Mander's Big Ass Big Bang, official Thang

[amand_r]

The point was that I needed a deadline and people to force me to meet it. There were no convenient fests, so here we are.

RULES:

1. So it's basically us all forcing ourselves to do this.
2. Minimum is 10K.
3. You have to include messy sandwiches, which can be a one liner, a whole scene full of them, a partial scene, or as my mother brought up, a messy sex sandwich, if you are so inclined. Thank you, Mum.
4. Posting starts on Sept 15. My goal is to all but done by Aug 30.

SO FAR:

amand_r: Torchwood, season 4
paragraphs: You've Got Mail with aliens!
topgeargirl2: A dark story from Jack's past
cruentum: Torchwood Finds Nemo. No, really.
valancy_joy: 1980s Jack off the rails in NYC (Beauty and the Beast crossover!)
blue_fjords: The Sequel to my Supernatural AU that I haven't even finished writing yet!
solsticezero: Ianto Jones aboard the Starship UK
misswinterhill: Whoniverse Adventure/Romance/Humour/Angst WITH Jack/Alonso, Eleventh Doctor, Amy, Face of Boe
wynkat1313: Torchwood and the Tree of Life
neifile7: Jackstory as The Odyssey.
wildeagain: Jack Harkness and Ludwig Wittgenstien
pocky_slash: A totally self-indulgent, completely AU Not!OT3 that ends in kidfic

Have one? Link me!

[wynkat1313.livejournal.com]

you had to set the deadline that far out didn't you? damnit... that works for my insane plan for my summer.... and the niggling idea in my head ... crap....

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

LA LA LA.

Honey, I might not even make THAT deadline. I AM WORKING VERY VERY HARD.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

YAY!!!!!

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

WHOOHOO

[wildeagain.livejournal.com]

Wow, I sorta want to participate but everyone's links (that I have access to) appear v. srs. bsns. already and all I can contribute at this moment is: Fights Alien Crime. Probably.

eta: because my brain has been replaced with jello.

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

Dude. Participate. Since my entry is flocked you can't see the mess that comes down to "THINK SPIES AND CONSPIRACY OMG! NEMO! JACK! THE DOCKS!" -- so not srs bsns

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

LOLOLOLOL WHATEVS. TORCHWOOD FINDING NEMO? WTF?

[valancy-joy.livejournal.com]

DO IT. Seriously, I can think of lots of ways to describe this thing I'm doing but SRS BZNS is not one of them.

Jack hangs out with mutant lion man. um. yeah.

WRITE!!! WRITE FOR FUNS!!

[neifile7.livejournal.com]

So, uh, I just posted mine: http://neifile7.livejournal.com/23072.html.

Looking at all these is gettin' me verrrry excited. Rawr. It's a fine thing you're doing here, me love.

I'm stocked the Pimms for Saturday, btw, and shined my shoes.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I feel a little like I stole some people from the tw_bigbang, but I just couldn't wait, and I find that of other people are doing it, then I'll push on.

SORRY TW BIG BANG!

[misswinterhill.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHA I CAN TOTALLY WRITE 10K.

Wait, it took me nearly a year to write the VS.

Shit.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

YEAH, BUT REMEMBER WHAT THAT LAST...20K WAS LIKE? SOOOOO FAST.

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

I might shelf mine and go with another thing for this, I haven't quite decided yet, but seeing how I have no coherent plot structure atm it's all very nggggah

[wildeagain.livejournal.com]

But I was enthused to read about those little fishes that are marked with sharp orange lines around them like a Kandinsky painting...

[temporal-witch.livejournal.com]

Gawd, I am so tempted to sign up for this. So tempted!

This is me, who still has a good 20k words left to write for the reel_tw fic and a work schedule that would drive a woman to drink (and often does). This is me, who doesn't need to sign up for something else! I've no idea what I'd write.

Although...the deadline is still four months out... *peers and considers*

Damn your eyes for enticing me like this. Much thinkingness will have to occur now. Damn brainusingness and soberness. :p

Let me give it some thought. How long do I have to shit or get off the pot decide for sure?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

WE HAVE NO DEADLINE. JUST REMEMBER THE LONGER YOU WAIT, THE SHORTER YOUR WRITING TIME IS.

[behindblue-eyes.livejournal.com]

That list is entirely too awesome for words.

I haven't even finished my reel_torchwood fic yet (though it's over 10K and not even half finished) and I want to join your party instead. Curse you awesome Big Bang!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

WELL, DO WHAT I DO. WHEN YOU MISS ONE DEADLINE YOU JUST READJUST AND USE THE SAME FIC TO SIGN UP FOR ANOTHER. I AM HORRIBLE THAT WAY.

[topgeargirl2.livejournal.com]

Yeah my title is awesome!

The funny thing was I treated it as like a meme than an actual big bang. It was for me to have a deadline. oh well.

So I have this and a RPF to do.

At least the RPF is going to be shorter.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

YOUR TITLE IS SWELL.

[pocky_slash.livejournal.com]

OKAY OKAY I'VE SUCCUMBED TO PEER PRESSURE.

Self-indulgent, completely AU Not!OT3 Kidfic

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

YES!

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

am trying to get lionessvalenti to co-write with me - it's not working

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

SHE'S A GREAT CO-WRITING PARTNER.

Mander's Big Ass Big Bang, official Thang

[kin-you-bi.livejournal.com]

I'm so tempted to sign up for this - mainly because I just crunched the numbers, and not counting today it's exactly 12-3 days til Aug 30, and I like numbers like that. Also I stupidly mentioned my baby-art-school-in-drag-Gerard-Way-as-the-Tenth-Doctors-last-companion bunny in the wrong places and now people expect me to actually write it. ::facepalm::

Re: Mander's Big Ass Big Bang, official Thang

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

there is nothing wrong with that idea. LOL.

[mcparrot.livejournal.com]

Ooo Ooo - waves hand in air - pick me.
I've got one that's already 15+K and needs wrapping up and finishing.
Untitled as yet (known as "Something really bad had happened" [cause that's the first line]which may or may not stick). Fits between my stories Weta and Family History and involves a visit from the worst creatures imaginable - and just when things seem to be calming down, the daughter Jack gave birth to back in the 51st century.
Lots of Hurt!Ianto and Jack angst. Timey Wimey.
