Hello, everyone! I know it’s been awhile since I’ve hosted an event, but I’m bringing back the yjficexchange Mini Big Bang!
A Big Bang is a fandom event where authors and artists work together to create something great together! The author writes a fic and the artist creates an accompanying piece of artwork. Typically, Big Bang fics are over at least 10k words, but the minimum length has been reduced to 5k, hence mini (though longer fics are appreciated, too!)
The purpose of this Mini Big Bang is to bring the fandom together, writers and artists, as we continue to celebrate the impending return of our favorite Team!
Timeline: April 1st–July 4th
Minimum Fic Length of 5k
Minimum One piece of art per story
Fic content is entirely up to the author, as long as it is about Young Justice, the submitted prompt has the Mod’s approval, and it follows the yjficexchange’s community guidelines. Art must also be within the guidelines.
Signups are due April 1st for authors and April 5th for artists.

Detailed Guidelines and Timelines are below the cut.
RE: Check Ins, do not feel bad if you don’t have a lot of progress to show at check in time. the creative process is different for everyone. Check Ins are only meant to help you if you need beta-like input to help you keep up with the deadlines or your partner and keep going!
WRITERS
Post fic on Tumblr, making sure to tag this page and your artist. (ex. I wrote this for the @yjficexchange Mini Big Bang! @blank made art that goes with it!)
If longer than 1k, put a majority of the fic under a Read More.
Message yjficexchange or your assigned mod with a link to your fic.
Your fic will then be reblogged and tagged according to your event. If no link is on the post, Mod will add a link to the accompanying artwork. Please try to ask your artist for a link before you post.
ARTISTS
Post art on Tumblr, tagging @yjficexchange and the fic author in the post.
