BigBang, author's notes, what have you

[ratherastory]

Okay, flist, I have a question.

Do you read the Author's Notes when they post them separately from their BigBang? Are you even remotely interested in them? I've seen it done a few times, and I myself am an avid reader of A/Ns, because I am a compulsive geek.

That being said, I can witter on for days about ideas and process and inspiration and all that. So I'm being all angsty and conflicted about whether or not to make a separate post with notes and the like, or if I should just keep it short and sweet in the master post.

Thoughts? Rotten tomatoes? Bueller?



In completely random news, my summergen is threatening to eat my brain. Whose bright idea was it to pick the crossover prompt? Oh, yeah. Mine.

Yup, definitely a fan of author notes. Besides, it's your chance to thank all the wonderful people that have helped.

Still trying to figure out this Big Bang thing (until recently, I thought it was the TV show) so I'll be curious to see what you've been doing. Although I'm painfully behind on fic reading. ugh.

Aren't we all? This fandom is so damned prolific, it's a full-time job keeping up!

You'll get to see what I've been angsting about on Friday. :)

Thank God. I thought I was the only one who had no clue. I, too, had Sheldon et al running around my head, almost à la "Ghostfacers" :-)

LOL

I didn't know what it was until January either. You can find all the fics being posted (at the rate of five a day!!!) at spn_j2_bigbang if you're interested. :)

I'm glad I wasn't the only one. Any time one of the participating authors was talking about this, I just skipped over it. I wondered how a Supernatural author would like Big Bang (although I'm a fan of the geeks on CBS) so it didn't make any sense to me. I guess I missed a lot of information, but I"m sure I'll pick it up when the stories start getting posted.

I *love* the Big Bang Theory, and there are a few people on my flist in the same boat. :)

The stories for BigBang have been posting for a month, btw.

Also, just checked the link above... is this Big Bang mostly Wincest/J2 or is it whatever anyone wants? What I just scanned there isn't really my cup of tea.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Uh, a LOT of it ends up being Wincest/J2, because that's what a lot of fandom writes, especially the part of fandom that participates in that challenge.

That being said!

There are other fic genres as well. There are about thirty gen fics (mine included), and I'd say about as many het fics, Dean/Castiel, other slash and even a couple of femmeslash fics in the mix as well. You just have to find the ones you're interested in. :)
