00Q BIGBANG

[nerakrose]

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'm just going to sit here and watch you :P

[nerakrose]

:pppppp

[mrs-jack-turner.livejournal.com]

I'll do light duty modding. We'll see.

[nerakrose]

I love you. Though seriously, you don't have to if you don't want to. :)

[mrs-jack-turner.livejournal.com]

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

[nerakrose]

maybe i should take time and see how long XD

[mrs-jack-turner.livejournal.com]

I don't need another pairing :P You are evil, but yeah, time it :P

[winterstorrm.livejournal.com]

YES PLEASE!!

Right now.

[nerakrose]

wheeee :D

[kiyala.livejournal.com]

Was linked to this. YES PLEASE. :D

[nerakrose]

*punches the air* awesome :D

[inside-the-veil.livejournal.com]

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

[nerakrose]

hahaha XD all right XD

[inside-the-veil.livejournal.com]

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. :)

[nerakrose]

ohh, yeah, i know that :) i wasn't expecting you to participate :P

[epithalamium]

I really have no idea what's happening, BUT COUNT ME IN.

[nerakrose]

YESSSSSSSSSSS

[epithalamium]

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

[valinorean.livejournal.com]

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*

[nerakrose]

hahaa XD to me it feels like i've been standing on a cliff watching it from afar and then going 'AWWYES LET'S JUMP'

[jtsbbsps-dk.livejournal.com]

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

[nerakrose]

Yessssssssssss :D (sorry about the late reply, only just got home for the day)

[glamchemy.livejournal.com]

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!

[kath-synecdoche.livejournal.com]

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!

[nerakrose]

i definitely agree that a skyfall bang would get more participants etc, but i'm afraid that kind of bang would be too large for me to handle :/ (anyone else can and should feel free to run a skyfall bang if they want to ^^) i was just thinking that a 00Q one would be small and manageable enough for me. i would accept non-shippy things for it, though, so long as either Bond and/or Q are the central characters :D

A THOUSAND TIMES, YES XD

[nerakrose]

WHEEEE :D

(sorry about the late reply, only just got home for the day)

[valinorean.livejournal.com]

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 :/

[nerakrose]

I have no idea! i only just got into the fandom and have mainly just reblogged a couple of things on tumblr, so i'm not too confident about where the fandom activity is. there should defo be a friending meme :D (also hi, i know you from the H/D fandom! *waves*)

(sorry about the late reply, only just got home for the day)

[valinorean.livejournal.com]

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)

[nerakrose]

Really? XD I feel like such a lurker in that bit of fandom XD

I created it just last night, but it's woefully empty XD i need to do something about the comm (hopefully i'll have time to do it when i come back from work) and then I can totally set up a friending meme over there :D

(i do too! i was just exceptionally late home because i got home at half past nine in the evening and i'm usually home around 4pm at the latest XD i figured it was good form to let people know why i hadn't been replying to comments for nearly 24 hours :S)

[valinorean.livejournal.com]

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!

[nerakrose]

i guess so! well i've been in a few fests, but i'm not a big producer of H/D things so I always reckon I'm pretty invisible. (I wrote something for nano though! it needs editing and stuff but it's ~20k so ^^ it'll be nice to finally have a "proper" H/D work to my name XD)

will do :D

shhhhh COME

[jayeinacross.livejournal.com]

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 :)

[nerakrose]

glad you're interested:D and while i definitely agree that a skyfall bang would get more participants etc, i'm afraid that kind of bang would be too large for me to handle :/ i was thinking that a 00Q one would be manageable for me. i would accept non-shippy things for it, though (or anything really), so long as either Bond and/or Q are the central characters :D oh and anyone else can and should feel free to run a skyfall bang :D

(sorry about the late reply, only just got home for the day)

[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

[nerakrose]

I was hoping that would be the case ^^ I don't want to be too exclusive about this.

Thanks for the offer! I might take you up on it later if I end up needing help. I've run a bigbang before, though, so I'm not completely green. :D

[feels-like-fire.livejournal.com]

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. :)

[nerakrose]

thank you for voting :D

[i-am-negotiable.livejournal.com]

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.

[nerakrose]

A few people have mentioned it, but thank you! I did just edit the post to reflect a new poll with lower word count options ^^
