Welcome to the very first day of the week I know it's not Monday/Sunday but still  and we hope you will join us EVERY SINGLE DAY* with the weird and wonderful tasks/polls and random fun that we have to share.

As you have probably gathered, today is FIC REC FRIDAY and our theme is BEGINNINGS.

So we'd like you to recommend Skins fics with AWESOME ( Read more... )

Friday Fic Recs is back, and this week we're looking for...

ME AGAIN, SPAMMING UP YOUR FLISTS.

The main goal of skins_bigbang is, obviously, to create awesome new works of fanfiction and art in the Skins fandom. But while we're waiting for November, I'd also like to draw attention to all of the amazing stories and art already out there! A lot of us come from opposite ends of fandom, and there's undoubtedly a ton of ( Read more... )
