RQBB Artist Sign-Up & Details
Jul. 16th, 2020 12:16 pmArtist Sign-Ups are now open for the RQBB2020! They will be closing on July 20th, at 23.00 BST (11pm).
Welcome to the Rusty Quill Big Bang - a large-scale event bringing writers and artists together to create an explosion of fan content for Rusty Quill podcasts!
Please read the following carefully to understand what will be expected of you as a participant.
Remaining Schedule for 2020 (all times in BST)
- Artist Sign-ups (close): July 20th 23.00
- Check-in 2: August 17th by 23.00
- Final Fic & Art Due: August 26th by 23.00
- Posting Begins: August 31st by 23.00
Fandoms: Rusty Quill Gaming, The Magnus Archives
Participation Requirements:
Artists will need somewhere to host their work, so that it can be embedded on AO3.
If you wish to write or create for M or E rated fics you must be aged over 18.
Art Requirements: Fully finished artwork (fully coloured/shaded) or one fully edited podfic of a complete work. Eligible art includes digital art, traditional art, podfic, webcomic, etc. If you have any questions about your art, please contact the mods!
Maximum Number of Fics per Artist: Initially, each artist will only be able to sign up for one fic (they may create as many works for this fic as they like). Artists who would like to create for more than one fic can indicate this in their sign-up, and will be contacted if this is necessary, or can sign up as a pinch-hitter.
Matching Process:
The artist sign-up includes a list of the anonymised fic summaries. Each artist will select 3 fics which they would be interested in creating for, with additional preferences (favourite show/shows they do not follow, OTPs and NoTPs, Do Not Wants, etc) indicated in the comment field. Mods will then match writers to artists, taking preferences into account as much as possible.
If one fic is oversubscribed or if it is otherwise necessary for a work to be matched, it may be removed from the list of eligible fics before the end of artist sign-ups.
If you have an issue with your match, please let the mods know as soon as possible.
Accepted artists will receive confirmation emails after sign-ups for the event close, with an invite to our optional event discord server, and are required to respond to this email either by replying or by joining the server, so we know that our messages are being seen.
Expected Conduct:
- By signing up for this event, you agree to meet our deadlines. If it becomes apparent that you need a little more time, we require that you email the mods to explain your situation before the deadline passes. (Those who miss deadlines without contacting the mods beforehand may be defaulted from the event without further contact.)
- In order to participate in this event, you must be willing to contact the mods directly in the event that you have a question, concern, or issue with your participation (as in the deadline example above). We are happy to help participants with anything that arises, but cannot accept “telephone”-style communiques on behalf of others.
- Be kind and courteous towards your match and fellow participants.
- Please take care to credit your artist/writer in your own final post.
- Be in regular contact with your match - if you’re going to be offline for a significant length of time, let them know. Radio silence from your match in events of this kind can be very concerning.
- Our Discord server has its own list of rules, which are listed within the server. If you decide to join the server, we require you to read and abide by those rules.
- Harassment of other participants (including but not limited to callout posts, namecalling, etc.), either publicly or in the Piles of Nonsense discord server, over their fanworks or headcanons will result in an instant default.
- We, like Rusty Quill, have an “all headcanons are valid” policy. Harassment or mockery of those with different interpretations or other attempts to limit participants’ creative expression will not be tolerated. Please note that this does not mean you cannot discuss, for example, how you see the characters with others or that your artist or writer should not take it into account at their discretion, but insistence that any one interpretation must be adhered to, or that others are “invalid”, will be frowned upon.
Artist sign-up is here.
Please be aware that the survey-builder estimates that this form will take 37 minutes to complete - there are 50 fics to choose from. Do not select M- or E-rated fics if you are under the age of 18.
