SFBB15: Artist Sign-Up Post
GENERAL RULES & INFORMATION
1. Please make sure you join the Small Fandoms Bang community atsmallfandombang. It will be the Artist’s responsibility to watch or track the community to make sure you don’t miss anything.
2. Acceptable art includes: A fanmix with at least 8 songs, a series of at least 8 icons, a video, a podfic, a single piece of two-dimensional art such as a cover or banner (manip, drawing, etc), or title and chapter banners. [At least one piece of art is required; if the artist would like to produce additional work that is absolutely acceptable.]
NEW 2a. AI submissions will NOT be allowed. There will be no warnings; if you are caught using AI to create your submission you’ll be banned from participating in the current and any future round.
3. Artists may co-create art. If you choose to co-create art, please only sign up once and list both user names in the sign-up.
4. Artists may have also signed up to write fic, but may not claim their own fic for which to produce art.
5. Please note that check-ins are mandatory.
6. Artists will have the opportunity to claim additional fic if there are any unclaimed fic after the first round of claiming.
7. Artwork must not be posted anywhere on the web prior to your posting date.
8. Since this is a multi-fandom, small fandom challenge there is a high probability that Artists will be asked to create artwork for fandoms they are unfamiliar with. Authors are aware that they may be called upon to assist their Artist with screencaps, character descriptions, etc.
For more information, please read the Rules and FAQ before you sign up.

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!
We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)
I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.
Ta for now!
