Quicky Sticky

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

In a recent multi fandom project it became clear there are a lot of artists with a desire to create and a lot of authors wishing for art to go with their stories. Yet both were not sure how to approach each other. We hope to bring y'all together in this art-community.
For now we are keeping it within the Supernatural fandom, including the RPF corner:) All ratings and adult pairings are welcome.

So, do you have a short story [<4000 words] you want illustrated? There will be a new round of quickies in July 2017:)
Eager to art? Browse through the still available fics from our April 2017 round here!

CALLING ALL ARTISTS!
Art can be anything from a banner to a scene illustration and we welcome all media, from pencil sketches to digital designs. To avoid procrastination we have one rule: you have to set yourself a deadline within the timeframe of the challenge. (A month for the regular QuickyBang, one, two or three weeks for the Matchmaker Challenge)
Art can then be posted to the community. If there is no banner, we require at least a sneak peek or teaser to be visible in the post; this is an art-community after all:) Whether you link to your artpost in your own journal or directly to the author's story is up to you. We do encourage you to promote each other's work!

ARTMASTERLISTS:
Quickies Round 1
MatchMaker Challenge in July/August 2016
Quickies Round 2
Matches & Quickies 2017 Round 1

Did you know we also offer anonymous contact and private rooms all year round:
FLIRT: Don't have a story, but you do have an idea for art? Leave a prompt here! (Anonymous input allowed)
CLASSIFIEDS: Looking for a fic- or artpartner to play with your favorite characters? Find each other here!

Questions, suggestions and comments are welcome:)

Is there a limit to how many stories we can offer?

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I hadn't thought of that, so the answer would be 'no'. But seeing as we have a lot of authors looking for artists, I think keeping it down to three specific links maximum would be fair. You are welcome to mention that you have more stories available for arting:)

[reeby10.livejournal.com]

Alright, thank you!

[marciaelena.livejournal.com]

Oh, oops! I just offered four stories for grabs. But one is a poem (under 400 words) and one of the stories is under 600 words. Should I delete one?

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Heehee, I love that you got too excited to notice the rules. There are already a lot of submissions, so to be fair to all authors, I have to ask you to delete one. Thank you so much for joining in!

[marciaelena.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sorry, I really should have read the rules first. Deleted one of my stories from the post.

[tabaqui]

Just saw a post about this - definitely joining so I can participate in the future! (Fic-writer) What an awesome idea. :)

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the community:) There will be a new round of the regular Quicky_Bang after the Matchmaker Challenge. So I'll see you in September!

[tabaqui]

Ah, I am feeling sort of - frazzled in real life, but wondered - can you still submit for August? Or no? Thanks!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

YES, yes you can! Fics can be submitted all of August, artist can claim and post all the way through to the end of September:) Comment on this post to offer your fic! (http://quicky-bang.livejournal.com/24901.html)

[tabaqui]

Yay, thank you!

[marciaelena.livejournal.com]

Do authors get to write a new story for this challenge, or is this for old, already posted stories we might have?

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

A story has to be completed; the Quicky_Bang was set up to get artists arting as soon as possible, that's why a link to the finished story is required. It doesn't have to be an old story though; if you have a fic ready, get it up on AO3 or your LJ and you can submit it for a quicky all through August!

[marciaelena.livejournal.com]

I wish you'd up the word limit to 5K, I have one story just under that word count that I'd love to see illustrated.

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Ahw, that's not going to happen; the whole purpose of the quicky is that the stories are short:) You can always offer it up in the CLASSIFIEDS (http://quicky-bang.livejournal.com/304.html) comments, that's the place to find wandering artists! (In my next promopost, I'll make a list of all the stories on offer and I will also point people in the direction of the other corners of this community that are active)

[marciaelena.livejournal.com]

Okay, awesome, I'll do that.

[cowboyguy.livejournal.com]

If I checked one of my fics I was thinking about submitting and it turns out that it's 4141 words, I'm assuming that's not close enough to 4,000 to round down, right? :D I have others I can submit that are definitely under 4K, but I just thought I'd check!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Ahw, yeah, I have to draw the line somewhere. I'm happy to hear you have other fics you can offer for a quickie;)

P.S. This community has a Classifieds (http://quicky-bang.livejournal.com/304.html) section, where you can look for an artist to collaborate with on other projects. You could offer your longer fic up there!

Authors

[(Anonymous)]

Hi! Sorry but I can’t find info on what the authors need to do to participate in the challenge! Can you tell me?:)

RE: Authors

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Hi, anon!
Authors have already done their part; this is a collection of fics that were submitted for the last Quicky_Bang challenge. The stories on offer are the ones that were left unclaimed in that round. (The old submission post is locked to keep the fics a secret:)

There will be a new round of the regular Quicky_Bang after the MatchMaker Challenge is done, so probably in March/April. Keep an eye on the community if you want to offer a fic! (It will already have to be written and published, so you could write in the mean time;)
