Because I've gone temporarily insane, this is happening right now

[Poll #1882663]

ANOTHER POLL regarding specifics. A bigbang is a bigbang, which is why I'm looking at big word counts - I'm open for suggestions and discussions in the comments.

RE: timelines, the format is: sign-up month - artist claim month - posting month.

[Poll #1882664]

I've not covered EVERYTHING, because this is mostly to gauge interest. SO PLEASE DISCUSS IN THE COMMENTS.

ETA3: NEW POLL FOR TIMELINE AND WORD COUNT LIMITS:
[Poll #1882886]

ETA: I would be very pleased if you, dear flisters, would help me spread the word on this! This is a public entry so please link to it wherever you see fit. Here is the tumblr post I made on the topic, which you can reblog as you like (or not).
ETA4: 00Q BigBang has its own tumblr now. :D

ETA2: I've had some suggestions to make it a Skyfall bang in stead of just a 00Q one, and it's a very good idea! It's just not one for me personally. I'm just one person and I can't handle running a large bigbang such as a Skyfall one could turn out to be and would prefer to just stick to my little 00Q corner and run a little bigbang there. That being said, the 00Q will be open to non-shippy fics (or anything, really), so long as Bond and/or Q are the central characters. :D
I also encourage anyone who wants to, to create a Skyfall bigbang since I'm not going to run one. :D

I can be silent partner mod who doesn't have to read the fic unless you get me into it before it happens :P Look at our track record. How long do you honestly think I'll hold out? About anything P

I answered in vague, perfectly useless options. :P But you know, love and support behind the scenes and that. :P

Well, I'd totally love if there was a bigbang with awesome fics and art and stuff - but I couldn't participate for... a whole lot of reasons. One, I've been into this pairing for less than 24 hours or something, I have not seen the movie and I really wouldn't know what to write. Also, I have not yet managed to forget how bad I am with fests in general and I still have the epic Phil/Clint going on. So no participating for me. But I'd still love to see it happen. :)

Time to look at more Q photos! (And maybe actually Bond ones. Lol)

I've been slowly trying to wean myself away from this fandom for the past two weeks and it's not going very well. It's apparently an impossible task. And now this! *dies*

yes, good idea yes yes all my yesses I want this to happen. Afraid I won't be able to write for it, though.

I think a Skyfall big bang might be nicer, and include more participants! Of course betas/artists can indicate if they jus want to do 00Q or something. A lower word count too (like 10-15k?) might help. Just a thought!

Definitely seconding the idea of a Skyfall Big Bang rather than just a 00Q one. It'd be nice to get some variety, and I know I'm more confident in writing non-super shippy things, so I'd be more likely to write if it were Skyfall rather than just 00Q. Main reason that I put down "watching tentatively" rather than "YAY!", to be honest. I'm sure there are other people out there who feel the same way!

while we are discussing all the things, do we have enough people here in LJ for a friending meme? or was there already one and I somehow missed it? all my skyfall activities are limited to tumblr atm :/

Hi *waves madly* I see you too at H/D!

YES to friending meme! Have you created the 00Q bigbang comm yet? Maybe we can host there so we could pimp the fest as well :D

(also no problem. I'm used to it, living halfway around the world from half my flist :D :D :D)

You must be more active than you realize. Your name is familiar, and I only ever swim in that corner of fandom :D

Ping me when you've set up the friending meme! I will help pimp ALL THE THINGS!

dammit, I was quitting this fandom!

Totally up for this, but I'm also seconding the idea of a general Skyfall big bang instead of 00Q specifically. You might get more participants who want to write gen or other pairings :)

From: [identity profile] jayeinacross.livejournal.com
Ah, that makes sense :) a Bond and Q centric one would work too!

Also, if you need any help running things, I would be quite happy to help. Or if you're looking for someone with more experience with big bangs, I'm sure you could find someone else to held you out :D

HI HI HELLO THERE you don't know me from Adam but I did vote in your quiz (a big old YES) and I have to second all the people who've said a general Skyfall Big Bang would probably work better, earn more support & participation. :)

Throwing this out there since I don't think it's been mentioned, but perhaps a mini-BB? A lot of fics in this fandom don't even hit over 10K, so perhaps a smaller word count would suit more writers. However - I'm sure there is still interest for a lot of people to do a regular BB. There might be more sign-ups for a mini though? Meh.
