Poll: What kind of crack bang were you thinking?

[meus_venator]

So there are great crack options out there and

we wanted to ask your opinion on some.

With the amazing j2_everafter closing it's doors : (  we were thinking of running a
J2_crack Magical Tales Bang (Name to be determined – ideas?).

We see it as being open to fic of all sizes and to both fairytales (Disney and others), cartoons (print and TV) and television series.
*And again remember, crack only has to have some unworldly aspect to it. Personally I consider pretty much all of J2_everafter crack, just because of the themes not because of the writing style. So to keep that in mind. Serious writing on strange/unlikely AUs is more than welcome.

We're thinking of having an open word count and an option for artists, videos or writers to go solo if they choose. Or a story/Vid/ art sign up to offered art or fic toward the end.

Other things we were thinking of:
• not having a draft submission, just an email check in that you're still doing okay and still onboard.
• having two potential posting rounds that you could commit to later. (A shorter deadline in apx two months and a longer deadline of four months.) So if anyone wants to post earlier (no matter the length of the story) they can.

So? Opinions? Thoughts? Naming ideas?

"Fractured Fairy Tales"?

Little thing. I see that a few are giving the "nay" to draft submissions. Gotta disagree with that, as . . .

If a person is working alone on fic/art, then sure, no draft is needed, because if they lose interest and drop out, they won't impact anyone else.

BUT . . . if an author plans on having their piece claimed by an artist (as most Bangs do), then hell yeah, there should be a draft submission requirement, one placed upon both writer and artist to ensure that the artist doesn't get stuck with a writer who loses interest mid-stream, resulting in no story and nothing to illustrate, and the writer doesn't get stuck with a disappearing artist and no art for their fic. If that makes any sense. ;)

(Why, yes I HAVE suffered through non-communicative, disappearing!authors before, and I'm sure more than a few writers have met the same fate.)

As far as my experience on BB is kind of nonexistent, it's hard for me to give advice on how to do things. One thing, though: I'm primarily a writer but I do like to make art to and I think I would like for it to be permitted that a writer could offer to do art for another story than it's own. So far, it's not permitted on the other BB I looked upon so maybe there's a reason.

ALSO: I'm so in!!!!!! Writing lots of angst right now. Need this in my life!

I voted and then I thought... it doesn't really matter what the outcome will be, because I will participate no matter what.
I am Lin and I am a Crack addict.

Could we do a quick meme now, and the bang-thingy later in the year?
Yes, can we?
Please?
