SHL BIG BANG 2021 - COMPILATION POST

Hello! We have reached the end of this Big Bang. We would like to thank all participants, including those who weren’t able to make it to the end. You’ve all done an incredible job and it was amazing to work with you all! Thank you as well to everyone who has been reblogging and liking our participants fic and art!

Below the cut is a compilation of every fic and accompanying art, with the names of the writer, artist(s) and beta reader. Some sections will have only art or only fic; this is for cases where a member of the team dropped out, but the remaining participant still wanted to publish their piece as a Big Bang piece.

He’s dressed in a blue outfit, and the wind is pushing his sidebangs away from his face. The background is blurred greenery. In the top right of the picture, a blue, semi opaque rectangle reads “SHL Big Bang 2021, Posting starts!”

Hello!

A large path goes through the trees, and Zhang Chengling, Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing are walking it together side by side, their backs to the viewer, looking ahead at where Siji Manor is.

The viewing period is starting!

It’s a time for artists and betas to look through all the fics that are being written and think about which ones they’d like to work with.

Betas can view a gallery of the outlines here.

Artists can view a gallery of the outlines here.

The outlines will have tags attached, as well as expected wordcount and rating, and some notes for artists/betas. Take your time going through them, and be mindful of the notes that are related to your role!

Hello!

After receiving most of the check in response, we have decided to extend the schedule by one week. The new schedule can be found here: https://shlbigbang.carrd.co/#schedule. It is as follow:

- September 18th: fifth check-in, assignment to pinch hitters in necessary cases. You should be about ¾ done with your fic/art. Don’t forget to take into account editing and finishing touches in your planning!

- September 27th, 10am: start of posting date claiming! Lasts one week. Agree with your partners on when and how to post and link your works, contact mods for any last questions and problems you encounter.

- October 3rd, 10pm: end of posting date claiming.

- October 9th: sixth and last check-in. Participants should be almost done.

- October 25th: start of posting! Lasts one week. Link mods to your work when you have posted it, and let them know how you would like to be credited on the final post compiling all works for the Bang.

- October 31st: end of posting!

- November 14th (subject to change): end of posting for people with extensions!

- November 21st (subject to change): last post compiling all works for the Bang!

The last two dates are subject to change depending on the length of people’s extensions.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to send an ask or DM us on your platform of choice!

All the fics have now been claimed by artists. HOWEVER if you're an artist who hasn't claimed yet, we are opening fics up for a second round of claims by artists who have not claimed, or whose claims did not go through! This means that as an artist, if you haven’t claimed yet and are happy working with another artist, you can submit your claims as you would have normally. Claims are still first-come first-serve, so please do submit your claims as soon as you can. And if you are a writer, you might get two artists to work with!

All artists who have yet to claim have been contacted, but if you haven't heard from us and think you should have, or are struggling with your claim, please get in touch.

You should have received a message or email with the link to the gallery and to the claiming form; you can use those!

In the background, blurred people are fighting. In the top right corner, a semi-opaque, green rectangle lined with red reads “SHL Big Bang 2021, Outline submissions closed”.

Our outline submissions for writers are closed!

If you submitted, congrats and thank you! If you haven’t but still wish to participate in the Big Bang, contact us as soon as possible, here or on Twitter or Discord, and we will record your late entry.

They’re both wearing white inner robes and looking at each other, a distraught expression on their faces. There is a candle burning next to Zhou Zishu; the lighting is fairly dim. In the bottom center at the foreground, a white, semi-opaque rectangle reads ‘SHL Big Bang 2021, Second check in’.

It’s time for our second check-in!

Hello!

It’s almost time - our talented artists and writers are going to start posting on Monday October 25th!!!!

For a variety of reasons, teams ended up with different schedules, and posting will be spread over several weeks - starting this Monday (!) until November 28th. That means a steady stream of new fic and art for the next month for all of us, which is amazing!

We will reblog what artists and writers post on this account each day, so if you keep an eye on this blog you won’t miss anything! But if you do, don’t worry: we’ll compile everyone’s work after the end of the posting period!
