2016 Check, Please! Big Bang Fic and Art Master List
A big thank you to our authors and artists who participated in the inaugural Check, Please! Big Bang! We had thirty-three fics and pieces of art in total. There are lots of great stories and great art here in a wide variety of themes and pairings and genres, so you'll be sure to find something you enjoy!
You can find the complete list of fic and art here on LiveJournal.
Last day to post!

This is a reminder that today is the last day to post to LiveJournal. If you have not already contacted us about posting, or if you do not post by the end of the day (Eastern time), your fic and your art will be posted by the mods using your last submission, regardless of completion.
If you have any questions please contact us at [email protected].
wait, y’all are going to post people’s unfinished work without their permission if they miss the final deadline? isn’t that a little, um, extreme? if people miss the final deadline, can’t they just… not… be…. included? i understand wanting to encourage people to participate and finish their fics on time, but this rule doesn’t seem like standard practice for a fic fest, honestly. did everyone explicitly agree to those terms when they sent in partial submissions? like, you… don’t own someone’s work just because they sent it in to your fest?
i’m not participating in bb or anything this year, so it’s not my fic involved, but i… am a concerned citizen?
@ing the mods? @icosahedonist @profoundmisfitdichotomy @swarleybradbury
We hear your concern. We will NOT be posting anyone’s work without their permission.
Our thinking was that since this is not just a fic fest but a partnered author/artist event, it is unfair for our authors and artists to be unable to post their fic or art they’ve been working on for months because their partner has not responded to them or to us by the original posting date or our extended posting date that we added to try to accommodate these participants. If, instead, authors and artists out there would like to write or make art for our hardworking artists and authors who have been abandoned by their partners, we encourage you to do so. Please contact us if you wish to pinch hit for these artists and authors.

How to Post Your Fic/Art: Revised
We’ve updated the how-to post on LiveJournal, which you can find here. Hopefully this will clarify any previous questions.
We’ve also posted an example of how to both join the community on LiveJournal (in order to post to the community) and what your post will look like. You can find this here.
If you have any further questions, leave a comment on the relevant post or email us at [email protected].
How to Post Your Fic/Art
Posting day is coming up.
Please see this post for what you have to do when posting your fic and art links to the community.
Please be sure to follow the template provided when creating your post.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment on the post, or email the mods.
Art drafts due today!
Send your art drafts as attachments to [email protected]. We just need your drafts, NOT final art.
Completed fics and art drafts due!
Today’s the day, everyone: if you haven’t already, please send in your completed fic or your art draft. If you have extenuating circumstances that will delay your submission, please let us know as soon as possible.
If you have not contacted your author/artist, please do so immediately! Artists need access to fics so they can get started. If anyone has any questions, please email us at [email protected].
EDIT: Please see our previous post concerning the ARTIST DRAFTS/CHECK-IN.
If you have completed them, thank you for sending them to us. If not, that is okay, you still have until the 25th.
All artists, please see this post about your check in.
Thank you!
Clarification on artist check-ins and drafts
There's some confusion about the artist schedule. The original schedule states that artist check-in is on October 15th, and artist drafts are to be submitted by October 25th. We apologize for the post saying that artist drafts are due on October 15th, and ask that you disregard that information.
If you have submitted a draft already, you do not have to submit a draft for the 25th. If you have not submitted a draft, your draft is still due on the 25th. All art must still be completed by November 1st.
The artist check-in post is here on LiveJournal. If you have any further questions, please email us at [email protected].
Again, we apologize for the confusion.
