You seem like lots of fun, friends? :D
Plus we have similar interests. And I think I'm going to need to check out this Original Fiction Big Bang....

Friends! :D

And the big bang is at [livejournal.com profile] novel_bigbang for the record :)

Yay! :D

Ooh, thank you! I want to sign up, but I'm afraid I won't be able to finish in time. ):

Well, a) you have until July to get your first draft done. b) it's only 20k! c) you can drop out at any time :) in fact, I'm going to put a drop-out post up in a month or two, so anyone who wants to drop out can.

So... :)

I'm currently freaking out about lack of artists atm tho XD that's, erm, fun.

I suppose I'll feel better once I have a more solid idea of what exactly I'm going to write. I have pretty much no confidence in my writing ability. :/

If I had any talent for drawing stuff other than cartoony things I'd help you out with that. But I think people who are working that hard on a novel probably want something a bit more. xD

Dude, I have no idea what I'm going to write and I run the thing! I have two half-started pieces sitting here on my desktop mocking me...

Well, look at it this way... I plan to have a section of the header that... (you know how big bangs work, right? If you don't: with the first draft, you have to put a title, word count, rating, genre, summary and any notes, and then all the summaries - without author names - are put on a page and the artists then come along and choose. Usually one artist per author, but that's up to the artists. If one artist wants to do more than one piece, that's fine by me) but anyway...

I plan to have an extra section on the header that says, "Preferred art type:". Some people will probably say "manip" others, "digital drawings" or "sketch" or something like that... However, others might actually WANT cartoons. It'll only be a guideline - since if we end up with loads of digital artists and everyone wanting sketches, that'll be shit - but at least then you'd be able to pick and choose what you choose to do art for, right? And if someone wants a cartoon, you'd be home free ;)

Anyway, I'll shut up now because wow, rambling...

[identity profile] carlosiscute.livejournal.com 2010-01-31 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, who knew writing a novel could be so hard? xD

I've never really seen how a big bang works before so I'll probably be a pain in the butt with all my questions when it gets to that point. :P

Well, if there still aren't very many artists by then I'll sign up. :)
