Thinking about joining BBB25 as a creator? Already signed up but have questions about what the role entails? We’ve put together some creator-specific FAQs! Creator signups close on April 30. Sign up here!

Thinking about signing up to be a primary creator for BBB25? Have any questions about the workload, deadlines, or the differences between primary and secondary creations? Take a second to glance through our primary creator-specific timeline!

This post is a brief overview of what you can expect from the next four months if you’ve signed up as a primary creator! The BBB timeline can be a bit confusing if you’ve never participated before, so keep these dates in mind and you’ll never be surprised by an upcoming deadline!

First of all, we want to remind you that BBB as a challenge is meant to promote creativity and community! Becoming a creator means you’ll get to enjoy both— you’ll be collaborating with a fic writer to create something awesome, original, and new!

As a primary creator, you’ll get first dibs on which fics you’ll be creating for! You’ll also have the chance to create a significant piece of traditional/digital art, a oneshot fic, or a podfic, made specifically for BBB25 to accompany your chosen fic.

The primary creator role hasn’t officially kicked off, but you should go ahead and join our discord server! Joining early will let you get some sneak peeks at what our incredible writers are working on, and give you a chance to start making friends before claims!

Timeline of all major dates and deadlines for primary creators:

May 1- First wave of creator claims! Claims open for primary creators only at 8pm EST. You’ll be given access to the available fic synopses ahead of time (look for an email roughly 24 hours before), and you will have the opportunity to claim ONE fic in the first wave!

May 4- Second wave of creator claims! Claims open for both primary and secondary creators at 8pm EST. You will now have the chance to claim a second fic (or two in total if you didn’t claim one in the first wave).

May 7- Creator claims close! At this point, mods will connect you and your writer(s). You’ll be able to chat, gain access to their drafts, and start the process of brainstorming and beginning your primary creations!

June 7-8- Official check-in! Mods will dm all participants to assess progress and offer resources if needed. You must show that you’re on track to finish your creation- don’t panic! This is not a deadline, and you still have plenty of time to create!

June 30- Final fic drafts are due! Your writer(s) will need to have their fic uploaded to the Ao3 collection by 8pm EST. This is not YOUR deadline, but keep it in mind as a frame of reference for when you’ll be posting- you’re now in the home stretch!

July 19-20- Final check-in! Mods will reach out to any creators who haven’t posted to Ao3. You should be almost ready to upload your creation if you haven’t done so at this point!

July 31- Primary creations are due! You must have your creation posted to Ao3 by 8pm EST. Podfic creators ONLY will have a flexible deadline (posted by August 14 at the latest) to allow extra time to record your writer’s finished fic- all other creations must be finished.

If you haven’t read our creator FAQs yet, check out the thread we posted last week! For any additional questions you may have, please refer to our Masterdoc, ask in the official discord, or contact one of the mods! Best of luck! Have fun!! Create something incredible!!!

Also, stay tuned for a thread on the timeline for secondary creators, coming later today!
