Big Bangs, Baby!

[strina]

1) Okay, HP fandom is kicking everybody's ass at this game. As it should, considering.
2) "No current round" means not only is there no fic currently pending, there has never been fic posted to that comm.

(Edited October 29, 2010. Up to 198 bbs, what. What what what.)

Two multifandom challenges I've seen referred to as "big bangs", but they have no multimedia aspect, so I don't count them as such:

nafi_bigbang
Epic Proportions

IDK what to do with this:

t_31_bang/t_31_bang/t_31_bang

And now there are mini-bangs? Fannish drift is weird, you guys.

This is going straight into the memories!

Are you going to follow all of these?

[strina]

Oh no, I have no interest in German music groups, or jrock, or Twilight, or a big bang written in French. But I wanted to list them for completeness's sake. And I can tell you right now that Criminal Minds disappointed me greatly, but that the sncross one was unexpectedly AMAZING; there is a Supernatural/Band of Brothers crossover with soldier!Dean. Am v. excited for that. Heroes just made me sad when I compared this round to its first. capiron was quite good! Um. IDK, I'll probably poke through most of them and eventually do a big bang rec list.

[wishfulclicking]

I'm sure you saw the polybigbang post for summary claiming. Are you taking part in that--mixing or anything?

I'm looking through the summaries now, there are some surprising fandoms for me. I'm interested in seeing how it all shakes out.

[strina]

Nope, not participating, just slavering in anticipation (especially for 15, 21, & 30, OMG).

[wishfulclicking]

I also wanted to add that Criminal Minds is a hard fandom for me to read in. I'm more into gen for that fandom and it's hard for me to find fic that pins down the characters for me. I have read some good casefic for criminal minds though.

I will have to look into that Band of Brothers/SPN crossover. It sounds appealing.

[strina]

There was a lot of Rossi-slash, which kind of creeps me out? IDK, Dave Rossi just gives me such a serial killer vibe, like he is one bad day away from being their worst unsub.

There is a kind of interesting-looking JJ/Prentiss AU where Emily is a CIA agent, but I just bookmarked it for later.

Duude, if you like gen casefic, you should totally try the SPN/CM fic Defect.

[wistfuljane]

Oh, this is awesome! Thank you! I've been vaguely keeping track of big bang communities through a filter and following Fanlore's article on it, but with fandom's prolificness, I haven't been able to keep up with it at all so yay for one big shiny list!

[strina]

You're welcome! But it was mostly selfish. I hated that I kept missing the posting dates, especially since mixes can be so time-sensitive to download.

[darkersummonings]

o_O Wow. You're my fandom go to gal from now on. How do you find this stuff chica? XD

Off topic, last night I went looking for some Buffy/Spike fiction and it was the worst experience of my life. I honestly wanted to dig my eyes out with a spoon. I read this one where Spike was all sweet and lovey dovey and just...I gagged. I like the Big Bad. I like him like he is. They ruined him. I pouted, wrote in my Zelda fic and went to bed.

I hate when Spike is butchered like that...I cry emo tears of disgust. D: ...Perhaps I'll need to write something. << On top of my other projects, of course.

Do you have an LJ honey?

[strina]

I was motivated.

Spuffy often exemplifies everything I hate about vampire romance. He, a vampire with a dark past, an angry facade, and the secret weepy heart of a 12 year old girl! She, young and special and beautiful, with a tortured soul and dark longings! Only with each other can they find peace and happiness and rainbows and babies and also bloodplay! (Oh GOD, the babyfic, have you seen the babyfic?)

Although apparently it can be done well; I've seen some from authors I trust? But I cannot read, the scars run too deep.

Okay, Big Bad fic... And Ice For Your Wounded Heart, Xander/Spike/Dru, a retelling of The Snow Queen, dark. Backfire, Xander/Spike, Xander/Angel, Xander/Angel/Spike, Xander/Cordelia, Angel/Buffy, creepy vampire sex magic, fuck or die, noncon, dubcon; possibly a more lovey Spike than you'd like? But it's also a cheerfully people-eating Spike, so. Sweeter Far Than Flowing Honey and Doubtful Dreams of Dreams, various pairings, super fucked-up, death, torture, rape, revenge, mind control; Season Five Spike gets rid of the chip and it doesn't end well.

(And the only Buffy/Spike fic I've ever managed to stomach - they didn't list the pairings! I was tricked! - Impossibly Delightful Flesh. Long, weirdly convincing genderswap set in Season Five. Willow/Tara, Xander/Anya, Buffy/Riley (briefly), Buffy/Spike.)

And yeah, I'm on LJ under the same name.

[darkersummonings]

I added you to my FL on LJ. That journal is much more fandom related than the one here. Also, I have cookies, chips and lemonade, and I'm settling in for a lovely evening of reading the fics you've rec'd above. I'll tell you how it goes. Thanks. <3

No, I haven't seen the babyfic. God help me if I do. I'm going to shoot myself. And I'm probably going to do a big bang for the Buffyverse. I thought about it before I took a nap today, and decided to try it out. I've always wanted a Buffy fic. Just needed to do a little research on it first.

[livrelibre]

Thanks for this!

[strina]

Welcome!

[gwen]

I hope this is okay, here is a list of the Merlin Bigbangs

paperlegends Posting begins Sept 1st 2010

whizzbangpop Posting begins Aug 1st 2010 smaller word count than paperlegends.

merlinbb_rpf Posting begins Sept 7th 2010


Boxofmagic has been abandoned.

[strina]

Thanks!

[fakeplasticsnow]

Awesome list! Just thought I'd mention deancasbigbang for the SPN section, too. :)

[strina]

Thanks; I'll add it in next edit! Literally every time I look, more have sprung up. It is amazing/daunting.

[bree_black]

And there's also spnfemmeslashbb. Pretty pumped for that one.

One day SPN may even give HP a run for its money. ;)

[bree_black]

AND spnslashbigbang, while we're at it.

[wildefae]

Whoa, this is really cool *__*

[sophie]

This is an amazingly comprehensive list!

I took a look for some other comms, and I don't know whether this counts or not, but I notice you're missing nano_boom, which basically seems to act as a Big Bang comm using stories written for NaNoWriMo. (Edit: Oh, but it was last updated in 2007. Oh well.)

Two other Big Bang comms you don't have:

nukebigbang
pxp_flashbang (mini-bang)

I don't know anything about these myself (I was using the tools I've made for myself to find stuff on LJ), but I did check that these were actually bang comms.

[bookshop]

Hi, hi! Just dropping this off in case it's useful to you or anyone else.

the H/D Big Bang mods used to have a poorly kept up web page of big bang links, but we decided it'd be easier just to make a delicious for it instead, so finally, here it is: bigbangdirectory :)

[hanachan01]

Hi! I just found your list and thought you'd like to know there is now muse_bigbang, for fanworks about the British rock band Muse, so if you would add it to your list that'd be awesome :D Currently, writer signups are closed, and artist signups/choosing a fic will be in February.

I'm amazed that you put this all together. I see someone on here that I will want to try if they open up again...

[coverallthebasses]

Could you please add http://community.livejournal.com/gleeoverbigbang/profile to your list? :) Thanks!

[helenorvana]

There's also the i_reversebang for Inception; posting starts April 10th.

[cerulean_sky]

Please note that the LJ fantasybigbang is now an original fiction only big bang challenge, and we have just opened sign ups for round 2.

Thanks!

[boundbooks]

Out of curiosity, do you have plans to continue to update this list, or will it remain an archive? :)

[strina]

I update sporadically, because searching for new big bangs over three blog sites, plus personal sites, when keywords are inconsistent AND complicated by a v. popular band named Big Bang, is a huge pain.

[boundbooks]

I definitely understand! It's a huge undertaking. :)

I was mostly inquiring as to whether or not I should submit Big Bangs that I know of to the comments, rather than requesting you search for more Big Bangs. :)

[unavoidedcrisis]

Now there's a big bang for robots, too.
