This illustration was my contribution to the Lady Love Big Bang ( find it here: https://vldladylovebang.tumblr.com/ ), which I partnered up with the awesome writer @nooowestayandgetcaught for! They came up with a beautiful short story where Allura further explores her relationships with Romelle and Pidge, throughout being captured back on Earth and then saved with Romelle by the rest of the team!
This story really blossoms into something I’m proud to have been able to work beside Rie with, and just participate in the big bang in general! I’m also super grateful that they have put up with my splotchy responses, so thank you again, Rie, for working with me!
You can find the whole written work Here!: https://archiveofourown.org/works/17832434
2.3k, Allura/Romelle, Allura/Pidge, T-rating, for the @vldladylovebang and this gorgeous fanart done by @lapitalii
Summary: Post S6, Canon AU. After escaping imprisonment from the Galaxy Garrison, and Earth’s milia-run government, Allura and the paladins refocus on getting the Castle of Lions back. She and Romelle find comfort in each other and their Altean heritage, blossoming into a romantic friendship, and during this, Allura realizes herself and Pidge may be feeling the same way towards each other.
Thank you very much for your interest, but we’re okay on artists for now! If you’re interested in signing up as a pinch hitter, though, we’d be happy to have you, just send an email to [email protected]!
Can I ask what happened to the second check ins? I just realized it passed and I didnt get an email
The second check-in was the communication check-in that was emailed out with your pairings (just confirming that everyone was talking)! If you filled out the form before the 13th or so, you wouldn’t have gotten an email!
Thank you for fighting for all types of representation, through Shiro and Pidge, and all of the brilliant female characters that are intrinsically woven into the fabric of the Voltron universe.
Leaders, soldiers, scientists, engineers, fighters, martyrs, mothers, daughters and lovers.
To see so many amazing female characters on the screen, young and old, good and bad, and all shades in between, all of them written with nuance, with complex inner lives, and active in their own destinies, makes Voltron Legendary Defender truly special!!
Thank you to everyone who signed up and everyone who shared our post!! We were able to get artists for all of our fics, and now the next step is sending out pairings by e-mail!! Those will be going out starting this evening at 8PM EST!
We’re partway through claims here at the Lady Love Bang, and we find ourselves in the unfortunate position of being a bit short! Particularly, we’re looking for artists who are 18+, since a good number of our fics without artists are Explicit rated.
You can see our summaries here; information about what’s required for our tiers is here; our schedule is available here; and our signup form is here! Sign up and we’ll send you an email with information on claims and which fics are missing artists!
We’re not quite ready to open claims yet, and we may have a few stragglers coming in, but the summaries we’ve received so far are available here! Our writers have some really awesome stuff in store, so feel free to take a look!!
Hi there! I was just wondering if a mod could briefly explain tiers and their numbers such as '2k minimum'?
Hi!
In choosing a tier, you’re committing to do a certain amount of work. For writers, that’s a certain minimum number of words (so a 2k minimum means the fic must be, at minimum, 2,000 words long) and for artists, it’s a number of pieces finished to a certain level (so a single colored piece with no background at Tier 1, drawn based on the fic you’re paired with!) We tried to make the work levels roughly equivalent, and we hope we did okay!
Thanks for asking, and let us know if you need any more clarification!
Hi! I applied as a writer and I was wondering if there was a limit to how many times we could apply? I'm working on my first fic right now, and I have ideas for other works with other ships, so I was thinking of maybe applying two or three times if this was allowed, but I can also see why that might not be a good thing. Thank you for your time!
Hi! I want to apologize for the wait, anon!
You only need to submit one sign-up form for the Bang; if you want to do multiple fics (which you are absolutely welcome to do, if you think you can write them all in the Bang’s timeline), you’ll just submit multiple copies of the first check-in/claims information form when that is sent out! (It’ll be sent out about a week before it’s due, to the email you provided on your signup form.)
Also, just to clarify, once you’ve sent in your signup form, you’re in, just in case there’s any confusion there!
