This is the first and only artist checkpoint. It is mandatory. You will have until April 20th (one week from now) to respond. You don’t have to send anything in for this one, just leave us a comment below.  If you are creating art for two stories make sure you include the names of each. Check in here.

It’s time to submit your rough drafts! Instructions can be found here. You have until 11:59 PST, March 21st to submit.

The third and final checkpoint is up. This checkpoint is mandatory and will be run through email rather than comments to the post. You have three days to send your check-in to avengersbigbang@live.com

Avengers Big Bang needs betas!

Author and Artist sign ups for Avengers BB are now officially closed. But! We still need lovely beta readers to help us make it to the finish. To sign up as a beta reader for Avengers Big Bang please read the FAQ before committing (and if you have any questions ask them there.) 

Author Checkpoint #2 is now up here. This checkpoint is the last voluntary checkpoint in the challenge. Please take a moment to fill out the form so we can have an accurate gauge of everyone’s progress! There have also been some changes to the official schedule, the reasons for which have been detailed in the checkpoint. You can see the new schedule here. Please mark your calendars accordingly. 

The support post is now open! This post will stay open throughout the challenge and serve as a place for authors and artists alike to post anything from ideas to issues in relation to big bang. If you have a question about comics canon, progression, art style, or any of the like, this is the place to ask your fellow participants for their opinions or reassurance.

Checkpoint #1 is now up! This checkpoint isn’t mandatory. It’s just a way for everyone to sort themselves out and give us, the mods, an insight into anything that might be troubling you! 

In other news, due to your responses, we will be making a support post. Keep an eye out for that this weekend if you’re having trouble writing and need to commiserate with other authors.

For Asexual Awareness Week, Elizabeth Barrette, aka ysabetwordsmith, posted a list of types of nonsexual intimacy that I found really interesting both as an asexual and as a writer:

Part One

Part Two

Part Three

Happy New Year everybody! New updates and a poll over @ livejournal! We’ll begin posting resources and updates both here and at lj as we segue into the first stretch of our challenge.
