Jayvik Reverse Bang 2026 Changes
Hi everyone! As promised, here's our planned changes based on participant feedback for the reverse bang next year.
The WC minimum will be 10k (up from 8k)
No more distinguishing between multichapter fics and oneshots - all must have 10k minimum posted on the assigned day, regardless of how many chapters it takes
One less check in, with a staggered check in style between artists and writers
Adding a "cheerleader" role to the server for those who want to stay and help motivate but can't participate
Establish a strike system for those who are consistently late for check-ins/extensions or do not respond to pings. 3 strikes = removal from the event
Social media prompts for participants to share little details about their work throughout the creation period
Posting in September instead of October (can change depending on the number of groups)
Monthly events in the server such as writer/artist workshops, fic read alongs, etc.
@timegrenades is taking over as social media mod (hi!)
Mod apps will go up from Nov 30 - Dec 7 for: 1 writing mod, 2 art mods, 1 graphics mod, & 3 organizational/discord mods
We aim to get a greater variety of time zones for the mod team to be more available for participants
