Sorry for the delay in posting the links to the forms here; I think I figured out how to post it to the top of the page until sign-ups are over.

We are running both a Big Bang and another round of the Reverse Bang, each with their own sign-up form. Please make sure you use the correct form!

( FAQ )

I have a question/concern that’s not mentioned here.

If you need help, you can always contact a mod and we will do our best to make sure that you get your story/art finished. The best and fastest method of contact is through our email, wipbigbang@gmail.com.

Posting for the 2025 International Fanworks Day Mini Bang will now end on March 1st!

Story Title: Awakening

Fandom: Glee & Goncharov crossover

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/43246185/chapters/108699384

Summary: Fruit, desire, and truth--will sharing an apple lead to carnal knowledge? Mormon missionary Blaine Anderson is in love with his mission companion, Kurt Hummel, but afraid to express his secret desires. Witnessing Katya Goncharova and Sofia Ambrosini at the fruit stand sparks him to act.

Warnings: Could be considered blasphemous depending on your religious beliefs.

Characters: Blaine Anderson, Kurt Hummel (major characters); Katya Goncharova, Sofia Ambrosini, Massimo Troisi (minor characters)

Pairings: Blaine Anderson/Kurt Hummel (main pairing); Katya/Sofia (minor but plot-important pairing)

When I Started: November 2022

How I Lost My Shit: I had a lot of other things I was working on, including huge WIP that took precedence over this one (and that I’m still working toward finishing sigh). Also just general life stuff.

How I Finished My Shit: I see the posts for the mini-bang every year. This year, I finally decided to participate. I sat down, reread that first chapter I had posted, tried to get back into its mood of Goncharovesque purple prose, and did my best. (And thank you for the compilers of the Goncharov summary Google Doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fbcn96MKyc1Bky6c0Ffex4APtar9iNht8ytfZHPpSss/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.72oyeg8j1ma2, which helped me reacquaint myself with a lot of the lore.)

       

 

Feel free to submit your completed mini-bang fics to the Tumbr and/or Dreamwitdth sites for posting now!

Between February 15th and February 22d, 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 Mini Bangauthors:

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, artists from the 2024 round who didn't post their art in time, 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:

Bragging Rights: *

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.
