As LiveJournal’s been up and down recently for emergency maintenance, this is as good a time as any to remind folk that there’s a Shousetsu Bang*Bang collection at AO3! It’s not an official mirror, and we won’t be reposting things there without permission; however, authors who want to add their own stories to AO3 can (and should!) share them with this collection.

One of the nice things, too, about AO3 is the download link on each page, so if you’re an e-reader type, this might be the perfect thing for you.

As always, don’t forget to leave kudos and comments!

Signups are now open for the September 23 issue, which is our annual special issue dedicated to showing off the works of the visual artists in the community.

The theme for this issue is DISTANT SHORES: far-off places and the fun of going (or not going) there.

Artists are of course welcome to both write and draw their own contributions. However, authors may volunteer to generate ideas, hack out dialogue, write/polish final scripts, and/or whatever else might be necessary in the story-creating process. If you’re a writer interested in a collaboration, leave a comment here detailing what things you’d be interested in doing, from spot-checking someone else’s written work to cutting an entire script from whole cloth. If you’re an artist looking for someone to whip up the text for you, look no further!
