hello! super interested in this! got some questions...how will the artists and writers be paired up for the event? is it random or do the artist pick which fic they want to draw for? can an artist draw for multiple fics? and if writer or artist have someone in mind they want to work with, can they sign up as an artist/writer duo?

Thank you for your interest!! :D we're super excited to get it started next year so getting questions is awesome 😎 ❤️

How will the artists and writers be paired up for the event? is it random or do the artists pick which fic they want to draw for?

Much like other big bangs, artists will rank their personal preferences from a list of anonymised fic summaries, and we'll try and match primary preferences so that every fic has at least one artist. Depending on sign ups, it may be that some people have more then one artist (but hopefully not vice versa). So artists do "pick", but if your first preference has heaps of interest and your second preference only has yourself, it may be that we'll pair you with your second preference instead. We want to make sure people get projects they're excited for! 🥰

Can an artist draw for multiple fics?

If you believe you can finish the minimum requirements, then we'll allow an artist to select multiple fics, (max of 2), but what we'll most likely do is if you want to make more art for some else you'd be totally encouraged to! You just wouldn't be their official "partner" - you could still follow the check-ins etc. but there would be an expectation that your partner gets first priority. We just want to make sure that everyone gets at least one fic/art piece combo

However, there will also be pinch hitters, which sounds like something you may be interested in - artists that fill in at the end, in case someone's partner drops out prior to finishing their art.

If a writer or artist has someone in mind they want to work with, can they sign up as an artist/writer duo?

While we can't stop collusion if you're really dedicated (😂), our personal preference is that artists/authors sign up by themselves. The mods think it makes the event more fun to really experience the selection process and prepping anon summaries etc. and it means more opportunities to make new friends :3

Also, if you're signing up as a duo lthen it's not really like you need the event to work together? 🤭 You'd already know of an idea you wanted to create with your friend ❤️ which goes a little against the basis of this event

I adore the way you draw hair <3!!

Thank you so much! It’s definitely my favorite thing to draw.

Have a Superboy doodle.. Conners hair is particularly fun to paint!

i draw the batkids a lot but my faves are clark and bruce. unfortunately, they are really hard for me to draw but at least i can draw the kid versions of them

i think…the kents and alfred did their best to raise clark and bruce. no one knew the grand destinies ahead of them... they were just two very scared and lonely kids.

clark's drawing was inspired by one of adam hughes covers for superman returns and all of the colors in superman for all seasons

bruce's drawing was inspired by...the way the light hit a street sign while i was driving around near sunset
