After the telephone game lot of people told me that they were interested in joining another project just like it so here we are!
Sign up is available here!
There's a project server invite at the end, you're not required to join it but please don't feel anxious to join! The previous participants have created a very kind community 'v'

What is an Art Bang?
An art bang is meant to create a BANG of fanwork in the fandom! You (and as many authors who sign up) come together to write fanfics from scratch. The fanfic can be an idea that you’ve been wanting to write for a while and just haven’t gotten the motivation to, a fanfic you haven’t been able to continue but want to, or it can be an idea someone else suggests when you join.
Halfway through the writing process authors will be paired up with artists who have read a summary of their work and want to draw for it. When everything is finished, everyone will release their fanfic and fanart in the same week in an explosion of fanworks!
More info below the readmore!
How does it work?
Step 1: Authors sign up and start writing on June 28th. Authors CANNOT add any words to their official word count until after June 28th.
Step 2: After about a month, Authors submit a snippet or summary of their fic which is presented to the artist participants anonymously.
Step 3: Artists choose as many fics that they’d be interested in drawing for and I organize and pair up everyone together.
Step 4: Authors finish up writing, Artists finish up drawing.
Step 5: Works are scheduled to be uploaded to Ao3 and/or Tumblr!
Rules/Expectations
If you use generative AI or AI “assistance” I will trap you in a timeloop ☆*: .｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆
AI anything is not allowed under any circumstances and will get you immediately banned from this project and any future projects.
All fics must be uploaded to either Ao3 or Tumblr
Spoilers for ISAT and SASASA:P are not reinforced in the Discord server
Authors
Authors must write at least 10k words in total.
Authors can write as many chapters and fanfics as they want.
Can be about anything! It can even be a continuation of a previous fic that you’ve lost motivation on, but you still must write at least 10k words in total.
Can be any rating! General Audiences to Explicit are welcome
Authors who want to write Explicit fics must confirm they are 18 years or older.
Artists
Artists must create at least one finished artwork.
If artists want to create something like an animation or animatic, they can check in with me and we can decide together what is a reasonable finished goal.
Artists can create artwork for multiple fics.
Artists who want to draw for explicit fics must confirm they are 18 years or older.
Can I share snippets of my work before the artist claims?
Preferably no, artist claims are made anonymously so that works are picked without any bias.
10k words seems like a lot?
Altogether, yes, but this challenge extends over 2.5 - 3 months, that’s roughly 3k words a month.
Can I write multiple fics?
Yes, but one of them needs to reach the 10k word mark.
Do explicit fics mean nsfw/sex included things, or is it general heavy themed ones?
Both. Nsfw/sex and general heavy themes.
How 'high level' do the art pieces need to be? i dont want to just do simple sketches of course but how complex should they be?
Since you'll be given a month+ to work on your piece, at the minimum it should be a polished piece. IE Lineart, color, shading
was feeling the normal Mother’s Day bitterness and went hey you know who else would hate this holiday. So anyways to the kids of absent/dead/shitty mothers and other assorted mothers day haters please take this quickly drawn odile of solidarity. She is difficult to draw but worth it
