Hi all,

As you can see, I've been a busy beaver and have created the following events:

Both of these start on March 1, which is in just a couple of days.

I would dearly love some art which will help me (and hopefully other people) to advertise these events. In particular, I need a banner that has  the key info on it:

  • The sign up date and minimum requirements for the Venom Big Bang, plus the AO3 url (https://archiveofourown.org/collections/venom_big_bang_2020)
  • The kick-off date and prizes for Venom 2 Bingo, plus the Dreamwidth masterpost url (https://symbrock.dreamwidth.org/25689.html)

Ideally, it would be great if that banner could be split into two separate ones that could be used individually for each fest as well.

Any takers? *makes puppydog eyes*

Okay friends,

Based on your poll responses, here's what I'm thinking we'll do to celebrate Venom 2. I'd really like your feedback.

Clicky for bigness.



There are four fests:
  • A non-traditional Big Bang, which would open for sign ups very soon and post in October
  • A bingo fest that would start soon and hum along until October
  • A fanworks exchange that would sign up around July and post in October
  • A prompt fest right around when the excitement for the movie starts, and running through October

The rules for the Big Bang will mostly be based on the rules for the DeanCas Big Bang, because that is a well-oiled machine. But!!! I'm not a huge fan of making everything fiction-centric, so instead, I propose that we'll have a primary creator who starts the project, who will then be matched up with a remixer/illustrator/podficcer who will expand on the primary creator's work.

So a final Big Bang that's posted could be, for instance:
  • two stories which riff off each other, or
  • art and a vid on the same theme, or
  • a story and art/vid (the traditional pairing), or
  • a story and a podfic
  • etc.
I think this will work, but only if people are willing to give it a try. Before I go ahead with this idea, I'd like feedback, please. Would you be willing to sign up for a Big Bang like this, that isn't the traditional story/art combo?

If you are a writer, would you sign up as a remixer? Would you be okay with collaborating with a remixer?

Hi all,

I need another pinch-hitter for the Venom Holiday Exchange. The request is for fiction. Deadline is Thursday 9 January, and the prompts are behind the cut.

If you can do it, please comment here -- I have comments screened -- or email me at cupidsbower at gmail.

CLAIMED!

Hi all,

I've been vidding, and extracted out this fragment of Venom chomping a head. I wanted to get a sense for whether the added blood is too much or not.

Hi everyone,

I really need a banner I can use in order to promote [community profile] symbrock  on various communities, such as [community profile] fandomcalendar  and dw-community-promo. You'll see the kinds of banners people use there. So far, I've just posted occasionally to other comms with no banner.

My artistic talents are a bit limited. I could make a (very ordinary looking) banner, and will if it comes to that, but I'd much rather have banners from you awesome artists. More than one is great as I can cycle through them for different fests and things instead of using the same one every time.

If you have questions you can comment below, or email me on cupidsbower at gmail.

Ideally, the banner will have:
  • the name of the community on it
  • easy-to-read text about how we're a community that's for "sharing all kinds of fan works about Eddie and Venom" -- you can use that exact wording, or come up with something more succinct/better
  • some art that showcases Eddie and Venom in some way -- maybe something that evokes both the movie and the comics
  • a size somewhere between 350x150  and 700x500 would be pretty good, I think. Not too big, not too small.

Here are some of the banners posted on the comms above that I think are really effective:

https://dw-community-promo.dreamwidth.org/516852.html
https://dw-community-promo.dreamwidth.org/514804.html
https://dw-community-promo.dreamwidth.org/507026.html
https://fandomcalendar.dreamwidth.org/500534.html
https://fandomcalendar.dreamwidth.org/494210.html
https://fandomcalendar.dreamwidth.org/487301.html
https://fandomcalendar.dreamwidth.org/487032.html
https://fandomcalendar.dreamwidth.org/485900.html

This could totally work for a bingo square, depending on your card and how you interpret it. :)

Hi, I’m Blanks! I saw the movie about a week ago and have been fixating since. I’ve never gone out of my way to read any of the Venom comics but now that it’s caught my interest what are the most recommend series? The Costa/Sandoval run from 2016 is free on ComiXology unlimited but there’s definitely a wide variety to choose from! Thoughts?
