Hey, go read my new fic Young Gods on AO3 now! or Read it here!

Summary:

A local 19-year-old, Richie Tozier, goes missing a couple weeks before his high school graduation. Eddie Kaspbrak can’t help but wonder where this bright smiled stranger has run off to. What happens when he finds him? What happens when he decides to run away with him? The result- Eddie & Richie. (The hella self-indulgent Bonnie & Clyde AU full of bank heists, trashing hotel rooms, stealing cars(and glances), and falling in love with a gun in their hands.)

Eddie twirled his spoon in his hand, chewing slowly. The sound of the metal grazing the bottom of the glass bowl met his ears and sent a shiver down his spine. The milk swirled. He didn’t know where non-name brand cornflakes were manufactured. Were they just repackaging other cornflakes? Did they make new cornflakes with the same recipe? He picked up the box sitting next to his hand on the small kitchen table he usually shared with his mother. He read the nutritional facts, a frown pulling down his pink lips, his brows furrowing. All cornflakes taste the same.

“Oh lord.” His mother’s voice floated in from the doorway that connected the kitchen and the living room.  He could hear the eyeroll in her words.

Eddie rose from his seat, his legs unsticking from the plastic of the chair painfully. The metal hair legs make an agitating scraping noise on the linoleum. Making soft footsteps in his white tennis shoes, Eddie pauses when the toes of his sneakers meet carpet.

His mother looks up from her place in her armchair, where Eddie always finds her after school, giving him a look of disgust. “Look at her.” She says, gesturing toward the television with the remote in her small hands- small hands that Eddie inherited from her.

The news was on. A woman was gripping a microphone, sobbing, with mascara making lines on her face. A man stood behind her, a hand on her shoulder, with a frown on his mouth. Underneath their faces are the words “RICHARD TOZIER- BOY STILL MISSING IN DERRY” and Richie’s smiling 11th grade yearbook photo next to the news station’s logo.

Eddie looks away from the television as his mother speaks. “She really thinks he was taken? No one would kidnap such a delinquent. And if he was? He’s gone by now- dead. It’s been weeks.”

“You think he ran away?” Eddie asked, turning back to the crying woman on the screen. She comes on every day, crying, begging for Richie to come home. Sometimes she has Richie’s 2-year-old sister in her arms, hugging the baby like she might disappear too.

The newscaster is back on the screen, her expression solemn. “If you have any information on Richard Tozier’s disappearance please contact the Derry Police Force. He was last seen two weeks ago.” They flashed multiple pictures of Richie on the screen while describing his eye color and his height. Eddie hugged himself, messing nervously with the skin around his elbows. His bottom lip found its way between his teeth. Richie’s smiling face was usually an image he sees in his head regularly, but now it’s plastered around town and it means something else- elicits a different feeling in the pit of Eddie’s stomach than usual.

Dog Days (1/7)

Title: Dog Days

Length: ~36.6k words (5k for this part)

Summary: Richie Tozier is twenty years old, over halfway through a Chemistry degree at the University of Maine, and in love with his best friend and roommate, Stanley Uris. And he figures that it’s fine, with no cause for change, until he finds an injured puppy near his apartment.

Warnings: Explicit language, small amounts of smoking/drinking, vague description of a dead animal, mentions of animal abuse (the animal stuff is all about the injured puppy, it’s not like… a recurring theme or smthn) and like… one punch is thrown (it’s a cute fic I promise)

Pairings: Stan/Richie, background Ben/Beverly

A/N: I have a bunch of losers club x dogs headcanons, so I finally wrote one! this fic was originally written for the @itbigbang, and while the exchange ended up falling through, I did have a wonderful time writing this fic ♡ also posted to ao3 here

“Oh, here.” Richie pulled Stan’s phone from his hands, who let out a dissenting breath from his nose, but didn’t attempt to stop him. “Beverly just sent me the mix she made. I’ll put it on while we study.”

“What’s it called?”

“Uh…” Richie plugged Stan’s phone into the speakers he’d left on the coffee table, opening up Spotify. Beverly’s playlists usually had hilarious names long enough to rival Fall Out Boy themselves, but this one was unexpected. “It just says ‘idiots’. No capitalization.”

“Sweet, isn’t she?” Stan asked, amused, pulling a notebook and a pencil from his backpack, tucking the writing utensil behind his ear so he could use both hands to pick up his Statistics textbook. That thing was heavy, Richie knew; Stan had dropped it on his head once. He frowned, scrolling through the tracklist.

“These songs are weird.”

“Yeah?” Stan slid the textbook to the edge of his knees, beginning to open it.

“Yeah.” Richie frowned, reading out the first song. “This Guy’s In Love With You.”

Stan dropped his book on his foot, cursing loudly as Richie laughed.

“…excuse me?” He finally asked.

Hello to everyone involved in or waiting for the big bang. I'm so sorry for all the delays.

I've been dealing with alot of stress and heartbreak within the last couple of months. My grandfather and my dog have passed away recently and I've gotten a new job on top of my two others. It's been hard for me to balance and I can feel my mental health going on a decline.

So I'm sorry if this all seems like a terrible excuse but I'm going to have to cancel the big bang. I'm so sorry to put this together and then completely waste everyone's time. It was never my intention to upset so many people. Thank you for participating and I would love to read all the fanfictions that came from this.

FICS FOR THIS BIG BANG: 

#1 Title: Dog Days

Length: 36.5k words

Summary: Richie Tozier is twenty years old, over halfway through a Chemistry degree at the University of Maine, and in love with his best friend and roommate, Stanley Uris And he figures that it's fine, with no cause for change, until he finds an injured puppy near his apartment.

Warnings: Explicit language, small amounts of smoking/drinking, vague description of a dead animal, mentions of animal abuse, and like... one punch is thrown (this kinda sounds bad but it's a cute fic I promise)

Pairings: Stan/Richie, background Ben/Beverly

 #2 Title: Hershey Kisses

Length: 8.8k words

Summary: A scheduling error puts Stanley Uris into the beginning culinary class his senior year of high school. Not excited about the elective, Stan makes it his mission to switch out of the class as soon as possible, but he starts to reconsider it when he finds out that Mike Hanlon is the teacher's assistant. Because they're friends, of course; Stan's massive crush on Mike has nothing to do with it.

Warnings: maybe like 2 curse words? gratuitous kissing? so sweet that you'll get cavities, guaranteed.

Pairings:Stan/Mike, background Richie/Eddie

 #3 Title: Ikea Boy

Rating: G

Eddie has a job at Ikea and he’s starting to fall for the guy that sleeps in the Ikea beds every single night.

 #4 Title: Those Who Fall In Love Like Anchors Dropped Upon The Ocean Floor

Rating: Teen/Mature

Synopsis: Bill has quite a reputation around campus. He also just happens to be Stan’s neighbor, and to add onto that, happens to find interest in Stan, for reasons unknown to the latter. But Stan doesn’t exactly appreciate the obnoxious persona that Bill wears as a facade— he wants to know the real Bill. But that’s a task that proves harder than he originally thought. He needs the help his friends (and an anchor, who he calls Georgie Denbrough) before he can reach the bottom of the enigma named Bill Denbrough. (aka Bill is a fuckboy who uses Georgie to spend time with Stan because he knows that nobody can resist his adorable little brother)

(TW: [eventual] Car Accident, [eventual] Injuries, [eventual] NSFW - the characters involved are 21)

#5 Title:  Funny You Should Ask

RATINGS: Teen/Mature

In College, Bill and Richie had a rather interesting relationship. They loved each other, sure. But at the same time, Bill wasn’t sure about the career path Richie seemed set on. When Richie leaves without any warning after a fight between the two of them, Bill doesn’t seem to care. Funny you should ask, because nearly ten years later, the group is brought back to Derry, Maine. Bill sees Richie after a decade without him, and realizes how much he needs the man. The only thing is, Richie Tozier is now one of the biggest Alternative singers. Still, the regret of letting him walk out years ago hits Bill in the face like a slap. So what else can Bill do but follow the rock star to California in hopes that he’ll take him back?

(TW: Suicide Attempt [but Stan survives!], NSFW [mentioned and eventually explicit] - the characters involved are ~30)

 #6 TITLE: Good Things Dont Last

RATING: T (explicit language)

SUMMARY: Eddie uses dancing as a getaway from all of the stresses in his life, and gives him the freedom to just be himself for a small while. One warm summer, during one of Eddies dances at a local competition, he invites the losers to watch. And then, as they all watch, it dawns on Richie that the feeling in his chest is love. Unfortunately, a love story between two boys was never destined to be as simple a story as just that. This is a story of love, heartbreak, and the bittersweet summer haze.

 #7 Title: I Love You, I Hate You

Ship: Reddie

Rating: T (swearing, minor suggestive content)

Summary: After being publicly humiliated by his long term crush Richie Tozier, Eddie determines the only thing to do is retaliate. In this case, that takes the form of a prank meant to induce just as much embarrassment. Or maybe just a little bit more. What it wasn’t supposed to do was land Eddie in the hospital, much less put his mother in a state of paranoia. But Richie’s good at being the catalyst for major disasters. Eddie just hopes that their potential relationship won’t be one of those things.

 #8 Title: After the Funeral

Rating: G (with some minor cursing)

Summary: Georgie Denbrough’s body was found dead on Witcham Street. A week later, and he was buried. With the funeral over, there was nothing for Bill to do but accept that his brother was, and would always be, dead. Acceptance, it seemed, went hand in hand with pretending that Bill himself no longer existed, or that nothing had happened, or some odd mix that of those things that left Bill just as incapable of interacting as he used to. Stanley Uris, however, had a couple of objections to that plan. And if anyone could help Bill believe that there was something worth sticking around to see, it was Stan.

 #9 Title: young gods

Rating: T/M

Warnings: Major Character Deaths (its okay though pls don’t be scared), Usual Robbing a store/ bank violence, Blood, Sex (NSFW content between consenting adult characters), all that good stuff.

A local 19-year-old, Richie Tozier, goes missing a couple weeks before his high school graduation. Eddie Kaspbrak can’t help but wonder where this bright smiled stranger has run off to. What happens when he finds him? What happens when he decides to run away with him? The result- Eddie & Richie. (The hella self-indulgent Bonnie & Clyde AU full of bank heists, trashing hotel rooms, stealing cars(and glances), and falling in love with a gun in their hands.)

 #10 Title; messages

Rating: I would say either M or E for graphic violence and gore and language, depends which you would prefer

Summary: Eddie Kaspbrak is haunted by a dark secret: he is visited by ghosts. Eddie is extremely petrified by the visitations from those with unfinished business that lurk in the shadows. He hadn’t told anyone about his anguish, not till Richie, a strange but broodingly handsome teenager. As Richie tried to uncover the truth about Eddie’s supernatural abilities, strange parts of his life are unearthed.

 #11 Title: I Dare You

Rating: T for Trashmouth

A new game is sweeping the nation. It’s called Nerve. You record yourself doing dares and you win money. Richie has the highest score in Maine. Eddie may think it’s stupid, but he’s no chicken.

 #12 Strawberry Milkshake

A soulmate AU where you can feel each other’s pain. Eddie moves to Derry hoping to get a fresh start, but who is this Richie Tozier everyone is telling him to avoid? And why are 'The Losers Club' being so nice to him?

Rating: T

Update/Due Dates

Hey everyone!

At this point, it's really difficult for me to keep track of who dropped out. So I'm just going to put it out there that I would like all of the fics written for this to be reported to me as "DONE" on March 28th.

This gives the artists time to read them and work on the art in April.

I would also like all the final summaries sent to me so I can list them with the final title to display them for the artists to choose them.

Please message me for questions or concerns! Thank you!

[itbigbang]

Should I look for people to beta??? Or is everyone comfortable reviewing their own works on their own???

[itbigbang]

To our writers

So I'm lowering the word requirement from 2 chapters to 1. Hopefully that's less scary to some.

If you already are working on a multi chapter that's 100% fine! I accept all word counts!

I just wanted to make sure that the artists had a lot to go off of but I'm sure it'll all be swell!

I'm going to reopen for more writers as well. Hopefully I gather some quickly!

Thank you all so much for trying this out with me.

Please please please contact me for any questions or help. I am happy to help with proof reading or getting you out of writers block.

[itbigbang]

Soo..

I've had a shit ton of writers drop out.. and I'm not sure what exactly to do.

Should I reopen to get more writers? Or should we call it off?

[itbigbang]

Attention BigBang writers...

I've only had 8 of the 19 writers get back to me. If you would like to drop out please let me know so I can figure something out! Thank you guys so much.

[itbigbang]

Hey there! I’m still waiting for most of the writers to get back to me! Please send maybetiltles and summaries of your fics asap so I know that everyone is still on board! Thank you!
