Fic: Six More Weeks Of Winter

Story Title: Six More Weeks Of Winter
Fandom: Lupin III
Link: archiveofourown.org/works/59082127/chapters/150632977
Summary:
Things had been at equilibrium with Zenigata for years. Then Moneta came along.
At some point after their last job in this middle-of-nowhere town, Zenigata had suffered some kind of nasty head injury. Had lost his memory. And he'd assumed that he was supposed to be a thief, because apparently even with amnesia he was obsessed with Lupin.
By all rights, it could have been a funny story, something for Lupin to lord over him after he got his memory back. Could have even made good blackmail material, if Pops was the kind of guy who would ever need to be blackmailed.
But then Lupin went and had sex with him. And that changed the equation quite a bit.
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply, tobacco and alcohol use, mild violence
Characters: Arsene Lupin III, Zenigata Koichi, Jigen Disuke, Ishikawa Goemon XIII
Pairings: Arsene Lupin III/Zenigata Koichi
When I Started: 2021
How I Lost My Shit: Well, I usually either start writing with some sort of plan, or I write one scene and then stop forever. This fic was the latter one-- I wrote the first scene and set it down for three years.
How I Finished My Shit: I originally signed up for the WIP Big Bang with two fics that were not this one. Then, about a week or two after signups the muse abruptly left both of them and flew into this one and suddenly I HAD TO FINISH IT RIGHT NOW.
Eventually, okay, I petered out a little bit, and got to the point I usually get when I spend too long on a fic where I have no idea if I'm even typing words any more and editing is like pulling teeth. Still, this is not only my longest completed fic to date by a country mile, but my first ever multichapter, and I'm pretty damned proud of that!!

Fic: An Unexpected Hostility

Story Title: An Unexpected Hostility
Fandom: Harry Potter
Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/59927416/chapters/152884201
Summary: Neville is an investigator in the Office of Restricted Materials, investigating potential leucrotta trafficking, when he crosses paths with an old nemesis.
Warnings: Violence
Characters: Neville Longbottom, Draco Malfoy
Pairings: Neville/Draco
When I Started: February 2024
How I Lost My Shit: After having a strong start, I stalled after a few months. Coupled with some big life changes, I was tempted to put this away and finish it later.
How I Finished My Shit: Seeing this challenge at the same time that I was starting to lose focus was very serendipitous. Signing up and committing helped me push through and keep writing. This gave me a very clear deadline (even as this story grew much longer than I expected).

Fic: the tender things we're working on

Story Title: the tender things we're working on
Fandom: Marvel
Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/58741834
Art link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/58521109
Summary:

Steve buys a run-down house on a whim; it needs work. Bucky shows up.

Contains: probably inaccurate home remodeling things, lots of painting the walls, Bucky figuring out how to be mostly himself again, Steve deciding to paint a mural on one of the walls (but it's really a metaphor), Steve and Nat crashing some formerly-HYDRA bases and getting into a few scrapes, eventual Steve and Bucky hooking up.


Warnings: Depictions of violence, minor medical things re: Bucky's WS arm
Characters: Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, Natasha Romanov, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Sam Wilson
Pairings: Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes
When I Started: May 2023
How I Lost My Shit: I read a bunch of random Steve/Bucky one weekend after rewatching CA:TWS and there were some things where I thought, I like these ideas but I would do things this other way, so I jotted down a few notes here and there, which turned into making an outline for a story where they fixed up a house and hoping that would be enough to satisfy the urge. And then I couldn't stop thinking about it and figured, this is enough of an outline that I could potentially do NaNoWriMo with this. So I wrote 50k… then promptly stopped wanting to look at it.
How I Finished My Shit: When I saw WIP BB was running again I figured it would be a good way to finish up, since having the regular check-ins and a deadline is generally helpful to my writing process! And then it ended up the longest thing I've ever written.

Completed Fic: In the Name of a Friend (The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)

Posting on behalf of a participant!

Story Title: In the Name of a Friend
Fandom: The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System
Link: AO3
Summary: A story of how the world was changed when Shen Jiu decided to try to honor his friend's final wishes.

Part 1: Focuses on establishing the setting and Qijiu.

Part 2: Focused on establishing Qijiuplane.

Part 3: Getting revenge on Huan Hua Palace.

Warnings: graphic depictions of violence, major character death
Characters: Shang Qinghua, Shen Jiu | Shen Qingqiu, Yue Qingyuan
Pairings: Shang Qinghua/Shen Jiu | Shen Qingqiu/Yue Qingyuan
When I Started: December 2022
How I Lost My Shit: It's a mix of factors but I would say one major factor was a comment I received in one of the parts of the series that made me lose a lot of my motivation in the story so I decided to focus on other projects.
How I Finished My Shit: I always knew I wanted to finish. Having something like the WIP Big Bang gave me a clear deadline to work towards to see it through.

Fic Hope Can Be a Cruel Gift

Fandom: Hazbin Hotel

Link: here on AO3.

Summary: As Angel comes to realize that he does like living at the hotel, his hopefulness takes a beating. First, his dad and brother show up but that’s a problem he knows how to handle. However, when someone decides to destroy everyone’s happiness, Angel may have to fall back on his old mafia-born ways and violent sins to keep the people he cares about safe.

Warnings: Mind the tags. I plan to tag the more problematic chapters in their notes as well but between Henroin and Val you can expect verbal abuse, gas lighting, physical abuse, sexual abuse, non-con/dub-con, drug usage. There is canon level violence as well. Also attempted kidnapping and kidnapping will be a thing in this.

Characters: Angel Dust, Husk, Charlie Morningstar, Lucifer Morningstar, Vaggie, Sir Pentious, Arackniss, Henroin, Niffty, Alastor, Vox, Valentino, Velvette

Pairings: Angel Dust/Husk, Charlie/Vaggie, Vox/Valentino (Valentino/Angel Dust less as a ship and more in the canon sexual abusive relationship they have as master and slave)

When I Started: April 2024

How I Lost My Shit: I actually didn’t lose it this time. I decided to make this my project because I wanted a focal point

How I Finished My Shit: I wrote like a woman possessed. This thing is over 90K. Thanks also to Kyra_Maximoff for the art and the cheerleading.

Art for Take these broken wings

Art Title: Art for Take these broken wings
Fandom: Our Flag Means Death
Link: AO3
Warnings: N/A
Bragging Rights:This is a canon divergent story where the Kraken crew and Stede's crew have a hard time coming back together after the death of Ed. I tried to pick images where all the characters look a little worried or unsure of themselves. It was hard to find images of Stede looking serious, but the author and I managed to find one we thought worked, and I like how it turned out.

Fic: separated by Fate, only to be brought back together

Story Title: separated by Fate, only to be brought back together
Fandom: Star Wars Original Trilogy
Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/59264770
Summary:

Soulmates were something Fate gave to those that needed someone. Someone to compliment who they were and the path they would take. They belonged to those in all walks of life, yet were so rare that some never saw one.

Leia saw hers as the guide to where she would go.

Luke saw his as a promise that he would find something more.

Warnings: None
Characters: Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, Breha Organa, Bail Organa, Owen Lars, Beru Whitesun, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader
Pairings: Leia Organa & Luke Skywalker, Bail Organa & Leia Organa, Breha Organa & Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker & Beru Whitesun, Owen Lars & Luke Skywalker
When I Started: This was started in May of 2021 and was mostly stalled for three years.
How I Lost My Shit: I got to the point where I was hitting movie canon and just could not deal with the idea of rewriting the entire original trilogy. So I quit writing and left it for years. There was just no way I was going to do that to myself. Especially since it was already one of my longest fics ever at that point.
How I Finished My Shit: I used the power of this event to make myself look at it again. And then decided I wasn't going to do a full rewrite. But that I would only worry about the parts I needed to and end this at the point that felt the most right for them.

Supernatural/Marvel Fic - AOIVEAE

(Posted on behalf of a participant!)

Story Title: AOIVEAE
Fandom: Supernatural, Marvel
Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/15445650
Summary: Loki had always struggled to come to terms with who he was, versus who he was supposed to be.
Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence
Characters: Loki (Marvel), Gabriel (Supernatural), Thor (Marvel)
Pairings: None
When I Started: July 2018
How I Lost My Shit: There was no plot to this fic. I went back and edited it several times over the years as I became more experienced, but I had no idea what to add.
How I Finished My Shit: I wanted to complete it so badly that I constructed an entire plot from scratch, in the end. It was half spite-fueled, with regards to the one bookmarker who tagged this fic as 'dead' (happy September Spite Month!), and half hope fueled, by all the kudos I'd still get years later and the one bookmarker who tagged it 'never gonna give you up'.

WIPBB / WIP Reverse Bang 2024 - How To Post Your Complete Fic & Art

On your posting day, there is a specific form we would like you to fill out to post your fanworks. It allows you bragging rights for finishing your fic/art, and also links to the location of your fic (it should be up somewhere like AO3/FF.net/your personal Tumblr under a tag/any other fic or journal community) in its completion. We also have an AO3 collection for this round where you can post the AO3 postings of your fic and art to when you are finished posting new chapters.

These are the bragging rights form for WIPBB authors:

You can submit your post to either Tumblr (by submitting the post) or Dreamwidth (by adding the post to the queue) or both sites as early as you like and we'll queue it to post on the date you've claimed. Don't worry about tagging posts; we will use a system we've determined.

And don't worry, WIPBB artists and WIP reverse Bang authors, we've got you covered, too! You get your own separate post, though you are welcome to just have your author post your art on their post if you want. If you don't plan on making your own separate post to the comm, you still must do the final posting check-in. In this post, you can share things like this for the WIPBB artists:

Your posting day is all about you. So celebrate! Don't be modest! Shout it to the world! We all come from so many fandoms, but we all came together to finish our shit, and that's something to shed a proud tear over.

* This part of the bragging rights is totally optional; if you don't want to include it on your post you don't have to.

2024 Round - WIPBB Check In #4 Is Closed/WIPBB & WIPRB Rough Draft Check In Is Live!

WIPBB Check In #4 is closed. Thank you to everyone who filled out the form! Participants who had concerns have been emailed and the many thank yous have been shared with the other mods.

The rough draft check in is live! The form is linked below and is open to all participants (WIPBB authors & artists and WIPRB artists), though it's only mandatory this round for WIPBB authors and WIPRB artists. There is a new section to the form you can use to indicate whether you're filling out the form as a WIPBB author or artist or a WIPRB artist or author. Hopefully, it's not too confusing, but we're going to try it out during this test run to see if we can just combine most forms next time we another WIPRB round.

The form is up at https://forms.gle/WuFLrmBstqXwraraA

2024 Round - Regular WIPBB Check In #3 Is Live / Reverse WIPBB Thumbnails Submissions Are A Go

Check In #3 for the Regular WIPBB is open! This is not a mandatory form (ie if you miss it we won't kick you out), but we'd appreciate it if you fill it out anyway if you plan on posting fic.

Check In #3

The form for the Thumbnail Submissions is live! It's basically the same first few parts as the Snippet submission form (asking for a title if you have it, character/pairings, fandom...if it's original just put Original Work...warnings if needed and a brief description of the work to entice someone to claim it). The actual submission page is a little different. Please upload your thumbnail to PostImages.org or another image saving server (just no Photoshop, please...they're doing their users dirty right now) and link it in Thumbnail #1. If you want, you can include up to two more thumbnails as well, but you only have to upload one.

Thumbnail Submissions
Entry tags:

2024 - Regular WIPBB Snippet Submissions Are Live!

The form will have all the information you need to give us in order to submit your fic for art. Feel free to copy/paste each snippet in its slot or use Google Docs links to link to your snippet, whichever is easier for you!

THIS IS JUST FOR THE REGULAR WIPBB, SO ONLY WRITERS WANTING ART NEED TO FILL IT OUT!

The form will close around the 14th of July.

2024 Round - Regular WIPBB Check In #2 Is Closed!

The form has been closed and I have replied to all the authors who left notes needing responses. Friendly reminder that the next important date in the Regular WIPBB is snippet submissions to get art, with the form going live July 1st and closing July 14th.
Entry tags:

2024 Round - Regular WIPBB Check In #2 Is Live!

Check In #2 is going live a few hours early because Mod Ragna has been sick off and on the last few days and finally felt well enough to get to the coffee shop with wi-fi today, but will probably pay for the spoons she used tomorrow.

THIS CHECK IN IS JUST FOR THE REGULAR WIPBB, SO ONLY WRITERS NEED TO CHECK IN!

The form will close on the 22nd of June as it was supposed to if I'd put it up later tonight/early tomorrow.

https://forms.gle/6Kw3zxpwcgQwnGGn9
Entry tags:

Check In #1 Ends Tomorrow!

You have a little over twelve hours to get your check in done. I may leave it open until I wake up on the 30th, but no longer than that. While check ins are optional, they help us a lot in keeping track of involvement.
