Please help spread the word by reblogging/retweeting/reccing the master posts and/or individual fanworks. Also, please take the time to comment or kudos the fanworks (on AO3 or Tumblr).

The creators have worked very hard to get everything done, and they deserve to be acknowledged for it.

ALL PRIMARY AND COMPLEMENT FANWORKS ARE DUE OCTOBER 1ST

As long as it's still October 1st somewhere in the world, you are still on time.

Here is a countdown for you.

Remember that you will have from the time you submit until your posting date to make any final tweaks to your work.

When both the primary and complement final drafts have been turned in, the mods will send you an email with your posting date. PLEASE REMEMBER TO CONFIRM THAT THE DATE WORKS FOR BOTH THE PRIMARY AND COMPLEMENT CREATOR ASAP

Please email the mods if you have questions or problems. Good luck!

Emails have been sent out to all participants! Please make sure you respond asap.

If you have questions/concerns, please emails the mods!

*cheers everyone on*

There are still three summaries that need to have complement creators. If you are interested, or if you know of someone who is, please go here to claim a summary. And please help spread the word; we don't want these summaries to be without complements. \o/

#06

Media type: fic
Bands: My Chemical Romance
Relationships: Frank Iero/Ray Toro/Mikey Way/Gerard Way and all possible combinations thereof
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: Foursome m/m/m/m, Something Made Them Do It, Dubious Consent, Mpreg, Alternate Universe: Everyone Lives/No-one Dies, Sibling Incest, angst with a happy ending
Summary: [Danger Days: True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys (based on music videos rather than comics)] An ordinary skirmish in the desert with dracs leads to Frank taking the brunt of a new weapon - and ends with him pregnant, furious, and freaking out. When the shit hits the fan and he gets kidnapped and taken back for interrogation by Korse, and forced to listen to the contents of the Traffic Report, something in him snaps. This fucking dystopia has gone on too long.

#13

Media type: podfic
Bands: My Chemical Romance
Relationships: Frank Iero/Gerard Way (side pairing Alicia Simmons/Mikey Way)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: brief references to past alcohol abuse
Summary: While on tour, everyone in the band except Frank mysteriously turns into a girl. Gerard uses the opportunity to get into Frank's pants; Alicia does the same with Mikey.

#20

Media type: fic
Bands: My Chemical Romance, Mindless Self Indulgence
Relationships: Frank Iero/Gerard Way, Lindsey Ballato/Frank Iero/Gerard Way
Rating: Teen to Mature
Warnings: violence; character death; suicide (minor character, off-screen).
Summary: Western genre, set in the 1890s American West. Gunfights! Desert pursuit! Horses and pistols! Vendettas! Frank and Gerard made it through their first cattle drive together, but now Frank is gone and Gerard doesn’t know what to do. All he knows is that it has something to do with the preacher man. Turns out, Lindsey is looking for the preacher man too, but she won’t say why. Gerard has reasons enough to hate the man, but Lindsey has more—reasons that stretch back into her family, her childhood, and what brought her out west in the first place. Like the hero of any Western story, she wants revenge. Ray is a New Mexico lawman who has to decide what to do with Lindsey’s quest, and whether to allow her to bring vigilante justice to his ranching town.

Claiming for complement creators starts at 12 noon EDT (UTC-4) on Friday, July 7th, 2017.

Here's a countdown until the claims open.

This year, we had 22 fanworks submitted. 20 are fics, 2 are podfics. Sadly, we had no submissions of art, mixes, or vids.

Here's a quick overview of the rules for claiming:

• 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!
  
• 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 October 1st, 2017.
  
• You are welcome to claim a second summary once you have completed your original assignment and it has been accepted by the mods.
  

Hey everyone!

There was enough of a positive response to the idea of pushing the due date for everything back by a month, so it's official!

Primary claims period: July 7th - July 14th

I know a few people will be affected negatively by this change; if you are one of them, please email the mods so we can try to work something out with you.

Good luck, everyone!
