I'm avoiding my art friends list until Petite Madame's latest is not front and centre anymore. It's another one in her
amputation
series, and it's really bothering me. Even the thumbnail makes me disproportionately sad. I hope it's not going to be a long series.
Would be a perfect reversebang prompt, though.
I've decided I'm going to try and do two--if I can finish a draft by September 2nd, I can do two prompts. So maybe two very different pictures.
...and twice the opportunity to be rejected.
SPNartsupport is going to have a discussion (and try and pull in authors) to discuss what makes a good visual prompt. That will be useful.
Anyone else here I can bully into it? Bueller?
You can totally do two pictures by Sept. 2. You just need to get back in the groove.

Pull authors into the discussion? I would love to be part of that.
I will give you a heads up when we're ready to go.

My Big Bang story = done.
Apocrypha
117,000 words of John-centric gen that draws on stuff we learned all the way through S6.
I'm still feeling a bit shocky that it's actually done.
DUDE. That's quite a few thousand words longer than the book I just turned in.

For the big bang authors on the board, how do you feel about PDF and other e-pub versions of your work? I'm reading a story now where the authors have been asked several times for a pdf and are refusing - not because they don't know how to make one but because they don't want that version of their work distributed. I'm confused as to why that is objectionable - is there some advantage to having an LJ only version of a story?
Got that "...what do I do with all this...*time*, now?" feeling, do you? Sit by the computer and hit refresh waiting for fb, of course! Or read all the other BBs you haven't had time to more than register while your head was down concentrating on yours.
Or, take a walk, work in the garden, hit the gym, have a spa day! Congratulations on finishing and getting it posted. It's on my queue.
I think they want to have control of the text, lcat. If you make a PDF or an epub version, they can't edit that. You can take it away and it's frozen in time. Also, you can distribute it as you will.
Congrats, Anne! Whew! That's one hell of a bang!
Control of the text makes sense. As a non-writer, I think if I ever managed to do any kind of creative writing and was asked for a pdf, I'd just be chuffed that people liked my work enough to want to save it to their hard drive!
