kate: The Losers team with 2014 Ante Up Big Bang in text (Losers: Big Bang 2014)
[personal profile] kate posting in [community profile] ante_up_losers
Hey Losers - it's time! Don't forget to look at the rules/timelines before you sign up.

For these sign-ups, (one of) the bang creator(s) should sign up with a top-level comment, following the guidelines below. If the teams have more than one bang, the second (and third, and fourteenth) bang creator should sign up in reply to the top level comment so the whole team remains in a single thread.

We're asking that ONLY BANG CREATORS SIGN UP RIGHT NOW so that we can get a look at how many teams we will have and allow people to make sure they can participate at a level they're comfortable with. Complement sign-ups will happen from April 23, 2014.

COMPLEMENT AND CHEERLEADER SIGN-UPS ARE LIVE! Please sign up for teams below.

If you want to ask about a team or hash out more details please do it at the party post. Please don’t try to sign up for complements yet. In the past, we've done all signups at the same time; this year, we are separating them to give complement creators a chance to see the entire list of bangs before making a commitment. This will also help the mods make sure everyone has a full team even if they missed the comment party and don't know anyone in the fandom yet. (If you get excited and accidentally sign up early, don't worry: we will delete that comment for you, and you can re-post once signups are open.)

When posting your bang as a top-level comment, please do the following:

1. Put the team name in the subject line.
2. Include the following information in the body:
** A brief description of the type of bang (macaroni castle, digital art of Aisha skydiving, post-apocalyptic Clay/Roque fic).
** Link to your party post thread, if there is further information over there.
** A note about whether you are okay with people jumping on board with complements, or if you would prefer they go to the party post to discuss first.
** Plans for team organization/activities/scheduling, if you know it.

Handy bang sign-up text:




COMPLEMENTERS/CHEERLEADERS: Please respond to the bang comment below with your type of complement/cheerleading offering.

Handy sign-up text:



We will make sure every bang has a complement - so if you didn't have an offer over on the comment party sign-up, you can still sign up here. We will make it work!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact a mod.

Type of bang: Fic (regular bang)
Link to party post thread: link
Okay for complementers to jump in, or should they visit the party thread first? everyone is welcome however they want to join!
Plans for team organization/activities/scheduling, if known: um, not really planned (we're bad at planning), but the bang fic will be written in google docs, and anyone who wants an invitation can hang out there and comment and poke. I'm also basically always on gchat, and my co-writer is when she can? If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to comment with them.

There is already a complement original song in the works already. Come have cracky, cracky fun with us?

That sounds so awesome! Since the story is set in France, there will probably be a lot of French pastries and baked goods (croissants, éclairs, choux, maybe even crêpes), but all baked things are good baked things, so suggestions and brainstorming would be super welcome!

Anything you want to make, we will do our very best to put in the story.

I think my crêpes addiction means they kind of have to show up... (you just can't find _proper_ crêpes in GA). Also, you're totally rocking this posting thing.

But yeah, if there is anything you want to try, we can totally have a bored Jensen give it a shot! <3

Yay for stuff that's (possibly) easier to make gluten-free! :D

Unless there's a TON of recipes, it's usually not that hard to add food scenes to fic. After all, everybody's gotta eat. I've actually done it before. In fact, I did it last time I did a bang...

*immediately bookmarks link* definitely gonna try that, it sounds tasty. My favourite bread is probably this stuff, which I don't get to eat very often, since A) I rarely visit Denmark these days, and B) I usually get a bit lazy when it comes to cooking for myself.

I'm pretty sure brownies and cupcakes are global at this point, yeah. You're not gonna be able to escape them. Plus, they're both fairly easy to make, even in big batches, which is a plus when you're making them commercially. :D

That layering reminds me of the recipe I was just looking up tonight for pain au chocolat, basically a French croissant with chocolate inside it. Lots of butter, much-folded pastry, let rise several times, and fold again!
Kate suggested looking up things to read for a podfic about chocolate, and I came across the magnificence of this site...
It's an encyclopedia of terms...

Pretty much all layered, buttery baked goods are delicious, it's like a law of nature or-.. or physics or something. The only downside is that most of them flake up a lot and make a mess when you eat...

Oh wow, you clearly intend for me to do nothing but read food porn for, like, a week, huh?

I've only looked at, like, two letters so far, but I was surprised at how many of the terms I was already familiar with. Yaaaay, chocolate <3

(Okay, off to do productive writing stuff! food porn later)

....am I gonna have to beat you off of these sites so we can actually, y'know, write? XD XD I think we can put the describing the food in your court (pun, pun), since I'm more of the "ooh, food" camp and you're clearly the "OOOOH, GOOD FOOD!! :D" camp here.

The South has such great food, but THIS. THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS. And alas, New Orleans is just a tidge too far to just go and get crepes and also they really only had those delicious crepes that one time for one of their many festivals but I can't remember which one. Alas. *flops over with hand to forehead*

Oh man, I've never had the urge to drive to New Orleans before (honestly, driving from San Antonio to Atlanta with my mother and a cockatiel cured me of ever wanting to drive that route again *ever*), but for actual crepes, the urge is so, SO strong. There is _one_ random little coffee shop in San Antonio that has crepes that are fabulous, but that's even farther away than New Orleans now. There's also a creperie in Japantown in San Francisco that was to murder for. I don't know why Japantown sold crepes, but that place had a line twenty feet long and it was *worth it*. It really makes me miss Paris where I think I ate nothing but crepes for a week straight at a different restaurant each day...

But yeah, the South has such fabulous food, but damn do they suck at pastries so hard.

Japan loves crêpes. Like, I'm pretty sure every single mall has a crêperie or some restaurant or something that otherwise sells crêpes. Usually only sweet ones, though, I've only been to one restaurant that did the savoury ones, and they specialized in crêpes, nothing else. And I know the crêpe vans/street vendors exist too, I just haven't bumped into them over there, seeing as I've mostly lived in the boonies.

But yeah, find a Baskin Robbins in Japan, and they will have crêpes. They're overly fond of whipped cream, though, to an almost insane degree :/
