#mebb

Hey there, Commanders and Pathfinders. We've been in an information blackout as admins have been dealing with Real Life Fuckwittery, and for that we apologize. That being said, the Big Bang is still going to happen! Mark your omni-tools:

It's a bit short notice, but we didn't want to overlap with holiday plans for posting.

If you didn't see the discord post, we do have two themes/prompts you can use as a launch pad, but you definitely don't have to follow them if you don't want to; they're simply there to sparks some ideas.

theme/prompt 1: Incorporate a trade you either wish you had, or you might have studied for when young but never finished. (example: I personally wanted to me a mortician, and started to study for that - but never finished because - well, life happened - ironic really. So I could write a story about a mortician in any setting my little brain could conjure up.)

theme/prompt 2: We all have that story we sorta wish we had written a sequel or a prequel to - so this prompt is for you. Write a sequel to a story you wrote at least one year ago. If it is not in the mass effect universe, you can do a crossover if you want to - all bets off really. (example: I wrote a mebb entry like 7 years ago, and I did start on a sequel but never finished that sequel - perhaps this is the opportunity I need to do that.

Please remember we have a twitter and a facebook, which you can follow and check for info and updates. The official wordpress post is here, as well.

My entry for MEBB 2025. Collab with @mcgeeki .

Summary: After two years of silence, Shepard finds herself caught between Cerberus orders, Miranda’s scrutiny, and her own doubts. But nothing tests her resolve more than Horizon — and the ghosts it awakens.

My piece for @mebigbang where I got paired with the lovely @setphaserstofandom. It's a time-loop piece, allowing for so many small snippets that I loved, that I decided to just... draw all of them into one piece. Do give it a read!

Super bare mini-drawings under the cut:

Aaaand we're live! Go read my new fic "Dead and Buried" where my favorite (aka James Vega) is sent on a secret mission by Admiral "Do you have a minute" Hackett, to find out why the remaining Cerberus forces are so interested in an abandoned mining colony three years after the war ended. Rated Explicit, about 18k long, with art by the awesome @keriweird!

I had the distinct pleasure of working with @unfair-water-plane on the cover of their MEBB story "Fly Away Home" (I got to read it early ;p)

A very Moshang day to you!

My two illustrations for @moshangevents' Big Bang, in pair with my partner, Baiwuzhi's fantastic fanfiction. You can find her on twitter

I am thrilled to share my new fic with you, made for the 2022 Mass Effect Big Bang!

Summary: A super massive vessel appears at the edge of known space, offering advanced technologies in exchange for emergency aid... but the data proves harder to retrieve than anyone could have expected. While deep in the digital world of the alien servers, a multinational tactical group gets more than they bargained for when a virus turns reality into fairy tale.
