Wrap-up, and the next round
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who participated this year! It was a great turnout, and we ended up with a wonderful and diverse crop of stories. And thank you to everyone who took the time to comment on the stories - I know everyone worked hard on their fic, and it's good to see the response.
I really wanted to recognize the pinch-hitters:
cofax7
lady_songsmith
rthstewart
angel_in_tears (two pinch-hits!)
Thank you so much, ladies! You really helped out when we were in a jam, and I appreciate it so much.
Also, I didn't get a chance to link to one of the stories from the open prompts before posting started, so here it is: Power of the Mist by jn208505. I'm glad you joined in the fun.

If you want more great Narnia fic, we're going to have another fest this year, in the winter. It's still in the planning stages, but it's going to be bigger: higher minimum word count and longer time to write. Kind of a Mini-Big Bang! It's not going to be an exchange (don't worry, we'll do that again next summer), but prompts will be accepted.
Also, we're looking for artists to be involved. Most Big Bangs include pairing up an artist with a writer, and the artist creates pieces based on the story. Now the art can be anything - illustrations, banners, collages, photo-manips, icon sets, fanvids, fanmixes - as long as it's based on the story. If you'd like to participate that way, instead of writing, or if you think you know someone who'd be interested, please tell them to join us!
And we're brainstorming some ideas about the fest right now, over in my journal. If you're interested, have some ideas or suggestions, please come and comment!
