Re: 2023 ROUND

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to say thank you for your patience as we wound down from the last round. We so enjoyed being able to do that for you. With that being said, we're going to have to skip this next round. I hope we'll be back up and running for next time, but RL is just not giving us another option right now. We will miss you and will definitely keep you updated on anything else. In the meantime, keep writing and sharing your awesome words.

But first, the wedding! It's time to walk down the aisle except ... things don't go as planned. Does it ever? A blast from the past interrupts the joyous occasion ... and sends Max and Alec on one final adventure. Will they be able to overcome unforeseen obstacles and find their happiness? Title/Author Vellichor by Naaer Fandom/Rating: Doctor Who/Teen and Up Audiences Pairing: Tenth Doctor/Rose Tyler Warnings: Author chooses not to use Archive Warnings Summary: (Click on arrow) As John gaped at Rose, colour spreading rapidly on his high cheekbones, she let out a small groan. What the hell had she gotten herself into? ~ A Modern Fake Relationship AU, in which Rose tells a rather large fib involving her sort-of-best-mate and has to work out how to handle the grand charade - especially as old memories come back to haunt her... Title/Fanworker vellichor by cersxisbitch Rating/Warnings: General/No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: (Click on arrow) Fanwork for "vellichor"" by naaer. Title/Author Growing Strong by apckrfan Fandom/Rating: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling/Mature Pairing: Hermione Granger/Severus Snape Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Summary: (Click on arrow) Home post-war by himself other than Ministry-sponsored healers to aid in his healing, Severus finds himself at his wit’s end with the state of his life. He never intended to survive the war and has no desire to continue with his life. He plans to combine an overdose of an enhanced sleeping draught with a dose of Felix Felicis, wanting to see his true love one last time and determine once and for all if she’s forgiven him before dying. He doesn’t exactly get what he was expecting (which shouldn’t surprise him after all). See fic header in body of text for full summary. WARNINGS: Depressed, suicidal intentioned Severus Snape but it will be HEA and is not steeped in darkness Title/Fanworker Growing Strong - Fanwork by Esmalt Rating/Warnings: General/Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Summary: (Click on arrow) He caught her in a rare inactive, and unaware moment, as she was seated in his study at the desk. Chaptered Posting Here are this week’s works that are being posted by the chapter! Title/Author watercolours in the rain by Killaurey Fandom/Rating: Naruto/Mature Pairings: Nara Shikamaru/Yamanaka Ino; Haruno Sakura/Yamanaka Ino Chapters: 10/18 Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death Summary: (Click on arrow) "Don't hang up. It's about Ino." Nothing less than the purest of loves could reel him back to the hell that had raised him. Sakura plays her cards well, when she wants to. That it all goes desperately wrong from there is... about what he'd expected. Shikamaru doesn't want to save the world. Maybe, just maybe though, he can save the girl. (Don't dare me to write a love story.) -- (This series is in chronological order. You do not need to have read womb under water to follow this story.) Title/Author Cochenille by AlexSeanchai Cochenille [accessible version] by AlexSeanchai Fandom/Rating: Miraculous Ladybug/Mature Pairing: Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir/Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug; Alya Césaire/Nino Lahiffe Chapters: 6/20 Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: (Click on arrow) Marie Sancoeur knows very little about herself. She's Mère's only child, and like a daughter to Monsieur, more trusted than his own son if not more loved; Madame is—absent—but will surely admire Marie's skills both artistic and alchemical, just as her son does, once Madame is safe again; she would prefer not to be the enemy of Ladybug and Chat Noir, but both so-called heroes are the enemies of Monsieur and Madame and Mère, and so they have made an enemy of Marie. (If she thinks Ladybug and Chat Noir could simply sit back and watch Monsieur destroy himself and his legacy in a trap of his own making—truly if Monsieur ever even wants grandchildren, he should consider letting Adrien kiss Marie, leave the mansion and talk to people, or both—well, she thinks all that very quietly, and finds music Adrien enjoys to play rather louder.) Nino is not taking sides on whether Monarque lied about killing Ladybug or whether Chat Noir has abandoned Paris. He's especially not siding against Alya. She would understand if he could explain. Marinette Dupain-Cheng has no idea who any of those people are, and she has no idea what she did to be saved and protected by a cat-eared angel. Title/Author Shifting Equilibriums by Lullabymoon Fandom/Rating: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (TV)/Mature Pairing: Number One | Una Chin-Riley/Christopher Pike Chapters: 4/10 Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: (Click on arrow) An away mission gone wrong shifts the balance of Chris and Una's relationship… AKA the one where being shot at and hiding in cold caves finally forces them to confront their feelings for each other. (Story is complete and chapters will be posted daily) Title/Fanworker [fanart] Shifting Equilibriums by oldestcharm Rating/Warnings: General/No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: (Click on arrow) Inspired by Shifting Equilibriums by Lullabymoon.

Amnesty Period Open!

Hello everyone! The official posting period is now over and the Amnesty Period has begun! If you have missed your scheduled posting date, or already requested to post during Amnesty, now is the time to post! You are allowed to post on any day, from now until December 3rd. We will be extending the Amnesty Period through December 3rd, to give a full 2 weeks of Amnesty! If, for any reason, you cannot post, or cannot finish posting, during the Amnesty Period, please reach out to us ASAP, so we can discuss next steps. If you are an author (both 5k Little Bang and 10k Big Bang) that was paired through the claiming process, we're past the no consequences point and dropping out could result in a ban. However, if something major in your life happens (sickness, injury, accident, etc.) please just let us know and there will be no consequences for dropping out. Anyone that doesn't contact us will be banned, as we won't know about a situation unless we're told. If you are a Solo Author, there are no consequences for dropping out. If you are an author that has chosen to do chaptered posting, and you do not have your entire work posted by December 3rd, there can be consequences for not finishing, if you were paired with a fanworker. The idea of a Bang is to have a completed work posted! If you are a Solo Author that chose to do chaptered posting and you do not have your entire work posted by December 3rd, we will remove your work from the HetBang Ao3 Collection, but there will be no other consequences for not finishing. Weekly Round Up 5 will be posted later tonight, or tomorrow. Weekly Round Ups may be posted on Mondays, rather than Sundays, due to some availability changes from the mods. If you have any questions or concerns, here is the Page-A Mod Post. You can also contact the mods via email, thehetbigbang@gmail.com, or by messaging LuciferxDamien or Jesterlady on the HetBang Discord server. from Het Big Bang https://ift.tt/1TOrRYV via IFTTT

Posting Open & Final Check-In Closed!

Hello everyone! The 5th and final check-in is now closed and posting has begun! We’re looking forward to seeing what everyone has been up to! Date Claims are also officially closed, however, if you need to change your date, for any reason, please send an email to us at thehetbigbang@gmail.com, with the new date you’d like to post on. Just make sure to check the 2022 Posting Schedule, to find an open date! Posting will run from October 16th through November 19th. November 20th-30th will be the Amnesty Period, which is for any author or fanworker to post their work, if they missed their posting date! Here are the 2022 Posting Guidelines. Do not post your work to the DreamWidth or LiveJournal comms! Posts are moderated on the comms and your post will be rejected. This is because mods are only checking the HetBang Ao3 Collection for works. We want there to be one centralized place to find works for everyone to enjoy! Weekly Round Up will begin Sunday, October 23rd, and will take place each Sunday, with a list of works that have been posted for that week! Note About Support Comms: Mods will no longer be posting the weekly support posts in

het_banghelp, to focus on posting, but members are still welcomed to make their own posts, if they need some extra help and support! Mod LuciferxDamien will be out of town, October 19th-21st, so we will be down to one mod for a few days. If your work takes a day or two to be approved, don’t panic! It may not be because something is wrong, it’s likely because a mod is not available at that time. If there is something wrong with your work, you will be emailed ASAP, so you can correct it! If you have any questions or concerns, here is the Page-A Mod Post. You can also contact the mods via email, thehetbigbang@gmail.com, or by messaging LuciferxDamien or Jesterlady on the HetBang Discord server. from Het Big Bang https://ift.tt/mjZFX72 via IFTTT

Fanworkers, An Archive of Our Own account is required for fanworkers that plan to post their fanwork separately from their author’s story. Fanworkers are not required to post their work separately, if they do not want to, meaning they can have their work embedded in the author’s story and that will fulfill their posting requirement. If you do not already have an Ao3 account, please get in queue ASAP: Archive of Our Own Invite Requests If your fanwork would be difficult to post to Ao3, such as a vid, playlist, or gifset, please contact us ASAP, we can help you post or discuss alternatives.

Fanworkers, if you claimed more than one story, please follow the instructions in the form to indicate your progress per author, so that we can mark your progress to the correct author! Check-In #5 Survey Survey open through October 15th. Date Claiming Instructions:

Dates are claimed first come, first served. Each day can have up to 3 stories (and accompanying fanworks) posted.

Date claiming can be done on this post on DreamWidth or through email, thehetbigbang@gmail.com, as long as the required information is included! (See below for required information) Mods will check the timestamps on comments and emails to keep things fair, as this is first come, first served. (LiveJournal post will not be unlocked, please visit the DreamWidth post or email us in order to claim a date!)

Traditional/Tandem groups, discuss which days will work best for your group. Only one member from your author/fanworker group needs to select a date. Please don't have all members comment with the same story/dates, it’ll be very confusing for mods! Discuss with your group (unless you are working Solo) and decide on dates together and who will be claiming your posting dates.

When you comment, please list three dates that you, and/or your group, would be able to post and include the following information. If any of the following information is not included, you will be asked to repost your comment with the missing info added in, and your dates will not be held for you! Example: Dates: October 31, November 2, November 8 (List three dates in the order of most preferred to least preferred!) Author(s): LuciferxDamien (If you have co-author(s), make sure to list all of them!) Fanworker(s): 2bnallegory (If you are Solo, you can put N/A or Solo here.) Title of Story: The Smoke in Your Eyes (Title)

If you do not have a title for your story, or your title changes, this is fine, just email mods when you have your final title, so we know which stories to check off!

Here's the form with HTML if you want to use that! If you signed up for two stories, please use the form twice. Mods need this information for all author/artist groups and stories. (The HTML is not necessary, just so long as all the information is included.) <b>Dates:</b> <b>Author(s):</b> <b>Fanworker:</b> <b>Title of Fic:</b> Amnesty Period: If you miss your posting date, this is okay! Sometimes things slip our minds or life just happens. November 20th-30th will be the Amnesty Period, which is for any author or fanworker to post their work, if they missed their posting date! If you already think you need the Amnesty Period, list “Amnesty” or “Amnesty Period” as your date choice, no need to select a specific date during the Amnesty Period!

2022 Posting Guidelines

(Date Claiming will open on Saturday, October 1st at 12PM (Noon) (Pacific Time/UTC-6). The DreamWidth post is the only one that will be unlocked for comments; the LiveJournal post will be updated with claims for reference only, but it will not be unlocked for comments to avoid confusion.) Hello everyone! Here are the HetBang 2022 posting guidelines! Remember to be in contact with your author/fanworker partners and discuss when the best date to post will be for everyone! Date Claiming is first come, first served, so please reach out to your group and start discussing when would be the best time for everyone to post. Posting Date Claims will open October 1st and run through October 15th. Posting will begin October 16th and run through November 19th. November 20th-30th will be the Amnesty Period, which is for any author or fanworker to post their work, if they missed their posting date! General Posting Information

Works must not be posted before October 16th. This includes authors that choose to do chaptered posting. Chaptered Posting Guidelines. Works can be drafted before October 16th, so long as they are not posted. Please also note that Ao3 automatically deletes drafts after 30 days.

All stories must be posted to The Het Big Bang 2022 Ao3 Collection. This is so mods can check works off!

All accompanying fanworks must either be posted to Ao3 and added to The Het Big Bang 2022 Ao3 Collection, OR linked/embedded in the story. Fanworks will need to be hosted off-site and then linked/embedded on Ao3. See Fanworker Posting Guidelines for more information.

Chaptered posting is allowed. Chaptered Posting Guidelines

Once your work has been posted to Ao3 and added to the The Het Big Bang 2022 Ao3 Collection, you’re free to post your stories and fanworks wherever else you want to!

You can gift your work to your author/fanworker partner, if you have one, but this is optional. You can also gift your work to anyone else you wish! To gift a work, find “Gift this work to” in the “Associations” section and fill out their Ao3 username.

If you do not have an Ao3 already, please contact us ASAP!!! We have some invites, so if you need an account, please let us know so you can get one right away! Send a DM to LuciferxDamien or Jesterlady on Discord, or an email to thehetbigbang@gmail.com.

Here is this year’s Ao3 Collection: The Het Big Bang 2022 Ao3 Collection Chaptered Posting Guidelines

Starting this year, chaptered posting is allowed. Authors can start posting their works on October 16th, and they have until their chosen posting date to have their work posted in its entirety. Posting before Sunday, October 16th is not allowed. Authors choosing to post chapters separately do not need to claim additional dates, just a final posting date when they intend to post their last chapter. Authors do not need to inform mods of their intended posting schedule, mods will only be checking for completed works based on the date claims. Example: Author A has 4 chapters to post and wants to update their fic twice a week. Author A will need to select a final posting date about 2 weeks after posting begins. Author A wants to post chapter updates Sundays and Wednesdays, and starts posting their story October 16th, followed by the 19th and 23rd. October 26th is the date they need to claim and is the date that mods will be checking their work for completion.

Fanworks can be coordinated with their posted chapter, even if that falls before the chosen posting date. Mods will only be checking that fanworks have been posted based on the date claims. Example: Fanworker A’s author has chosen to do chaptered posting and the fanwork they created correlates with chapter 3 out of 4 chapters. Fanworker A can post their fanwork when their author posts chapter 3 of their work. Author Posting Guidelines

All stories must be posted to The Het Big Bang 2022 Ao3 Collection. This is so mods can check works off!

Stories must be beta read. If you do not have a beta reader already, you can check out

het_banghelp, which has a post set up for beta readers and authors seeking a beta. The HetBang Discord Server has a channel set up for finding a beta reader. There's also betaplease on DW, and for LJ,

find_me_a_beta and

beta_search.

Stories must be completed and posted by the end of the Amnesty Period, November 30th, in order to count as completed. If you’re working with a fanworker, posting an incomplete work can result in consequences. Solo Authors can still drop out at any time, even on November 30th.

If you’re working with a fanworker, try to coordinate a time of day to post. Mods do not expect for stories and fanworks to be posted at the same time, however!

If you're an author that has never used Ao3 before, here is Ao3's guide to posting on the Archive! Please reach out to the mods as well if you require help!

To post, go to The Het Big Bang 2022 Ao3 Collection, and click on “Post to Collection”. From there, fill out the form with your work, and make sure the “Post to Collections / Challenges” section has “TheHetBigBang2022”. If your work isn’t in the collection, we can’t approve it! You can also post regularly, from the top of the screen and input “TheHetBigBang2022” (without quotes) into “Post to Collections / Challenges” and it will appear in the collection. Once you have everything filled out the way you want, select “Preview”. In the preview window, make sure everything is formatted how you want, and then select “Post” at the bottom!

Embedding Fanworks: If you and your fanworker partner would like to embed the fanwork directly into the story, Ao3’s instructions are here, Fanworker Posting Guidelines. Fanworker Posting Guidelines

All accompanying fanworks must either be posted to Ao3 and added to The Het Big Bang 2022 Ao3 Collection, OR linked/embedded in the story. Ao3 does not currently have a way to directly upload anything other than text to the site. This means that fanworks need to be hosted on another site and embedded on Ao3.

Fanworkers can choose to embed their work into the author’s story only, without creating their own post, or they can choose to just make their own post, or both embed their fanwork into the story and create their own Ao3. We recommend fanworkers make their own post, so they get the attention they deserve as well!

Fanworks can be coordinated with their posted chapter, even if that falls before the chosen posting date. Mods will only be checking that fanworks have been posted based on the date claims. See Chaptered Posting Guidelines for more information.

If you're a fanworker that has never posted to Ao3 before, here's a quick guide to follow! We recommend using the HTML editor, not the Rich Text editor, as it has a tendency to mess things up. The Ao3 links below have the HTML code required to post and instructions on how to use it. If you need help with HTML, please reach out and mods will assist you!

Images, gif sets, etc.: We recommend reading through both of these links, as they contain different information. Posting Images to Ao3 with HTML Embedding Images on Ao3 Make sure the url has a file extension, such as .jpg, .png, .gif, etc! Without that, the image will not display. Please reach out to us if you need help with this!

Video, audio, etc.: Podfic, vids, and fanmixes can also be embedded to Ao3! For more information on how to do that, and what sites are whitelisted to embed from on Ao3, follow the links below: Ao3 Whitelisted Hostsites How to Post a video How to Post Audio files, Podfic, or a Playlist Please reach out to mods if you need help with any of this!
