Capri Big Bang!

Hello Everyone!

We are happy to announce that this event is still alive and kicking! However, due to CaPri month the schedule had to be delayed, so the event is no longer an Octoberfest.

But more importantly, the signups for the Big Bang will open soon! All sign ups will be released on July 6th, with Author sign ups closing on July 20th and respective signups for artists, beta readers and pinch-hitters closing further into the event, so please keep an eye on that! 

Additionally, this year we’ll also create a form for submitting prompts if you have a few ideas you’d like to see written, or if you’re struggling for ideas as a writer. Anyone can submit a prompt, you don’t have to be signed up for the event. 

Please make sure to read the rules before you sign up and shoot us any questions you might have.

The schedule is as follows, note that it may be subject to change.

  • Start of signups - July 6th

Captive Prince Big Bang Day 15 (FINAL DAY) Till You Find Your Dream

Guys. GUYS! It is the 15th and final day of the Captive Prince Big Bang and every story has been posted and placed in our AO3 Collection! We plan for all most stories will be completed by our deadline of October 15th. So here’s to some good reading for the rest of the month!

Our final story might feature intrigue and angst, but by god if it isn’t a catchy premise! Auguste lives and Damen is secretly in Laurent’s employ as Nicaise’s tutor (GOD, poor Damen, I cannot even imagine). Together they’re going to work at kingmaking but...who knows how well they’ll work together? Our final bang story is the first chapter of @veretianblue story: Till You Find Your Dream! Enjoy!

Also shout-out to the beta @lukesunburn

My drawing for veretianblue’s capri big bang fic ‘Till You Find Your Dream’!

Summary: Auguste lives AU. Instead of meeting Laurent under the guise of a slave, Damen is forced to hide his identity and become Nicaise’s tutor. In the tenuous political situation, both are willing to do what it takes to ensure that the right person ends up on the throne.

Laurent closed his eyes. He tried to forget Aimeric and the stuffy library. Instead, he thought about the window in English class. He thought about how he had felt crying in his room on that fateful summer night. If he had done magic those times, to do it again he just needed to remember what it had been like – 
His stomach gave a lurch. He remembered how he felt when the window flew open, when his bedroom furniture went flying. He had felt raw. Exposed, like a nerve. He could not put the sensation into words, because he had been beyond words at the time. He had simply felt, and the magic had happened.

Captive Prince Big Bang Day 14: Roses Picked Under a Full Moon

Did Aimeric deserve better? I for one think, yes tf he did. And we all need some morally good Aimeric in our life. How about a fic where he helps Laurent come to terms with some magic that’s in the air? Half-High School AU, half-witchcraft AU with a little dose of lacrosse thrown in for good measure, today we have @desastrista with the fic ‘Roses Picked Under a Full Moon’. Read all 11 chapters here!

Also go thank the beta @cp-tsoa-aaddtsotu-aftg-books (what a mouthful, eh?)!

After taking a moment to drain his glass, Laurent stalked up to the man who had dropped his head back to his phone—possibly to send more childish texts—and said, “Exalted.”

My piece for this brilliant fic as part of Captive Prince Big Bang 2017! An incredibly fun DELICIOUS modern AU story filled with witty nods to the original series. Spoiler: Damen uses Biceps! Laurent is very thirsty! I feel so honoured to be part of this collab. Please enjoy and send her some love, it is a truly a gem A+++

“Now that we’ve followed your plan, would you be averse to following mine? I had wanted to start by buying you a drink. And then if we got on, we’d talk all night long, and maybe I’d get your number. If you were amenable, tomorrow I’d meet you for coffee.” Laurent raised a skeptical eyebrow, despite the fluttering of his heart. “You do this with all of your potential hookups?” The slow progression to bed seemed counterproductive to the purpose of the app; even Laurent knew that. Damen grinned. “No. But I think you deserve to be courted. And call me old-fashioned, but I do enjoy a long, drawn out courtship.”

I am FINALLY all done with my Grindr AU for the Captive Prince Bang 2k17! Thank you to the mods for this event, and special love to my artist @itakoaya and my beta @americancupsofbritishtea (dawnofthursday on AO3) for making this fic happen.  Hope you all enjoy it! Let me know what you think!

Captive Prince Big Bang Day 12: Star Power

So many fantastic AUs during this Bang! If none of the AUs thus far have tickled your fancy, maybe try on today’s entry for size! Today on the Big Bang we an AU twofer: musician AU paired with a fake relationship! Hmmm I wonder how long that relationship will STAY fake ;))))) Not long, I would guess, since Damen as a rock star would be off the charts sexy...

Sorry, I’ll stop waxing poetic about fantasies and get down to it! Introducing @turtletotem and their newest addition to the 2017 Big Bang: Star Power! This story is rate Teen and will have 10 chapters so be sure to check back for updates every now and again ;)  

Also kudos to the beta @niniblack!

Here’s my illustration for the Captive Prince Big Bang 2017 !

I was paired with @randomstufffromotherblogs to illustrate her fic, which first chapter you can find here.

I made my drawing to work like a cover for the fic, rather than draw a specific scene from it. I love the idea of hockey player Damen and figure skater, and Iggy did a wonderful job of transposing the canon relationships into those settings. Im really glad I got to work woth her as an author. And Iggy : thanks for bearing with me and being so understanding, I wasn’t the easiest artist to work with

It’s been a while I did a digital drawing, and colouring andnlights are still my weakness, so I apologize for any mistake. I was still pretty proud of this drawing, the pose and the light altogether. I hope you’ll like it too !

Captive Prince Big Bang Day 11: Ice Kings

Our favorite ice-cold frigid bitch is back with a sport that matches his personality in grace, athleticism and temperature. What with Yuri on Ice being so popular, you had to know the ice skating crossover was going to appear at some point, and add in Damen as a hockey player? HELL YES. Rated T and featuring the first chapter out of 7, we have @randomstufffromotherblogs with their story ‘Ice Kings’! And if the wait for them to start making out mid-rink is too much, check out their other Captive Prince fics here!

Art will follow soon and, of course, shoutout to the beta @laniemitchel!

Captive Prince Big Bang Day 10: The Steady Running of the Hour

A little late night surprise for everyone, we have our 10th fic for the Capri Big Bang! Are you feeling in the mood for a bit of nail-biting, self-inflicted angst? Ever wonder how Laurent felt after Damen got stabbed and had to hold himself together for the sake of 2 countries all while the love of his life might die at any given moment????? @jinlinli how did you find the strength to write this? The Capri Big Bang’s Queen Mod has posted her story, The Steady Running of the Hour, and...MY GOD, head on over to hit that kudos button and thank her for helping keep the bang afloat ;)

Also shout out to the beta for this fic here! Enjoy!

It is almost an hour before Nikandros finds them. Laurent knows little of the Akielon palace, but he knows this: the slave baths will be one of the last places he looks. By now, the bells have stopped their peal, and Kastor’s blood has begun to cool on the marble floor. Damen is sluggish and barely conscious.

My piece for @jinlinli‘s fic the steady running of the hour, written for the Captive Prince Big Bang 2017! I loved how the story gave me insight into what might have happened after Kings Rising and I feel honored that I was able to work with it for this collaboration.

Captive Prince Big Bang Day 9: The Masquerade

What a NIGHT! What a crowd, makes you glad, makes you proud, and what a MASQUERADE! Sorry...I love that song. Back to the Bang! Today we have that event that is PERFECT for some place as dramatic and lavish as Vere: The Masquerade by @dont-touch-the-phlebotinum ! What kind of mask will Damen be drawn to? Who is the mystery person behind the mask (the answer may surprise you haha)? Also, witty, flirting banter during a high-society ball??? HELL YES!

Check out the author’s other works here and give a shoutout to their beta: @koshkathecat!

Hello! I have to say I enjoy reading all these fics and seeing all this awesome art but I admit to some confusion. All the other big bangs I've seen post all the work and all the art at the same time but here authors are only uploading a few chapters. It doesn't really feel like a big bang if you cannot read the whole story once it is posted and it goes against the spirit of the event.

Hello! I’m glad you’re enjoying the event so far and as far the posting…Since we took over the bang from the original mod, things were very close to deadline and we wanted to allow the authors and artists as much time to finish/tweak as possible. We left it entirely up to the authors: they could post an entire big bang at once, or stagger the chapters so they didn’t overwhelm readers. But rest assured, the Bang has a deadline finish date and all stories should be completed by then!
