Posting Ends!

Hear ye, hear ye! That's a wrap. Thus ends Be a Goldfish: A Multifandom Multimedia Microbang... for now. (Dun, dun, dun!)

This round has gone swimmingly: we've had so much fun creating, commenting, and connecting with our incredible community throughout the course of the past two months. We hope you've had a blast, seen some cool shit, made some cool shit, experienced fannish bardic inspiration, and perhaps even made some friends! We know we have.

A roundup for the road:
  • 185 works
  • 70+ Fandoms
  • 15 Mediums
  • 38 Creators
Wow! We're so proud of your contributions, and we're so grateful for your incredible participation in our event. Whether you're a creator, a commenter, or a silent cheerleader, you make BAGbang. You can view the full list of contributions here. You can check out our reblog tag on tumblr here, go through our Dreamwidth entries, or peruse the AO3 Collection here.

Though the entry form is now closed, the AO3 Collection is still open until 3 March, so please feel free to add any works posted to the archive that aren't already there. It's open to fic, podfic, art, music, and whatever else you've posted to the archive. Give other fans ample opportunity to find and fall in love with your work!

Whether you enjoyed this round and are looking forward to participating again, didn't manage to share all the works you wanted to this time, or are looking forward to hopping in next time as a rookie participant, we have great news!

We will be hosting a second 2026 round later this year beginning in July. In fact, we intend to host two rounds per year for the foreseeable future! Hold for applause. Please feel free to keep cooking up ideas, locking down collaborators, experimenting, exploring, making, and chipping away at those wips, because you haven't seen the last of us yet!

Promotion for the next round will begin in a few months, so keep a weather eye out, share with your friends, and get ready to rumble.

One more big thanks: you've been incredible! We're truly overwhelmed by the incredible outpouring of fannish love, enthusiasm, and creation, and we can't begin to express our gratitude. Cheers, fish friends!
Don't forget: fill out our Feedback Form, if you'd like to let us know what you like, what you hate, and what you'd like to see from us in the future, and let us know if you have any prompt ideas through our Prompt Submissions form! Your thoughts matter to us. No wrong answers!
