marvelfemslashmod♦For the sign ups, will we sign up through some kind of document or just a tumblr post or something? How does it work?
Sign-ups will be through google forms, and the form will be pinned to the Dreamwidth account during the sign-up period. You do not need a Dreamwidth account to sign up, but you do need an AO3 account.
♦Is this big bang 18+ only?
No, It's all ages
♦Besides the ship being femslash, are there any limitations to what ships you accept for the big bang??
No, there are no limitations on ships. As per all Marvel Femslash Events, Rule 63 is allowed for one or both members of the ship. Based on this meta post on Rule 63, genderswaped characters are allowed e.g. Thor is and has always identified as a woman. *Note: sexswaps where a male character wakes up with female genitalia but is still male identifying are not allowed. The only rule regarding ships is that the central romantic pairing must be between two (or more) characters who are not cis men - sorry, no gen fic in this big bang.
♦You indicate that poly ships are welcome. What about if one of those parties is a cis man?
Sorry, no; all parties must identify as female.
♦Can we sign up to finish a work-in-progress with some chapters already posted on Ao3?
No, All fic and art created for the big bang must be new (e.g. not previously posted). However, it’s allowed to finish a WIP that has not already been posted.
♦Can I talk about my fic before it’s posted?
The big bang is not an anonymous bang, so minor discussion and chatter in public spaces (e.g. discord, tumblr, etc.) is allowed, but please save any intense plot discussion or spoilers for conversation with your alpha/beta readers.
♦Do I need a beta?
It's not required, but highly encouraged. Bang organizers will try to help match authors with a beta if they don't already have one.
♦What if I already have an artist who wants to create for my story?
Artists will be assigned to writers after the 50% check in, but if a writer and artist know they want to work together, there will be an opportunity to sign up as a team.
Sign-ups will be through google forms, and the form will be pinned to the Dreamwidth account during the sign-up period. You do not need a Dreamwidth account to sign up, but you do need an AO3 account.
