@spnrarepairbb
Hello! I was wondering if you could give a shoutout to the Megstiel Big Bang? Sing-ups are open right now and people can come to this blog or to mcbbdoomsdaybunker blog for information regarding it. Thank you very much!
Shout-out to this Megstiel big bang! 😁
Be-Witch-Ed
Title: Be-Witch-Ed Author: tfw_cas Betas: Emblue_Sparks & Annie_Eliza Cover: Annie_Eliza Pairing: Billie/Rowena Rating: M Tags: Witches, Drama, Case Fic, Romance, Fake/Pretend Relationship, Canon Divergence, Spells & Enchantments Summary: Ever since she encountered a grief-stricken Rowena attempting to get her son back, Billie has found herself drawn more and more to the witch. After trying to find a reason to spend time with her, Billie discovers a case involving witch-related deaths, and asks Rowena to help her investigate. Will the need to pretend to be a couple, and work closely together, bring them together in an entirely different way?
I am not dead and this bang is still on.
I have had a few family issues in the last month or so. My great-aunt passed away due to complications from a stroke, my dad fractured his spine (combine that with attempting to care for him from afar, a somewhat fractured relationship, and his alcoholism and you have a complicated situation). Just this past thursday, my best friend's mom, who was a mother figure to me throughout college, died suddenly after being diagnosed with the beginnings of brain cancer just a week before. Due to this and some tech issues with no internet and a new phone, I haven't been able to check in like I should.
If you all could let me know how you are doing and if you need any extensions, I would be more than happy to accommodate. If any of the volunteering artists can also make their choices and get back to me, that would also be wonderful. So far, we only have one story claimed by one artist. If if comes down to it, I will make banners and covers for the remaining stories.
Artists:
Initial story information that has been submitted will be sent out to artists this weekend. Apologies for the delay. I unexpectedly worked more this week than planned but you will get to choose the story or stories soon!
Sign-up for the Rare Pair Big Bang! Keep in mind the rules before submitting your form:
1. Eligible pairings have to have less than 50 fics listed on Archive of Our Own under their tag.
2. Popular side pairings are allowed, but you must keep the overall focus on the rare pairing.
3. Throuples are allowed, but the relationships between each of them must be rare. For instance, if you wrote a story that centers around Dean/Castiel/Missouri, it would not be accepted since Dean/Castiel is a popular pairing. But if you wrote Ellen/Benny/Missouri, this would be accepted since all of the potential relationships between those three characters are rarely found.
4. Big Bang Stories must be 15,000 words or more. Mini Bang Stories should remain under 15,000 words. Both are allowed here. If you need to change your story from a Mini Bang to a Big Bang or vice versa, please contact admins so that they can make the changes on your forms and info. Artists: Big Bang Stories should have a banner and 2-3 illustrations minimum. Mini Bang Stories should have a banner and 1 illustration minimum. Both Big Bang and Mini Bang stories have the same check in schedules.
5. Coauthors are allowed. Please put their Ao3 and/or Tumblr in the box when signing up. 6. If you must drop out, please do so before September 26th so that you will not be assigned an artist. 6. Should you need to drop out, please do so before September 16th. Please see our FAQ on our Tumblr page for more information.

i'll eat you whole (ishim/castiel) by snooglyshnork Seriously one of my favorite rare pair videos. It even inspired a (toxic and mostly one-sided) rare pair plot bunny I haven’t written yet. Who knows? Maybe I will write it for the SRPBB ;)
When your rare pair gets to meet Mr. Rogers.
FAQ
1. Why can I only choose pairings that have less than 50 stories dedicated to them?
Because at the time of writing this FAQ, there are currently 188,624 stories on Archive of our Own in the Supernatural Fandom, and over 166,000 are complete. However, when it comes to romantic pairings, there are always going to be a select few in every fandom that get a lot of attention. Our goal is to broaden the literature of this fandom by directing our attention to the pairings, canonical or not, who receive very little to no attention.
2. Do the characters who make up my pairing need to have interacted in the show?
Nope. Not necessary. They may not have ever shared a scene together or know the other one exists canonically.
You want to hook a time traveling Henry Winchester up with Donna Hascum? Please do. I would read the hell out of that.
Maybe you would prefer to write a high school AU where Rowena and Ruby fangirl over Lucifer before realizing he’s not worth it and that they’d rather be with each other.
Of course, you can always write a Benny resurrection fic where he finds his purpose by helping Jody co-parent the girls, finally letting him feel like he belongs.
Or you might want to focus on a canon couple, like Jesse and Cesar (who are only tagged in 24 works on Ao3).
And then there’s my personal favorite, Crowley and Garth. The possibilities are endless there.
3. How much of a popular pairing can I have in my story?
A popular pairing can have a supporting role in your story. The main focus needs to be on the characters that make up the rare pair and their journey though.
4. Can I write a crack fic over a pairing I feel is quite silly and submit it?
Yep. You can write any genre.
5. So I can write a tragic death fic?
Again: Yep. Any genre.
6. What if my pairing has only 20 stories attached to it on Ao3 when I start my story, but then they become super popular due to unknown forces and they aren’t so rare anymore?
As long as they are rare when you sign up and state your pairing, you are still eligible to participate. It just means you were ahead of the times.
7. How are authors and artists matched up?
Artists will be able to choose from a list on a first come, first served basis. So once a story is chosen, it will no longer be available to be chosen. In the event that there is an uneven number of authors and artists, artists that volunteered to do more than one story will be asked if they can take another one on. Should there be more artists than authors, remaining artists will have the option (but not the obligation) to do a promo piece of a rare pair of their choice to be shared on the page.
8. How can I find a beta?
If you don’t have a beta you currently go to for work outside of the Supernatural Rare Pair Big Bang, there will be a document that contains volunteer betas’ names, contact info, preferences, and dislikes. If you find one that feels like a fit, you can contact them through Tumblr or their preferred method of communication.
9. Are polyamory relationships allowed to be the main ship in the SRPBB?
They can be, but please make sure that all of the characters would be considered a rair pair in whichever way you would connect them. For instance, Dean/Castiel/Missouri wouldn’t work since Dean/Castiel is a popular pairing. But Castiel/Ellen/Missouri would, since Castiel/Ellen, Castiel/Missouri, and Ellen/Missouri are all rare pairs.
Please message us for any other questions or concerns.
