Best Enemies

A round up of universal proportions!


MODLY NOTES:

1. Cold Comfort for Change has BUT ONE PIECE OF FANART! Both the regular artist and the pinch hitter for the second fell through. Will no one help a sistah out? WHAT ABOUT A BROTHER?! Seriously it's a good fic and deserves its second illustration. Have you considered devoting half an hour of your life to Bringing Another Joy and Generally Being Awesome? This could be your opportunity!!

2. This is a quick 'y'all know how to act' point. Say there's a big challenge that takes AGES to organize and chase people up on and such like. If you do art on an assignment for that challenge, I am WELL GRATEFUL. But please reward that effort/share with others by posting your response here, on the com that is running the challenge? Not a big deal, but y'know, be cool, team.

FICS AND ASSOCIATED ART:

Like Old Times , by tierfal
Summary: The Master breaks things in the TARDIS until the Doctor almost goes insane, then they end up in the Vivarium, and then all hell breaks loose. The Doctor is not liking any of this – and while he's at it, the dream-flashback-things really, really need to stop.

Stitching the Wounds , by blackletter
Summary: The Doctor and the Master work together to avert mutual and universal destruction. (Oh, look, it's a Three Era plot!) Only the Doctor is the Valeyard and the threat to the universe is himself.

Cold Comfort for Change , by birdsarecalling
Summary: In a universe where the Master works for the Celestial Intervention Agency, the Doctor inevitably finds himself on the wrong side of the law.

So Far Exceeds Expression , by neveralarch
Summary: The Doctor lands in 1671, and meets an old friend. Unfortunately that old friend has a plan, and he's never been very good at them. Worse, the military is kind of... disappearing.

Like it's 1999 , by doctor_caduceus
Summary: The Face of Boe has different last words for the Doctor which will lead him into the world of a young man in Cardiff at the end of the 20th Century.

Variations on Forever , by janeturenne
Summary: Some things are fixed. Some things can be changed. But the true nature of permanence isn't an easy lesson, even for a pair of Time Lords. A Master-POV take on the first fifteen hundred years of their lives—together, apart, and every state in between.

Please check your PMs (and, in one case, the last post about this), pinch hitters, because the game is totes afoot. Please CONFIRM OR DENY your assignments, so I know where we are. Let's get these home for Christmas!

All Big Bang Artists: Please post your art to the com, as it is a com-organized challenge, and if it's not here, people might not know it exists.

For no-shame, legit RL reasons, we're had three Big Bang Artists default on four assignments. One is Classic, three are New Who (two for the same fic). I know we had two valiant artists offer to pinch-hit, but that was a month ago, and this is rather a lot of work. If you're still available/didn't sign up originally but might like to give it a go, please comment and tell me:

1) whether you can do classic, new, or both, and
2) one piece, two, or more

and I'll give you an assignment. Thanks SO much in advance.

With about a week left until the end of the Big Bang Art Period, now is the time to:

* get busy if you haven't,
* POST NOW if you have, and
* generally let me know via PM if something is up and you won't be able to make it in with your art piece(s) for any reason.

If you're trying for a late submission, please also get posting. Parts will do, the whole is not necessary--as long as you tell me it'll be about Big Bang length by the month's end, I'll take your word for it. This way I can get some idea of how much fan-art I'm trying to get a hold of.

Way back in June, I called for Big Bang Artists. Now I need to know if you're still willing, or, if you didn't sign up then, if you'd like to now! There are about six fics what need illustrations, some classic, some new and some mixed. I'm happy to assign double-illustrations to the same fic, should we enjoy such a bounty of illustrators/illustrators willing to do two things.

I'm afraid your You Should Knows and your one-piece-or-twos may have changed in the intervening months, or you may never have told me them, so PLEASE tell me below, and I can get on assigning. Yay!

Once more, with feeling:

Artists:

* Artists will have one month to do their Thang (November 3rd--December 3rd). They can post when they like, and I'll do a round-up post at the month's end.
* If you're interested, I need you to comment below! Tell me If you'd like to do one piece or two, and if you can pinch-hit should someone have to drop out.
* Also let me know anything I SHOULD know. Shit like: 'I've only seen New Who,' 'I'd prefer to work with classic,' 'If I have to illustrate a fic with non-con it it I will throw up on you,' 'if I have to illustrate a fic in which Jack and Ianto shag the drums out of Simm!Master while Ten Morris Dances around the trio, weeping softly, I will throw up on EVERYTHING.' Help me to help you! I wanna match you with something you will DELIGHT in arting! A fic that makes you wanna Morris Dance around your computer. Weeping softly.
