can i ask for the thought process behind including playlists/moodboards in the art section? i assume it's with the intent of getting the most amount of participation, but it feels like the criteria for art vs writing is incredibly unbalanced, not to mention the variable workload and expectations within the overarching "art" category. especially with the concept of a reverse bang in mind, writing something based off a playlist/moodboard is very different than art, and a lot more complicated.
Apologies for the delay in response, anon miyacester!
We wanted to include different types of creators in the bang as there are various types of art and different mediums for creativity. When writing based on a playlist you can either listen to it as you write and discuss the intentions of the playlist with the creator, look at the graphic/info they've provided and come up with a concept then go with it. For moodboards, the inspiration can be taken from the various images and ideas and the info doc from the alt creator. Moodboards and playlists need to be complete enough for the artist to work with and curated over the creation period.
If there is a type of art you don't want to work with, you may put that as something you don't want to be matched with during sign-ups.
