Fallout Big Bang 2013 Master List

10 great collaborations from some fantastic artists and writers.

This concludes our posting for the 2013 Fallout Big Bang.

As your very own Nukamod I would like to thank every single participant for taking part, whether or not you stayed through to the end. This was a brand new event for our fandom and a new experience for many of us, so thanks for giving it a chance, for being patient with the bumps in the road along the way, and for bringing your talents to share with us all.

Working with all of you has been the tops. Thank you so much for being a part of our first Fallout Big Bang.

Later this week we’ll be posting some questions for participants and hope you’ll take a moment to give us your feedback so that we can make this event even better next year.

Thanks also to all of the non-participants following this blog and taking the time to check out these amazing collaborations. If you haven’t had a chance to look at them all, the Master List is now up, so you can find all the links and info in one spot.

Day 7: O Caesar, Where Art Thou? Author: nihilnovisubsole Artist: legendaryarmor Setting: Fallout: New Vegas Characters/Pairings: Implied Arcade/M!Courier + Elder McNamara, Lt. Romanowski, Francine Garret Disclaimer: The Fallout series and all its settings and characters are © Bethesda Softworks. Warnings: Violence, asphyxiation, allusion to a past rape Summary: In the middle of long, hot Mojave summer, Arcade’s love for proverbs grabs the eye of a stranger. A taciturn orphan feared for his strength, Tony’s tracing a medallion found on him as a baby - and he needs a Latin translator to help him follow it back to The Fort. But as they forge deeper into Legion country, the truth behind Tony’s birth becomes self-evident - and ugly. Burned by the sun and the dark heart of his origins, will Tony rise above his blood? Or will violence run in the family? Story: fanfiction.net Art: tumblr
