Congratulations, everyone! This marks the beginning of the posting period, running from today (May 10th) through midnight EDT on Saturday (May 15th). Below are instructions for authors and artists to post!
The bang's collection is on ao3 here. You must post your work there in order for it to be included in the round-up at the end of the week. Works must be:
Posted all at once (even if it's multiple chapters)
Tagged appropriately—minimum of ten tags, and all potentially triggering themes must be tagged. No works necessitating the Underage or Rape/Non-Con tags may be posted.
Prefaced by a summary that accurately states the nature and content of the work. Summaries will be included in the bang round-up.
Posted and publicly available attached to your Archive of our Own handle for at least one year, with links or embeds of accompanying art also kept attached for at least one year.
Attributed to both yourself and your artist in either the Beginning Notes or the End Notes; if you and your artist choose to post your works separately, instead of embedding the artwork in the Archive post, you must include a link to their art as well as their handles.
You are not required to post your work directly to the bang's collection. You are free to post on any site you wish—Twitter, Tumblr, DeviantArt, or other—as long as at least one link is sent to the bang moderators. You may also work with your author to embed your artwork directly in their work, in addition to posting it individually if you so choose (you must post individually, while embedding is optional). Works must be:
At least two separate pieces (or more!)
Posted publicly for at least one year on the site of your choosing, with an active/live link that the bang blog will use in the end-of-event roundup.
Linked to the companion written work in your public post with an attribution to yourself and to your author.
Feel free to post to the Archive collection and to the Tumblr tag! You'll be included in the round-up as long as you've followed the rest of the bang rules.
The goal is to have fun and appreciate what we've all created! You and your partner may post any time between now and May 15th, but you should try to post "together" so no art is left wordless or words are left artless.
Any work you post to Tumblr should be tagged with #take my hand exR 2021, the bang's official tag for this year. This includes links to fics, artwork, or anything else you created that falls under the bang's umbrella!
The bang moderators will collect all fics posted to the collection and their companion art and create a bang round-up after the posting period, so don't be late!
