Reverse Big Bang 2012 Masterlist
So, already, we're at the point of another masterlist. The Reverse Big Bang has practically flown by - and once again, I'm astounded by the creativity, care and attention that our Big Bang participants put in.
Before I move onto the masterlist, I'd just like to draw your attention to the poll I've just set up on mentalistbbvent. This is just so we can see how much people enjoyed the new format, and where we can go with the Big Bang concept in the future. If you follow the vent community, we'll keep you in the loop as much as we can. The poll can be found HERE.
Now, onto the fun part. We have eighteen fantastic stories and sets of artwork to be enjoyed. There's some brilliant stuff here, so I do hope you enjoy them all. Fics are listed in alphabetical order.
Until next time... x
