Round 5 Artist Claims - closed
Claiming is closed!
Fic is now open for secondary claiming, i.e. can be claimed more than once!
You may claim more than one fic now, but please make sure to tell me in your comment if you only want to claim the first available fic of your three picks, or more than one (and how many).
This post is currently open for claiming. Claiming will run from 00.01 a.m. C.E.T. Sunday to 11.59 p.m. C.E.T. Monday. You can keep track of the current time in Central Europe here.
Welcome, artists, your time has finally come! Before you can lay claim to a fic (or more than one), please read the following instructions carefully.
- This post will go up for preview before claiming starts, so you can browse and think about your options in peace. Claiming will start at 00.01 a.m. C.E.T. on Sunday. Even if you've already made your decision by then, please check the bottom of the list again, as possible stragglers will be added there.
- You claim a fic by leaving a comment listing the top three stories that you most would like to create art for, and will then be assigned the first story available from your top three. I'll confirm claims in the comments and edit the claims post to mark fic as claimed. There is due to be a lag while I am busy confirming the first claims and editing, respectively won't be online constantly for the claiming period, so take care to check the other comments, too.
- Fic claims are on a first come, first serve basis. The time-stamp of your comment will be used for this - please note that editing comments messes with their timestamps, so if you made a mistake in your comment, you might want to reply to it instead of editing to correct it, to avoid getting bumped back in the line of claims.
- If you won't be able to claim for yourself, you can appoint a proxy to claim for you. Please send us an email beforehand, so we know that your proxy is authorized to claim in your name, and ask them to preface their comment with 'Claims list of [your username] for easier assignment.
- Please choose wisely, there will be no take-backs.
- To begin with, you can only claim fic that hasn't previously been claimed. Once all fics have been claimed once, you may claim on previously claimed fics. I'll also declare secondary claiming at the top of the page. Since we only have a short list of fics this round, this should happen fairly quickly, and once it does, any fic can be claimed as often as wanted.
- You may claim more than one fic, and we encourage you to, but, as not every artist can be online when claiming opens, please hold off on claiming more than one fic until every fic has been claimed once, or until 02.00 a.m. C.E.T., whichever happens first.
- Claiming will close on Monday, at 11.59 p.m. C.E.T.
- Within 24 hours after claiming closes, you will receive an email with your author(s) contact information, and they one with yours, and it will be up to you to get in touch, receive your draft from them, and decide on how you want to handle your collaboration.
Now, without further ado:
Fic list:
#01 - claimed by branquignole, savetomorrow, sweetmadness379
(Working) Title: strike a match that’s soaking wet
Pairings: Mark/Eduardo, other background relationships
Rating: Unrated
Warnings: None
Summary: A year in the life of the inhabitants of Kirkland House, a living community for the genetically-divergent. Eduardo Saverin deals with burnt-out light bulbs and temperamental toasters. Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg sows the seeds of the mutant revolution from his laptop.
#02 - claimed by serenatechair, mesmerized_mia, brokje
(Working) Title: When I See Stars (That's All They Are)
Pairings: Mark/Eduardo
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: arranged marriage, forced marriage, child abuse (non-explicit), sex, barebacking, graphic violence, magic
Summary: Harry Potter AU. Mark Zuckerberg is a freedom fighter, Eduardo Saverin is a Hufflepuff squib.
#03 - claimed by branquignole, laenix
(Working) Title: He’s a Riot
Pairings: gen, implied one-sided Eduardo/Mark
Rating: T, for swearing
Warnings: None
Summary: Disappearing is easy enough. Eduardo disappears to Singapore - puts time and distance between himself and Facebook. Mark, on the other hand, disappears altogether. Life continues on until Eduardo discovers where Mark is and who he has turned himself into. That is: a magician who robs banks (Now You See Me crossover; not entirely necessary to have watched the movie).
#04 - claimed by sweetmadness379, widows, branquignole
(Working) Title: All Too Well
Pairings: Mark/Eduardo
Rating: R
Warnings: self-hatred, implied/referenced child abuse, serious medical things, almost death, depression, alcoholism, crack elements, religious blasphemy, not otp compliant
Summary: Eduardo accidentally, drunkenly sells his soul to the devil, gets his shit together and moves the fuck on.
#05 - claimed by uniformly, speak_me_fair, laenix
(Working) Title: Complication With Optimistic Outcome
Pairings: Mark/Eduardo, OC/OC
Rating: PG - minor swearing, allusions to violence, nothing explicit though! This fic's all about the humour, garnished with angst due to time travel shenanigans.
Warnings: None
Summary: People can't quite put their finger on what it is about Mark Zuckerberg. (Or, you don't get to rewrite the past without making a few ripples). This is a story about Mark finding himself in the past before Facebook and doing things a little differently as a result.
#06 - claimed by princewardo, badsketches
(Working) Title: Proceed to Memory
Pairings: Mark/Eduardo, brief Mark/MOC and Mark/Erica
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: light BDSM, mentions of parental abuse, infidelity
Summary: In a world where most people have extensive cybernetic enhancements, Eduardo doesn't. Mark does, but he's intrigued by the only analog student at Harvard. After the usual friendship destroying events of the Palo Alto, Facebook, and the share dissolution, Mark decides he wants to reconcile. Eduardo doesn't. He'll play paintball with Dustin and Chris, though.
#07 - claimed by badsketches, brokje
(Working) Title: Move Fast, Break Me
Pairings: Mark/Eduardo
Rating: R
Warnings: heavy sexual content, alcohol use, drug use (pot), and the following kinks: BDSM, bondage, collars/leashes, pet play, S&M (duh), Dom/sub (also duh), impact play, whipping/flogging, spanking, domestic discipline, punishments, gags, rimming, writing on the body, orgasm denial/control, humiliation, mirrors, begging, phonesex, crossdressing
Summary: AU where Eduardo and Mark never met in college, Eduardo isn't a part of Facebook yet: Facebook is growing faster than anyone ever could have hoped. It's worldwide now, with billions of users, a far cry from its humble beginnings on the tiny Harvard campus and a shitty house in Palo Alto. Mark should be happy, but things were almost easier then, in a way. His employees are able to fix problems before they arise and implement new ideas he never could have even thought of. What do you do when something you've nurtured, created and raised from the ground suddenly doesn't need you in the picture at all? He wants to feel useful for something. He wants to feel needed for something. It's time to look somewhere else.
#08 - claimed by savetomorrow, speak_me_fair
(Working) Title: Deja Entendu
Pairings: Mark/Eduardo
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: alcohol use, references to drug use, vague references to parental issues
Summary: Eduardo decides to stay in Palo Alto the night after their fight. Mark struggles to find out why as he tries to make things right between them. He wants to be enough for Eduardo. He wants to deserve him.
#09 - claimed by widows, mesmerized_mia
(Working) Title: for now (let's take it slow)
Pairings: Mark/Eduardo, Alice/Christy
Rating: M, definitely.
Warnings: Death, gore, gratuitous sex on any and all occasions with polyfidelity, futurefic, AU, vampires, werewolves, and mysticism
Summary: In 2048, there are much bigger problems than the fact that vampires exist. For a start, there's the first recorded werewolf living in a house full of Hunters, and a vampire who managed to break the one rule of not being able to kill your sire.
