WIP Big Bang Challenge 2018  
Hello all!

This year we've got a sort of mini challenge we're running before WIP Big Bang starts up in March. Welcome to the first ever WIP Big Bang Challenge! This challenge is happening in conjunction with Internation Fanworks Day on February 15th. IFD is a day to celebrate all the absolutely amazing fanworks created by fans, so what better way to participate in that than posting some finished WIPs?

Do you have WIPs that are too short for WIP Big Bang? Do you need a push to finish them? WIP Big Bang Challenge is all about getting short WIPs finished. You can post your finished works to our AO3 collection between now and February 15th, when they will be revealed for International Fanworks Day. Any kind of fanwork and any fandom are welcome!

We will be using the hashtags #IFD2018 and #WIPBigBangChallenge to post about this challenge across all our social media accounts. Feel free to use them as well to talk about the WIP you're working on for the challenge, to encourage other participants, or just to discuss WIPs and IFD.

Happy WIP finishing!!

This is a great idea! One question, though: the WIPs I want to use are already up on AO3. Can I submit them if I remove the previous parts on AO3 so I can keep comments and kudos?

I would like to know the answer to this, too!

WIPs already on AO3 are fine!
Reeby[personal profile] reeby10 on January 13th, 2018 08:42 pm (UTC)
WIPs already on AO3 are perfectly fine! You don't need to remove them or anything. If you submit to the collection, they should go unrevealed, so no one will see them until reveals on Feb 15th.

Nice! I just submitted two stories I finished today.

Oh hell yes I'm doing this. I have a few WIPs that are like, three chapters away from completion. Thanks!

Thanks! We're hoping to have lots of awesome WIPs finished :)

What would the minimum word count be? Most of what I've got that's unfinished is around 1500 words.
Reeby[personal profile] reeby10 on January 13th, 2018 08:50 pm (UTC)
No minimum word count! This is much looser than the regular big bang, it's really just about getting people to finish whatever WIPs they have.

If I have time, I'll do it. I still have WIPs in my folder. This is a great idea!
Reeby[personal profile] reeby10 on January 17th, 2018 12:40 am (UTC)
Wonderful! We hope you'll have time to participate :)
