Inception Reverse Bang

• It is up to you how closely you wish the author to follow your vision for the art in their story. If you have a very specific vision that is fine, but bear in mind that most writers must be given at least a little room in order to produce their best work.
  
• The only obligation that an Artist has is to finish the piece(s) of art that they submitted to the challenge. You may create more art for any/all of your prompts, but this optional. Please discuss your plans with your author and consider sending them drafts/completed pieces as you go.
  
• No Author should pressure their Artist to create more art.
  
• We leave it up to every artist/author team to decide who will post the master post to i_reversebang. If, however, an an Artist has a piece with two stories attached (two writers claimed it), then the stories should both be linked in the master post for that piece. Therefore, for the sake of convenience, the Artist should make the master post to the community.

• Be polite, respectful, and enthusiastic when working with your artist. They put work into this challenge, and they deserve your best efforts in return.
  
• Discuss with your artist your plans for the story. You are not bound by what they say they want in the story, but try to take their thoughts and comments into account as you write.
  
• Artists are free to create as much art as they want for their prompts. Therefore, there is the potential for them to create art that is directly related to the story you write; for this to happen, be sure to stay in contact with your artist and keep them apprised of updates in the story. But bear in mind that this is purely at the Artist's discretion, and at no point should an Author pressure their Artist for anything.
  
• Once again, the minimum wordcount is 3,000 words, and stories must be beta-read.

• Art pieces may be finished or works in progress.
  
• They are due by Sunday, October 8, but you may send them in before then if you are ready.
  
• Submissions should be sent to ireversebang@gmail.com with the subject: Art Submission. Attach the file(s) to the email.
  
• You can submit up to two art pieces. These pieces should not be linked, as each piece could be chosen by different authors.
  
• If you are doing a comic style piece with panels, it must be one image file which will then count as one piece.
  
• There is no maximum size for art, though each art prompt must be at least 400 by 600 pixels. If it is a vid it must be at least 1 minute in length. You may also submit an audio file following the rules set out here.
  
• There is no need to submit a thumbnail version.
  
• Images can be sent in the following formats: GIF, JPG, PNG, and TIFF.
  
• Music or other non-visual art will be accepted as long as you can explain what it is in the description for authors.
  
• Vids can be sent in the following formats: 3GP, ASF, AVI, MOV, MPEG, MPG, RM, RV, and WMV. Alternatively, you may upload it to Youtube and send us the link. If you're sending in a YT link, please make sure there's no identifying information about you the artist in the vid or on the page
  
• We will be requiring the following naming convention: artistname_piece#. For example bauble_piece1.jpg. This will allow us to keep things organized and to ensure no duplicate file names.
  
• Art will be posted for claims anonymously, so please do not publicly post your art anywhere beforehand.

Artists should submit one or two pieces of art by Sunday, October 8. This art may be a work in progress, a draft, or a finished product. This art will be posted anonymously, along with a a sentence or two about your preferred pairings (if any). Authors will then claim art to write for, similar to the way artists claim authors' summaries in regular Big Bang challenges.

Authors will write a story of at least 3000 words inspired by the art.

Drawings, paintings, digital manips, and fanvids are all allowed as submissions. Art must be at least 400px by 600px, or at least 1 minute in length if you are submitting a fanvid.

It is encouraged that artists have their work reviewed by an art beta. You may refer to our beta sign-up post to contact people who have volunteered to help out, or use your own betas (we will not be assigning betas).

Due to the way art claims are set up, it would be difficult to ensure that an author would be familiar with an additional source of canon.

• Multiple authors claiming a single art piece to write for will not be allowed until every single piece is claimed at least once.
