Hello folks!

Well, there was interest in a Big Bang, so unsuitenedt and I will be running one again this year!



As last year, the challenge will be hosted here on narniaexchange, and again, it will not be an anonymous exchange - instead, you are committing to writing a longer story and completing it in the timeframe given. Because we know not everyone is comfortable with a 20,000 word story, we are again offering the option of a Mini Bang, with a minimum of 10,000 words.

We will try again to have an art component this year, but we don't have a lot of people interested in signing up for it. So please, if you're not interested in writing, but would still like to participate, we'd love to have you sign up to create an artwork for the stories. And if you're a writer, but would also like to create some art, feel free to sign up to do both. And make sure to link this to all your friends - the more participants, the better!

Prompts posting will begin this Sunday so start thinking! There is no limit to the amount of prompts you can post - the more variety, the better! Signups will begin November 4 and submissions are due April 14. That gives both artists and writers extra time.

You will find a complete set of rules and FAQ here. All posts will be in the narniaexchange community, so please join or watch the comm so you don't miss a thing!

*************

We'll also being running the Christmas Card Drabble Exchange this year!



Sign-ups will be at the end of November.Same rules as last year, found here. But we will be updating the schedule and the dates there soon, so DON'T mark those on your calendar. :D

If you have any questions about either the Big Bang or the Christmas Card Drabble Exchange, feel free to comment here, or email us at narniaficexchange@gmail.com.

Hello everyone! That was the last of the Big Bang fics and accompanying artwork last night, and it was a great pair to go out on, I think!

I want to say thank you to everyone who participated and made this Big Bang a success. So thank you to all the writers, artists and betas, and thank you to all the readers and commenters! You all deserve a big hand for your hard work and enthusiasm.

Tonight we have a bonus for you! We had a late dropout in the Big Bang, but the artwork was already done. So I think you can consider this a trailer for the story!
