Masterpost @ DW

Switch: A quartet of Avatar: the Last Airbender AU fics, each exploring what could have happened if a character had been born in a nation other than their canon one. Each story is its own separate AU and stands completely on its own. I am posting the two stories written for au_bigbang.

Characters/Pairing(s): Katara, Sokka, Hakoda, Kya, Kanna; gen

Now that she is fourteen, she is sure that the coming school test is the last hurdle before she can finally serve her country and her Fire Lord. After all, hers is the greatest nation in the world… isn’t it?

Fic: Trapped in the Village

Mon, 13 Aug 2012 04:55:34 GMT

Posted by: merryghoul

Title: Trapped in the Village
Author: merryghoul
Fandom: Torchwood
Pairing(s): gen (Toshiko Sato, Suzie Costello, Jack Harkness, Milton, OCs)
Rating: R
Warning: graphic violence
Word Count: 15273
Summary: Was the memory of Tosh being imprisoned in "Fragments" a truth, or was it a fabrication? In 2009, after Torchwood Three's headquarters was blown up, a draft of a report written by Tosh stated she was kidnapped by a "Milton" and imprisoned in a Welsh village for over a year. The story of how she escaped this village and eventually joined Torchwood is as astonishing as Tosh's short life and career with Torchwood.
Author's Note: Although this story is AU, certain canonical facts of Toshiko's life before Torchwood differ between Torchwood episodes. (Show bible? What show bible?) For this story, the time Tosh is imprisoned and when she joined Torchwood is based on "Fragments" as opposed to the year given in Mary's account on Tosh's life in "Greeks Bearing Gifts" as well as the date the TARDIS Index File gives on Tosh's imprisonment (2004).

Also thanks to my beta pollyglump.

Summary: As an incarnate Archangel, Azriel, the Archangel of Death, is not at all used to living a human life. The body xe's been born into is weak and struggles with the presence of the Archangel's soul. Wracked with madness, Azriel does xyr best to survive in a world xe barely understands, chasing Domspace in bondage clubs as a way of coping. Watched over by Lucifer and Rafa'el, they try to guide Azriel to where xe's meant to be, hoping the Archangel will have the courage to do what's being asked of xem.

ADMIN: Reminders

Sun, 05 Aug 2012 19:57:55 GMT

Posted by: sailwithoutwind

A few reminders:

++In case you missed it, posting date claims are open. Even if you don't have an artist (whether your summary is unclaimed or you're doing your own or something else entirely), please choose a date, following the instructions at the top of the post.

++Regarding artists, we still have eight unclaimed summaries. If you or someone you know is still interested in or willing to do art for these lovely authors, please sign up at the artists' post and let us know which story you'd like to illustrate.

Please, signalboost this as much as you can--it's short notice but still possible!

++And the obvious administrative reminder: if we have not heard from you (check-ins, draft submission, anything) at all, please do not choose a posting date/send in a final draft without talking to us first. As per usual, we will of course make exceptions for extenuating circumstances, but if we hear nothing and simply receive a draft, we will be turning you away.

That said, our first fic is scheduled to go up in five days! Good luck, and congratulations on making it to the final stretch!

Final Drafts Due

Sun, 05 Aug 2012 19:56:26 GMT

Posted by: sailwithoutwind

A reminder that final drafts of stories and artwork are due today!!

Please, DON'T PANIC! The 7-10 day deadline still applies for anyone posting after 12 August!

On my part, apologies for not getting this up yesterday as planned. In light of that, we'll extend this an additional twelve hours for anyone who may not see this: if you are posting prior to 12 August, you have until midnight (Eastern Standard) tomorrow to send us your final drafts.

Please email your drafts to us as attachments--headers are optional as long as the basic story information hasn't changed since you sent us your rough drafts.

Posting Date Selection

Wed, 25 Jul 2012 21:05:07 GMT

Posted by: sailwithoutwind

Posting date selection begins for Round 3 of AU Big Bang. As we did last year, we ask that authors and artists work together to choose their posting dates. Posting will be spread out across five weeks, beginning 8 August and running through 8 September. A maximum of three artist/author pairs may select the same date.

As a reminder, final drafts of both stories and art are due 5 August (or 7-10 days prior to your posting date, whichever comes sooner), though you are of course welcome to continue making adjustments until your actual posting date.

To claim a date, please respond to this post with your desired date in your comment title. List your author and artists’ usernames and email addresses in the body of the comment; if you’ve opted out of art (or would like to), all you need is the author information and a reminder that you’re forgoing/providing your own art.

Dreamwidth users, we apologise for any hassle, but to avoid confusion, we ask that you please claim your posting dates at the Livejournal post.

Regarding Posting: Your options are Livejournal, Dreamwidth, and the Archive of Our Own AUBB collection. Please let us know which venues you would prefer to use (you are welcome to use one or all three) and if you need invitations to any of the above services.

Art & Story Claims

Thu, 12 Jul 2012 06:00:49 GMT

Posted by: sailwithoutwind

Claim information has been sent out to authors and artists; as of 2240h PST, we're up-to-date with the current list. If you claimed a summary or your summary was claimed and you haven't heard from us, please let us know.

For sake of simplicity, we ask that authors please send copies of their story to their artists after working out which format works best between them.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at aubigbang@gmail.com.

Thank you for all your hard work!

Artists: Multiple Claims

Sun, 08 Jul 2012 22:23:31 GMT

Posted by: sailwithoutwind

The artist claims post is now open to multiple claims by artists: we are allowing artists to claim up to three stories, though we do ask that you keep your own time constraints and capabilities in mind. If you think you have time only for two stories, please only claim two.

If you think you have time for more than three, we ask that you send us a completed (or at least mostly completed) copy of your art for one story before claiming another.

Please note that until every summary has been claimed, we will not allow multiple artists to claim the same summaries (i.e. if summaries 1, 4, and 23 are still unclaimed, a second artist will not be approved for story 45). Once every summary has been claimed once, we will begin clearing secondary artists.

Contact information for paired authors and artists will be emailed out on 11 July. Claims will remain open until all stories have been claimed.

Thank you, and as per usual, if there are any questions, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

Art Claims!

Thu, 05 Jul 2012 14:26:07 GMT

Posted by: sailwithoutwind

Art claims!!

To avoid confusion, DW artists, please request your summary at the linked post on Livejournal.

We have 49 amazing story summaries under the cut! When claiming a story, please reply with a comment including: the story number, your email address, and the art format (e.g. art, mix, vid). Summaries will be ~~struck through~~ as they are claimed, but please check the comments to ensure the summary you’re interested hasn’t already been taken. For now, please limit yourselves to one story; additional claims will open 8 July.

As a reminder, “artist” is being used as a very broad term for anyone creating fanart (e.g. icons, drawing, banner, header, wallpaper, etc.), a fanmix, or a fanvid for a story written over the course of this challenge. Authors and artists will be working together to select a date at the end of the challenge to post their art and story to the community. More information is available in the FAQ; feel free to let us know if you have any questions. Final drafts of art (though you may of course continue to make any necessary edits or modifications prior to posting) are due 5 August.

If you’re just joining us and would like to claim a summary, feel free! We just ask that you swing by our artist sign-up post as well.

Rough Draft & Fic Summaries, Part II

Mon, 02 Jul 2012 07:07:45 GMT

Posted by: sailwithoutwind

All right, ladies and gents:

Your rough drafts and fic summaries were due today--or rather, yesterday, since my clock now reads 2 June. To those of you who sent them in, thank you for your punctuality; to those of you who tried to plan ahead and sent them in early, thank you, as well. To those of you who enquired about extensions in advance, thanks go to you for preparing, too.

If, for whatever reason, you did not send us your information today, you have until 9pm (Pacific Standard Time)/midnight (Eastern Standard Time) to get it to us. You do not need to explain, but be aware that anything that comes in at 9:01pm PST will get a response of, "I'm sorry, but you have passed the deadline." These dates have been up for months, and we posted a reminder a week in advance, so there is going to be very little flexibility, and please be aware that failing to turn in a rough draft is one of the things that lands you on the ban list. All our usual caveats on extenuating circumstances apply.

Artists, please note that a preview post of summaries will be available by the 3rd! You will not be able to place a claim until the 5th, but you'll be able to browse what will be up for grabs. Please let us know if you have any questions!

Rough Draft & Fic Summaries: July 1

Tue, 26 Jun 2012 01:57:46 GMT

Posted by: sailwithoutwind

As a reminder, rough drafts and story summaries are due via email Sunday, 1 July! Technically, the cutoff will be midnight (Eastern Standard), but really that means whenever one of us next gets on the computer.

If you had only one entry this round, and that entry was a mini-bang, we should already have your draft; you need only fill out the form below in your email.

If you had a full-length entry, or more than one entry, please include your draft as an attachment¹ and fill out the form below in your email.

For your summary, please include in your email (to aubigbang@gmail.com):
++Author(s)
++Email address
++Title (let us know if it’s just tentative)
++Fandom
++Short description (250 words or fewer)
++Pairings
++Warnings, if applicable

For those of you with other commitments on the first, early submissions are welcome. If you need to make other arrangements for any reason, please talk to us before the deadline.

Confirmation emails should be sent out by midnight (Eastern Standard) on 2 July; if you haven't heard from us by then, please double-check that your email didn't get swallowed whole by the internet.

As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

¹Attachment formats accepted: .doc/docx, .odt (Open Office), .txt, and .rtf. If none of these work for you, we'll accept drafts via Google Docs/Google Drive, as well. At last resort, we will accept drafts pasted into the body of your email (assuming it fits!).

ADMIN: Post-Check-In Reminders

Mon, 11 Jun 2012 23:18:35 GMT

Posted by: sailwithoutwind

Hi guys, an update for you.

Check-in information has been processed, all drafts have been noted, and all questions have been addressed (but if we missed you, please let us know). The poll closed nearly a full day after it was scheduled to, and because of the extra time we're no longer accepting check-ins or drafts via email. If you had a genuine emergency/RL situation crop up during the check-in period, please email us.

Please remember that missing the withdrawal date disqualifies you from participation in all future rounds of this challenge; for single mini-bang writers, failing to turn in a rough draft earns you the same. All of this was outlined earlier in this post.

The next closest dates of importance are:

1 July: rough drafts and fic summaries for all other authors are due; for mini-bang writers who have already turned in their drafts, you will be turning in your fic summaries alone
5 July: artist claims begin

As always, please let us know if you have any questions.

ADMIN: Delay

Fri, 08 Jun 2012 12:14:32 GMT

Posted by: sailwithoutwind

Guys, thank you for your patience with questions on check-in and rough drafts.

Second check-in is officially closed; barring unforeseen personal emergencies on the parts of authors, we won't be accepting any additional numbers.

I'm in the midst of some personal chaos and therefore a little behind on going through the check-in poll and any non-urgent questions coming into the mod email, and since I'm the only one with access to the information unless we make it public, this is extremely inconvenient timing.

I apologise--this was one of those unforeseen circumstances--and will be getting to the polls by the end of this weekend. Most of you who have commented asking about your rough drafts are, I think, in the clear, but since this is on me you won't in any way be penalised if the internet ate your email and we need you to resend a copy.

Again, my thanks for your patience, and if you need anything immediately please send it to the mod email or to st_trinians_girl.

REMINDER: Mini-Bang Rough Drafts

Sun, 03 Jun 2012 01:40:14 GMT

Posted by: sailwithoutwind

It's been brought to our attention that we neglected to let you know how to turn in your rough drafts; our apologies! But no worries--as long as you get it to us before the check-in poll closes on Tuesday, you'll be in the clear.

If you're an author with only one entry in this round, and that entry happens to be a mini-bang, your rough draft is due to us via email by midnight (Eastern Standard Time) 5 June 2012. Please include your username in your email.

If you’ve already sent in your rough draft, thank you; if you haven’t received confirmation by tomorrow, please let us know.

Check-In #2

Fri, 01 Jun 2012 23:35:01 GMT

Posted by: sailwithoutwind

Welcome to the second author check-in for au_bigbang!

This is mostly to make sure that you're still with us and writing. No worries if you don't have 10K, and no worries if you've already blown that number away. Everyone has their own method and pace of writing. If you did not check in at the first poll in May, however, please do not submit your vote here.

The poll will close on Tuesday, 5 June at midnight (Eastern Standard Time)

View Poll: Check-In #2

Comments to this post are screened. Feel free to add any additional information you think we might need--this includes, but is not limited to:

The fact that you've finished! Please lend the rest of us some of your productivity!
The fact that you feel a little behind (ballpark this at under 3,000 words)--if you've got other projects/write late in the game/etc. The encouragement will keep coming!
Anything else you think is relevant to your fic at this stage.

Again, a reminder that this is your deadline to:

withdraw from the challenge
change your fandom

Reminder: Check-In #2 Is June 1!

Wed, 30 May 2012 03:09:33 GMT

Posted by: sailwithoutwind

Just a reminder that a month really has gone by and the second check-in is upon us, along with a slew of deadlines.

Just like the first check-in, check-in #2 will be in poll format. It'll go live Friday, 1 June*--we're not entirely sure when, but you can safely assume it'll be afternoon-evening, Eastern Standard Time. The poll will remain open for four days and close Tuesday, 5 June at midnight EST. At that point, you'll have to email us if something's come up and kept you from voting.

Recommended minimum word count is, as usual, 10K, but that is not a hard requirement. If you don't have 10K, we're not disqualifying you, we just want to make sure people are still here and working. That said, if you're still at 0, dropping us a line at the check-in post to let us know you've got it all worked out will prevent us from checking in with you later.

Now, your favourite part: deadlines!

1 JUNE IS THE DEADLINE FOR THE FOLLOWING:

withdrawing from the challenge
changing your fandom--after this, you're stuck with your idea!
single mini-bang rough drafts**

As always, questions and clarifications are welcome here, at any admin post, or via email at aubigbang@gmail.com.

*Check-in will again be available on Livejournal and Dreamwidth; please select whichever service you chose for check-in #1; please do not check-in at both locations.

**You are only turning in drafts if you have one entry in the AUBB this year, and that one entry is a mini-bang. If you are writing one mini-bang and something else, don't panic, because you can ignore this.

Reminder: Check-In & Upcoming Dates

Mon, 14 May 2012 04:18:57 GMT

Posted by: sailwithoutwind

Just a reminder that the first check-in is closed!!!

It took us a while to get all the data collated and all the comments answered--that was all me, not my co-mod, and my apologies for that; I had some real-life things that had to take precedence--but that also means there has been ample time for last-minute check-ins. Therefore, the following two things are of note:

If we do not have your vote in the poll, have not received an email, and did not have prearranged plans for a delay, we are assuming you're no longer interested in participating and marking you down as withdrawn.
Please note that missing the check-in disqualifies you from further participation as an author, though you are welcome to continue in any other capacity for which you've signed up (e.g. artist, beta, etc.).

For those of you who have not checked in due to justifiable reasons--which is to say some variation of "personal emergency"; "I forgot" won't quite sail at this point--please send us an email ASAP.

With the haranguing done, it needs to be said that our sincere thanks goes to everyone who got their check-in information to us. If you put your vote in the poll, you are good to go; if your co-writer put your vote in the poll, you are good to go. If you're unsure or confused or simply can't remember if you got it in or not, feel free to drop us a line and double check.

Now, put 1 June, 2012 on your calendars! This is the:

second check-in (10K suggested word count)
withdrawal deadline
fandom change deadline
if you are only writing one mini-bang, the rough draft due date

Check-In #1

Tue, 01 May 2012 08:31:41 GMT

Posted by: sailwithoutwind

Welcome to the first author check-in for au_bigbang! There are a couple new questions this round, so please read carefully.

This is mostly to make sure that you're still with us and writing. No worries if you don't have 5K, and no worries if you've already blown that number away. Everyone has their own method and pace of writing.

The poll will close on Saturday, 5 May at midnight (Eastern Standard Time)

View Poll: Check-In #1

Comments to this post are screened. Feel free to add any additional information you think we might need--this includes, but is not limited to:

The fact that you've finished! Please lend the rest of us some of your productivity!
The fact that you feel a little behind (ballpark this at under 1,000 words)--if you've got other projects/write late in the game/etc. The encouragement will keep coming!
Anything else you think is relevant to your fic at this stage.

Again, a reminder:

MINI-BANG WRITERS: If you're writing only one mini-bang, this is your withdrawal deadline!

BIG BANG WRITERS: If you're writing a regular big bang and have been contemplating dropping to a mini, this is your deadline!

Reminder: Check-In #1 Is May 1!

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 01:31:02 GMT

Posted by: sailwithoutwind

Yes, the dreaded writer's check-in is upon us!

As it has been in past rounds, check-in #1 will be in poll format. It'll go live Tuesday, 1 May*--we're not entirely sure when, but you can safely assume it'll be afternoon-evening, Eastern Standard Time. The poll will remain open for four days and close Saturday, 5 May at midnight EST. At that point, you'll have to email us if something's come up and kept you from voting.

Recommended minimum word count is, as usual, 5K, but that is not a hard requirement. If you don't have 5K, we're not disqualifying you, we just want to make sure people are still here and working.

MINI-BANG WRITERS: If you're writing only one mini-bang, Tuesday, 1 May is also your withdrawal deadline! If you don't withdraw Tuesday, we're assuming you intend to finish and will hold you to that commitment.

BIG BANG WRITERS: If you're writing a regular big bang and have been contemplating dropping to a mini, Tuesday, 1 May is your declaration deadline! After that, you're writing the full 15K!

As always, questions are welcome here, at any admin post, or via email at aubigbang@gmail.com.

*Please note, check-in will be available on Livejournal and Dreamwidth; whichever service you choose, you'll need to use the same one for check-in #2; please do not check-in at both locations.

Advertising!

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 17:19:30 GMT

Posted by: sailwithoutwind

With the close of author sign ups, round three has garnered story ideas from over 150 authors in over 100 different fandoms! We're thrilled to see so many of you--thank you for joining us this year!

Of course, the catch is that while your mods enjoy a multitude of fandoms between them, there are still only two of us. We'd like to make sure we can get artists and betas for everyone who's signed up, and since you know your fandoms and their relevant communities, you have a much better idea of who's active and what places will have good traffic. Particularly if you're working in a smaller fandom (but even if you're not!), we'd very much appreciate it if you could do one of two things:

comment to this post with suggestions for communities we should advertise in (e.g. general communities for your fandom, icon or fic communities, newsletters, etc.), OR
spread the word yourself!

We have banners available here if you'd like a bit of extra splash, but any nudge you're willing to give will help.

As always, questions can be directed to us at aubigbang@gmail.com or via the FAQ.
