Today is the final day to sign up! Don't miss out on the fun and connecting and working with awesome people!
We've gotten some questions we'd like to answer here.
Do I have to use the same summary on ao3 that I submitted when signing up?
No, the summary you're submitting to us is just to help your future match (artist, beta, cheerleader) pick an author to be paired with. Not everyone likes every story and that's okay. And this way people get to work on something they enjoy.
Can I change my story if I end up having a better idea?
In theory, yes. Just make sure that your match(es) are okay with the changes. We would prefer if not the whole story idea changes and just some aspects of it, only so that no one ends up wondering why that particular story wasn't a possible option to choose to be matched with.
How am I gonna submit my summary if I haven't already done so when signing up?
We will send out another form to writers with which they can send us their summary. Including options to ask for a beta/cheerleader.
And yes, all writers will receive that email just in case they changed their mind about wanting a beta etc.
Can I already start writing even though sign-ups haven't closed and I don't have a match yet?
Yes! You can start writing whenever.
Will my whole fic get revealed at once even if it's a multi-chapter fic?
Yes. We will reveal the whole fic plus accompanying art at once.
How will works get revealed?
There will be a set schedule. The current plan is to reveal one fic plus art per day. This might change, but we'll let you know if it does.
What happens if I'm done before the deadline ends?
That's awesome! You'll get to post your work to our collection early and get to sit back and relax.
We won't reveal works early unless EVERYBODY is done ahead of time.
What if my fic is part of an ongoing series?
That's fine too. You can still write it as long as it's a separate work in that series. For example, if part 1-3 are already posted, and you wanna work on part 4 for the Big Bang, you can do that. Unless you already posted the first chapter of part 4.
Can I gift my work to someone?
Yes.
What happens if there's no art to go with a fic?
We'll either have to find more artists or ask the author if they're okay going foward without art.
One more thing. We want to be open with you. This means letting you know that, as of right now, we don't have enough artists to cover all the fics. We will probably end up extending the sign-up period for artists for another week, but final info on that will go up tomorrow.
So if you know artists who haven't signed up yet, haven't even heard of Kacy Big Bang, let them know. Spread the word! Encourage people to join. We promise it'll be fun!
And just to reiterate what we've already said, art can be anything you want. Spotify playlists, gifsets, drawings, manips, videos, fake social media posts (the ones where the characters have social media accounts and post about their lives), moodboards etc.
We can't wait to start working with all of you!
