ARTIST CLAIMS OPEN AUGUST 3RD

Calling all Crooked Fandom artists! The Big Bang authors have been hard at work on delightful longfics that we can’t wait to share with you. Now it’s time for the next stage: matching fic with original art. 

TIMELINE: Artist Sign-Ups: May 22-August 6 Artist Claims:  August 3-6 Final Check-In: August 30 Final Drafts Due: Sept 18 Posting Begins: September 21

THE BASICS:

One of the unique aspects of a big bang challenge is the combination of fic and fanart. Artists are welcome to create art in any medium they choose, including but not limited to: mixes, videos, podfics, gifs, drawings, paintings, graphics, edits, comics, physical crafts. Art is impossible to quantify, but we do ask that artists put in a significant effort in recognition of the work that the writers are doing on the fics. Authors will be writing their fics all summer and will be expending significant time on the project. A good benchmark for artists is about 15-20 hours of work, including brainstorming and planning. 

The final product should be a collaboration between author and artist. What that collaboration looks like is a highly individual process: if you get a clear artistic vision, run with it; but you should also feel free to ask your author any questions you have along the journey. Artists and authors should share drafts with each other as they go so that when the final products are posted, they complement each other well.

Tommy amends his hypothesis. They’re not just the mob, but a sex cult, organized around… the sheriff and his deputy. A sex cult mob on a murder spree.

Special Agent Tommy Vietor gets more than he bargained for from what was supposed to be a simple case in the Louisiana swamp.
