Friending Meme!

[bbb_mod]

tl;dr friending memes are a good way to make new friends, but also help develop creative relationships with people who will keep you focused on your Bandom Big Bang fanwork.

Important things to remember:

•You don't have to have a DW to participate - just comment anonymously.
•You don't have to be signed up as a fanwork creator to participate.
•The official BBB Tumblr (bandombb) and Twitter (bandombigbang) are only for announcements, but there is an inspirational Tumblr that you can contribute to at any time by joining the bbb-network.
•If you are signed up as a fanwork creator, you can opt to be poked and prodded by mod email.



The mods' collective excitement about this year's Bandom Big Bang is mega-intense! We're definitely thrilled to see people returning to participate and equally as happy for all of the first timers as well.

One of the best ways to make sure you get to the finish line is to have a lot of support. Cheerleaders, productivity partners, and betas all help keep you focused on the finish line. And it might feel like it's a little early in the game to be recruiting minions friends, it really isn't.

So look at the people in your life, figure out who has the time to help you out. Who's gonna text you every few days to see how your fanwork's going? Who's gonna help you brainstorm your fanwork or do productivity sprints with you? Who's going to beta your fanwork?

Friending memes are a great way to meet new friends that share a fandom, but it's also a great place to offer your services as a minion, or to ask for people to volunteer to be a minion. So, here is one to get you started. (Full disclosure: we've adapted the friending meme from the the_neverenders comm.)

My favorite people in these bands are: You're asking me to choose between my CHILDREN but ... I guess I like writing from the POV of Ray best? That's the only way of discerning that I have.
Relationships I ship within these bands are: Anyone/Anyone in MCR, seriously. The second I specify a pairing as being one I don't like my asshole brain decides to give me a plotbunny about it.

I am willing to be a minion! (specify type): I'll cheerlead, talk over ideas, beta, anything really. I want to get involved!
I am in need of a minion! (specify type): I suppose someone to bounce ideas off of? I get caught places and would like someone to reassure me that my ideas don't suck. And also someone to poke me and make sure that I'm actually writing (I tend to let things sit for too long sometimes!).

A random fact about myself: I've never done BBB before and I'm relatively new to bandom (just over a year now, ish) so I don't know what I'm doing (at all, someone help me) and am crazy nervous, but also very excited! :)

I am willing to be a minion! (specify type):1000% free to beta, idea-bounce, cheerlead, anything!!
I am in need of a minion! (specify type):i would love to have some friends in this community to bounce ideas off of and discuss with and be cheerleaded.. positive feedback really keeps me going and i hate reading really good fics that are unfinished and abandoned and i DEFINITELY don't wanna be That Guy, y'know? i am relatively new to the writing/creating aspect of this community but i've been reading for years. i'm pretty new to ao3 and basically brand-spanking-new to dreamwidth so if u are my friend here i will probably love you forever <3

Relationships I ship within these bands are: Patroh (Patrick Stump / Joe Trohman) is the only one I write or read. I'm very wedded to my OTP.

I am willing to be a minion! (specify type): I'm assuming this means betaing - I will gladly beta unporny things, but I don't have a heavy investment outside of FOB, so my efforts may need to focus on the skill rather than the characterisation. :)
I am in need of a minion! (specify type): I have a few, but I'm always glad to talk to people about fandom!

A random fact about myself: It took me two years to realise that my car wasn't trying to stall every time I pulled into my street, but that we in fact have rumble strips across the front of the junction. :\

I'm honestly not into getting into discourse, these days, but I'm always happy to chat. Feel free to DM me, anytime.

A random fact about myself: I've accidentally tripped and fallen head first into One Direction fandom, so that's just about the only thing I think about 24/7 now. It's the literal worst.

I am willing to be a minion! (specify type): I'm a pretty good listener, and I'd be willing to poke/cheerlead/be a sounding board, with the caveat that I'm not familiar with the killjoys-verse. I probably won't have time to be a real beta, but I can help with SPAG and Ameripicking.
I am in need of a minion! (specify type): someone to bounce ideas off of/chat with/gnash teeth with. I would also be up for productivity sprints and nudges and things. I'm new to the fandom, so I may need help with details and fact checking. I'll also need a beta at some point.

A random fact about myself: I did this backwards and came to bandom from hockey fandom.
My hope for BBB is: to write something long enough to count as slow burn, with as many self-indulgent tropes as possible

[akamine_chan]

I won't have a lot of time for actual betaing, but I'm more than willing to do sprints/nudges and bandom canon fact/detail checking.

My contributions to fandom include (reading, writing, art, podfic, etc): writing, reccing, reading mostly.
Link to my masterlist: I don't have any work in english. Yet. Perhaps someday.

I am a fan of these bands: Fall Out Boy mostly. But also My Chemical Romance, Panic! At The Disco, twenty one pilots, G-Way's solo stuffs. I'm kinda new here, so, um.
My favorite people in these bands are: Patrick!! You will find I talk about Patrick a lot. And by a lot I really mean all the time. I like the rest of the boys equally.
Relationships I ship within these bands are: I'm a huuugeee Peterick trash, so there's that. But I'm really open to every pairing ever. Except petekey, maybe, for some reasons. I just like Pete with Gee a lot more. (And I secretly ship Gerard with Brendon because, hello? Cuties? This ship is so underrated.)

I am willing to be a minion! (specify type): I can poke and bounce ideas. And cheerlead. And listen, too.
I am in need of a minion! (specify type): ... I just want some friends, ehehe.

My pronouns are: she/her

My contributions to fandom include (reading, writing, art, podfic, etc): Fic primarily. Also I wrote a book about fanfiction (I'm a lecturer in media studies) and made an argument against people quoting fanfic outside fandom without asking permission, which I think is important.
Link to my masterlist: http://archiveofourown.org/users/reading_is_in

I am a fan of these bands: FOB, MCR, Panic, Cobra, TIA
My favorite people in these bands are: Pete and Patrick, the Ways, Ray Toro, Gabe Saporta, Sisky, Beckett, IDK I love them don't make me choose (I have a huge soft spot for Pete Wentz though)
Relationships I ship within these bands are: Peterick is important to my happiness

I am willing to be a minion! (specify type): cheerleading, SPAG, betaing
I am in need of a minion! (specify type): Any is good with me.

A random fact about myself: I loved fanfic so much I managed to make it part of my career, which is brilliant but has no job security. I don't know how this happened. I didn't plan it. On paper I look pretty accomplished but the truth is my life feels kind of happenstance and I am literally making this shit up as I go along. That may have been more of a fact than you wanted.

My contributions to fandom include (reading, writing, art, podfic, etc): I draw stuff, and sometimes, I write stuff, I guess.
Link to my masterlist: I don't have any tbh? Just check the tumblr/AO3 stuff, it's literally the only sites I use anyway...


I am a fan of these bands: Bandom-related, nowadays I listen mostly to FOB and a bit of MCR. Also liked Patrick's solo album a lot. (Not related, but always important is my slight obsession with Mr. Steve Morrissey.)
My favorite people in these bands are: Oh my God, I can't pick a favorite. I can't even pick a favorite color, how am I suppose to choose a favorite band member? I love all of them.
Relationships I ship within these bands are: I am pure Peterick trash, sorry. Once in a while, I read some Frerard, or some more obscure pairings, but this is my main ship.


I am willing to be a minion! (specify type): Hm, I'm a good listener and I love to talk/bounce back ideas! If you want to ramble, or have someone type out way too long comments on your writings, I am more than fine with that. I'd also love to find more people who create artwork to talk to!
I am in need of a minion! (specify type): I'd just love to find more artists, even better if they can stomach me being angsty and insecure about my own work. Sometimes, I just need to be pushed a little.


A random fact about myself: I'm pretty much 80% angst, sorry. ;_; Also, despite being in a fandom about bands, I am shockingly tone-deaf and unmusical myself, oops...
My hope for BBB is: Deliver good work, and hopefully make someone at least a tiny bit happier through my art.
