Rules/Fanwork Size Requirements | Deadlines | Opt-In Post | Contact A Mod

This is the place for teams of folks to meet up and get together to create lots of awesome Losers fanworks!

A few rules before we get started:

1. Please take a look at the rules, particularly the size requirements for bang-sized fanworks. If you have any questions, please comment over there or Contact A Mod.

2. Please use the subject lines. Put as much or as little information you have about your team, complement offering, or bang-sized work. Examples:
--Comics Bang: Artist looking for an author, dark and gory. Would like fanmix or graphics complements.
--Knitting Complements: 1-2 items for up to two bang-sized fanworks
--Fic Bang: Crack AU where the Losers are all snowmen, looking for wacky complements
--Podfic Complement: Willing to do a podfic complement for a bang; either a section of a fic bang or a related story to some other type of fanwork.
--Fanmix Bang: set of six albums for all the main characters based on individual arcs, want an art complement (covers).
--Haiku Complements: Offering sets of haiku complements to up to four art bangs.
--Art Bang: several panels featuring Jensen base jumping and Cougar watching through his scope. Any complement(s) or additional bang(s) would be great.
--Meta Bang: want to write a bang-sized meta but need help brainstorming in the comments
--Team Rock and Roll: 2 bangs and 3 complements on a rock band AU; willing to take on more fanworks of either size.
--Unknown: Want to create an unusual bang in tandem with one or more complement creators. (Include more details about what you might want to do in the comment itself).
--Unknown: Looking for a team to do pirates vs. ninjas in many formats.
--Plot bunny up for grabs: Losers as a professional baseball team (feel free to drop prompts or plot bunnies for others to pick up, but please make it obvious in the subject line you do not intend to do the fanwork yourself)

3. Items to address in your top-level comment:
--Type and size of fanwork you're creating (if you know)
--Type(s) of and size(s) of fanworks you're looking for (if you have a preference)
--Subject matter, genre, general idea, other details about your fanwork (if you know)
--What kind of team you're looking for: hands-off, cheerleading, interactive...
--Anything else you feel like including!

4. Cheerleading is a great thing - just a 'yay' or 'awesome idea' is a great boost to getting a big fanwork like this done. Feel free to cheer on individuals or teams or throw out ideas for other folks to take hold of.

5. This post is not any sort of official commitment to create a complement or big-bang-sized fanwork. It's an opportunity to generate ideas with fellow fans, collaborate, and have fun. Official sign ups will be May 8-15.

6. Have a great time! *turns on the disco ball*

Poetry big bang (Haiku big bang): Cougar/Jensen DADT

[maharetr]

Okay, I'm very late to the party, and with a 'oh god what am I doing?" idea but!

Now that I've checked the specifications, and translated the Big poetry big_bang "40 lines of poetry" into "40 haikus" I'm like... that'd be four characters, 10 haikus each, that's kinda like two vignettes each, I barely need a plot for that...

And now I'm gently, gently turning over in my mind a Jensen/Cougar and not-asking-not-telling and what that does to your relationship, being utterly unable to *talk* about it openly, and the others being fiercely protective of them, even though they don't need it and ANGST of course...and... I think I have a bunny.

I don't know how the hell one complements 40 fucking haikus, (podfic? It'd be a quick read! Art? Picspam to offer visual narrative?)

Team wise I've... never collaborated on something before, actually. I will almost certainly need firm pokes and "I shall be checking in with you on a regular basis, so you better have work for me!" to keep me on track. That said, I can arrange bullying-for-own-good outside fandom, if need be.

I'm pretty good at offering moral support/hassling for other people too, once I know what your preferred style is :D I can totally, totally do the 'omg you opened Photoshop! GO YOU!" kind of hand holding, or leave you alone for weeks.

Is there anything I've missed?

*peers through fingers* *posts*

\o/ SO MANY POSSIBILITIES.

I am trying to make my brain figure out a way to do some graphics for this that incorporate your haikus with some visuals (possibly in a comics style with panels). Still trying to think this through, but I'm definitely interested in teaming up somehow to make this work! :D

Re: Poetry big bang (Haiku big bang): Cougar/Jensen DADT

[maharetr]

I totally just did \o/ in front of my laptop. OMG OMG.

But first, bed, and sleep, because 11pm in Australia. Maybe with scribbling in notebook, too

Re: Poetry big bang (Haiku big bang): Cougar/Jensen DADT

[saekhwa]

Hahahaha. We can always chat about this later. Sleep is important! (Or so I'm told. Lol.)

Also, also, my e-mail is lady[dot]krysis[at]gmail[dot]com, and I use Google Talk, too, if you want to hop on chat and talk about this more whenever you're rested and all that jazz.

EEEEEEE. SO EXCITED.

Re: Poetry big bang (Haiku big bang): Cougar/Jensen DADT

[maharetr]

EEEE SO EXCITE! Sorry for hte radio silence, I got called on Monday saying would I like to come in for a job interview on Friday? (A: Fuckyeah, and ohgodcontrolledpanic). However! I shall email you this evening Australia time (so, like morning your time) and blurt out my thoughts *vibrates*

And I'll post my offical signing up thing then, too *bites nails*

Also y'all are SO AWESOME for setting all this up <3 <3

Re: Poetry big bang (Haiku big bang): Cougar/Jensen DADT

[saekhwa]

Not a problem at all! (Also, fuck yes! *sends you all the good thoughts and well wishes*)

Sign-ups continue through May 15, so no rush! <3

Awwww, and thank you, bb! We really have this awesome fandom to thank for it. All of you have been so receptive to the idea of an open fanwork, more collaborative big bang. :D I love this fandom.

Re: Poetry big bang (Haiku big bang): Cougar/Jensen DADT

[harpers_child]

i am really hoping you manage this because it sounds awesome. i am attempting the giant fanmix, but may be able to do some sort of photo-manipulation art thing? i just like the idea of a giant set of haiku.

Re: Poetry big bang (Haiku big bang): Cougar/Jensen DADT

[kate]

Oh, replying here again because I will TOTALLY podfic a haiku bigbang. :D!!!!

Re: Poetry big bang (Haiku big bang): Cougar/Jensen DADT

[maharetr]

OMG SO EXCITE! THANK YOU! *cough*

Would you rather be involved once it's done and dusted, and ready for reading, or during the writing process? :D :D Either is A-OK, I'm just starting to map out how this is going to work :D

Also y'all are SO AWESOME for setting all this up <3 <3

Re: Poetry big bang (Haiku big bang): Cougar/Jensen DADT

[kate]

I'm happy to do it either way, whatever works better for you - the podfic will only take a day to turn around, so I can cheer and cajole in the meantime. :D
