Box of Tricks

Allo, there! :waves:

I looked at the calendar last night, thinking, "there was something I was supposed to do"... And then eureka! I remembered!

Yes, I need to talk to you folks. About a little thing called the Big Bang. And I have failed. Miserably. :-(


So, though: how's it going? Everyone finished? Okay, then! Let's figure out the posting and get to it!

Or, back on Planet Earth: like me, you've gotten through a few scenes and realized just how hopeless complicated this whole BB thing is. And you're doing research and have no clue how all of this is going to fit together. (Wah.)

So, do tell us: where are you at? Do you know where you're going to? Do you like the things that life is showing you... where are you going to?

Do you know?

About your BB, of course. ;-)

Hi-ho, Big Bangers! Time for the weekly check in.

First, a reminder: writers' signups are still open until the end of the month (so click on that link). Now's the time to strap on your pen (or computer, as the case may be) and let that story of lads averting a terrorist-led planned devastation... or going undercover to find Bodie's heretofore unknown great-aunt, head of a crime syndicate... or crossing paths in the hold of a convict ship bound for Australia... and defying the Cow (as always)... rise to the surface and see the light of day. There's always room for more!

You'll get one more reminder (so my crystal ball tells me); but why delay? The month's almost over and the lads are ready and waiting. And Bodie's hungry, so bring plenty of Swiss roll.

If you're not up for punishment writing this year, you can always volunteer to beta-edit and/or cheerlead. These roles are really the unsung heroes of the BB: they may not seem like much, but a little word of encouragement or some advice on that line that is causing a writer to doubt her sanity can make a huge difference. So don't be shy, sign up now.

(Artists: not quite yet, but we're coming for you soon enough. ;-))

And for those of you who have already taken the plunge (or heck, anyone interested in the plunge): how's it going? Are B&D still at the just-met, can't-stand-each-other phase? Did Bodie steal a kiss when Doyle was distracted? Or are you just liberally inserting Sex Scene Here markers throughout your text? (One can hope.) Do tell!
