BIG BANG 2024 CREATOR SPOTLIGHTS - TEAM ALPHA
As we countdown to the close of Big Bang 2025 Writer Sign-Ups, join us in celebrating our Big Bang 2024 Teams! This weekend, our spotlight is Team Alpha. Today we are interviewing writer @kandisheek who teamed up with @laidraws, talking about: A Hundred Visions And Revisions!
1. How long have you been creating stevetony fanworks and what drew you to the pairing?
I saw Infinity War in 2018, went on to binge the entire MCU in order to understand the context and instantly fell in love with Stony. I'd been in a bit of writing slump for a while, so later that year, when I saw that Kinktober was happening, I decided to jump back into fanfic writing. And the rest is history!
2. Why did you join BB?
Cap-IM events have become a major part of my fandom life over the years, and I've had a blast with them every single time. Last year was my first BB, and I'm already signed up to do it all over again this year!
3. What was your favorite thing/part of the process of about creating this piece?
The poetry for sure. I've always loved to write poems in my spare time, so getting to do it for a fanfic was super fun. Especially because in the fic Steve and Tony mostly use their poetry to diss each other.
4. What do you hope people connect with or take away from this BB piece?
I know it's a very niche topic, but I've always been fascinated by Galileo Galilei, his discoveries and his trial, which is why I wrote this fic in the first place. So I hope that it might be an incentive to learn more about this particular time in history.
5. What fic/art in your portfolio are you most proud of?
The easy answer would be Keep Boredom At Bay and the entire Dick Pic Verse - it has definitely shaped my fandom experience, and writing it was some of the most fun I've had ever since I started my writing journey.
6. If readers/viewers like this, what other works of yours should they check out?
Honestly, this fic is so far outside my usual MO that it's hard to recommend others like it. So instead, here are some other AUs that I've written:
Some More Equal Than Others (Steve goes undercover to rescue supernatural wildlife from an illegal zoo and meets Tony the chimera)
Sharing The Drink They Call Loneliness (Married Tony comes to terms with being gay, feat. pianist Steve)
Gift of Consequence (Steve needs to save his sick mother, and his last resort is stealing from dragon Tony)
7. Tell us about a work you are currently creating or hoping to publish soon that we should get excited for.
Kinktober is around the corner, and I've got a lot of stuff planned for this year, so watch out for that!
We're so glad you enjoyed doing BB so much, Kandisheek! Read A Hundred Visions And Revisions, view the art pieces, and stay tuned for Laidraw's interview tomorrow!
