OK, so I must be living in a time warp!  I totally forgot about author check-ins.  Because of my mistake, authors, you need to check in by May 15th.  If you miss two check-ins, you will be automatically dropped, so be sure to respond!

As always, good luck and happy creating!

So, about my story...

It's the fifteenth of the month -- that means it's time for a snippet post!  Just leave a comment below with a part of your fic (no more than 200-300 words, thanks!)

Please include the following information in your comment:

Any other info: (pairings, warnings, author notes, etc.)

If your snippet has adult content, you must link it back to your own journal. 

We're going to run things like we did last year.   Authors will fill out information about their stories and people who are interested in betaing can surf the list and offer their services to the story (or stories) they are interested in.

Authors -- if you need a beta, please fill out the following information:

Preferred way of contact (email/IM/PMs):

Betas -- if you are interesting in betaing a particular story, please comment on the author's information. 

It's time for the first author check-in.  Remember, all authors need to check in by April 10th.  If you miss two check-ins you will be automatically dropped, so click that button!

As always, good luck and happy creating!

So, about my story...

Just a couple of quick things to post :D

My incredible co-mod has updated the resource post.  Go, look and get your fandom fill!

Also, we have our welcome post over at scifibbhelp.  Also, feel free to make you own post to cry, cheer, plead for help, dance with joy, etc. 

It's hard to believe it's already (almost) three weeks into March. As always, if you have any questions, please let us know.

Good luck and happy writing! :D :D

Hello and welcome to the fourth round of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Big Bang! Whether this is your first time particpating in this challenge (or any big bang challenge) or you've participated in previous challenges, we're so pleased about the fantastic response so far!

Now, the writing period is officially underway, and all invites have been sent out to the support comms (LJ / DW). Please be sure to accept or reject your invitation. There will be an introduction post on March 15th over on the support comm, so look out for it!

If you are having trouble finding your invitation:( Read more... )
Here is a reminder of the timeline for this challenge from the FAQ:( Read more... )

As always, you can contact us at any time for anything! We are available on LJ, DW, Tumblr, and by email at scifibigbangmod [at] gmail [dot] com.

Good luck everyone!

I know there are some of you waiting for invites for the support comm.  We will get to you, no worries!  LiveJournal only allows so many open invites out at one time, so once we get people accepting invites to the comm, my co-mod will issue out another burst of invites.  

As a reminder, only authors, artists and cheerleaders (and betas, once we open the sign ups) will be sent invites to the comm.  

If you have any questions, give us a shout.

Author sign-ups are now officially closed and the writing period has begun!  *begins to sharpen pencils*

For those of you who have signed up as writers or artists, invites for the support comm will be sent out within the next few days.  Feel free to introduce yourself and whatnot when you get your invite.  Also, if you are on LJ and DW and need/want access to both comms, please let us know in this entry.  (I know I'm bouncing back and forth between sites.)

Also, Alpha sign-ups have started.  You will receive access to the comm, but it's really important to note that participation is required. We don't want lurkers in the comm.  Cheerlead with gusto, LOL.  

As always, if you have any questions, drop us a line.  (Also, for those of you who are new to the comm this year, don't panic if you see yappichick responding to your questions.  If I'm too lazy busy, I don't bother signing in with this name. I just respond from that journal.)

Authors and artists can always use a little pick me up...especially within a four month period, so here's your chance to help!  

Alphas/Cheerleaders are so super important!  If you feel like you can help, please fill out the comment section below.  If you sign up to be a cheerleader/Alpha, you will be sent an invite to our support comm.  Please note that participation is required.  You don't have to comment on every entry (or even most of them), but feedback/cheerleading/etc. is expected.  

Those interested in being an alpha/cheerleader, please comment below with the following info:
