The Smallville Big Bang Challenge was originally proposed in February, 2006. It was an idea that was thrown out on a whim; we had no idea that it would be received with such overwhelming enthusiasm. Shortly after the idea was proposed, the SV Big Bang Community (
svbigbang) was created, and the rules were posted.
SVBB is based completely on the Harry Potter Big Bang, Baby Challenge (big_bang_hd). Stories were required to be over 50,000 words, Clark/Lex and beta read. The “reward” for writing a novel was the illustration of your story by the fandom's most talented artists.
While many people signed up, most found that writing a 50,000 word story was... difficult. *g* We ended up with seven stories, and over thirty pieces of artwork.
Enjoy, and remember to leave feedback for both the authors and artists.
