Date: 2016-05-23 06:07 pm (UTC)I heavily considered signing up as an artist over there, but I am not THAT much of a Marvel fangirl, honestly. I've only just started seeing all the MCU movies over the past year or so, still am catching up on those but I would be all caught up on all of them by the time art had to be made. I also saw maybe the first 9? episodes of Daredevil... and for whatever reason was never very compelled to finish even season 1, although I lowkey do plan to continue watching that show EVENTUALLY... but like, idk, it just seemed like it probably would be a bad idea to join and be an artist over there especially when I know I'm already gonna be busy writing a fic for the Femslash Big Bang that crosses over the version of Kara from the new TV show Supergirl with Iris from the CW version of The Flash... XD
BUT THEN... I noticed: http://marvelbang.tumblr.com/dcu and I um... couldn't resist lol.
So I signed up as an artist here in the DC sister bang!! Making an AU fanvideo about a DC Comics-based TV show is something I know I could do much easier than an AU video that uses the MCU movies. I'm way more familiar with vidding these TV shows. I've actually made some AU-ish vids in DC fandoms before - the first big bang I was in as an artist was a Glee one where I used a few clips of Barry from The Flash in an AU capacity as "Sebastian" on Glee and used Quentin from Arrow as Blaine's dad anyway (Plus some bonus clips from Smallville) lmao... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvDGCEQvBEg But also, I do have some AU Smallville videos in my history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeO4N5u_04M&index=4&list=PLD0E1F69CFE6AF6E7 etc. And I've been vidding the canon for The Flash, Supergirl, Arrow, etc quite a bit lately and could make my first AU vid using Legends of Tomorrow or Supergirl with much greater ease than anything in Marvel's world. XD
Actually, the truth is that if I'd known about this big bang I might've signed up to write my Kara/Iris (Supergirl/The Flash) story for this bang instead, because then I'd feel less pressure to make femslash the focus of my story and instead maybe I'd be exploring the worldbuilding and even would feel comfortable exploring some het ships to just as strong a degree within my first EVER crossover story haha... but idk. I am pretty happy to be a part of the Femslash Big Bang because it is a bigger bang and that makes it extra exciting, because I do feel femslash deserves to be the focus of at least one of my long fics I attempt to write (this is my very first time doing that!!), and PLUS, now that I'm doing my writing all over there, I just might be able to get podfic made for me as my art!! XD There are actually quite a few artists over in the Femslash big bang who know DC fandoms btw. You might want to use them as a resource if you find yourself needing to recruit any more...

Date: 2016-05-23 06:09 pm (UTC)(Part 2 of my comment, no links this time:)
As for this DCU big bang, though:
I actually am really hoping here that there's a chance I'll get to do podfic as my art for a story in a DC-based TV fandom I know, though, because I've only done podfic as "art" in one big bang type thing once before. And I have never really performed a podfic for a DC based fandom before (unless the team podfic I'm hosting counts, but I barely speak in that one!).
If there's anything I love, it's expanding my fannish horizons and trying something I haven't gotten a chance to do before... Plus I think podficcing an ~11,000 word story will end up being maybe slightly more time consuming than making a fanvideo trailer? (If the story is closer to 20,000 words, then, well, slightly longer than making two full length AU fanvideo trailers lol). But a podfic will in the end become a product I'm slightly more likely to be truly, completely proud of?? XD Lol I tend to get super embarrassed by at least parts of my AU fanvideos where I try to make manips and all of that stuff. I tend to feel like I am not as talented there as I wish I was. I will try my best either way, for sure, though. I'd be pretty satisfied being paired up to make either type of art.
Anyway, I'm excited about participating in this big bang as an artist and I REALLY hope there is gonna be a fandom I am familiar with in here. XD I'm pretty flexible with characters/ships I enjoy creating for... but fandoms, not usually as flexible.
Sorry for the long comment here. I just really wanted to share my POV!!

Date: 2016-05-23 06:26 pm (UTC)Hi! I'm so glad you reached out. We'd absolutely love to have you do podfic for this big bang.
The trouble we've had in the past with podfic is that the timeline is different - the way our writing structure works, stories don't have to be finished until they're posted. We've had people claim a fic to do podfic, only to find out that the rough draft the author submitted was really, really rough, and they had a very short time in which to record the fic once it was actually polished up. We've come up with two possible solutions for this.
One, if you want to work with someone on a brand-new story, you can try looking in the find a partner post to see if someone there is looking for a podficcer (or you can ask around on tumblr or twitter or wherever your fannish life lives). That way, the author knows ahead of time that they're going to have to finish writing sooner than the posted deadline for authors, so you have plenty of time to record. If you go with this route, great! Let me know, and I'll move you and your author from the individual sign-ups to the tandem sign-up, so you're already paired up to work together.
Two, if you have a story you've read in the past that you'd like to record, we have a solo sign-up option. The author isn't a participant, since the story has already been written, but if you get permission to podfic their 10k+ story, they we can sign you up to participate as a solo podficcer. The benefit here is that you can choose something you're already familiar and comfortable with, and you have from now until posting time (in October) to complete and polish your podfic. If you go with this route, also great! Again, let me know so I can move your sign-up to the solo sign-ups.
If you want, you can absolutely stay signed up as an accompanying fanworker, just like you are now, and take your chances with doing a podfic or a fanvid when claims roll around in late August. The choice is absolutely yours - I just wanted to let you know what options were available to you :)

Date: 2016-05-23 06:35 pm (UTC)(If you google the phrase "where to find marked as spam comments livejournal", the second and third posts that come up might help you find it? I can still see it myself, greyed out. They tell me my comment was marked as spam per this community's guidelines. I know in the Small Fandom Bang, which I recently participated in, the mod had some trouble finding marked-as-spam comments at first but eventually she was able to approve them. )
Secondly, I mainly signed up as an accompanying fanwork artist because the deadline for signing up solo has since passed, it was May 16th?? which is something I kind of mentioned in part 1 of my comment. So I figured "darn it, I'm too late" and didn't really give signing up that way all that much consideration...
no subject
Date: 2016-05-23 06:42 pm (UTC)As for signing up as a solo fanworker - yes, the deadline has technically passed, but if that's something you want to do, I'm willing to let you sign up there a little late, no worries. Let me know (and I'll see if i can find that comment!).

Date: 2016-05-23 07:37 pm (UTC)(Sorry again about the inconvenience!) I hate that any/all links will end up making it marked as spam, even a link to another livejournal page lol... so annoying... (Also, now my apology for writing SUCH a long comment is more appropriate haha.)
Honestly, I've now got myself all psyched up to work alongside someone else so I don't think in the end I want to do this as a solo participant.
I will check out the "Find a partner" post now, though, or even ask around elsewhere if that doesn't work out... because if you're willing to let me be a partner/willing to let me sign up tandem late, that means I'll be much more likely to be able to do podfic for it, you're completely right.
It worked out for me before in the Sciles Mini Bang 2014/2015 because it was a single fandom - actually single PAIRING - bang, so technically podficcing ANY of them *could've* worked, even if some would be more difficult for me than others because of length or subject matter/theme. I would've known the fandom enough, and because they made authors include what % complete their story was and also how many words they had so far, and so I was able to pick a story to podfic that was actually 100% completed and only 5300 or so words, a super win/win and that just helped me a lot as a podfic-type artist in that mini-bang.
I was willing to try my best to work with my author and if I had to I could always make a fanvideo trailer, which is something that can be done while the author is still finishing up writing their fic. XD But you're right that I'd have more fun if I could have a partner I'm working with ahead of time and if they could maybe finish writing early just so that I could do a podfic. So I will... embark on a quest now to try to find a partner.
Thanks for being willing to bend the deadline for me!!

Date: 2016-10-20 08:42 pm (UTC)The beta can be someone you know in fandom or it can be someone in your real life that is willing to edit the fic for you, but someone needs to have beta-ed it for you before you can post it in this bang.
