TITLE: winter is coming

AUTHOR: coffeesuperhero (thefangirlhood)

ARTIST: lexieken (artbylexie)

RATING: R

CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Sif/Loki

WARNINGS: Canon-typical violence, mild sexual content

SUMMARY: Of all Asgard's inhabitants, only the Lady Sif knew that Loki was capable of traveling between the realms with the aid of his magic, and for centuries, they traveled together around the universe in secret. They sought their own adventures separate from Thor and the Warriors Three, falling in-- and out-- of love as Loki slowly descended into madness, while Sif could do little but watch as her lover and friend became her enemy.

TITLE: Speak In Rounds

AUTHOR: teslatricity

ARTIST: froopinghiddles

RATING: R

CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Loki/Sif, Jane/Thor

WARNINGS: semi-explicit sex, canon-typical violence, mention and brief description of physical torture, mention of and brief touching on mental instability/mental health problems.

SUMMARY: Hundreds of years after the events of The Avengers, Loki and Sif have left the palace with their three children and live in the northern regions of Asgard. It is the only way Loki can maintain some control of himself and be a father to his children, while still allowing Sif to serve as a warrior of Asgard. Their arrangement is out of necessity, but when Sif is captured by enemies during battle, Loki must either find a way to control his fears... or lose her forever.

TITLE: Deflection AUTHOR: Flashysyren ARTIST: Coffeesuperhero RATING: PG-13 PAIRINGS: Loki/Sif; Thor/Jane WARNINGS: Canon-typical violence, Blood in relation to a fight scene, Death of background characters in fight scene. [It’s a short scene, but a lot happens in it.] SUMMARY: The war with Malekith has concluded and all seems well as everyone settles back into their lives, but for one warrior, nothing is as it should be, and she thinks that it’s very likely her fault that it is not. Figuring out how to find her footing in a place where everything has changed, and where happiness is much harder to find, may very well push her into a decision that will permanently take her away from those she loves.

TITLE: though the truth may vary this/ship will carry our bodies safe to shore AUTHOR: artyartie ARTIST: bechedor79 RATING: PG-13 CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Loki/Sif, Jane/Thor WARNINGS: Major Character Death (AUish) SUMMARY: Loki and Sif, two maritime archaeologists, have found the Casket of Ancient Winters on the wreck of the Asgard.  And they may or may not have fallen in love.  When a Frenchwoman claims the Casket was stolen from her family centuries ago, long before the wreck, Sif, the Odinsons, and Jane and Darcy have to make a stake on the artifact.  What none of them know is the past may be coming back to haunt them in ways none of them can imagine.

well what I mean is can we post them up ourselves, on our own blogs, or do the posts have to be submitted to this central blog? I'm assuming from your response you mean submit them here or on DW.

Lol yes, sorry about the lack of clarification for that part. The stories themselves are hosted on your blogs/sites, with a master post on the tumblr blog or DW community with the requested header and active links to the story. Does that make more sense?

[tenthousandwordsoflokisif]

LAST MINUTE QUESTION AUTHORS/ARTISTS PUT UP THE MASTER POST THEMSELVES RIGHT WE DONT SUBMIT IT TO YOU FOR POSTING HOW DOES THIS WORK

As far as I can tell we have an unmoderated submission queue for this community (though if someone knows how to check that it would be awesome) - so submissions can be put through the tumblr site. And I know for a fact that the DW community is open posting so long as you are a member of the community.

[tenthousandwordsoflokisif]

Big Bang submission guidelines

Here is the template of what must be included with your master post on posting day: TITLE: AUTHOR: ARTIST: RATING: CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: WARNINGS: SUMMARY: LINK TO STORY: (and where that link leads to AO3/DW/Tumblr/etc) LINK TO ART: (and where that link leads to AO3/DW/Tumblr/etc) Any additional information to mean to include is fine. But the above is the mandatory/non-negotiable things that must be part of the master post. Only the author or the artist need submit the master post (not both). So authors and artists, decided who will be putting up the master post for your Big Bang. Any questions or concerns can be directed to me through a comment or an ask.

[tenthousandwordsoflokisif]

Important Dates Changed:

if it possible that, if you cant find more artists, an artist can take on more than one story?

This is a good question, and an option I had not let be known publicly until now. Yes. If I fail to find new artists to claim our two remaining stories, then I am going to offer the three artists who have already claimed their stories the option and the chance to pick a second one if they believe they will be able to devote enough time to both. I promised the authors that their stories would get a piece of art for their stories and I will deliver on this promise.

[tenthousandwordsoflokisif]

Dear authors: Those of who's stories have bed picked up , please feel free to contact your artists (they have no idea who you are yet). Authors of the stories who have yet to be claimed, I am still searching for new more reliable artists to pick between your stories. And if that fails I will do as promised and learn to make art for you :) your stories are wonderful, truly. If you have questions, please feel free to send an ask. Or even send me an email at the submission email. I will answer you as soon as I possibly can.
