We're back! The Fourth Professionals Big Bang!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

The Professionals Fourth Big Bang Challenge is hereby official. *cuts ribbon* Yes, we're doing this again! We love insane creative challenges and we know all of you do also. This year's mods will be yours truly, draycevixen, saintvic, norfolkdumpling and sineala.

I'd like to take a moment to send out a huge thank you to our founding moderators, przed and callistosh65. Aliens RL commitments have taken over our dear friends and they'll be watching this year's doings from behind a protective wall. Really, they were both super mods for several years now and are taking a well deserved vacation. Thanks, Zed and Callisto. Love you both!

2012 gave us 19 stories. That's 678,220 words of new Pros fic, along with accompanying art. How cool is that!

Keep your eyes open for upcoming announcements and do spread the word that there will be a Big Bang in 2013.

Thank you!

Fantastic! Great to know you five are still on the case, and fond farewells to Zed and Callisto ♥

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

We're still here. Zed and Callisto will be supportive and still be around to thump any of us who steps out of line. *beg*

[shooting2kill.livejournal.com]

Blimey! Where did the time go? Good news, though.

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

I know! It's scary how quickly the year passed by. Thanks!

[golden-bastet.livejournal.com]

Already?! but we just finished - and I haven't read all of 2012 yet...

Not that I'm complaining - oh, NO: there is always a place for new Pros in the world. ;D

And okay, I *do* have a nascent plot bunny in my head, LOL.

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, plot bunnies are good.

And do read fic from 2012 and any others you've missed. There's great stuff in them words. :)

[snailbones.livejournal.com]

That's brilliant news - yay! My pompoms are freshly back from the laundromat, squeaky clean and as perky as can be *\o/*

Thanks for being daft brave wonderful enough to organise it again this year, and big fond kisses to Callisto and Zed.

Okay, better go finish reading 2012's now - oops, where does the time go?

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Yay for freshly pressed pompoms! Woot!

[snailbones.livejournal.com]

I do like them with nice sharp creases and smelling of lavender *g*

::lays garlands at the feet of all those lovely mods:: Zed and I are leaving it in very capable hands, and we will still be here with pom-poms aplenty.

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

I know you'll watch from near and far upon our efforts and cheer us on. Plus there's plenty of room for authors whom I enjoy (hint) and artists to drool over.

I was feeling a bit at loose ends after all the Pro's stories an artwork we had for the holidays and then not having anything to look forward to for the next couple months and BAM! Here's the 2013 Big Bang! Just what the doctor ordered. Thanks to przed and callistosh65 for all their hard work in previous years and a big THANK YOU to this years mods for taking this on again! Off to the closet to dust off some plot bunnies...

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Yay to dusting off plot bunnies. They do best with fresh air and love.

[saintvic.livejournal.com]

It is bloody brilliant to be back *happy dance*

Oh and massive hugs to Zed and Callisto.

♥

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

It is! *dances with v*

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm so happy. Just yesterday I was thinking, I wonder when the announcement for the new Big Bang will be. Cause--I'm already 7 pages in on a story. It's a start...

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool. I've started mine also because if this puppy won't piddle on its papers, I'm sending it to the backyard.

[snailbones.livejournal.com]

I just hurt myself laughing I'll have you know!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Poor wubbie! Don't hurt yourself. I need those bits for other things.

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

I'm always so impressed how you can pound out a whole story so fast and then have it edited for content--it's been a struggle to get out these (now) 8 pages in the last few weeks. Gah!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

You might not be so impressed if and when I get this one pounded out. I'm working on it! Hide now. LOL!

[ladyhawke2.livejournal.com]

*buys new pompoms*

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Those are gorgeous pompoms. The colour looks good on you. *bg*

[lillianorchid.livejournal.com]

Yay!! :D *\o/*

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

I agree. :)

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

[przed.livejournal.com]

Yeah for the challenge being back! Big hugs to all of you for continuing the tradition in fabulous fashion. I shall enjoy watching from the other side of the curtain, with poms poms at the ready!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Thanks for everything! We're glad to watch you shake those pompoms. And get to writing!

[przed.livejournal.com]

I'm still not sure if I'm going to sign up this year (I have only the vaguest idea of what I might write) but I'll definitely still be shaking those pom poms.

[bodiecuddle.livejournal.com]
