This is just a preview post (hence the disabled comments - PM me if you have questions) for artists who have signed up for Round Five of this Big Bang (and there's still time to sign up as an artist, here).

There are currently twenty-three summaries (a few more may be added before the selection post goes live), which is a record number for this Big Bang. You are all made of awesome!

Since there are a lot more stories than artists, we're going to do things differently this year. Artists may select up to THREE different stories to illustrate or otherwise create fanworks for. When making the selections on the 20th (this Sunday), if an artist wants to pick more than one story, the artist will have to note first, second and third choices. If two artists select the same story as first choice, the first artist to make the claim will get it. If one artist picks the story as first choice but there’s an earlier claim to the story as a second choice, the artist who selects as first choice will get that story. The same holds true for second vis-à-vis third choices.
