In case you missed it, we have finalized our Schedule, Rules, and FAQ/Requirements for the 2026 round of the Reverse Billy Big Bang! We also have the lovely @alicetallula joining us on the mod team for this round!
Sign-ups open in just under 3 weeks on February 1st, and while we will be making quite a fuss about them here on tumblr, if you'd like to get an email reminder to sign-up, please add your email to our mailing list and you'll get an email on February 1st!
Additionally, we are still doing our Finish a WIP Mini Event though January, which is open to anyone, so if you've wrapped up a Billy-focused fic or artwork, don't forget to tag us so we can reblog and show off your hard work!
A typed out version of our schedule is under the cut!
For my Dutch/German followers, These are the dates of the confirmed conventions I'll be attending. I had to cut down a bit compared to last year, plus I'm still hoping to get into a few for the latter half of the year. I'll update this post as more confirmations come in.
A big bang is a collaborative fandom event that encourages collaboration between artists and and fanfic authors, and encourages activity in
I don't want to be a writer or an artist, can I still participate?
Of course! There is also the option to be a beta reader for the event's writers, or to be a moderator for the Tumblr or the Discord server. Aside from that, however, you'll just have to follow along for updates and wait for posting week! (we'll be posting teasers in the months to come)
Do I have to join the Discord server to participate?
No, you do not! It is helpful for brainstorming, writing sprints and connections with other writers and artists, but it is perfectly fine to simply create your own group chat (Tumblr, Discord, or elsewhere) once your group is announced.

Submission Requirements
5K word requirement for fanfiction. You can, and are of course, encouraged to, go over the requirement!
Tag appropiately. You are allowed to be dark in your fiction, but we require that content warnings be given with the writer summaries and that important tags are included with both the art and the fiction in our event.
Art can be traditional, digital, animatic, animation, sculpture, comic, moodboard, etc. As long as it was selected as one of the art forms the writer is okay with, it is fine.
Any work, art or fanfic, does not have to be perfect. It does however have to have time put into it. Please use your best judgment.
Art must be made by you. Plagiarism is not allowed, and use of generative AI to make your written work or artwork will be cause for removal from the event. Please don't.
