Welcome Back To Spiderverse Big Bang 2026!
Time to swing into action, Spider!
Whether your mission is to write, draw, beta-read, or do all of them at once, the Spider-Society HQ is happy to welcome you in its halls for another year a spidery shenanigans!
Author Sign-Up Form: open from April 18th to May 17th (NOW CLOSED) Artist and Pinch-Hitter Sign-Up Form: open from April 18th to July 5th Beta Sign-Up Form: open from April 18th to July 5th
Your mission:
- If you are an author, you are expected to write a story of a minimum of 7,000 words between the months of April and November. There is no upper word count limit, but beware not to bite more than you can chew! (We all know too well those stories that started as one-shots and ended up being several chapters long hehe). Please note that you are expected to submit a minimum of a 700 words draft at sign up (although we do recommend for the length of this draft to be closer to 10% of your final word count if it is higher than 7k)! - If you are an artist, you are expected to make at least one illustration for the story you will be paired with.
This event is open to all levels! Whether you’re a beginner artist or writer, or you’re already fully seasoned in your craft, the Spider-Verse Big Bang’s doors are open to you~
Spider-Verse Big Bang welcomes every version of Spider-Man and affiliated characters; it is not limited to just the animated movies! So if you have a story inspired by any media where spider-people are featured, you’re more than welcome to come tell it with us!
New 2026 change
This year comes with some new improvements!
Posting Schedule
In 2026, we are getting rid of posting dates entirely; instead we will have a posting week!
During the first week of November, every participant will be expected to post the minimum required for the event: this means 7000 words for the authors, and one illustration for the artists. Longer stories and additional illustrations can be posted throughout the rest of the month. More details and caveats in the FAQ!
Schedule and link to rules under the cut!
