We're baaaaa-ack! Your friendly mods lady_krysis, maharetr, and kate are... well, getting over colds and busy with work, but also super-excited to host another big bang for 2014!

So, put your thinking caps on for creative bangs and gather all your ridiculously enthusiastic (or naggy) friends for cheerleaders so we can get as many diverse and interesting fanworks as possible for this thing! We want the Losers photostory that's done with cats, a Losers family crest, and a Losers cupcake recipe book! We want the companion track for your favorite scene in the movie, origami of the comics, and a rec set of the best Losers fanworks of all time!

Join us for outrageous fun and unbounded creativity! This is the fandom that has a Losers board game, Losers poetry, and lots of Losers knitting! Whatever it is you do, apply it to The Losers, and let's do this thing!

The General Idea

We at Ante Up are hosting a Losers Big Bang — with a twist.

This big bang is not fic only. Anyone can create any large piece and submit it as a bang work.

You heard us. Any type of work can be a big bang. Art, podfic, rec sets, meta, picspams — the list goes on and on. If you can think it up, you can do it in a big bang way! Size limits for the media we could think of are included under the next cut, but if we didn't mention a type of fanwork you'd like to make as a big bang, please Contact A Mod and we can discuss size and submission requirements.

In addition - we want all the big bangs to have rewards for their work, so there will be complementary pieces as well. Complements may also be any sort of fanwork. From fic to poetry to meta to comics to podfic to graphics and anything else you can think of. Again, if we haven't mentioned a type of fanwork you'd like to make as a complement, please Contact A Mod and we can discuss size and submission requirements.

Finally, to round out the teams, we are recruiting enthusiasm experts. If you enjoy being a Beta, a cheerleader, a whipcracker, an Alpha or any other type of random squee generator, efficiency expert, or general helper, we want you to join in the fun and help our teams get all those glorious fanworks completed!

Hi everybody!

Sorry, we should've probably posted something a leeeeeettle sooner, but technically your ante_up_losers fanworks are due tonight.

I won't get around to checking for them until tomorrow, though, so if you're feverishly working away, don't worry - I won't have a second to think about them until tomorrow night around 8pm EST.

The collection is scheduled to go live on Friday, February 7th, 2014, so while they don't have to be complete today, they do need to be relatively finished, at least as big as the required minimum size limits, and posted before 8pm EST Monday, February 3, 2014. Finished works need to be posted before the collection can go live on Friday, so the time on that is tentative.

If you need to default, you can let us know here, or Contact A Mod for a variety of ways to let us know. If you're interested, you can sign up to be a pinch hitter.

And of course, any questions, please Contact A Mod. Comments screened - let me know if you want to unscreen, otherwise I will assume you do not. Thanks!

I am about to climb on a plane. We had company this weekend, so I did not get a chance to close signups and do matching. After my plane ride I will be working for 8-10 hours, and then I will close signups and do matching.

If you would like to try and convince, entice, bribe or otherwise get people to sign up, please do so now! I will close sign ups some time around 9pm PST.
