2014 Art Submission Guidelines

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

We've had a few people ask about how to send in their artwork, so without further ado...

• Art pieces should be completed drafts. You may still make changes, but the art should be complete enough that a writer could work from it even if no changes are made.


• Submissions should be sent to spnreversemod@gmail.com with the subject: Art Submission. Attach the file to the email.


• Artists may submit up to two (2) separate pieces of art for this challenge, but only if they make the Early Bird deadline with the first of them. If the Early Bird deadline is missed artists may only submit one (1) piece .


• If you are doing a comic style piece with panels, it must be one image file which will then count as one piece.


• There is no maximum size for art, though each art prompt must be at least 400 by 600 pixels. If it is a vid it must be at least 30 seconds in length.


• There is no need to submit a thumbnail version.


• Images can be sent in the following formats: GIF, JPG, PNG, and TIFF.


• Vids can be sent in the following formats: AVI, MOV, MPG, and WMV.


• Please do not upload your art anywhere; artwork should remain anonymous until after claims reveals. If and only if you have a vid with a file size too large to e-mail, you may upload to an anonymous file sharing site like mediafire and send us the link.


• Please make the file name your LJ username and whether it's RPF, SPN(FPF) or either. For example, yournamehere_either.jpg or yourusernamehere_spn.avi. If you are submitting multiple pieces, your Early Bird prompt should also have the word early in the file name and subsequent files should have unique names. For example, early_yournamehere_either.jpg or early_yourusernamehere_spn.avi; yourusernamehere_spn1.jpg and yourusernamehere_spn2.jpg. This will allow us to keep things organized and to ensure no duplicate file names.

You must include the following information in the body of your e-mail:

Livejournal Name:
Email:
Fandom: (indicate here if your art is RPF, SPN or either)
Title of prompt:
Rating of Art:
Highest Rating Fic Can Be:
Pairing or Gen: (indicate here if you want gen, have pairing preferences or don’t care either way)
Characters: (please tell us who is in your art and who you would like to be included or excluded from the accompanying story)
Warnings: (please indicate whether this prompt contains Graphic Violence, Major Character Death, Rape/Non-Con or Underage content, in addition to any other warnings you think are necessary. Please note: genres are not considered warnings so include them in the description field if they are worthy of note.)
Short description of art: (Enticements may be included here, but this should not be a detailed story request)
Author is willing to make more pieces to go with the story: (Yes or No)

Please copy and paste the above text into your email to make sure you don't forget anything.

If you have any questions, please comment here, send an email to spnreversemod@gmail.com.

Any word on whether authors can also submit art? (Or vice versa?) :D

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

In the past, we've always asked people to do either one or the other, as there's typically not enough art to go around for al the authors who want to participate. We've been gauging interest regarding who would want to do both, and how that might impact the art-to-author ratio, and we'll make an official announcement at the end of September.

If you do submit art, you can always sign up to pinch hit as an author. I hate to say it, but we WILL need pinch hitters. Also, if you're on the fence about which you want to do, author signups don't close until after art is due. So, if you sign up as an artist and end up not turning anything in, you can then sign up as an author.

I know, this is probably my... fourth or fifth year? I'm not really sure. :) Anyway, I was asking because I'm already signed up as an author, and that is what I'd prefer to do this year. But if I could also do art and help with making sure the challenge has more of that, I'd be glad to submit a piece or two. :) And yes, I'll pinch-hit either way!

If sending two submissions, should they be sent in separate emails? Thanks!

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

As long as there's separate and clear information for each entry, one email should suffice! :)

I wanted to post my story here on SPN Rev. and than LJ says:


Error

Client error: Maximum queued posts for this community+poster combination reached.

I don´t know what that means and I don´t know how to post otherwise than on my page. The story is online on my page.

In the "Title of Prompt" field, what do I put there? Artwork title?

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

yes, if you have a title for your art, put it in. If not, no worries. The fic may have a different title anyway, depending where your author takes the story.

[patchworksam.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

"Author is willing to make more pieces to go with the story: (Yes or No)"

I am thinking you meant artist?

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's what we meant!

I've read and read and read this again and again, and I've never noticed... Thank you ^^;

[bluefire986.livejournal.com]

No worries, I didn't see it right away either... ::hug::
