CONGRATULATIONS ON COMPLETING THE 2017 VIKTUURI REVERSE BANG!

●  TUMBLR TAG  ●  AO3 COLLECTION  ●  ROUNDUPS  ●

more than nine months after the planning and original announcement, the 2017 viktuuri reverse bang is now officially over.

we did it!

numbers game

here are some fascinating numbers from the event:

length of event (including planning period): 227 (260) words written: approx 988,600 art pieces completed: approx 195 all ppl involved, from start to end: 293 main participants: 156 participants doing two projects: 8 pinch-hitters: 38 beta readers: 19 volunteers: 12 dropped: 75 admins: 1

future plans

see this post for a few end-of-bang reminders for the current event.

i will be hosting another bang from this account in the future. when it occurs and what kind of bang it is depends on what you guys tell me you want in the survey, so pls consider taking it! im always seeking ways to learn how to run things better.

the survey will be open until the END-end of the bang, which is august 18.

words of thanks

i want to thank the following people, without whom this even would not have been possible:

the authors and artists who took part in this event and made it something special and fun. the finish has been a long time coming, and even tho i hope overall it was a labor of love for all of you, i know it was frustrating and confusing at times and that i had to be hard on you sorry. even so, i hope it was as rewarding for you guys in the end as it was for me. im overwhelmed by all the talent and hard work you put into your creations and i couldnt have asked for a better participating bunch.

the pinch-hitters, because you guys literally saved this event. at the first and second check-ins when a total of 38 people didnt show up, you guys were the ones who pulled through with your support, encouragement, and willingness to help despite the less than ideal circumstances. your attitudes have consistently been positive and im p sure youre the reason i havent lost all my hair lol.

the volunteers who helped me out with reminder messages. i could not have kept on top of 200ish people and all the deadlines without your help. some of you were even involved in the event yourselves, so bravo for taking on this challenge of participating and helping. this event would not have been as smooth without you.

my partners -my writer @velvetcovered-brick and my artist @rynyn- for having the patience of saints lmao.

everyone who helped spread the word abt this event, and supported the event and the participants throughout the past several months. your contribution often goes unnoticed, but its always valued and appreciated.

and thats all i have for now, though ill be making another post on aug 18/19 to tie everything up! pls consider sticking around until then because more works will be posted/reblogged as our last minute pinch-hitters finish up their fills.

see you next round!

calling all artists, graphics makers, and fic writers! 

we need people who are interested in filling the void left behind by participants who had to drop last-minute and therefore couldn’t complete their collaboration.

edit: there is no set due date, but august 18 is when this event officially comes to a close, so preferable to have your work done by then!

goal: 1000 words

where words fail, music speaks (author @rayraywrites) Music is the language that unites those who cannot speak their feelings. It fills the holes in our heart from living. It soothes and burns. When the spoken word of man fails, the ancient language stirs from the depths to be heard above the loudest of howls. claimed by @gairanelixir

yoi: viktuuri reverse bang 2017 is officially closed (again)!!!

hey guys! 

first let me remind you that there are still ppl who are working on pinch-hits, and there are still two projects open to pinch-hitters if anyone is interested! see this post for more info.

now let me go over the survey results, since this affects where this event will go in the future! the bold parts are the most important bits but make sure you go through the whole post when you have a moment!

- the majority of you agree that the event length, the event dates, the number of check-ins, and the communication method were just fine the way they were this round, so i will definitely be leaving them as they are for next time, for the most part.

- most of you either dont want or dont care abt having a theme. before the next round starts ill probably take another survey on this specifically to find out if participants are still uninterested, and, if they ARE interested, what sort of theme(s) they might want.

- the majority of you said you want a regular bang next time. that was the original plan, to switch bang types every other round, however! with the explosion of bangs in this fandom being mostly regular bangs i am hesitating on switching this up simply because there arent many reverse bangs out there. i will take another survey before the second round, complete with mock-up schedules and everything just to be sure.

- most of you thought the final submission process was just fine or a little confusing but you got through it. i am considering other ways to execute this for the future.

- finally, most of you had some or no trouble with communication with your partners, which is great news! i know i cant control how and when ppl communicate with each other so this is always a big problem in events like these. and im glad no one had trouble communicating with me ;)

this blog will continue to have the askbox open for questions and suggestions during the downtime between rounds. the blog will become more active again around late november / early december as pre-bang surveys come out, and ultimately sign-ups will open again in january!

feel free to message me on my main @katsukifatale if you want to in the meantime! i like making friends and i promise im not as uptight irl as i am when i run events ;)  

@starianprincess =D

this shouldnt prevent me from posting your template submission in a timely fashion, but i wanted to let you all know that i will be at a con this weekend meeting studio mappa OMG just in case! 

ill be traveling all afternoon on thursday and sunday and im not sure how great the wifi will be at the hotels so i may be slow answering questions during this time.

everything is still due by 18:00cst on your posting date, so pls be sure to get your templates submitted so i dont have to spend time chasing you down!

yoi: viktuuri reverse bang 2017 projects due!

hello friends! @katsukifatale​ here bringing you the beginning of the end of yoibb17! the light at the end of the tunnel is visible!

information abt how to post and how to submit links on your posting date will be up tomorrow! for today though its all about the final submission.

● project submission ● 

as with the check-ins, this final submission will be done by email. the difference here is in this case i just want one email per partnership, so decide between you which one will email and make sure that person has access to everything needed for the final submission.

you must send your email to [email protected] no later than 23:59 on june 17 unless you have asked for an extension from me.

your emails must include the following:

subject:  ●  your url and your partners url ●  final submission ●  example: yuurikatsdon & katsukifatale, final submission

body: ● your final word count ● your posting date ● url of your beta ● any questions that havent been covered

attachments: ● your complete fic ● your complete art ● your banner (optional here)

your attachments will not be used in any way except to verify you’ve fulfilled your requirements.

in the days between final submission and your posting date you may continue to edit your works as long as you don’t go below your requirements (ie writers may not dip below 5k words during editing).

● the banner ● 

either the artist or the writer must include the banner with their final project, whether it is emailed with the final submission or submitted on your posting date. it will be used to help showcase the project -the writers and artists preferred urls, the title of the fic, and a simple sample of the art. examples of banners from admin’s previous bangs can be found here.
