cynosure | pairing: magnus/alec | rating: teen and up | chapters: 4/?
written by @eternalalec | beta read by @mirrorofliterature
Once upon a time, in a land of red sands and black seas, a prince is cursed to never find true love. His one salvation may be the mysterious merman fate seems to draw him to. If only time was not running out.
A fairytale-esque story of curses, fate and the price of true love.
written for the shadowhunters big bang 2019
Authors, artists, and betas - welcome to the Shadowhunters Big Bang 2019!
The process
Authors sign up to write a fic and once they’ve got an idea of what they want to do, they share a summary to help betas artists claim the fic they want to work on/create art for. From there, the author works to finish their fic with their beta’s help and the artist works on creating an accompanying art piece before the due date!
Authors, you have two options when signing up: the big bang or the mini bang. The big bang has a minimum word count of 20k and the mini bang has a minimum word count of 10k. They both have the same deadlines, so you can choose whichever challenge you think you’re going to be able to do in the time!
Artists, you can get as creative as you want - every kind of art is welcomed here, whether that’s traditional or digital art, graphics, gifsets, fanmixes, fanvids or something else. You’ll need to make a minimum of one finished piece per fic you claim (though you can do more than that if you feel inspired, of course!).
Betas, you’re the cheerleaders and support system our writers need. Like the writers, you can choose whether you want to beta for a big bang fic or a mini bang fic, depending on how much time you can devote to critiquing and developing your writer’s fic.
Pinch hitters, you’re the saviours of the bang. If one of the artists or betas has to drop out, pinch hitters volunteer to step in.
Deadlines
May 17: sign ups open for writers, betas, artists and pinch hitters
May 23: sign ups close for writers, betas and artists
May 30: summaries due for writers (including rating and trigger warnings)
May 31: fic claims open for betas and artists
June 2: fic claims close
June 3: fic assignments given (depending on whether more rounds of claims are needed)
June 9: sign ups close for pinch hitters
July 1: mid way check in
July 29: final deadline for writers
July 30: final deadline for artists
August 1: posting!
Participation by minors
This is a fandom event open to everyone, but anyone 18 or over must clearly indicate they are an adult when they sign up, whether they are a writer, artist or beta. When claims open, if you are 18 or over it is up to you to make sure you don’t expose any minors to explicit content - this applies equally if your fic is explicit or if your art is explicit.
Accepted works
We’re looking forward to seeing everything you create - AUs, canon!verse, future fic - unleash your creativity!
However, this big bang will not support or endorse any works with the following main, endgame ships: Sebastian | Jonathan Christopher)/anyone, Camille/anyone, Jace/Alec, Alec/any woman, Maia/Jordan, nor will we support works with underage characters/pedophillia.
We also ask that you take care to avoid racist portrayals of characters of colour and homophobic or transphobic portrayals of LGBT characters (which includes mlm fetishisation).
This is the Shadowhunters Big Bang, so works are expected to primarily relate to the TV show rather than book!verse.
Sign up here!
Any questions?
If you have any questions, you can always drop us an ask! We also have an FAQ page on the SHBB19 blog.
Remember to track #shbb19 for all important announcements!
Posting instructions
Hey everyone!
We've almost reached the end of this year's Shadowhunters Big Bang and hope all of you had fun and are ready for posting on August 1st! The mods would like to thank you for participating - we're all very excited to see what you've created!
As a reminder, the deadlines are as follows:
All works MUST be finished by midnight on July 29th
All art MUST be finished by midnight on July 30th
Works cannot be published to Tumblr or other non AO3 sites until August 1st.
To explain how posting and submission is going to work:
AUTHORS
We have created an AO3 collection for this event. All work must be added to this collection before the deadline. The works will be revealed August 1st - this means that even if you add your work early, it will remain hidden until the posting date.
The work itself should include any archive warnings, triggers, and other relevant tags, as well as credit to your artist and beta. The only prerequisite regarding word count is that you hit the one you signed up for, e. g. multi-chapter fics for a 10k mini-bang should have a combined word count of 10k at the time of the deadline regardless of whether the story is finished or not. Your subsequent posting schedule is entirely up to you.
For those posting their fic early to the collection: don't forget that the published date will not be the reveal date and your fic will appear differently on AO3 if sorted by published date.
Tumblr posting will be done by the artists (see below). Should you not have an artist, or just want to post it yourself as well, please dont forget to tag it #shbigbang2019 so we can see and reblog it!
ARTISTS
Art must be posted on August 1st to Tumblr. Please link the corresponding fic and follow the tumblr posting instructions:
Please use the #shbigbang2019 tag and @shbigbang in the text!
ON THE SHBIGBANG BLOG

As always, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us via email or ask on Tumblr - we're happy to help!
SUMMARY SUBMISSION IS OPEN
If you’ve signed up as a writer, submit your fic summary HERE.
Summary submissions are due 30 May. Please make sure you get your summary in ahead of time so you’re not late!
Summaries must include:
a synopsis of the fic
the rating the fic will be given - use your judgement, but err on the side of caution and pick the rating above if you’re not sure (this is because we don’t want any minors to be exposed to explicit content)
any warnings or triggers the fic includes
the main ship and any side or background ships
whether it’s a bitty bang (5k), mini bang (10k) or big bang (20k)
These summaries don’t have to be like a summary on AO3 (though they can be) and if your fic isn’t entirely sketched out yet, you don’t need to worry! As long as your overall idea and the main aspects of your fic are there, that’s fine. The purpose of the summaries is to provide betas and artists with as much information about the fic as possible, so they know whether they want to claim it.
Please make sure you think about your summary before you submit it. As a general rule, we won’t accept changes to summaries until the writing process has begun proper (i.e after claims are over), so please think carefully about your fic before you submit your summary.
!! SIGN UPS ARE STILL OPEN UNTIL SUNDAY 26 MAY !!
We’re still accepting writers, betas, and pinch hitters who want to join us in this event until tomorrow, 26 May.
Calling all artists!
We need more artists to take part in the bang to ensure every team has an artist.
We take every kind of art: whether that’s traditional or digital art, graphics, gifsets, fanmixes, fanvids or something else. You’ll need to make a minimum of one finished piece per fic you claim.
Please consider signing up! You can fill out the form here.
If you have any questions, feel free to shoot us an ask!
Fic assignments are OUT
The claims have now been finalised and a form with all the necessary information published. So please check your e-mail to see who you’re working with! And if you haven’t received said e-mail please message us asap so we can sent it to you.
A few fics have not been claimed yet - so if you’ve signed up as a pinch hitter or are willing to take on another assignment please take a look at the assignments document and check the fic summaries for additional content warnings. More information can be found in the e-mail,
Quick reminder that your next deadline is the mid way check-in on July 1st - until then, happy creating!
As always, if there are any problems or questions feel free to reach out, we’re happy to help!
hello there! so i’m an artist, I have ALL day to upload the art right??? bc i’m unexplectedly out and won’t be able to post the already finished artwork until I get home late tonight. 😬
hey, art was due to be posted on 1st august (up until midnight on 2nd august) so post whenever you can now!
i have my artwork but the fic hasn’t been uploaded and the writer isn’t answering me?
no problem. please come off anon and we’ll get in touch with the author - they might be planning to post today as there seems to have been some confusion around the deadline.
alternatively, you can post your art now and add the fic link in later.
"All work must be added to this collection before the deadline. The works will be revealed 1 August - this means that even if you add your work early, it will remain hidden until the posting date." I'm sorry but does this mean that the deadline for adding the fic to the collection is august first (or july 31st)? Or by midnight today, when the fics are supposed to be finished?
Sorry if it wasn’t clear, the writers’ deadline was 29th July so all works (ideally) needed to be added to the AO3 collection by then.
The collection has just been revealed but you can still add your fic today!
