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!

The forms for Posting Date Claims, Pinch Hit Claims and Check-In #4 are now closed! If you have not claimed a date you are not able to participate in the posting portion, as the form was open for a full extra week and needed to be filled out by all participants who planned on posting.

Posting has begun! You can see all the finished projects on Tumblr by following the "completed shit" tag on our Tumblr (linked for your convenience).

The Bragging Rights template is up here!
It includes a link to the AO3 collection, a copy of the Bragging Rights templates for both WIPBB authors/WIPRB artists and WIPBB artists/WIPRB authors, and a link to the form you need to submit a link to your bragging rights or finished projects if you signed up and have a check-in ID (pinch hitters don't have to fill that form out). Please use the bragging right template to submit your finished works to either Tumblr or Dreamwidth!

Pinch hit claims will end at some point on September 8th due to a family emergency on Mod Ragna's part. If you are interested in claiming this fic, get your claims in by 11:59 PM PST on September 7th to be safe. These are links to the Tumblr advertisements for the remaining WIPBB and WIPRB projects. Please feel free to also share them on Tumblr or in other places to boost them. Ship/character info, warnings and summaries are listed for each fic at their link!

I was going to post this on the 1st but I, in my infinite round of rotten luck, injured my foot today so I'm probably going to be sleeping a lot to stay off my foot. So it goes up today!

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.

These are the bragging rights form for WIPBB authors/WIPRB artists:

Project Title:
Fandom:
Link:
Summary:
Warnings:
Characters:
Pairings:
When I Started:**
How I Lost My Shit:**
How I Finished My Shit:**

You can submit your post to the Dreamwidth and Tumblr blogs as early as you like (but DW will only allow you to have one post in the queue at a time, so be aware if you have multiple posts to make!) 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 & WIPRB 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 check in below. In this post, you can share things like:

Project Title:
Fandom:
Link: (or you can post the art here, too!)
Warnings:
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.

And here are easy to copy formats with HTML formating:

WIPBB AUTHORS/WIPRB ARTISTS:

<b>Project Title:</b><br><b>Fandom:</b><br><b>Link:</b><br><b>Summary:</b><br><b>Warnings:</b><br><b>Characters:</b><br><b>Pairings:</b><br><b>When I Started:</b><br><b>How I Lost My Shit:</b><br><b>How I Finished My Shit:</b>

WIPBB ARTISTS/WIPRB AUTHORS:

<b>Project Title:</b><br><b>Fandom:</b><br><b>Link:</b><br><b>Warnings:</b><br><b>Bragging Rights:</b>

(You will have to delete the <*br> tags by hand and add breaks, unfortunately, Dreamwidth does not like the textboxes...)

When you finish posting your final chapter, post your bragging rights to the WIPBB Tumblr and/or the Dreamwidth blog, and then feel free to add your project to the WIP Big Bang 2025 collection on AO3.

We are also requiring a Google forms check in to make it easier for mods to track posts. To fill out the check in form, you will need the email and check in ID you used to sign up, as well as a link to your bragging rights post/finished project. All participants except pinch hitters need to fill it out! You should have received an auto-generated confirmation of your sign up with your check in ID if you need to double check what you used, but if you didn't or lost it, please email us at wipbigbang@gmail.com and we'll find that info for you. Please fill out a different form for each fic/art you post.

The final check in form can be found at https://forms.gle/kNzALWPdi2Mea1am6.

*If for some reason, you can't post this yourself, you can always email this information to the mods, and we'll post it for you. You can also post via proxy, just let us know that you will be doing so.
** These are optional but encouraged

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.

This is the Pinch Hitter Round of the Fic Claims for the 2025 round of WIPRB. You may claim as many art projects as you want as a pinch hitter, but please note that if you put more than one choice down for a pinch hit, you are agreeing to take as many art claims listed that are available that you have listed (so if you only want one claim, put one choice down as First Choice; if you want two to three claims, put your top choices in the appropriate slots and we will assume that's your order of preference; if you want more than three claims, put down your top three in order in one form, then your remaining claims in order of preference in another form. Do not put one claim in a new form if you are claiming multiple art projects! You do not have to pick a username for these.

The form is located at https://forms.gle/p2pBpyoimH1L5d146.

If you are signing up to do pinch hit fic for WIPRB, you and your project partner are encouraged to pick a posting date that works best for both of you when posting date claims open August 23rd, but pinch hitters are allowed to post in December while their artist posts earlier. Pinch Hit Claims will go on until at least August 21st, though we may extend it if there is a significant amount of projects that are remaining unclaimed. 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.

This is how snippet submission will work:

Fic snippet submissions and art snippet submissions will be on different forms, and both forms will be listed here in #announcements on the Discord as well as pinned under the pinned Schedule/FAQ post on Tumblr and pinned to the top of the Dreamwidth page as a separate post under the Schedule/FAQ (since a lot of you are on Tumblr I'm also going to have a post with the links I'll reblog every day the submissions forms are open, just in case people can't see the secondary pinned post).

Fic writers are to submit at least one but at max three snippets between 500 to 1500 words (if it goes over or under a bit that's fine). You may also submit them using Google Docsor Ellipsus (with the GDocs/Ellipsus option you can put all three snippets in one document and put the link in the first section and N/A in the other two sections, or you can do separate doc for each section and post each link in an individual snippets section...just make sure your artist can view them without haing to get your permission first!). The Google form collecting snippets does not italicize/bold/underline your text automatically when it's submitted; you can either use HTML coding to indicate where italicized/bolded/underlined text will be or submit it as a Gdoc link.

For those submitting art project snippets, you only have to supply one snippet to an image hosting service/YouTube/sound hosting service and provide a link to it, but you must provide the snippet when you submit the snippet form. If you want to provide more than one snippet you may, but it's not required.

Both snippet submission forms will be asking for general information about your fic/art project. You'll have two sections for content warnings (one for AO3's general warnings as a checkbox option and a section to write in any other warnings or things you want artists/writers to be aware of), a section for a summary of your project, the title, the rating and I think one other section. Please make sure to include all the fandoms your project is working in by FULL FANDOM NAME (not nicknames/abbreviations, as we use a script to put the claims forms together and I've got anywhere from 245 to 675 potential participants this round).

If you need to make any changes the the description info after you've submitted the form email the mods ASAP so I can edit the specific claims info in the spreadsheets we'll be generating before the claims list gets made via script. If you need to edit snippet stuff, email the mods with the subject line information listed in the first section of this post, as fic snippets will not be included in the claims listings (art/fanvid/filk snippets are included in the claims info so as I said before, you must include a snippet in your WIPRB form).

Any other questions you may have feel free to bring up in #mod-questions/asks/comments below. The form will stay open until midnight/early morning July 11th!

Here are the links to the submission forms:

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!

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!

WIP Big Bang Sign-Up Form | WIP Reverse Bang Sign-Up Form

Art Title & Link: That Goddamn Gene
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Summary: Rodney, Teyla, and Ronon watch, helpless and appalled, as John lights up the temple.
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply. Implied mind-control... possibly?
Characters: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard, Ronon Dex, Teyla Emmagan
Pairings: up to the writer, or Gen.
When I Started: unsure, roughly the start of this year?
How I Lost My Shit: I just got distracted and busy with other challenges, and RL things.
How I Finished My Shit: I heard that the WIP Big Bang was having a Reversebang section, so I decided to use that as a spur to complete this as a primary work in the Reversebang. Also for the Stargate Anniversary festival.
Notes: Made with Procreate and watercolours. I've deliberately left the story behind this scene, and the outcome, open-ended, as inspiration for writers. And if it's a bit unsettling, well, it is almost the 31st.
