Sorry, nonnie —- doesn’t look like we’ve got enough interest!
Hi! Any chance of the Big Bang coming back for 2018?
If there’s sufficient interest, FOBB will return in the fall.
So...I'm a Fallout author (only Fallout 3 right now) and I heard about this page through a FB group. I was hoping to learn more, and possibly post my current works in the Fallout universe here if possible, or at the very least, learn how this kind of thing works so I may participate in the future. Apologies if this question is frequently asked. I'm new to Tumblr and don't exactly know how to navigate myself around yet.
Hey there! Big Bangs and Reverse Big Bangs are semi-annual events (roughly) where authors and artists pair up to create long(er) form stories and artwork in the Fallout universe. In a Big Bang, authors sign up to create a 10,000 word (or more!) story and are paired with an artist who creates a work in response. In a Reverse Big Bang, artists create works and authors write a 4,000 word (or more!) story in response. These are submitted to a ‘secret’ AO3 collection, and revealed on a given date. Part of the fun of these kinds of events is meeting new creators and the kind of collaboration it inspires. The next round of the Big Bang (which will be a traditional, 10k style event) will open for sign ups on September 1st. In the meantime, I encourage you to keep an eye on this blog for other updates and to make use of the tags here on Tumblr to start building your readership :)
RFOBB Spring 2017 Masterpost
a timeline Laurence and Gloria Samson are part of the Brotherhood... and then they aren't, as told by an unreliable and very biased narrator. Author: @coppercaravan Artist: @dimhorizonstudio

His Six
Somewhere over a ridge, there was the howl and rattle of a nightstalker; from here Boone would guess they were still a good half-mile off and running the other way. Not close enough for him to worry. The other direction was silent, still. No need to hang out up here, not when there was food below; he could come back up later to make sure all was quiet. He climbed down from his perch above their camp carefully, his feet skittering a little in the dry dirt at the bottom.
Six sat at the fire next to Arcade. It wasn’t Boone’s job to have opinions about things – he’d leave that to the boss - but he liked Arcade. The guy was solid, could hold his own in a fight, and even if he was a little sarcastic he helped fill the silence. At least the constant banter between Six and Arcade helped keep the chattering demons in his head quiet.

@ Mentions not working & Housekeeping
Hey there! As you may have noticed @ mentions are only selectively working on posts; this is likely because I'm relying on the Tumblr app at present. Posts will be updated with working @ mentions as soon as I have a computer again. Also, after all works have been revealed, I plan to read through and comment on each. I encourage you all to do the same and support your fellow creators!
For the RFOBB2017, with art from Dim Horizon. Laurence and Gloria Samson are part of the Brotherhood... and then they aren't, as told by an unreliable and very biased narrator. Author: @coppercaravan Artist: @dimhorizonstudio

Update
We currently have six works submitted. We are currently waiting on another three with an extension for: - personal health
- pinch hit
- AO3 code We have one author waiting to hear from the artist. If for some reason, you have not posted your work, please get in contact with me. I’d like to settle on a reveal date.

It’s not too late! I’ve heard from authors who have likewise not yet received art, so please contact me if that’s happened to you!
