Welcome to the Byler Big Bang 2026!

The Byler Big Bang is a fanwork event based on the Stranger Things ship of Mike Wheeler & Will Byers meant to create an explosion of content while providing structure, deadlines, and, of course, community support to writers and artists. This year, to celebrate our fifth year of hosting this event, we’ll be running it in the style of a reverse big bang!

See the full schedule here.

How does a reverse big bang work?

As during a normal big bang, writers and artists are paired up to create a fanfic and at least one piece of accompanying artwork. While during a big bang the writers decide what fanfic they write and artists get to choose from the ideas offered by our writers, a reverse big bang turns things around and lets the artists come up with an idea for what to draw—and then the writers get to pick! 

Once the sign up period is done, artists are asked to provide art ideas which writers then can claim. Over the following three months teams will work on completing a fic of at least 8k length and at least one full piece of visual art. Then, on their designated posting day in November, teams post their new works for the fandom to see!

See the rest of the rules & requirements here. 

See our FAQ here.

How do I get involved?

Artist sign ups will run from now until July 17th. Artists are expected to create at least one full piece of visual media over the course of the event. 

Writer sign ups will run from now until the early morning of July 24th. Writers are expected to write a fanfic of 8k words or more based on their partnered artist’s art idea.

Writers can additionally sign up as pinch-hitters to create a somewhat shorter fic to accompany an artist’s piece in case a writer drops out. You do not need to participate as a regular writer to sign up as a pinch-hitter.

It will always piss me off that they nerfed the Mind Flayer by diminishing its truly awesome size.

None of the other characters were ever able to truly appreciate this moment

Oh. You don't see Will?

Here let me--

Those 2 pixels are a 13 year old Will Byers standing his ground against an ancient eldrich interdimensional monstrosity and telling it to fuck right off.

I really admire the fanfic writers who actually rewatch season 5 for the sake of their fics.

Forever defending Michael Wheeler against the "Mike is a bad partner" allegations. Mike would be a good partner... to someone he doesn't feel obligated to be in a relationship with.
