Welcome to the Dragon Age Big Bang!
A fandom Big Bang encourages writers to produce a new, long piece of fanfiction, with the challenge of a deadline. Each fic will be paired with an artist, who will work with the author to create a new illustration based off of the themes and vibes of that work. Each pair of participants in this event will produce: One (1) new Dragon Age Fanfic of at least 25,000 words, and at least one (1) art piece inspired by that fic.
Completing these on time will ensure:
The fic (with embedded art, linked to the artist) is included in the AO3 Collection
The fic and art will be advertised on the Tumblr for the Bang, tagging both artist & writer
Unlike an exchange, this event is a collaboration between the artist and writer to create works that inspire each other while celebrating/showcasing their individual work and creative effort.
Longfics can be anything you like, within our sparing content guidelines! Artists are asked to make an earnest effort to capture a vibe or scene of the fic, respect character descriptions, and collaborate with the writer on that content. Artists are volunteers valued equally with writers in this creative endeavor.
Why Would I Do This?
Fandom! This is yet another opportunity to produce new works for Dragon Age! We love this fandom and making things for them!
Fun! This fandom can be extremely kind and full of mutual appreciation and interaction for artists and writers. When done well, with clear communication, reasonable guidelines, and follow-through, collaboration between an artist and writer can be very fun and personally rewarding. If all goes well, new friendships and future collaborations can be formed!
Challenge! Whether it is the projected deadline to produce your fic/art, needing to write a new stand-alone fic in this amount of time, or the challenge of making a piece of art inspired by someone’s writing, there’s a level of challenge involved that can be exciting and inspiring.
Advertising! Completing a work on schedule for this event will result in it being advertised. We organizers are artists and writers ourselves and want to be considerate about what you think is good advertising for your work on these platforms.
