Magnificent Seven Big Bang

[valiha]

This is something I should have done as soon as the posting for the first Magnificent Seven Big Bang started, but I've been too busy with work and the comm to do so.

I hereby announce that mag7bigbang is now posting fiction and art written and created in the Magnificent Seven fandom, in different AUs: Old West, ATF, and Star Trek universes. Both the authors and the artists did a great job, and I hope we'll be able to hold this Big Bang again next year. I also hope we'll have many more participants next year. Enjoy!

I'm enjoying it! Yay you for modding - I hope Mag7 BB goes from strength to strength :D

:blushes: Thank you! I haven't really done that much - sparrowsverse did most of the work, I just helped. And her uncle passed away just a day before the posting was supposed to start, so you can imagine how she feels. I'm just here to help out while she deals with family affairs.

Gah! Apparently I need to spend more time on LJ comms because I didn't even know there WAS a Mag7 BB until I noticed some fic recs being pimped over on DW! But it's nice to see it! :)

Can I entice you to take part in it next year? :tries to hypnotize you:

Also, there's a DW version of 7men1destiny and I could use some challenges over there. There's a Nathan-centered medical mystery challenge I'd die to read. ♥

I try to never say never but I also get myself in trouble by constantly biting off more than I can chew!

But that's an awesome challenge! This isn't the same thing and it's not even a murder mystery but right away it made me think of some of the radical Christian families who refuse to take their very ill children to the doctor because if God wills them to die, then they will, end of story. And some of them believe in putting their children within striking distance of poisonous snakes because of something in the bible about power over 'serpents.' I can only imagine Nathan's helplessness and Chris' anger about needlessly letting your own child die and what about Josiah and his respect for other faiths? It's much less black and white but I do love grey areas and oh this is bad. I don't need to be thinking about this right now, ack!

Sorry! :D But oh yeah I'd be all over that idea too! *grabby hands* I saw some documentaries about that on National geographic and I was appalled. I come from a culture that's so focused on cleanliness (just the fact that you must perform ablutions before each of the five daily prayers should clue you in to that fact) and health that something like that is totally alien to me.

And feel free to post that as a challenge if you don't feel like writing it yourself. Can't guarantee that it will be picked up cause I need to pimp the comm more, but am reluctant to do it on any of the DW comms. Feels too much like trying to butt in.

I can totally relate to biting off more that one can chew, cause I've been flopping about like a fish out of water because I took on too many projects at the same time. And we still have a major test to write for our students - oh God! O_O
