Due to Mod Ragna not only being in a car accident a week ago but her laptop freezing as well, emergency posting will be extended to January 8th, 2026.

So the scheduled posting portion of WIPBB/WIPRB posting is now over! Thank you so much to everyone who has posted so far; we've had a lot of great fic and artwork and I for one have been truly dazzled by all the stuff posted.

If you opted for a December date (either originally or rescheduling during the posting period), you will hae until whenever I wake up on January 1st to either post your fic/art or email us at wipbigbang@gmail.com to drop out. I will be posting the info about the mini bang around midnight and then fingers crossed I will actually go to sleep before the sun comes up, and then I will post anything still waiting to be posted when I wake up and then posting will officially be over. Within the next week or two I will post the 2025 masterlist as well as both the 2024 Big Bang masterlist and the 2025 Mini Bang masterlist (both of which I started to compile but lost access to the files and just got access back this week).

If you had a posting date in September/October/November and didn't email us about rescheduling for December, you are still more than welcome to post in December as well! We had a lot of people who claimed dates who didn't post or alert us, so you still have time to post before you get banned for not posting. Post at any point in December by posting your Bragging Rights (found at https://wipbigbang.dreamwidth.org/210584.html) to the Tumblr (either by submitting them or tagging our blog in your post) or Dreamwidth. You must include the Bragging rights in the template or I won't reblog your post.

I will also go through the posting date claims form to see who signed up and didn't post or drop out in time. I will alert participants who are banned from being WIPBB authors/WIPRB artists for the 2026 round via the mod email, and will kee a list of emails to cross-check against the 2026 sign-ups. If you are banned and you submit a sign-up, your sign-up will be deleted and you will be reminded of your ban. Sign up again after the reminder and I will ban you from participating as a WIPBB artist/WIPRB author in the 2026 round as well.

A friendly reminder once again that we do not want fics and art to be tagged when you submit them. I, Mod Ragna, will do all the tagging once I approve your fic. Please respect my modly wishes because it makes it easier fo me to do it and make sure I do the right tags.

I mentioned this on the Discord but I forgot to mention it here. My apologies.

Please DO NOT tag your posts when you submit them to this blog! One of the mods will take care of the tagging for you once your submission is approved, because I have to go into the tag editor to edit or merge tags that are done wrong and it's just a hassle.

Just a friendly reminder to those posting on Tumblr that using the @ function for tagging the WIPBB blog is not enough unless you've added your bragging rights to the post. I will not reblog posts that don't have bragging rights attached! You can add them to a reblog and @ us again, or email the filled out bragging rights to the mod email and I can add them as a reblog to your original post. You can also submit your bragging rights to Tumblr with a link to your fic/art and a link to your Tumblr post!

Also, re: posting late. If you are posting late within 24 hours of your posting date you're fine; life happens and we totally understand. If it's over 24 hours late, though, please request a new posting date. We have plenty of open slots!

Dates for most participants run from September 8th to November 30th. Emergency dates run from December 1st to December 31st and are not listed on this form. Please list your date preferences in order of most wanted to least wanted. If you have been given permission by a mod to claim an emergency date, list the emergency date you want and a second and third emergency date, just in case, then leave a note you have mod permission in the notes.

This round we'll be using a new form so that everyone can sign up despite the dates being here on Dreamwidth. If you are planning on posting in December you still must fill out the form, as there's an agreement all participants must agree to that they will post their project by December 31st or drop before that date, or else they will be banned from participation for a round. I will update on a daily basis. If all three or your date choices are taken a mod will email you with other potential dates. Please check this page to verify you got one of your date choices!

Posting Claims Sign-Up Form Is Up At https://forms.gle/8bK7B4WHRiB1CTb28

( Dates )

As we still have a number of unclaimed WIPs, we'll be leaving our pinch-hitter signups open until August 31st (the Dreamwidth pages have been updated but the summary pages and form links will remain the same). After that, if there are WIPs still left unclaimed, we're afraid we cannot provide art or fics for those WIPs.

We understand that this may be a disappointment for these authors and artists. Unfortunately, the unexpected growth of the event this year in conjunction with the lack of available pinch hitters has made it impossible for us to guarantee art/fic for all the participants who signed up for claims. We hope this event nonetheless continues to help you finish your WIPs.

WE HAVE MADE CHANGES TO THE SCHEDULE AND FAQ - PLEASE READ!
So the other mods and I had talked about tweaking the schedule when I realized Check-In #4 was supposed to go live August 6th, which is less than two weeks after Check-In #3 had ended so that made no sense. We had planned on doing it for the 2026 round but I'm going to institute the changes now.

Basically, we are getting rid of Rough Draft check-ins, and substituting Check-In #4 for that. We are moving Check-In #4 to the end of August, and this check-in is open to everyone. WIPBB writers and WIPRB artists as well as the WIPBB artists and WIPRB authors are allowed to check in during Check-In #4. Basically it's still optional, but this will give us a better idea of if you're ready to post or if you have any questions.

Posting Claims dates are going to stay the same, but this round for WIPRB participants, we are asking that if you are simply submitting your finished art and not getting a fic for it you pick a September or early to mid October posting date; if you are getting fic for your art, we want those later dates to be available so fic writers will have time to write the fic and get it beta read (optional but recommended).

We will have a "Final Check-In" of sorts that will be open during the entire posting period (September 8th to January 1st, which is when I will close the form). Basically, the Final Check-In is a form you will fill out with the link to your bragging rights post on Tumblr or Dreamwidth (or, if you are a WIPBB artist or a WIPRB writer who is not posting your own bragging rights, a link to your Tumblr, Dreamwidth or AO3 post). This is important, as it lets us know you have finished your project for WIPBB/WIPRB.

We also made edits to the FAQ that were going to go into effect in the 2026 round, but I am posting it this round since it's easier to copy/paste everything instead of just tweaking little bits. They are now pinned on the Tumblr and Dreamwidth blogs.

Mod Ragna has an early and long day tomorrow and can't stay up until after midnight PST to post Round 3 of WIPBB/WIPRB art/fic claims, so the form for Round 2 will close at 10 PM PST and Round 3 of claims will go up around 10:30 PM PST today.

This is Round Two of the Fic Writer Claims for the 2025 round of WIPrB. You may claim up to two art projects this round. Please put your top three choices in order of preference in case your first choice is taken. If you want two separate art projects to write fic for, fill out the form twice with two unique check-in IDs.

The form is located at https://forms.gle/q1dCBsdvGukK3B2B9.

Round two of the fic claims will go on until July 31st. An art project is crossed out when it is claimed and can no longer be asked for.

I have to make a few unexpected edits, but the final counts for submissions are 219 fics to WIPBB and 45 art projects to WIPRB! It looks like we're going to have plenty for artists and writers to choose from.

Claiming will go live on July 17th, so keep a lookout to the pinned post for links to the summaries! Also, please remember to check the newly updated schedule for the start and end dates of each stage of the bangs.

So one of the mods brought up a good point about the posting dates, so there's going to be a slight change this round with when emergency posting will be. Official posting will, from now on, go from September 8th to November 30th since we have so many more posters than previous rounds. Emergency posting will go on for the entire month of December, and you will not have to sign up for it, you'll just post when you finish.

Also, with regards to submitting snippets if you don't think you'll finish your fic/art by November 30th: With December now being reserved for emergency posting, you CAN submit snippets for WIPs even if you can only finish by December. However, we strongly encourage you to be upfront with your artist if you're aiming for a December posting and come to a decision on what specific date to (finish) post(ing) by so you don't leave them hanging.

Check-In #2 is now live! Please fill out the form for each project you are doing, with one form response for each project. You have until June 23rd to fill it out!

https://forms.gle/YZk8ixi9aVz6B1wT9

Check-In #1 is now live! New to the form (and the ones after this) is an section for letting us know whether you're participating in the Big Bang or the Reverse Bang. Please fill out the form for each project you are doing, with one form response for each project. You have until June 5th to fill it out!

https://forms.gle/rbt8zKvBi1PNbict6

So it looks like, between the Tumblr and DW post, that extending the sign-ups would be something y'all want. So the sign-ups are now officially extended to **May 28th**! I'll still be posting the first check-in form tomorrow, and instead of staying open for one week it will stay open for two this round.
