By the rules of the game, I must always lie.

My apologies! I had meant to put this up in the morning but my days and nights are currently all confused so it went up this evening instead. What is listed here is both the Bragging Rights template you should use as well as the links to the AO3 collection and the Final Check-In form that you will use to prove you complete your project and posted it to one of the WIPBB community blogs.

The form below allows you to post your bragging rights for finishing your fic/art. If for some reason you can't post this yourself, you can always email this information to the mods, and we'll post it for you. You can also post via proxy, just let us know that you will be doing so (i.e., where your artist posts a link to your fic in their art post to WIPBB if you are in WIPBB or an author posts your finished art on their WIPBB post).

This is the bragging rights form for WIPBB authors/WIPRB artists:

Project Title:
Fandom:
Link: (or you can post the art/fic here, too, though please put fic under a Read More cut!)
Summary:
Warnings:
Characters:
Pairings:
When I Started:**
How I Lost My Shit:**
How I Finished My Shit:**

And don't worry, WIPBB artists & WIPRB authors, we've got you covered, too! You can make your own separate post, though you are welcome to just have your partner post your work on their post if you want. Your template is as follows:

Project Title:
Fandom:
Link: (or you can post the art/fic here, too, though please put fic under a Read More cut!)
Warnings:
Bragging Rights: **

(** These are optional but encouraged!)

When you finish posting your WIP completely and are ready to post to the WIPBB community of your choice, come back to this post and post to Dreamwidth (where it will be added into a queue on our end) and/or submit the information to Tumblr by either using the submit function or posting to your individual blog and adding @/wipbigbang to the body of your post (take the / out of the middle when you post it into your Tumblr post), whichever you prefer. You can submit your post to either the Tumblr blog or the Dreamwidth community as early as you like and we will make sure it gets posted on your chosen posting day. Also, don't worry about tagging posts; we will use a system we've determined.

And here are easy to copy formats with HTML formatting:

WIPBB AUTHORS/WIPRB ARTISTS:

<b>Project Title:</b><*br><b>Fandom:</b><*br><b>Link:</b><*br><b>Summary:</b><*br><b>Warnings:</b><*br><b>Characters:</b><*br><b>Pairings:</b><*br><b>When I Started:</b><*br><b>How I Lost My Shit:</b><*br><b>How I Finished My Shit:</b>

WIPBB ARTISTS/WIPRB AUTHORS:

<b>Project Title:</b><*br><b>Fandom:</b><*br><b>Link:</b><*br><b>Warnings:</b><*br><b>Bragging Rights:</b>

(You will have to delete the <*br> tags by hand and add breaks, unfortunately, as Dreamwidth does not like the actual breaks in textboxes...)

As well as your bragging rights, you are welcome to post to the WIP Big Bang/WIP Reverse Bang 2026 collection on AO3 once your fic/art is completely posted to AO3. Do not add it to the collection before it is or I will remove it from the collection.

We are also requiring a Google forms check in to make it easier for mods to track posts. To fill out the Final Check-In form, you will need the email and Check-In ID you used to sign up, as well as a link to your Bragging Rights post on either the WIPBB Tumblr or Dreamwidth communities. Your Check-In ID should be listed on the Posting Dates page on the date you chose to post just in case you need a refresher on it. We do not want a link to personal blog posts submitted; you must use the link that is on the WIPBB Tumblr or Dreamwidth. If you tag the Tumblr from your personal blog you cannot submit the link until I reblog it to the WIPBB blog because that reblog is the link we require. I check the Activity Feed on Tumblr frequently so I will get it, but it may not be right away.

Please fill out a different form for each fic/art you post, even if you have a ton of projects. The form for the 2026 round can be found at https://forms.gle/sFvhRigVCYuDAXD67.

Your posting day is all about you. So celebrate! Don't be modest! Shout it to the world! We all come from so many fandoms, but we all came together to finish our shit, and that's something to shed a proud tear over.
