Small Fandoms Bang

Hello, everyone! I can't believe that we're nearing September 1st already (just over two weeks away!) and that we'll be starting our NINTH round of Small Fandoms Bang! I wanted to let everyone know for sure that we're a go this year, and reiterate the most important dates for the next couple of months:

Sept 1: Author Sign-Ups Open
Nov 1: Artist Sign-Ups Open (And First Author Check-In)

---

Move to DW: To make things easier for the mods we will be moving the SFBB to our DW community exclusively when this next round opens. This does not mean that you can only participate if you have a DW account. We currently encourage people to participate from many different platforms using OpenID and that will continue.

To be clear: If you don't have a DW account you may comment to the sign-up post(s), check-in posts, etc and also post your fic/art announcements to the community with OpenID. So whether you participate from LJ or Tumblr or someplace else, you are still welcome and able to play in this small fandom sandbox, and I sincerely and wholeheartedly hope that you will continue to do so.

---

If you have any comments about the last round, or questions/suggestions for the coming round, please feel free to leave them in a reply to this post. (Comments will be screened.)

If you'd like to pimp us out before we go live, just c&p the text from the textbox to share this banner:



The 10,000-word big bang for small fandoms is coming soon!
Author Sign-Ups Open Sept 1 | Artist Sign-Ups Open Nov 1



Thank you!

Our eighth round at smallfandombang has come to an end! I’d like to thank everyone who participated this year and helped make this round a huge success. Whether you were an author or an artist, a beta or a cheerleader, or a someone who left a comment, your participation is appreciated.

In particular I’d like to thank the several artists who stepped up and took on the task of creating artwork for more than one story, and especially those artists who took chances on fandoms they weren’t familiar with. You have my heartfelt thanks.

For those keeping track, we had 16 stories and/or art created in 18 different fandoms (including crossovers) this round! Beneath the cut you’ll find links to all the stories and accompanying artwork. If you haven’t already checked them out, enjoy! *g*

Participation Banners will be coming soon!

We’ll be holding a ninth round in the fall, so please continue to watch the community or check back for more information. Thanks again!

In other news, our sister community Small Fandoms Fest on DW has opened its twenty-fifth round with a call for prompt submissions! If you want to write more in your favorite small fandoms (but maybe not 10,000+ words *g*), check it out!

The ‘official’ posting period for Round Eight is now closed. My deepest thanks to everyone who participated in this round.

For the authors and artists who were unable to make their posting date, the Amnesty posting period has opened.

If you contacted me about being unable to make your original posting date, please feel free to post your fic or art to the community any time during Amnesty Week.

If you have not contacted me, please do so at sfbbmod @ gmail.com before you post.

Thank you!

Summary: Never before has Bravo Team accept a rookie and such a young one into their Tier One DEVGRU SEAL Team. That’s until Clay Spenser comes through the ranks of Green Team. He is over confident – even cocky, has a chip on his shoulder, and regarded as Special Ops Royalty.
But he also has talent, is loyal and not scared to get into the thick of things to get the job done. He asks questions, never takes no for an answer, and keeps them all on their toes.
While deployed in Afghanistan, Clay catches the eye of a man they had no knowledge of. A man who forms part of the Bacha bāzī syndicate.
When Clay gets taken, they are in a war-stricken country and have no idea on where to look for him. Every lead they get turns into nothing, until they finally get a break. Now, they have to get their brother back and deal with those who took him from them. Bloodshed will happen and they didn’t give a damn.
