THE HOUSE BIG BANG CHALLENGE IS LIVE!

Friends, readers, participants, lend me your ears. The day you've all been waiting for has arrived.

The House Big Bang Challenge Archive

...is live!

The challenge began in September 2007, with more than sixty authors each vowing to write a minimum 20 000 word novella over the next five months. Over twenty artists signed up to create illustrations, manipulations, drawings, or vids for each story. The novellas in this archive are representative of the variety of ships and genres in the fandom, and range in subject from canon to crossovers to crack. There is certain to be a story for every taste, and we hope that you will reward the hardworking and talented authors and artists with your generous feedback.

A huge thank you to everyone: writers, artists, cheerleaders, betas, participants of all stripes, and of course, to all of you who have waited so patiently for this moment. We couldn't have done it without you.

For your reading and viewing pleasure, I present the thirteen stories and the thirty artworks of the House Big Bang Challenge!

Your mods (exhausted but elated),

[livejournal.com profile] queenzulu and [livejournal.com profile] thedeadparrot

Squee!! The site looks awesome.
Thank you! And congratulations to all participants. Good stuff.

[identity profile] editory.livejournal.com 2008-03-30 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks for this; it's totally worth the hit in productivity I'm going to take over the next few days.

One thing I noticed - in part 7 of Namaste's story there's a huge chunk of text where the paragraph formatting didn't work as planned.

Echoing the congratulations here, the site looks fantastic and you two have done an amazing job! :)

...There's only one feedback link on my page, and I posted my two trailers on separate pages; there should be a separate link from the 'Strings' trailer to this page.

Last night was like Christmas Eve, I'm telling you. Hard time going to sleep, hard time staying asleep -- I've never been so happy for my kid to wake up early so I could get out of my bed without bothering my husband.

SANTA DID NOT DISAPPOINT!

FLAIL SQUEE FLAIL SQUEE

Um, really hate to have to do this, but there's one missing paragraph break in my fic. Part 4, this bit:

"Wilson phoned me this morning and explained everything that happened, and asked me to rearrange all his work for a week," Cuddy said pointedly. "You, on the other hand, just didn't show up when you should have. Cameron did your clinic duty this morning." "She loves doing that," House said to me, in a blatantly insincere tone. "Cuddy, this is Archie Goodwin. Nero Wolfe's lackey."

Should be a break before "She loves doing that...

chiming in on this thread, to keep comments on the same story together, I'm also seeing runaway italics on Firefox starting about halfway through Part 4, until the start of Part 5.


... I still can't believe you guys managed to pull this off so well. :D Epic Congrats!

One comment, one question, both of which are low priority. At the top of the page for In for a Pound (http://housebigbang.panfandom.ca/fiction/in_for_a_pound.htm) has the word "WORDCOUNT" instead of the word count.

I wondered why the story was split into three parts. It's fine that it was but just wondering why.

Thank you for so much hard work!

Congrats!!

The links to read comments and post comments from leiascully's art page are broken; they say POSTNUMBER instead of the post number. :)

Have I mentioned how much you, [livejournal.com profile] thedeadparrot, and all the other house_bigbang participants rule? Well, even if I have, it bears saying again! YOU RULE.

Haven't found any bad links so far, but, as a side-note, it's a bit strange to see that my fic got separated into two parts. XD;

Yay!

Oh, it looks sooo good and I'm so excited that I'm flailing around right now. I need to settle down and actually READ these!

Congrats, Everyone!

[identity profile] oldblue.livejournal.com 2008-03-30 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Also, not a big deal, but my story is missing paragraph breaks in a few areas. Mainly in Part 3, section 16 and Part 4, section 19 in the dialogue.

Otherwise, it looks absolutely fabulous. Thanks, mods!

This is a reader's dream come true! So many words, so little time ... I've read three stories so far and they are just brilliant. The family's demanding some attention now so I'll have to stop for a while, but it's going to be a late night tonight!

I'm so impressed by the effort you've all put into this wonderful site, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hi! You said to point out errors, so...

In the page for Namaste's fic
(http://housebigbang.panfandom.ca/fiction/time_marches_on.htm)

the link to the vid isn't working (it's missing a slash between artwork and the username)
:)

I'll seize the chance to also thank you mods for this great achievement! I love long stories and I've read wonderful ones thanks to this challenge. So... thank you! :)

I'm just downloading all the fics (I much prefer to read fic on my PDA) and noticed that the link to my LJ, in the headers to Dee's fic (In For a Pound) is written as DaisyLily - it should be Daisylily. Please can you change it - many thanks!

Commenting will be forthcoming on all the fics as I trundle through them (and for the artwork/vids/etc too) - my plan is to comment on everything, eventually.
