So here's your mod, sneaking in to let everyone know that yes, the fest is still going on. We're just going to have to move some of the dates back, in part because we still need more artists, in part because I've MIA, as you know. Sorry about that. I wish I had a good excuse, but it just seems to have been one thing after another in 2011 so far. (As I write this, I'm on my way out the door and won't be around again until Monday.)
So here's the plan:
Wednesday, April 27
Last day to send me your rough drafts. Please email me (Word or Google Doc is preferred) at trinday at gmail dot com. I also need:
Title
Characters and Pairings
Rating
Warnings
Summary
Once I have all of these, I will distribute the summaries to the artists, who get to choose which story they want to illustrate.
Saturday, April 30
Last day to sign up as an artist.
Saturday, May 21
Last day to submit your final copy (insturctions for formatting to follow early next week, I swear) and last day to submit your art.
Saturday, May 21
Posting begins

Once you've signed up, introduce yourself here. Let everyone know who you are and what you're planning to do for your big bang (or how much you are panicking because you haven't figured out what you're going to do yet, as the case may be).
If anyone has plot bunnies that they wish to share, put them here. You don't have to be part of the challenge to post a prompt.
Authors do not have to choose any of the prompts in this post for their story. Neither do they have to follow the prompts as posted if they do pick one. If you see "Elizabeth/Anamaria - evading capture" and think it would make a better Jack and Barbossa genfic, go right ahead. This post is to spart inspiration only.

Hi everyone!
I hope you could all take a few minutes to answer a couple questions about the big bang. I had hoped to start this earlier, but there were a couple things that came up in January that made that impossible. I'm still hoping we can do something before the new movie comes out, though. Please let me know your opinion.

Hope you do enjoy the fic, it's a bit different, in certain ways. ;)
ETA: Oh,…
I think you can post if you're a Member of the community. There's a "Post to this community" option at the top of the screen, right…
I'm going to post mine in four parts, over the next four days, on my journal, with a link at potc_fic and sparrabeth (since it's j/e).…
