Summary:
Tyler Joseph is a busy nursing student who works at a coffee shop with his best friends, Jenna and Brendon. He doesn’t have the time to go out and party, let alone date, a fact that neither of them will let him forget, but he’s comfortable (though a little bored) with how his life is going.

Enter cute, punk customer Josh Dun. He’s a drummer with a ridiculous coffee order who becomes fast friends with the whole bandom crew. But he can’t be seriously flirting with Tyler, right?

Title: [Podfic] Half of Something Else
Format: podfic
Bands: MCR
Pairings: Frank Iero/Gerard Way/Grant Morrison
Size: 284 MB (mp3) | 92 MB (m4b)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: none
Summary:

Frank left New Jersey for LA because of music, and staying was always just a means to an end. He never anticipated that the industry where he'd get his foot in the door would be comics, or that he'd be working as the one and only Grant Morrison's personal assistant.

Comic artist Gerard Way is both a reminder of the place he left behind and a chance for something more.

Problem is, Frank has started to see Grant as much more than just a boss…

Title: you’re never gonna fit in much kid :
Format: fic
Bands: Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance
Pairings: Gerard/Pete
Size: 20,317 words
Rating: Mature
Warnings: referenced dub-con, referenced child neglect/abuse, implied age difference, mental health issues, past drug and alcohol abuse
Summary:
Gerard Way is twenty-eight and learning to become a functional adult when he accidentally makes a bet with the Universe on Warped Tour. Now he’s stuck in an alternate universe, in the body of his either year old self and the only way to return home is to befriend Pete Wentz. Unfortunately, his tiny crush on Pete isn’t helping either. Tiny might be a bit of an understatement but Gerard’s too old for self denial, right? Or at least, he was.

This is your last reminder: primary and complement fanworks are due September 10th, 2016. Count down clock is here.

Once all fanworks are accounted for, posting dates will be emailed to participants. Posting will take place from September 12th through September 19th. If there are any dates you will not be able to post on, please include those dates with your final draft.

If you are having any issues, please contact the mods right away.

You don't have to wait until the deadline to turn in your fanwork - submission guidelines are under the cut.

Good luck, everyone!

( Submitting your final fanwork )

We are down to six unclaimed summaries, and it's been a little more than a week since claims have been opened. If you haven't already signed up to participate, you can do so here. Rules are here, summary claims can be found here.

Here's the thing. If we can't get people to claim the remaining summaries so that all the primary fanworks have complement creators, the chances of Bandom Big Bang 2017 happening are going to evaporate.

We understand that not everyone has the time, talent, or energy to actually participate as a creator, but at the same time, we've seen very little in the way of reblogging, retweeting, or signal boosting BBB content.

Maybe it's time to call it quits. We love bandom, love seeing the creativity from the people in fandom, but maybe it's time to move on.

What do you think?

bbb_mod

Read the rules.
If you haven't signed up to be a complement creator, please do so here.
Claiming is first come, first served. No take backs!
Cut and paste the following into a comment:
User name: Claiming summary # What kind of fanwork do you think you will create?
Once all primary fanworks are claimed, we will open claims for a second round of claims.
Mods will reply confirming your claim or asking you to choose again.
Remember that complements can not be of the same format as the primary. So if the primary is a fic, you cannot write a fic - you must create something in a different format.
Drafts will be sent out over the next several days via e-mail. Please wait 72 hours before contacting us because you are missing a draft. It takes time to coordinate this!
Finished fanworks are due September 10th, 2016.
You are welcome to claim a second summary once you have completed your original assignment and it has been accepted by the mods.
GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN.

( ready, set, go! )

Okay, today is June 17th, and rough drafts are due today.

As long as it's the 17th somewhere in the world, you're still good. So you've got a little more than 20 hours to turn your fanwork in. Click here to see how much time remains.

I will note that this mod is going to their first show (Against Me!) in their new location tonight, and won't be dealing with any BBB stuff until late Saturday morning at the earliest, so...take that for what you will.

If you have questions, comments, concerns, etc, email the mods asap.

Good luck.

Okay, for those of you who are awesome and have stayed on track and are ready to turn in your draft, instructions are under the cut. *twirls you* Seriously, you are amazing. You can turn in your draft anytime between now and the deadline.

For the rest of you, who are also awesome, would a week's extension help? I know a lot of people (including this mod) are not ready for the deadline and a week might make the different between submitting a fanwork and not.

We'd much rather have more fanworks.

So, new deadline is June 17th. As long as it's still June 17th somewhere in the world, your fanwork is not late. If you have questions or concerns about whether your fanwork will meet the definition of 80% complete, please contact the mods asap.

Questions? Comments? You know where to leave 'em.

Wow, we've had a great turn out so far, it's been lovely seeing some familiar names, as well as new ones. Hello, everyone!

Once you confirm your email, you'll be sent a link to a small survey to see what kind of support you want and need from the community to get your Big Bang project done.

One of the things we're looking at doing is a weekly post for cheering/checking in/inspiration/venting/etc, mostly likely on DW and mirrored on Tumblr. If you are interested in "hosting" one of these check in posts, please email the mods.

Sign ups will continue to be open, and in the meantime, let's get going!
