Pinch Hitter

This is for those who are willing to step up to the plate and make a piece for the Chinese Fandom Big Bang (hereafter referred to as the CFBB) if someone should need to drop out after December 1st.

So many primary & secondary participants have been paired up, but some unfortunate circumstances have left us a little light on secondaries! Sign up today!

We’re specifically looking for people familiar with Zhen Hun/Guardian, Nirvana in Fire/Lang Ya Bang, and The King’s Avatar & willing to do a secondary work for fanfic!  

[chinesefandombigbang]

Primary & Secondary Sign-ups are now closed!

Still want to participate?  No problem.  Sign-ups for pinch hitters are still open until at least the end of the month, if not longer.

[chinesefandombigbang]

Why call it a Big Bang and not a fest or something similar? One of the defining aspects of a Bang is the collaborative aspect. e.g., you see "mini bangs"/"tiny bangs" with smaller wordcounts, but still preserve that collaborative aspect. I kind of think the name is misleading or confusing, given what "big bang" means in fandom

We actually answered this on our CuriousCat!

But if you don’t want to click through the link, here’s the post verbatim: 

“This is a great question and I'm glad you're so curious about the inner working of the admins' minds when they came up with this event. First, let's look at "What is a Big Bang?" and "What is a Fest?"—a Big Bang (BB) can be a Fest, and a Fest can also be a BB, but there are certain connotations to both.

Firstly, the CFBB requires a sign-up, which is rather traditional for BBs, but not for Fests. (There are, of course, open BBs which some of the mods have personally participated in and enjoyed. We decided in a closed BB instead, which requires sign-ups for a few reasons that you're welcome to ask questions about if you wish.) Then, a secondary trait of BB is partnering up with another person. Now, if you've looked at our sign-up sheet, you may notice there's an option to go at it alone. This is because the admins recognize that some people may find it awkward to partner up and we saw no reason to exclude them. We are all passionate about our works—why should some people be excluded for working alone?

And now, we move on to posting! Even open and closed BBs have this in common—there are certain dates when the work is released. We're scheduling the release of all fanworks to bolster smaller fandoms, spread out content for larger fandoms, and encourage collaboration between fanartists of all kinds.

A Fest tends to have a common prompt or theme associated with it. The CFBB enforces no set theme. We have a timeline for posting, we have a community of creativity, and leave the themes up to the creators. So come give us your cross-stitching, your capes, and your podfics. The tradition of fanartist and fanwriter pair up comes from the zine format of the traditional BB. Technology has advanced—so why not let the BB follow suit? Now we can show off textiles and sculptures and music, let's do it!”

[chinesefandombigbang]

That’s a really short time frame for any kind of fibre craft works, is there flexibility for posting dates?

Thank you for your interest!  Right now, we plan on having posting of finished products throughout the month March.  But you can start working on this project as soon as you want (giving you from August to March 31st, which is seven months).  If this still isn't enough time for you, we'd be happy to discuss something.
