The Sanders Sides Big Bang

A (Mini) Big Bang dedicated to content for The Sanders Sides! Mobile Links: FAQ | Schedule | Mods |

[sandersidesbigbang]

Hey! So I’d like to participate as a writer for this but I’ve never done a big bang/anything similar before;

Are there any rules on what you can and cannot write?

I read the FAQ section about NSFW and other such topics but when it comes to what the story can be about, are there any limitations?

Hey, welcome to the Sanders Sides (mini) Big Bang as said in our FAQ, we are not allowing content glorifying/romanticizing of unhealthy relationships (abuse, pedophilia/age difference where one was a minor, grooming, etc.)

TLDR

-No fics romanticizing unhealthy dynamic

-No real person fics

-No ships that involve incest

-No AI

-Smut without plot is not allowed.

-No x reader fics

Hope that helps!

Announcement

Hello Fanders,

We want to first apologize for the lack of communication this year, all the mods got swamped with life events that kept us from giving this event the attention it deserves. After a long consideration, we decided to take a hiatus this year. Next year, we're going to keep a similar schedule we've had in the past, with sign ups opening March-April in 2026.

We appreciate everyone who's signed up for our event year after year, and we hope to see y'all and new faces this next year.

Our best regards,

Thomas Sanders Sides Big Bang mod team

Hidy ho! Which dates are right for sign up? Do writer sign-ups really start tomorrow?

Hello! The dates on the Schedule page are the current tentative dates. Tumblr's changes on custom themes have made it hard to edit the sidebar. I'm very sorry for the confusion!

We currently don't have enough interest to run the event, so we're waiting a bit and polling again next month. We'd really like to run it, but it all depends on if enough people want to participate.

Hope to see you, and more, in the next interest poll!

Summary: Roman and Remus Crowfeather had been borrowing in the witch's house since before they could remember. With no parents or others of their kind they were alone, which was fine because they had each other. They looked after each other, they didn’t need anyone else.

And of course, that was when a rather annoying brownie fae who went by Vee (and nothing more, supposedly) came into their life. Another tiny resident in the house was certainly an adjustment to the twins, and despite the brownie’s friendship with the bean who owned the house, they were able to remain hidden.

That was until, one fateful day, an exiled leafman arrived at their door seeking shelter and safety. The twins had never met someone like Janus before, but he had sustained injuries they couldn’t heal and bore a curse they couldn’t break - even with Vee’s help. So in the end they have to break the one law they knew of their people and turn to Patton and his partner for help. Luckily for them, the witch isn’t exactly the squishing type.

Ships: Virgil Sanders/Roman "Princey" Sanders

Summary:

"Now wait a minute Virgil, let's just try a rehearsal with Roman. Just once. If you hate it, you don't have to do it ever again,' Patton reasoned.

"There is no way in hell I am doing anything with Roman Prince." Logan adjusted his clipboard. "Why do you feel the need to say his whole name every time?" "That's beside the point!"

Roman threw his hands up exasperatedly. Virgil waved him off, deciding to ignore him. There was no way this was worse for him than it was for Virgil.

"Just once," Thomas said. "Just one run through the show." Virgil sighed. He pinched his nose. "Fine. Once." ——————— A college + community theater au where Virgil is bullied into joining a community theater by his roommate, Patton, and forced into an unlikely friendship with his sworn enemy.

This fic was written for the Sanders Sides big bang! More about that in the author’s note.

Summary: Six teenagers from two friend groups get together to play a low-stakes D&D game... and learn some life lessons along the way (?)

Every two chapters focuses on one character. (I didn't have the time to finish what I intended to, so sorry to Janus, Patton and Remus fans-- I'll write their chapters in due time!)

Ships: Virgil Sanders/Roman "Princey" Sanders, Remus "The Duke" Sanders/ Logan Sanders, and Virgil Sanders/Janus Sanders

Summary: In a seemingly perfect world where death is controlled by Scythes, an unlikely team must face their own morality and corruption as they hunt down a rogue assassin threatening to unravel the system.

Two infamous Scythe twins are known for their more creative ways of taking life. Another has taken it upon himself to glean the Scythes who get too cocky, known only as Scythe Lucifer. One gleans with kindness and sympathy. One with apathy and logic. And at the center of it all, the mysterious and cunning High Blade, who has orchestrated the mission to stop the 'Orange Scythe' by any means necessary.

Soon, they come to realize a hard truth:

Living in a perfect world comes at a heavy price.

Ships: Roman "Princey" Sanders & Remus "The Duke" Sanders, Virgil Sanders/Roman "Princey" Sanders, Remus "The Duke" Sanders/Logan Sanders

Summary: Roman King was thriving. He was 6 years into a solo career as a model. He was about to sign a huge deal that would win him critical acclaim, but there's one problem. His past has come back to haunt him. 3 years ago, Remus King, Roman's brother and former modeling partner, disappeared from the tabloids entirely after a too-public stint in rehab, and no one has seen him since. Until one day, Janus Dee published an article that he claimed would tell all about Remus' abusive childhood at the hands of the child star scene. And Roman gets caught in the crossfires. To try to undo the damage that has been done, and keep his career from imploding, Roman has to go and see his brother in a middle-of-nowhere town and try to get him to recant his statement. But the first time they see each other again erupts into a furious argument. Neither of them is really sure if they're ready to see each other again, but the cat is out of the bag, the can of worms is open, and two siblings who have been pitted against each other since birth just can't let this go without a fight. Only this time, they'll be fighting to stay together. For real this time. The brothers they would've been if not for their… career.

my first TSSBB!! i had the absolute honor of making art for amazing creators and had SO much fun 💜

ID: A digital drawing of Virgil, Remus, and Roman. Roman and Remus are significantly small in comparison to Virgil, the both of them standing on a countertop, facing towards Virgil. Virgil is looking at Roman, but is facing the viewer. Remus has pointed ears and his hair in two ponytails, it is an orange tinted brown with a white streak; the hair on his tail being the same color as his hair. His clothes are green with yellow detailing as well as bright yellow gloves and brown boots. Roman has pointed ears and his hair is a dark red, along with the color of his tail. His clothes are red and white with some pale yellow detailing. Virgil has dark brown hair and mouse ears. He is wearing a blue vest and white button down shirt. The background is a magical room, with a cauldron to the viewer's left and a staff in the far right corner. There are cabinets with different types of bottles on the walls of the room and a window located behind Virgil.
