Musing: Big Bangs

[wilderthan]

Last year I took part in two Big Bangs (kink_bigbang and firefly_bigbang! ♥) and enjoyed it mightily. I've also joined au_bigbang now, so here's hoping I've learnt from my frantic panics of last year...

Note: a Big Bang challenge involves both authors and artists. First authors write long fics, for example 20k long, and then artists create art, fanmixes, fanvids, etc, to accompany them.

Anyway, so a couple of questions occurred:

1a) Are there Big Bangs for Dean/Castiel or the women of Supernatural?
1b) If yes, where/when?
2a) Would anyone apart from me like there to be?
2b) If I start running one and realise I have taken on a gargantuan task I can't complete alone, does anyone want to help?
2c) If you want one, what kind of word count target would you like? What kind of timeframe?

P.S. I'm aware that there's one for the whole fandom, spn_j2_bigbang, right? And that starts up soon. I'd run one or both of these later in the year, I think, or over a longer time period, and it'd focus specifically on Dean/Castiel or the women of SPN, to encourage more fic along those lines.

Edit: At this point I've more or less convinced myself I want to run a "women of SPN" Big Bang omgritenao. I'm just not sure anyone would want to participate but me... Less convinced about a Dean/Castiel one: there's plenty of love for D/C in SPN fandom already.

Maybe once the other big bangs are out of the way? I mean, I'd be interested in a Dean/Castiel one, but I'd also be worried about taking on too much since all of these happen at about the same time. I'd also like to help if you decide to do this. I think 20k would be a good target word count as well.

Like I said in the post, "I'd run one or both of these later in the year, I think, or over a longer time period". I was pondering timing it so posting would be August/September.

Yeah, I just meant I'd prefer the later in the year one than the longer time period. I put it in the form of a questions for reasons known only to my fingers. But, yeah, I think August would be a good date to start.

Summer sounds great and D/C, too!
I am definitely interested :)
