The FINAL YEAR of the Captain Swan Supernatural Summer is behind us, so it's time for the CSSNS24 Event Roundup!!!

Does anyone else need a min? I know I do...

Before we get to the roundup itself, I have to give the LOUDEST OF SHOUT OUTS and GROUP HUG to the team of mods - @winterbaby89 @jrob64 @stahlop and @ultraluckycatnd - who helped me EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!!! This event absolutely wouldn't have happened without them and I'm sooooo grateful that they stepped up to the plate to make this final event a success!!! Thank you all soooo much, ladies!!!!

Also as part of this final roundup, I want to share all the links to all the other event roundups that have been reblogged the last few weeks. This has been an PHENOMENAL ride over all these years and I'm so grateful for all the love and support y'all have given it!! And now, all of the fics and art from all of the years will be in one place!!

Thank you all again for EVERYTHING all these years!!! Its been an honor and privilege to man the helm for most of these years, but it certainly wouldn't have lasted as long as it has without the contributions of all the participants and the enthusiasm of the audience!!!! So thank you all from the bottom of my heart!!!

And now, on to the roundup!!!! Under the cut, unless Tumblr ate it.

I opened us up this year on July 2 with the first of two contributions I prepared for this final event. The Arena was a short and - kinda, maybe, not so much overall, but def by the end - sweet werewolf oneshot with breathtaking artwork by @motherkatereloyshipper !!!

On Aug 4, I posted my second fic for the event, Return to Me, again with stunning artwork by @motherkatereloyshipper !! Since the whole purpose of this event was to bump up the number of werewolf and vampire CS fics, and I'd already posted a werewolf fic this year, I came up with a fic that I thought the original Dracula was kinda about. Turns out that I was very wrong. But anyway, it was a lot of fun to write.

On Aug 6, @belovedcreation posted the first chapter of an epic werewolf fic, Can I Be Your Werewolf? featuring lovely artwork from @mie779!! 33 chapters that she just finished posting TODAY, it was an awesome ride from start to finish!!!

On Aug 8, @everything-person shared with us a smorgasbord of ideas that she came up with, but real life intervened and she wasn't able to write full fics for them. HOWEVER, she did make art for them all and shared a snippet of where she wanted to go with each one. Each one was absolutely fantastic and I hope there will come a day when she is able to write the fics and share them with us!!

On Aug 10, @jonesfandomfanatic posted the first two chs of her fic, Into the Parallel. Now on ch6 of 7, this is an incredible time travel/realm jumper fic that I am absolutely in love with!!!

Our last fic of the event, Scattered Earth (Mortua Terra), posted just yesterday. Real life intruded and kept @dykelilypage from finishing her fic until last week, but I told her that if she could get it in before I posted the roundup, I'd still include it, and boy did she deliver!!! The fic was absolutely incredible!!! Supernatural investigative reporters Emma Swan and Killian Jones team up to solve a mystery. Utterly perfect artwork done by @eastwesthomeisbest

Well, that's it, y'all!! Our FINAL CSSNS has come to an end!!

Everyone take a moment, take a deep breath, and join me in expressing your appreciation to all the participants this year and over the last six for giving us such PHENOMENAL, INCREDIBLE, FANTASTIC supernatural stories!!! There are still many fics from past years that the authors are still active in fandom and plan on continuing whenever they get a chance. And to that end, this blog is not going anywhere. Whenever an update to a fic posts, I'll be right here to read, flail, and reblog.

Until then, y'all!!!

Cosmic Cataclysm event Roundup, delayed because Tiny co decided that Android players should start with a day less the Shield event, Huzzah!

Regardless, I did fairly good in the event even while taking a bit of a slow down, chill break. Let's see what I managed to get in that time:

- First, the characters I already had, Carol and Cosmo. Cosmo just got to Silver as I got a handful of shards by just playing. Those Challenges that gave shards were Amazing. Meanwhile Carol grew a lot! Now becoming my third best Tank, and Cosmic party member, I'm very proud of her!

- On the New section, I got Nova, my child who I couldn't buy in Guardians 2, and Beta Ray Bill, who was so Premium in V1 they invented the term "Leviathan" for him. Now they're home, and BRB even got strong to help out. Glad to have him on the B Team.

- Costumes wise, ignoring the 3 regular Costumes I already had, Enchantress got a really cool outfit that makes her stronger. Once I dump Exp on her, she's gonna be a great Mystic Help.

- No 'New' V2 characters sadly... They were all pretty locked up in their RNG cages, and getting BRB was a way better investment of time than trying to get the Space Bros. Also Carol's costume was beyond my reach thanks to hard Heroics, and I COULD have gotten Cosmo's costume... But I didn't hold the timer... Lesson learned everyone, ALWAYS. HOLD. THE MISSION.

And that's about it. I am taking a more chill approch to events, and seeing how I have every Returning Character in this event and I know nothing about AoS... I might just have to take it easy with this event too. Rising will be pretty hype though!

[captainneverever]

The Cosmic Cataclysm event is over for me.

So what I got out of the event was: 1) Mar-vell; 2) Noh-varr; 3) Hyperion; 4) got Beta Ray Bill, Cosmo, Mar-vell, and Nova to gold rarity; 5) got Carol to plat; and 6) the outfit for Enchantress. And did some leveling up on various characters.

I’ll get the gold trophy, the one that drop comic books because I’m not able to beat all the maps.

This is the first event that I felt that having some characters already at gold and at higher levels was helpful. Interested to see what happens in the Agents of Shield event with already ranked and leveled up characters.
