sign-ups will be open through June 30. Remember, you may participate even if you do not sign up (more details in our rules); sign-ups are for folks who want to make use of support structure and/or appreciate the accountability of sign-ups.
• You are not required to be matched with a beta or cheerleader.
• You are not required to choose a fandom; you are required to choose a medium/category if you'd like to be matched with a beta/cheerleader.
• If you wish to create original content, you must indicate it in your sign-up, particularly if you're interested in being matched with a beta or cheerleader.
• If you are a multicategory participant, please list your percentages under the "category" section.
• For co-creating teams: only one person needs to submit the initial sign-up, but every other person participating in the co-creation must also comment to it confirming their participation.
• Other links that may be of interest: prompts for creators and author permission for audioficcers.

Be sure that you have read the Rules & Guidelines for Creators before signing up; a lot has changed this year, including the addition of TEN new primary categories of creation. Also recommended: double checking the new finalized minimums on the community profile.

Keep in mind that if you are requesting to be matched up with a cheerleader or a beta that we cannot guarantee any kind of matching on fandom whatsoever. Your cheerleader or beta will be aware that they may not know your fandom and they'll be signing up to provide general cheerleading/betaing services.

Also, feel free to cheer each other on in the comments! Just keep in mind that sign-ups will be screened after the sign-up period ends.
