The @duesouthbigbang 2025 collection drops tomorrow (American Thanksgiving!)

It feels like ages since I finished my contribution, earning me this nifty badge.

The Last Link is a Due South/Polar Explorer RPF/The Terror crossover fic (without the monster), featuring complementary works from two awesome creators!

Summary:

Nunavut, Canada April 1999

Five hundred miles north of nowhere, frozen, hungry, and feeling useless, Ray Kowalski is ready to give up on finding the Hand of Franklin and head back to Chicago. But when the ghost of Sir John Franklin appears, Ray and Fraser realize that only they can help him move on. Will finding the last link claim their lives - or show them the road back home again?

[duesouthbigbang]

2025 due South/C6D Big Bang collection is LIVE!

Go check out the fanworks on AO3 - and leave comments and kudos for our hardworking creators!

[duesouthbigbang]

Complementary creators - your mandatory check in is Saturday, November 1!

We'll have a rolling chat on discord (sort of like our first informal chat this year), and you can talk through progress, ask for help, etc.

Participating in the chat can count as your check-in; otherwise, please email us at [email protected] or DM one of the mods by the end of the day on November 1 to let us know how things are going.

[duesouthbigbang]

Complementary claims open!

Complementary claims for the 2025 due South/C6D big bang are now open! Go check out the primary works available and stake your claim here on dreamwidth.

[duesouthbigbang]

the 48-hour open claiming period is over and some initial match ups are coming soon, but we still have a few works that don't have a complementary creator. If you're on the fence about signing up, please take a look and see if there's anything that appeals to you!
