Writers, please get your claims information in by 5pm EST tonight!

[storiesinthedarkbang]

Artist and Beta sign ups are now open!

This big bang, based on the characters from Voltron: Legendary Defender, focuses on creations based around ghost stories, mysteries, and horror.

Sign up form!

What exactly is allowed in this bang?

Ghost stories

Stories that center around paranormal aspects, or campfire tales such a bigfoot and mothman. All that cryptid stuff!

Mysteries

If there’s a mystery to solve, then the story belongs right in this bang!

Horror

Vampires, werewolves, and demons alike are what fit into this category. If it had a horror element, it’s fair game. This includes dark themes such a murder and death. Supernatural creatures also fall into this category!

All ships, as well as gen work, are allowed!

No explicit sexual content will be allowed.

Don’t hesitate to ask the blog or @galrafloofandlove any questions!

Claims are approaching!

[storiesinthedarkbang]

Writer sign ups are closed!

If you want/know somebody who'd like to sign up as a writer, dm the blog and we can work something out!

[storiesinthedarkbang]

Writer sign ups have been extended until the 27th!

Since some writers are debating whether they want to participate or not, I've extended the writer sign up deadline by quite a bit.

[storiesinthedarkbang]

Hi! Sorry for bothering yall, but I was wondering if writers are allowed to do like a small collection of stories or if it has to be all one cohesive one? I just have a few ideas in mind and I don't know which to go with haha! If its not that's fine, I just wanted to make sure.

A small collect of stories would be fine, but if possible we'd like to keep them all connected in some way. Like sitting by a campfire and one person telling the stories would be good. You can dm us for any other more specific concepts! And don't worry, I'm here to be bothered and answer any and all questions~
