Complement signups for the Ante_up_Losers Big Bang are still open, and will stay open until late (midnight-ish US EST) Saturday May 25! Details below!

This big bang is not fic only. Our bang creators have signed up and we have knitting bangs, art bangs, fic bangs, fanmix bangs, comics bangs! We have fusions/crossovers galore: Inception! Dark Angel! Cinderella! Check out all the amazing ideas in the party post. Want to join in the fun and create complements with them?

Complements can be anything you can think of. Art, podfic, rec sets, meta, picspams - the list goes on and on. If you can think it up, you can do it! Size requirements for the media we could think of are listed here, but if we didn't mention a type of fanwork you'd like to make, dive in and discuss it with the bang creator, and Contact A Mod and we can discuss size and submission requirements.

To round out the teams, we are recruiting enthusiasm experts. If you enjoy being a Beta, a cheerleader, a whipcracker, an Alpha or any other type of random squee generator, efficiency expert, or general helper, we want you to join in the fun and help our teams get all those glorious fanworks completed!

Check out the sign up post and see who wants what sort of complement! Spread the Losers love around! Join in on their party post comment to discuss details, or dive straight in and join up at the sign up post.

We’d love to have you along for the ride!

Big Bangs are usually: an author produces impressively large amounts of fiction! An artist comes along and creates fantastic artwork!

This is a Big Bang with a twist: you can produce a large creative work — Fic, vids, art, knitting, music, meta, fanmix, any format you want — as a bang. You can produce a smaller creative work (any format you want) to complement someone else’s bang. You can creatively cheer on, nag, support, beta and generally encourage creators if they get stuck in the creative bog. You can do a combination of all three!

Sound good? Check out the links above, especially the party post and the rules/deadlines. We’d love to have you along for the ride.

Very coincidentally, I came across a tidbit that might be tangential interest for fans of the actor who plays Cougar in the movie version of The Losers.
Oscar Janaeda was going to play the title role in a movie about Cantinflas, the Mexican comic. I understand Oscar Jaenada said in an interview at one point that he was a big fan of Cantinflas since he was a kid.
I hadn't heard how that shoot was going, or if there was any further news about it--I'd love to hear more.

Turns out a kickstarter artist is working on creating books about the affair that her mother had with the bullfighter in the title, who was Cantinflas.

This kickstarter project is already funded, they're also still offering digital versions of the book.

Hi all!

I'm researching for a fic, and was bereft to find that the fanfic_military yahoo group has apparently been disbanded; maybe I'm not using the right google terms, but I cannot find it.

To that end, does anyone know of any 'experiences of family left behind while beloved person deploys' type resources? The forums I've been able to find are understandably restricted to only serving families.

Also, given that the Losers were performing actions that were terribly embarrassing to the US government, does anyone know what sort of benefits etc the Losers' next of kins would have access to?

Losers-specifc questions!

Are there any theories/accepted fanon on how long the events of the movie take? Say, how long they spend in Bolivia, and then how long they're in the US for?

Given that they're not deployed in an official warzone, does anyone have a theory on how long they would have been away from home at the start of the movie?

Many thanks!

Am I certain that Max was never given a last name? Or a first name? What about Wade? Didn't Pooch mention his name? I've been through the comics/graphic novels backwards and forwards and watched the movie (what a job!) as much as I have time for, and I *know* I've missed something.

See, I'm gathering info for to write a Losers fic for the mini_wrimo. And, if nothing else, I can make up names. I'm just trying to stick to canon as much as I can.

TIA!

Okay, second public bit of Loser fic.
Apparently the whole weeks' worth of prompted fic bunnehs have dogpiled me completely tonight.

Not part of the Bang, which I've been seriously enjoying, but for a fic prompt over on DW fic_promptly.
cougars_catnip posted an "Emotions" prompt, here,
http://fic-promptly.dreamwidth.org/154029.html?thread=7045037#cmt7045037

"The Losers Cougar/ Jensen ~ fascinated"

Which blew up into this.

On Tuesday, a day for "movie quotes" as prompts, kayim there posted the prompt,

Losers, Any, "Guns are for show. Knives are for pros." that's from Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels

First I'd have a chance to read through that day on the comm, and this fic bunneh leapt into my head, about Roque, of all people. I think it may be part of a longer piece I've been working on, but that is not yet determined.
