Orson Krennic and Galen Erso - On the Lookout

“My instinct is they’re after you, and not me. Go back to the ship. Tell them to power up and be ready to leave. I’ll be there within ten minutes.”

My part for the @thegalacticimperials Big Bang event: I got paired up with @ivnwrites and got to illustrate her fic: Till Only My Bones Remain!

AU where Krennic suddenly dropped out of the Academy and disappeared, only to resurface years later as the leader of a small crew of pirates. Hired by the alliance to raid the Eadu base, Krennic abducts Galen as part of the job, planning to turn him over once they reach Yavin.

Of course, things rarely go as planned for Krennic.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Words: 20977 Rating: Mature Archive Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationship: Galen Erso/Orson Krennic Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - 1920s, Alternate Universe - Detectives, Period-Typical Homophobia, Mentions of PTSD, Angst with a Happy Ending, Organized Crime, Post World War 1, Prohibition, Red Scare, Not as sad as the tags sound, Imperial Big Bang

The year is 1923. It's been almost half a decade since the end of World War I, and Galen Erso is an overworked detective assigned to the hotbed of Boston's organized crime, the North End. When local working girls start to go missing, he and The Boston Post's crime editor, Orson Krennic, must put aside their problems to solve the mystery.

I’m incredibly proud of this - it’s my first piece of completed historical fiction ever. I couldn’t have done it without the help and the collaboration of my wonderful artist, @mrsjadecurtiss. You can see their incredible art for the fic here!

Submit to the IBB 2017 AO3 collection

We hope you're as excited about the IBB as we are! Since the big reveal is right around the corner, we've set up a collection for all the works on AO3.

Here's how to use it:

When you and your partner are finished with your project, check in with each other. Choose whether or not you want to embed art in your fic post on ao3 (we recommend embedding, but a link is also fine).

If you choose not to embed your art, wait to post it until the 19th, or set the post as private until that point. You can always add the link to the fic after the 19th.

Next, upload the edited and final version of your fic to the ao3 collection using this link (x)

Next, sit back and wait for the 19th, when all the fics and art will be revealed.

Some additional info:

Feel free to make a separate post on tumblr with the art and or fic after the 19th!

If you’re confused about collections on ao3, click here (x). This will explain everything you need to know.

If you want to learn how to embed art in a fic on ao3, send us a message and we’ll put together a tutorial.

Fics have been revealed

We’re so excited to say that all fics posted before today have been revealed. 

You can find them on AO3 in the Imperial Big Bang 2017 collection.

We’ll continue to update the collection as fics are posted, and reblog art that’s tagged #thegalacticimperials or #ibb2017 to the blog! Congrats to everyone who participated!

Extended Deadline - Aug 19

So we’ve been talking to a lot of you, both in your check ins, and also outside of them, and while a lot of you are working hard on your fics and art, we’ve also heard that you’d like a little more time.

So we’ve decided to extend the deadline!

Fics and art must now be submitted by August 19th

That’s right! You now have 2 more weeks than before.

Just as a reminder, fics only have to be 5K long, and artists only have to complete one finished piece and one sketch.

With that in mind, there will be no check in this weekend - we want to give you time to think and plan your next moves!

And one last heads up: Writers, make sure you have an active AO3 account. We will be using the collections feature there to post your work after you submit it on August 19th.

IBB Check in #1

Today is the first check in for the IBB.

At this point, we hope authors and artists have connected, chosen a prompt and have a good sense of where to go from here. 

So what do you do for the check in?

Send us an email or an ask, confirming that you’ve chosen a prompt and feel comfortable. We don’t need to see any work at this point, but we want to make sure you’re settled in your partnerships. 

Only one person of each partnership needs to check in, as long as you’ve talked to each other and feel comfortable!

[thegalacticimperials]

When on the 19th will the fics be released? midnight? As people turn them in?

They’ll be revealed at 12 PM (1200) EST on the 19th. However, authors can add to the collection after that, if they want to post their fic a little later!

Artists can start posting their artwork at any time on the 19th. Just don’t forget that you won’t be able to link to a fic until after it’s revealed, so we recommend posting after 12 PM.
