due South fanworks

They have called this day the Eleventh of March! (And you know what that means - big bang sign ups are live!!)

And whom-so-ever of you gets through this day, unless you are shot in the head or somehow afk...you will come to the site, and you will sign up...when e'er you hear the name again, and you will get excited!...At the name March The Eleventh!

We happy few, we few, we band of creators...our names will be as like...household names, if only in fannish households. And those who are not here, be they sleeping or… doing something else...They will feel themselves...sort of crappy. Because they are not here to...to join the fun.

On this day, the Eleventh of March!

mizface and hazelwho are running the dsc6d big bang again this year, and we’d love you have you join us!

This year’s challenge will go pretty much exactly like last 2012 and 2013. If you have any questions about it, please check out The Rules Post and The FAQs Page.

We strive to make this challenge as open and welcoming as we can, supporting well-established fandom veterans and brand new participants alike. We consider writing, vidding, podficcing, and arting of pretty much any type to be all be equally awesome creative expressions, and each of these things can be a primary work for this challenge. Complement pieces, done as smaller companion pieces to the primary works can be all of those things (and more!) - we’re open to just about anything. The community is wonderfully supportive, and there is no penalty/public shaming for dropping out. So come on, take a chance and come play with us!

If you'd like to sign up (and come on, you know you want to), just go HERE!

Sooooo... mizface and hazelwho had so much fun running the ds_c6d_bigbang last year that we decided to run it again! What better day to start sign ups for the dS-C6D Big Bang than The Eleventh of March! Because (and oh yes, I am heavily paraphrasing here):

In conclusion, watch for the sign up post (which will actually run from the Eleventh of March! until the Thirty-first of March!) You can also check out the Rules and FAQs for more info.

As you may know, crack_van over on livejournal has been a source of Due South fic recs that community's inception in 2003. Currently, thursdaynext_27 is reccing over there, and I'll be driving the Due South crack van for March. However, there is no one signed up underneath me to continue our fandom's nine year run. Please consider signing up here to take a turn at the wheel. You can check out what's been recced in the past using the Due South tag on crack_van or (perhaps more easily) by checking out the links to recs kept over at delicious

If you're at all interested, please don't hesitate to give it a try! This is a pretty low-key thing - you just have to come up with a sentence or two explaining why Fic X rocks your socks. And reccing at crack_van is an excellent way for newcomers to the fandom to get involved. =)
