Sylum Big Bang 2024: Check In

 

I know some are still working through Spring Fling!   But wanted to check in with those participating in the Big Bang.

How’s it going? Ideas happening?  Characters/Plot Lines …

I’m still trying to work through Spring Fling, but do have ideas and words written (okay yes it’s a story I’ve been working on but now motivated to get it done!)

Sylum 20th Anniversary

Okay so one thing for the 20th Anniversary we’re doing is – allowing a download of Family & Evolution.

Mainly because the old Archive died a horrible death.

So we’re setting up that in the month of April there will be available times to download it.  After that – to late.   This will be the one chance.

Who’s Who of the Murder Birds – Part 7

 

I’ll be doing a series of reveals of the Murder Birds!  The hows, wheres, and whens are coming.

Top Middle: Sean Pertwee – Macon

Bottom Left: Ben Daniels – Riose

Middle:  Dino Fetscher – Glawen

Bottom Right: Benedict Cumberbatch – Khan

Reminder – the character you see, though distinct to a particular show may not be the story used as we stole the ‘actor/character’ and took them out of the confines of the story.  

Note: This particular set showcases the leaders for this flock of Murder Birds.   Also it’s the one with the most hints of where they come from.

Who’s Who of the Murder Birds – Part 5

 

I’ll be doing a series of reveals of the Murder Birds!  The hows, wheres, and whens are coming.

Top Left: Daisy Ridley – Rey
Top Middle (long): Michael Fassbender – Ghost

Center: Pedro Pascal – Joel
Middle Right Top: Guy Pearce – X-Lee

Note: There is a reason that Pedro is on here twice as two different characters … not just because he’s a bastard who’s sneaking his way into storyline.  Let’s just say they were made to be identical.

Who’s Who of the Murder Birds – Part 4

 

I’ll be doing a series of reveals of the Murder Birds!  The hows, wheres, and whens are coming.

Top Right: Natasha Liu Bordizzo – Sabine
Top Middle (Circle): Clive Owen – Alton
Top Left: Leah Harvey – Salvor

Middle Right: George Eads – Lincoln
Middle Left: Idris Elba – Krall 
Middle Right: Val Kilmer – Montgomery

Bottom Right: Daniel MacPherson – Hugo

Reminder – the character you see, though distinct to a particular show may not be the story used as we stole the ‘actor/character’ and took them out of the confines of the story.  

Note: I normally don’t show case the fandom especially for the Murder Birds as it has no relevance to the storyline.   But Salvor & Hugo are from a show called Foundation.  There are also two other characters you’ll meet later also from that show.   It’s on Apple TV – Watch it you’ll enjoy it!  The main character is played by Lee Pace (our Cesare) and the one fighting him is Jared Harris (our Galileo) – you can see why we were attracted to it.

Sylum Advent 2024: Archived

 

All advent offerings have been archived!  So please feel free to check it out, and if want leave a note to the author or artist.

As stated last month, we’ll be slowly removing the stories/art from the blog, this is taking time.   

We will make updates as we go on which has been moved over.

Now – go enjoy the archive.   Check out some of the older works and let those know you’re enjoying them.  

After all some of us have been doing this for 20 years now (feels very old suddenly)

Big Bang – Reminder

 

Just sending out a reminder, that this year there will be no Seven Days of Summer, instead we’re going to focus on having a Sylum Big Bang.

We’ll start posting sign ups in a couple of weeks.

We’re also changing timeline slightly to give everyone plenty of time to get stories done.

We’ll be posting in October, instead of July.  

Instead of a Seven Days – I’ll be posting fun 20th Anniversary stuff during that month!  What that will be – not sure yet, but fun to find out.

So if you’re interested in the Big Bang, keep an eye out for sign ups.
