The Senshi & Shitennou Mini Bang 2020 is here!
Artist and Author Sign Ups are OPEN until Tuesday 31 March 2020!
Welcome one and all to Senshi & Shitennou Mini Bang 2020! We’re so glad you’re here and we hope you’re as eager to get started as we are because we’ve got so many cool things going on!
As is tradition, we’re alternating in between Mini Bangs and Reverse Mini Bangs. The 2019 ReverseMini Bang produced some amazing art (which kinda still has us gaping in awe, to be honest) and the fics! (Incidentally, if you would like to see/read them, the master list is available here).
This year we’re running the Mini Bang again, so Authors will be the ones to create work which will inspire Artists. We had some great collaboration between our Artists and Authors previously and we’re hoping to not only replicate, but increase that this year, too!
To start with, let’s reveal our theme for the SSMB 2020:
“Red”
Sounds broad and super open to interpretation? Well, it is. Just like last year’s theme, you can be as literal or as metaphorical with it as you’d like. Wanna write a Sailor Mars-centric fic? How about one which focusses on Nephrite (his artbook and PGSM uniforms had red in them, after all...)? Like the idea of Tuxedo Kamen throwing roses left, right and centre while the Senshi and Shitennou watch in awe? Do it! What about red being the colour of war? All of the end-of-the-Sil-Mil fics!!!! Valentine’s Day fics? Christmas fics? Samurai AUs? Cold War spy AU fics? Yes yes yes yes! How about a Romeo & Juliet AU set in two opposing vineyards? Or a Crystal Tokyo fic where red haired Zoisite makes a impassioned speech to Ami about fate? Ooooh! What about a noir AU filled with... red herrings! XD XD XD
Red is for Love! Wine! Rust! Energy! Telephones! Lust (a-wink, a-wink)! Vampires! Poppies! Lipstick! Strength! War! Mars! Passion! Carpets... for famous people XD ! Strawberries! Fire! Firemen! Romance! Happiness! Luck! Anger! Adventure! Weddings! Christmas! Valentine’s Day! Dragons! The Tango! Cherry pie! Lumberjacks! Tartan! Roses! Circus tents! Red Riding Hood! Envelopes! Tomatoes and Chilies (and thus many delicious dishes)! Life! Rubies! Celebration! Drama! Red Dawns!
The possibilities are endless!
New features for 2020!
Last year we piloted our free e-zine (where the art from the Bang was collated) and we’re happy to announce we’re doing it in this one, too! (incidentally, here’s the e-zine and the bonus e-zine).
This year we’re also introducing achievement badges! (See the FAQ for more details).
