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.

Don't remember if I ever shared this with the general public, or just the army of mischevious enablers.

Mixed media on paper

Fan art / Headcanons/ Hyperfixations

As someone with autism, and anxiety, I've spent such a long time being someone who reads fanfiction and looks at fan art.

But I worry that the instance I talk about my hyperfixations ( my main one currently being the 2004 remake of Battle Star Galactica and my otp from the show) , then I'll come off as annoying lmao😂

No, but seriously. I became a HUGE FAN in 2022 and it helped me cope with my real life. I was going through a lot of tough times, and I now have an entire sketchbook of ship art I made and I would love to share it with you all ( if you don't mind)👉🏼👈🏼

I'm currently obsessed with shipping Felix Gaeta and Gaius Baltar ( I know it's not everyone's cup of tea) , but if you're interested, I'd be happy to share some😸

I'm pretty new to posting stuff like this, so please be kind🫂 I hope you have a good day😸

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.

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

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
