Would you take part in a baby bang for our fourth anniversary?
I would participate as a writer
I would participate as an artist
I won't participate but I'd like to see the works after!
I'm interested but I'd still like there to be a longer time-frame
I'd be a beta
I'd be a pinch-hitter

We would like to do something huge for our fourth year (but not as amazing and tremendous as we're planning for our fifth year...more info to come on that 👀) and would like to host a baby bang.
What is a baby bang? It's a collaborative event between artists and authors. Instead of a big bang, we're looking to do something smaller, with a word count of 3-7k. We're happy for authors to write more if they choose but we know what life is like! We'd like to try something smaller and more accessible.
Sign ups would be from July 1st and you can start working on it right away, if you're an author, and we'd be looking at a posting week in mid December.
Art can include anything from traditional art, to video edits, to moodboards to visual edits! As always, we ask for no AI to be involved in any works created.
We're also considering a smaller prompt event at our usual anniversary time, for anyone who can't participate in a bang, just so everyone feels involved! We'll run another poll for this later, if the bang looks like it can go ahead. If there's not enough interest, we'll run a prompt event as normal.
I would LOVE to have a bang succeed - I don't know if Hellcheer has ever had one and we've had feedback from people asking for a artist/author collab event so hopefully this can be it! If people would like more time for it, we can easily adjust the timeframel but to start with, we're looking at roughly six months.
As always, you can comment or ask us any questions via blog or email! 💜
