Pinch hits are participants who are without creators; pinch hitting is the practice of volunteering to make a gift for a pinch hit. We'd like to have it filled before creator reveals to make sure this participant receives their gift(s) with the rest of the exchange!

Fic In A Box has a very unusual set of assignment requirements: everyone is owed (and is asking for) 10k of fanfiction, which by default can be given as one 10k+ fic or several 1k+ fics. Participants have also had the option to opt-in to other minimum lengths or to other formats of fanwork. The other fanwork mediums are given word count equivalents, which you can view on the medium ruleset post.

Additionally:

  • PHs can be picked up in 1k increments!

In order to pick up a pinch hit you need to either email us or comment on this post (comments are screened) with:

  • The amount of wordcount you would like to claim (even if you're going to do fanart or some other non-fic opt-in medium! If you aren't sure what the equivalent would be, we'd be happy to help you convert it!)
  • The exact username of the AO3 account you will be posting your fill(s) from (if you post from a different account from the one you give us, we won't be able to count the PH as filled unless you update us!)
  • An email where we can reach you (you might not be getting the AO3 assignment when you pick up a PH, so we need to know where to send the assignment!)

PH 19 - 2k - Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek: Voyager, Crossover Fandom )

Reveals!

Works have revealed! Creator reveals will be on December 20th at 10 pm EST (countdown).

Reading lists will be posted in the afternoon EST from December 8th 9th to December 19th, with a schedule going up by the 8th! These are, essentially, every work in the collection (unless the creator has opted out) at least once split out by length and medium. They will be posted at this tag (link), where you can see past year's reading lists as well!

You can still post late treats! The collection will be moderated until Creator Reveals, and then left open and unmoderated after that, so there's no deadline on treating! If you're looking for people to treat, head to the following two places:

If there are any issues or anything that we can help with, please contact us asap! We did check everyone's gifts for the basics (fandom, relationship tag, medium, and length), but checking never catches everything so even if it's something we would have checked we may have missed it.

All Works Are In!

All pinch hits have been turned in, so we're on track to reveal tomorrow December 6th at 10 PM EST (countdown)!

Reminder:
  • The collection will be briefly closing to new works at 9PM EST, it will reopen at 10PM EST after reveals!
  • If you have any notes to the mods that you don't want to go live, remember to remove them.
  • You'll be able to edit all the way up until 10PM, even while the collection is closed.
  • Do not delete an approved work without telling the mods immediately. This includes treats or if you're replacing an approved work with a new one! If our work count is off, especially close to reveals, nothing will reveal until we identify the missing work.

Pinch Hitter Requests!

Some of the PHers who are making reveals happen are creators who are not signed up for the exchange, and some of them have posted requests for treats! There are currently 19 requests, 6 of which have at least one gift! There is no deadline for giving PHer gifts!

If you're looking for people to treat, don't forget to check the comments of the pinch hitter post (link)!

Reading Lists

Every year we do Reading Lists, which are lists of every work in the exchange separated by length and medium! Reading lists will likely begin in the afternoon of the 8th EST, and we'll post a schedule either on the 7th or 8th!

If you would not like to participate in the Reading Lists, please let us know!

This theme runs for the entire month. If you have any questions, just ask!

So the scheduled posting portion of WIPBB/WIPRB posting is now over! Thank you so much to everyone who has posted so far; we've had a lot of great fic and artwork and I for one have been truly dazzled by all the stuff posted.

If you opted for a December date (either originally or rescheduling during the posting period), you will hae until whenever I wake up on January 1st to either post your fic/art or email us at wipbigbang@gmail.com to drop out. I will be posting the info about the mini bang around midnight and then fingers crossed I will actually go to sleep before the sun comes up, and then I will post anything still waiting to be posted when I wake up and then posting will officially be over. Within the next week or two I will post the 2025 masterlist as well as both the 2024 Big Bang masterlist and the 2025 Mini Bang masterlist (both of which I started to compile but lost access to the files and just got access back this week).

If you had a posting date in September/October/November and didn't email us about rescheduling for December, you are still more than welcome to post in December as well! We had a lot of people who claimed dates who didn't post or alert us, so you still have time to post before you get banned for not posting. Post at any point in December by posting your Bragging Rights (found at https://wipbigbang.dreamwidth.org/210584.html) to the Tumblr (either by submitting them or tagging our blog in your post) or Dreamwidth. You must include the Bragging rights in the template or I won't reblog your post.

I will also go through the posting date claims form to see who signed up and didn't post or drop out in time. I will alert participants who are banned from being WIPBB authors/WIPRB artists for the 2026 round via the mod email, and will kee a list of emails to cross-check against the 2026 sign-ups. If you are banned and you submit a sign-up, your sign-up will be deleted and you will be reminded of your ban. Sign up again after the reminder and I will ban you from participating as a WIPBB artist/WIPRB author in the 2026 round as well.

Summary:
Someone had tried to kill Nick Fury, and Steve’s lucky he was there to prevent it, because that’s how he learned the first of the two most important things in his life.

The ghost story that everyone knows as the Winter Soldier? Turns out, it’s Bucky.

When Steve demands to be assigned to the Winter Soldier case, Fury indulges him. After all, who’d be better at catching a super soldier than another super soldier, right? Steve is good at pulling off stuff nobody else can.

Stuff like restoring Bucky’s memory. Because during one of their encounters, the Winter Soldier puts his finger in Steve’s mouth, and Steve learns the second most important thing in his life.

While Bucky’s mind might not remember him, Bucky’s body certainly does.

Warnings: Explicit smut, Minor character death, Violent murder & its consequences, Blood, Temporary suffocation (non-sexy kind), Panic attack

Characters: Steve Rogers, James "Bucky" Barnes, minor characters

Pairings: Steve Rogers/James "Bucky" Barnes

When I Started: August 2024

How I Lost My Shit: Got distracted by all the other WIPs and shiny multifandom events.

How I Finished My Shit: Signing up for WIPBB gave me the much needed source of accountability to pull my shit together and finish this fic.

Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means [staff profile] karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.
