Dresden Files Big Bang

Sign-ups are open!

We're open through the 21st of June!

#Dresden Files

Dresden Files Big Bang

We've got a lot of library wall space to cover and plenty of XXX explicit paraphernalia to slip in before certain busybodies who think they're too good for carnal pleasure-

I'm getting ahead of myself. Course I am only a head...

This is all about being a patron of the arts. You know, the kind of thing that those piles of mortar and sediment can't understand. Patrons can be found in all sorts of places. Really. We could learn a lot form Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Capone.

No, Gary I do not want to see the Spice Girls again.

FAQ

For, uhm , auditing purposes writers need to hit a 20k minimum word count. Any less starts flagging other friends that we don't want.

We're not as worried about how the media files are audited. I put it pretty poetically last time and why reinvent the wheel:

If sweet obscenity can be described as "I know it when I see it." you can make a pretty decent judgement on when you think you've made a successful media fill.

It's going to be up to the Writers to woo (or bribe) the Artists into picking them. Don't worry, you don't have to tell us what the bribes are.

That's a completely different form to shred.

Sign-ups are open!

Our sponsor lightly encouraged us to run the numbers in case anyone is on the fence for signing up.

If you start writing June 21st it's only 217 words per day.

If you're the kind of person that doesn't feel the heat til check in, Aug 2nd as a start would be 400 words per day.

If you're REALLY looking for a challenge, Aug 30th would need around 909 words per day.

#Dresden Files

There's a lot of empty shelves in Castle Dresden to be filled.

My collection isn't being donated, that's for sure.

Prompts and Ideas

Want a piece of the action but don't know where to start?

Supply and demand, baby!

@badassbutterfly1987 had done wonderful work a couple years back and hosted a prompt challenge over on A03 with a few options still left wanting and waiting. The ultimate form of literary edging.

Prompts for Dresden Files Prompts 2022

We can go even further back to the mash of up of private & public live journals and the dreamwidth page (circa 2012) for a smorgasbord of prompts and inclinations.

The Dresden Files Kink Meme

If you'd like to to riff with people and have requests hurled at you like overripe fruit, the Discord below is like if improv comedy were actually funny. It'll also be hosting sprints, fact checks, and conversations so secret Thorned Namshiel can't hear it. What. I didn't say anything.

Check out the Dresden Files Fanfic community on Discord - hang out with 10 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.

If you join are you allowed to blog that you’re taking part in big bang without giving away what you’re working on?

Like I would tell anyone to keep hot gossip to themselves.

As long as you're not posting the fic, snippets, excerpts, or the WIP media fills, we're gold.

#bob the skull #dresden files

Hello! I was looking at your big bang rules and wanted to ask about you saying “I wanna see New, Unpublished, and Unaffiliated works. Just not in the mood for some series work now.” —Does that mean you want completely new ideas including Dresden Files, or new ideas that are completely original and not including Dresden Files?

Thank you for putting this on every year!

Hey!

New ideas based on Harry's biographies. This rule is more about any other works in progress you might have.

If you've got 2-4 chapters on another story put it on the shelf set to me if it's got the goods.

Whatever you're writing for the Big Bang should be a new work of fan fiction.

Official sign ups are about half a month away. Course, I can't really stop you from committing yourself early.

I need to spruce up the place a little bit, too.

Month of Murphy 2026

Hello there, I've been busy, so I couldn't do anything for Murphy's birthday. Canonically we don't know when it is (I'm still side-eyeing Twelve Months for not giving us that date), but well, in my headcanon, her birthday is May 1st, it just goes so well with Harry's October 31st. Anyway, so, yeah, I couldn't write a fic about it, but I might try to cook up something for the weekend, if you have ideas, they are welcomed.

On a similar note, just wanted to give everybody interested a heads up that Month of Murphy, you know, the yearly event where we dedicate a whole month to honor Murphy's memory, will be taking place again this year.

So, like every July for the past 4 years, there will be a Month of Murphy this year!

If you have any suggestions for this edition, themes you'd like to see, ideas, etc. leave some comments.

How do you feel about another Big Bang?

Sure!

C'mon Bob, I want to do something else

No, you tricked us last time

Voting ended onApr 8

Now that we've had some time to digest Boss' last memoir, let a spirit know if you want to do a little something-something.

Harry still won't let me near the manor. I'm calling my union.

Looks like we'll be potentially having another Big Bang with maybe a smaller warm up event!

Details and general interest forms will start popping up this week.

If you have any questiona for this skull, let me know.

Dresden Files Yule Fic Exchange

So...you remember how Lady Molly got into a terrifying rage slightly mad at my attempts to help during the last Big Bang? I had to smooth some feathers over. Here's Grimalkin with the what's-what and who's-who.

Do you think he could have made his signature any worse? Don't go throwing his name around, kids- he's been looking for a reason to use those claws of his for evil. You should see what he's done to my window panes.

Talk about oblique. Let me see if I can't unravel some of this...sheesh, I mean...wow. The "Cold Moon" how pretentious are we- GET HIM OFF THE DOOR. IT'S TEAK.

Let's get this straight:

Sign Ups are "officially" starting Oct 31st and running through Nov 30th.

You'll receive the prompts for your giftee Dec 4/5th . Don't tell them! That'll ruin the surprise and-

Look. Look at me.

I can't have you people screwing this up again. Last time I couldn't even pass Harry the paperwork and I got lawyers and Winter Fae after the spine I don't even have more than a year later.

What you're going to do is post your fic between Dec 21-Dec 31st on AO3, tumblr, or whatever stone slab you get your rocks off to but make sure your recipient knows its for them.

Now Winter, for some reason, didn't trust me or my help to create the form with this one.

Have I read it? No. Am I going to? Are you out of your damn mind. That way lies madness.

This goes without saying that if you request a fic, you're going to have to write one yourself. Or Grimalkin will be the least of your worries.

These are meant to be stocking stuffers (hehe, stuff her) maybe 1000-1700 words

If you have any questions just drop them in my inbox. I'll have my people call Molly's people.

Last few days of sign ups!

serpensortia06

Well I was. Late.

I unfortunately imitated Jim Butcher and wrote a short fic on a time crunch, and well… Life happened.

Anyway, this is for @Rionarch. I am sincerely hoping I got the right blog for as late as I ended up being...
