Submission Guidelines for Artists

[spn-rbang-mod.livejournal.com]

As promised, here are the guidelines for submitting art for the spn_reversebang . Art drafts are due September 20th, but you can start sending them whenever you are ready.

• Submissions should be sent to spn.rbang.mod@gmail.com with the subject Art Submission. Attach the file(s) to the email.
• You can submit one to three prompts. These prompts should not be linked, as each prompt could be chosen by different authors. If you are doing a comic style piece with panels, it must be one image file.
• There is no maximum size or dimensions for art, though each art prompt must be at least 400 by 600 pixels in size. If it is a vid it must be at least 1 minute in length.
• Because of the large number of artists and prompts, the claims post will include links to full size art rather than previews. There is no need to submit a thumbnail version.
• Images can be sent in the following formats: GIF, JPG, PNG, and TIF
• Vids can be sent in the following formats: 3GP, ASF, AVI, MOV, MPEG, MPG, RM, RV, and WMV
• We will be requiring the following naming convention: artistname_prompt#. For example spn_rbang_mod_prompt1.jpg. This will allow us to keep things organized and to ensure no duplicate file names.
• For each image you need to fill out the following information:

Livejournal Name:
Email:
Prompt #:
Canon: (RPF or Supernatural)
Rating:
Suggested Pairing(s): (indicate here if you want gen, have pairing preferences or don’t care either way)
Description:

• You can copy and paste this code into your email to make sure you don't forget anything.
  <strong>Livejournal Name:</strong><br /><strong>Email:</strong><br /><strong>Prompt #:</strong><br /><strong>Canon</strong>: <br /><strong>Rating</strong>: <br /><strong>Pairing(s): </strong><br /><strong>Description:</strong>

Here is an example of what the body of the email should contain:

Livejournal Name: spn_rbang_mod
Email: spn.rbang.mod@gmail.com
Prompt #: 1
Canon: Supernatural
Rating: G for art, fic can higher
Pairing(s): Gen or Anna/Tessa
Description: Anna (with wings!) and Tessa/Death.

Livejournal Name: spn_rbang_mod
Email: spn.rbang.mod@gmail.com
Prompt #: 2
Canon: Supernatural
Rating: PG
Pairing(s): Gen
Description: Henrickson on a hunt. The creature he is hunting is in a forest. Three panels.

ETA: We've gotten a few questions about the term prompt. "Prompt" refers to the vid/piece of art that will be used in the claims post.

ETA 2:  There have been a few questions about what the rating refers to - the fic or the art.  We'd like you to include a rating for the art itself first, but please feel free to include a note about the rating of the fic you're looking to inspire as well.  E.g.  "Rating:  Art is PG13, but the fic can be higher. ;)"  ...or something.

Are you aware of the accusations being made here? http://community.livejournal.com/spnsecrets/50603.html.

I'd love to hear what you have to say on the subject.

Sorry about the late reply - I didn't see your comment buried in the thread, which is totally my fault.

The idea for this challenge came from spnpermanon, in a discussion about the trekreversebang. Writers and artists alike (all posting anon) seemed enthusiastic about the idea, so we started working on making it a reality. If you're concerned about the validity of the mods Livejournal accounts, please feel free to take a look at our journals (bauble, attempt_unique, ksock and julia_sets). You will find that only one of these journals is truly a sock account.

I'm sorry to hear that someone is making accusations like this, but instead of focusing on that we'd rather continue along with the challenge and do what we can to make it a success. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
