#sbd2020

Calling all writers, artists, and creators of all levels! The June prompts are now available here! So scroll through the options and claim your prompts!

- All of the prompts available for the month will be shared with the authors and artists.

- You’ll have one day before you can claim a prompt.

- You’ll receive another email with the claim link the following day. It’ll be open until the end of the month. The link will also be on the slides but it won’t be open until you receive that email.

- Any prompts that remain unclaimed by the end of the month will be rolled over to the next month’s prompt list.

Rules:

- You will not be allowed to officially start until both an artist and an author have claimed the work.

- We encourage you to wait until you’ve met your partner before you start so you’re both on the same page.

- You’ll be notified when your claim goes through and when you have a partner.

- You can claim three prompts at a time.

- If you claim three during this month, you will not be allowed to claim more until you post at least one of your works.

- You can’t talk about the prompt you’ve claimed until you have a partner. Then it’s free to discuss publicly.

Blind Date Information

The Stucky Blind Date Program is where big bangs meet prompt memes. 

Prompters submit prompts and once a month they’ll be posted for authors and artists to claim them. It’s a very casual event, with authors and artists coming and going as they please. Since it’s a blind date, authors and artists won’t know who the other person is until they’ve both claimed a prompt, then their identities will be revealed so they can start their collaboration! 

Note: You cannot start working on your prompt until you have a partner. This is to keep the collaboration fair and collaborative, rather than have someone jump in half way through the project. 

Prompts are released once a month. 

Authors (Bards) can do no more than three prompts at a time. 

Artists (Muses) can do no more than five prompts at a time. 

All prompts for 2020 must be completed by January 1st, 2021, except the December prompts. Additional time will be given. 

Authors and artists are not required to claim a prompt.

Prompters are notified once the prompt has been filled via tumblr. 

You cannot create art or fic, beta, or pinch hit for your own prompt.

Authors (Bards)

Fics must be at least 10,000 words. 

Authors can do no more than three prompts at a time. 

All prompts for 2020 must be completed by January 1st, 2021, except the December prompts. Additional time will be given. 

Authors and artists are not required to claim a prompt.

Artists (Muses)

You must complete two images (or the appropriate equivalent) and a banner. 

Artists can do no more than five prompts at a time. 

All prompts for 2020 must be completed by January 1st, 2021, except the December prompts. Additional time will be given. 

Authors and artists are not required to claim a prompt.

Betas (Wing Men)

Betas and Pinch Hitters are roles that are only used when called upon. 

Authors receive a list of betas upon claiming a prompt. You can be taken off this list at any point or time, but you’ll need to notify us when you’ve reached your personal limit. 

Betas can say no to any prompt they are asked to beta for. 

Pinch Hitters (Speed Daters)

Betas and Pinch Hitters are roles that are only used when called upon. 

Pinch Hitters are called upon when an artist or author can no longer take the prompt. 

You’ll be sent an email with the prompt (as well as if they need an artist or an author) when a pinch hitter is required. It’s up to you whether you take us up on that request or not.

Participants under 18

This bang is open to all ages! However, those under 18 cannot post mature or explicit content within the bang. Authors, artists, betas, and pinch hitters under 18 may only create/claim G or T fics. 

Our Blind Date project has now been up and running for 5 months now, and the Mods couldn’t be prouder of everything that has been created.  However since this is the first event of its kind, there are bound to be bumps along the way, and the mod team has to adjust accordingly.

It has recently come to our attention that there are some authors and artists that have been stuck waiting for a partner.  Per our policy, the rule is that you cannot begin work on a prompt until you have been paired.  That said, we can’t force anyone to claim a prompt that doesn’t appeal to them, so we’ve come up with a solution.

If an author or artist has claimed a prompt and been without a partner for 90 days or more, they now have the option to enroll in our “Playing the Field” program.  This program allows the claimer to begin work on their claimed prompt before they have a partner.  You will fill out the form, give a brief description or preview of where you plan to take the prompt and that will be added to the slide for claims.

In the event that the author or artist finishes their work on the prompt while still partnerless, they have the option to fill out a “Going Stag” form.  Once 30 days have passed since filling out the form, the claimer can post their project without a partner. You must have played the field prior to going stag.
