this is beautiful. most of my fandoms have been off the air 10+ years (minus reboots). they live on in fanfic, art, edits, fanvids, conversations, and in the imagination. they never truly die as long as someone is out there thinking about them.

Deep breath.

I am a solidly middle-aged fangirl, and my last real fan community before OFMD was the X-Files. (I feel like I am not the only one here who fits that description).

The news that we aren’t getting a new season of Our Flag Means Death is hitting me harder than I expected.

So I am thinking about Scully.

There’s this X-Files episode called “Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose.” The plot is about a guy who can see into the future and tell people how they die.

Scully asks him, "How do I die?"

And Clyde Bruckman replies, simply, "You don't."

I've seen fans speculate that Scully winds up becoming immortal by the end of the series. But, 22 years after the end of the show's original run, that line has taken on a new meaning for me.

Scully doesn't die, she can't die, because I still think about her. Scully is immortal because there are fans still writing her into stories, still making art, still getting inspired by her and pursuing medicine and science.

You cannot truly kill a story. You can cancel a TV show. You can, if you're an asshole, make fun of fan creators and their ideas. If you're really an asshole (and a media conglomerate), you can send them cease and desist letters and tell them to stop making art that breathes new life into that story. But the story will not die.

I draw a lot of hope from the long, long history of fandom. The people who loved stories enough to keep them alive, even when it wasn't clear that there would ever be another "official" work in their lifetimes. The Sherlock Holmes fans. The Star Trek fans.

How does a story die?

It doesn’t.

Admiral Cain from Battlestar Galactica! I absolutely hated her at first, and I still kinda do lol, but now I also think she's pretty neat.

2024 Event Announcement!

We had a lot of fun last year, so we are holding another Big Bang and Mini Bang event for 2024!

The event is a chance for writers and artists to get together and produce fanworks set in the BSG universe, with two tiers–hence Big Bang and Mini Bang.

The minimum wordcount for Big Bang is 10k, and the minimum for Mini Bang is 2.5k.

For art, we accept a wide variety of media! Digital or traditional fanart; fanvids; filks; podfic; fanmixes; crafts (fiberarts, ceramics, etc.)--if you have any questions about a particular medium, just ask! Specific requirements for artists are still being finalized, but are included in the Rules post as a general idea/guideline.

Questions? Feel free to send us an ask via tumblr, or you can reach out to the event email, battlestargalacticabigbang@gmail.com

Feel free to browse through the event tumblr, or the AO3 collection with last year's works!

We also have a Discord, if you’d like to come and say hi and hang out.

There have been some changes from last year, in response to participant feedback. We're still finalizing some details in terms of check-in deadlines/requirements, etc., but the broad schedule/major deadlines are below:

May 1, 2024 - Signups Open

July 12, 2024 - Author signups close; story details due.

July 15, 2024 - Story details sent out for claims; artist and beta signups close

October 12, 2024 - Posting day! Big Bang entries of less than 20k words must be posted in full, as must all Mini Bang entries; Big Bang entries of more than 20k must post at least the first 10k. Big Bang entries should be fully posted by October 31, 2024.

Keep an eye on this space, as we'll post additional updates as we get closer to signups!

We’re excited to be having this event, and hopefully you are, too! Very much looking forward to what you all come up with.

So Say We All

To help you procrastinate some fandom asks, 4, 11 (Spaceparents, specifically) & 21 😊

Hey thanks for asking! :)

4: Is there a popular pairing you don't necessarily dislike but aren't too invested in? So for my main fandoms, there aren't any I'm not super invested in. BSG I don't really read Kara/Lee, but I actually like that ship a lot, just never read it.

If we are just talking about fandom in general, for some reason, even though I was a fan and watched the show, I never cared too much for SuperCorp. It was cute, but just wasn't invested. Which I always found strange, cause its normally such a ME type of ship, just not sure why I don't care. lol

11: What's your favourite piece of fanart for [ship]? So I am bad at fanart but someone recently reminded me of onessiss's spaceparents fanart, and I downloaded one of them for my ipad background. They are great. <3

21: Go onto your AO3. Which ship have you written for the most? The least? Does this correspond to who you consider your "favourite?" So I have 11 fics written for spaceparents <3 about 60k words published so far. Its definitely one of my favorite ships of all time.

The ship I have the least written for is probably Rizzles from Rizzoli and Isles? I have 1 single fic I wrote like... a decade ago now lol.
