Welcome to the Hewligan Big Bang challenge!

Hewligan is a pairing term for any David Hewlett character paired with any Joe Flanigan character. They just go together, like chocolate and peanut butter.

For those new to Big Bangs, you can check out the info below before jumping into the wonderful stories and art this challenge produced.

For those unfamiliar with Big Bang challenges, this is how it works - you sign up to write a fic with a large word count (word count varies between fandom - our challenge's word count was 20,000 words) and artists sign up to create art or vids for the story they claim.

This was our first year doing a Hewligan Big Bang. Authors and Artists signed up at the end of September on our livejournal community, HewliganBigBang. Authors who wanted to receive art for their story needed to have a complete draft ready by March. Artists then claimed the stories that caught their interest, read the story and created art in whatever form they were inspired to.

The Hewligan Big Bang was open to ANY Hewligan pairing. Hewligan pairings are any David Hewlett character paired with any Joe Flanigan character.

Authors were permitted to either choose from one of the prompts we offered, one of the prompts offered in the comments to our prompt post or they could use their own prompt. As this was a small fandom challenge, we wanted to be as flexible as possible (with a few exceptions) to assure the most involvement in this challenge.

Initally we had 13 authors and 9 artists signed up to write for this challenge. 6 authors finished for a total of 7 stories coming in at a total of 214,877 words. We have 11 pieces of art created by 5 artists.

We have several viewing options on the website. You can view the submitted stories and art by author, artist, fandom, pairing, story or art. Stories and art will overlap on the fandom and pairing pages.

At the bottom of each story and art page, you will find a link leading you to a livejournal post on the community created specifically to leave feedback for the authors and artists, Hewligan_FB. The authors and artists have put a lot of effort into their respective work, so please do feedback and show you appreciate their hard work.

Any questions or comments can be sent directly to me at forcryinoutloud@gmail.com.

Many thanks to the authors, artists, beta readers, cheerleaders for taking part in this challenge and to Amezri for creating the layout base I used for this website!

This challenge was based on the Harry Potter Big Bang (the original Big Bang) and the Stargate Atlantis Big Bang. Many thanks to both for inspiring more and more Big Bang challenges across fandoms!
