#leverage bang

Hello, all! As you can see, we are back for the 2018 Leverage Bang. This time, it’s going to be a little different:

Instead of a regular Bang or a Reverse Bang, we will be doing both! The Bang will work in two phases:

- Phase 1 (Submissions): Artists and authors will create a new, original work that will be submitted for claims. These can be either an art piece or a fic!

- Phase 2 (Claims): The works from Phase 1 will be claimed by authors and artists who will work collaboratively with the original artist/author to create a second work inspired by the first. In this phase, artists will choose a fic, while authors will choose an art piece.

There will be collaborative ‘teams’ of 1 artist + 1 author.

Hello all!

The first round of check ins are nearly complete. If you have not yet checked in for each of your sign ups, please check your emails and be sure to do so promptly. 

If you are missing a check in I have just sent an email reminder. (If you got that email and aren’t sure what sign up you didn’t check in for, you can always message us via tumblr messenger, tumble ask, discord, or responding to the check in email and we will be happy to check for you).

The next step: For Phase 1 participants, drafts are due on July 22nd. We expect you to have your work roughly 50% complete for draft submissions (minimum of 3k written for authors). So you still have lots of time, but keep that deadline in mind in get to work!

Lastly, Artist Sign Ups - Phase 2 are all still open! If you are an artist and want to participate, or if you have any artist friends that you can talk into participating ;) do it! It’ll be fun, we promise!

AT LAST THE DAY IS HERE! WE HOPE EVERYONE IS AS EXCITED AS WE ARE! Sign up links at the bottom of the post.

What is the bang?

An opportunity for writers and artists to come together and make fanworks celebrating the show Leverage. This bang has both big- and mini-bang options. Check out the requirements and details below.

How does it work?

Writers and artists sign up to participate. Sign ups open August 1st. Authors begin work on their stories and submit a draft/summary by October 6th. Titles, warnings, and summaries will then be posted for artists to claim. Claims will work on a first come first serve basis, and once artists and writers have been matched up creators can begin collaborating. Final works are due November 24th and posting will begin in December.

Requirements:

- For writers: Minibang: Minimum 5k words Bigbang: Minimum 10k words No maximum. Writers will indicate which type of bang they intend to do when signing up, but can change their minds any time before artist claims open; to do so email the mods.

Artists can submit illustrations, comics, photomanips, fan videos, fanmixes, gifs, graphics, or any other art medium that can be digitally shared. Videos must be a minimum of 1 minute 30 seconds long, fanmixes minimum of ten tracks, minimum of six gifs. For any other questions involving types of art or art requirements contact the mods either by email or tumblr ask.

Basic Rules:

Check ins are mandatory. If you miss a check-in, you have 48 hours to email the mods, or you will be disqualified.

Works cannot be posted before the official post date. This means both that they must be new (previously unpublished) works and that they cannot be released early.

Any (or no) pairing is acceptable so long as the main focus of the story revolves around canon Leverage characters.

Any rating is acceptable.

All appropriate warnings and tags must be used for both the summary/draft submission and the final post.
