🔞 94% of respondees want to see both SFW and NSFW works. Therefore, the project will welcome both SFW and NSFW works from participants. ✍️ 61% of writers are willing to write 15-25k words for this event. Therefore, writers are required to write a finished fic with a minimum of 20k words over a six month creation period. Multi-chapter works must be completed before the end of the event. 🎨 68% of artists are willing to create more than one piece. Therefore, artists are required to make a minimum of two fully lined/rendered pieces (with or without complete backgrounds) over a four month creation period, with room for creative freedom.

Q&A masterpost 📜

Find answers to common queries and any questions from our anon ask box in this post.

If you'd like to ask a question that isn't covered by the FAQ in our Carrd, please visit our anonymous ask box. We will then reblog this post with the answers to any new questions we receive.

All questions and answers below the cut!

Q: What is the difference between a zine and a Big Bang?

In a typical zine, a small team of select writers and artists independently create works for a given theme, usually before selling their products for profit, for charity, or for-production. In a Big Bang, the size of the project is directly related to how many people sign up and there is no money involved!

Q: Do fics created for this project really have to be 50k words long?

The minimum word count for a traditional Big Bang is 50k, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be required to write 50k for Tale as Old as Time! Minimum word count will be determined by our interest check, so if you’d like to participate in the project but you’re worried about the word count, make sure to fill out our interest check on July 27. This is your opportunity to shape the event to suit you, so be honest in your answers!

Q: Why is the schedule so long?

The schedule is likely to change according to the results of our interest check, especially in relation to minimum word count.

Q: Is this a SFW or NSFW event?

This will be determined by the interest check, but the Big Bang is highly likely to include both SFW and NSFW works. However, there is no requirement to create a NSFW piece.

Q: Not trying to start discourse, but I'm wondering how you will approach tagging in fics? Since this is GoGe I'd assume we should tag t/b if it's NSFW, but I've disagreed heavily with your writing mod's perspective on tagging in fandom. Thanks!

All our mods are in unanimous agreement that the author or artist is the one with final, complete control over how their work is tagged. For writers specifically, we’ll create an AO3 collection for the event with “GoGe” in the title, so it should be abundantly clear that this is a fixed dynamic event (top Gojo x bottom Geto) for any NSFW works found in the collection.

Q: Who is the event open to?

Anyone 18 years of age or older who wants to create a work following the GoGe fairytale theme. NSFW pieces created for this event must be GoGe (top Gojo x bottom Geto), but all 18+ creators happy to work within these constraints are welcome, provided they remain courteous and respectful to mods and fellow participants. We will not tolerate bullying or harassment of any kind in this project.

Q: Do I need to apply?

No applications required! Sign-ups open for everyone on August 28, following the results of our interest check. Anyone who meets the criteria laid out in our answer to the previous question is welcome to sign up.

[stsgbigbang2025]

Q: 50k for a writer vs 2 pieces for an artist feels very imbalanced. Is this subject to change?

Yes! You can find more information in our answer to the second question in the post above or in the FAQ in our Carrd.

Q: Is this GoGe or SatoSugu?

We are using the ship names interchangeably, i.e. SatoSugu/GoGe, not SuguSato/GeGo. All NSFW pieces created for this event must be GoGe (top Gojo x bottom Geto).

Q: Would it be at all possible to co-author a work? I'd like to say I could finish a larger project on my own but it's a little out of my depth and historically I've felt more inspired/motivated when writing with another author.

Absolutely! If you’d like to co-author a fic with another writer, you’re very welcome to sign up together and pitch as a team.

[stsgbigbang2025]

Q: How much of an idea/outline are we expected to have in order to pitch?

We leave that up to your discretion as the writer, but we will share pitch guidelines for participants at the end of the sign up period to ensure that anonymous pitches more or less follow the same format for artists when it comes to claiming!

Q: Are we required to cite a specific fairytale/fable/myth/folklore as our inspiration for our writing or would something which is not based on any specific story but has fairytale or myth-like vibes be allowed as well?

Anything with fairytale "vibes" is welcome!

Q: Are multi-chapter works allowed?

Absolutely! However, multi-chapter works must be completed before the end of the event period, even if you want to stagger posting of chapters afterwards.
