About the Artists' Challenge

[bookshop.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone! Firstly, I just want to say how excited I am to see so many people excited about the second run of the Big Bang. It's thrilling to be an H/D fan after book 6, isn't it?

We have received a number of requests from some very talented artists who are interested in drawing for our fics. This is the part where I say that there are an absolutely staggering number of fabulous artists in the Harry Potter fandom. Your 3 mods spent literally hours agonizing over the fact that we wanted to invite basically the entire artistic fandom. At some point we realised that inviting anymore artists would mean a challenge far too huge and weighty for us to handle. It's just too many people.

If we didn't invite you it is not because we didn't like your art. (Trust me. Us/Fanart=OTP.) But because of the size of the project, we are denying requests to join the community; we simply cannot handle more art than our current 26 artists will produce.

However: this does not mean that you cannot still participate.

When the site is launched on Feb. 14, we will make a master post for each submitted fic, allowing fans to review the fics and post any fanart. So keep watching the community and have your pens out on Valentine's Day!

As always, don't hesitate to use this post for suggestions/questions/comments.
