Sentinel Big Bang Challenge - Now Open!

[briarwood]

It's here at last – sign-ups are open for the first Sentinel Big Bang. There's something for everyone: you can sign up as an author and write wonderful fiction; you can sign up as an artist and illustrate one of those stories ("art" in this context is not limited to pictures - it can be vids, fanmixes, or anything else that's web-postable) or you can sign up as a cheerleader and help our authors reach their goal.

Author signups are here (signups are open until April 21):

Yes, you can sign up for more than one of these if you want to!

I've also posted a "Plot bunnies for adoption" post here:

This is where I encourage everyone to share prompts and story ideas to help any authors who want to take part but need to kick-start the muse a little.

I have created a "mirror" community for Sentinel Big Bang on Dreamwidth: sentinelbigbang This will serve as a backup in case LJ falls over on a key date or LJ's overlords decide to ban fandom again...you get the picture. You're welcome to join or follow the challenge on Dreamwidth, but all posts will redirect to the LJ community sentinelbigbang for commenting, because most of the participants primarily use LJ and I want to keep comments and discussion in one place. (If we have enough Dreamwidth people next year, I'll switch and make LJ the mirror.)
