So, for anyone wondering, I have a working laptop again! Mine was fried dead electrically but the hard drive was salvageable and my computer repairman put it in my mother's laptop (her hard drive was dying). So for everyone who was expecting art from me I have all my notes, my Photoshop program and I'll start on the rest of the art this week.

Speaking of art, I know I didn't get art for my fic even though I had submitted information to Mod Bere. I wanted to know if anyone else had asked for art and not gotten it, and if so, I'll volunteer to make art for you. Just send an email to the mod email (wipbigbang@gmail.com) and we'll figure stuff out from there.

Finally, Mod Kay, who did an amazing job running our Twitter account, has a poll up to figure out how most of the participants have gotten their information so we can decide what platforms to continue on in the January round. It's located here and we would be most appreciative if you answered the poll, even if you don't follow the Twitter account.

Well, it's been tough at times, but the 2021 round of WIPBB is now at an end. We had a lot of great fics submitted and a lot of great art, and there seems to be a lot of people already preparing for the next long round.

I know there were some bumps in the road with miscommunication this round. For the next long round, the FAQ are going to be rewritten to incorporate questions and changes brought up in this round. We may start artist Sign-Ups earlier so artists have to do at least one check-in with where they are on the art they signed up for. And I'm definitely going to try and get all the mods to post updates on the Discord as well as LJ and Dreamwidth and Tumblr, so that events like Word Wars and Whine Bars are better utilized.

If there are any other suggestions, please feel free to let us know! This was a rocky round, but I hope that further rounds will be easier.

On a personal note, thank you to everyone who helped me with the various catastrophes I was dealing with this round. I still owe art and it will be done either when I get a new laptop or I can afford to fix my mother's, which she'll let me borrow. If anyone wants to help still, I spend $40 a week on gas picking my son up and dropping him off for weekends (he's miserable in his current living situation), so prepaid Visa cards would be a godsend. I also have more cleaning items, wet cat food and a few higher priced things on the list, including a new laptop (which is more on there for me to buy when I have money, but if someone could get it I'd be most grateful). The list is here or my PayPal is here if anyone wants to help that way.

 WIP Big Bang 2019 is over!



Congratulations to everyone!! We had a lot of great fic and great art posted and it's time to celebrate! I'm so so proud of all of you and I hope you're all proud of yourselves as well.

I had a great time modding and I hope you all had a good time too. There will be a survey up soonish so you can tell me how you thought it went and if you think any changes need to be made for the next round. As per the poll a while back, I will be starting a banned list, but that won't take effect until next year.

For now, it's time to cheer and squee and post the most excited/congratulatory gifs you can find! Have some wine and cheese and flail, shout, and have fun! You deserve a break after all your hard work :)



I hope to see you all again next year!
