So, question!

Is there any particular reason artists and writers can't be treated in perfectly symmetrical ways? Because I know a lot of artists have stories to tell, or ideas they put into pictures that they would love someone to make whole fics out of, or artists who just outright tell stories with single arts. There are so many arts out there that would themselves make fabulous fic prompts... and a lot of writers who want to write but aren't sure they have the ideas, or just need a spark of inspiration.

so... is there any reason we couldn't just do it in two steps?

Step one: if you have ideas, author or artist, start making stuff for them!

Step two: if you want to make stuff but aren't sure how to get started, or want ideas, or whatever, join in once the step 1 folks have something started (at the point where artists join in most bigbangs).

I mean, I imagine there are logistical nightmares, but are they insurmountable? Are there hurdles? Am I missing something obvious? I've never done a bigbang, so I might be saying something very silly! =|

On the surface at least, this feels more evenhanded and like it would be more of a collaboration instead of a "Hey artists here is your yoke, get to haulin'."


Well, whatever comes of this suggestion, [livejournal.com profile] chaosraven, thanks for bringing this up!
