Sign Ups are Open!

Have you ever wanted to make content for McShep but worked better on a deadline?

Have you always had that wonderful idea in the back of your head that you keep saying you're going to write but never do?

This is your chance to get it out!

Simply sign up via this form!

When you sign up, you can sign up as one of three types of creators.

The first type is the Primary Creator. You’re the idea person and you will send me what your prompt/idea is on April 20th. I will then collate all these ideas on one giant document for Secondary Creator’s to claim. Once all Primaries are claimed, I’ll email all the primary creators to tell them who they’re working with and make sure they get in contact with each other.

If you’re a Secondary Creator, from April 20th-30th you will claim a prompt from the document. I will give you the email to contact your primary creator so you can start collaborating. Secondary creatures usually have smaller projects then the Primary Creator, but it’s not necessary.

If you’re a Pitch Hitter, this means if someone has to drop out (it happens, no judgement!), you step in. Pitch Hitters can be called in at any time up until the end of July, when things are due. Pitch Hitters are not required to follow the same requirements as the person they’re filling in for. (So if someone writing a 50k fic ends up dropping out, you don’t have to write a 50k fic instead. You’ll talk to the other partner & come up with a compromise that works for both you.)

Schedule

• April 20th- Primary Creators need to be signed up & submit a summary of their work to either the email or the tumblr.

FAQ: 

• When can I start posting in the AO3 collection?

As soon as you want.  It is anonymous & unrevealed until July 31st.

• Can I sign up to be a primary & secondary creator?

Of course!

• Can I request to have no one partnered with me?

Yes!

• When is the last day I can drop out?

I would prefer that July 1st is the last day anyone drops out, but completely understand that we cannot plan for everything.  So you can drop out at any time, but I would really prefer you finished out! Cheerleading can be provided.

• Is there a Discord?

There is a general McShep/SGA Discord, but it is not exclusively a Big Bang Discord. That being said, you can find fellow fans there.  Here's the invite!
