To Be Hero X MINI-BANG! Artist Sign-Up Form

Hi, artists! This is the official Artist Sign Up for the TBHX Mini Bang! You will be assigned to an author's fanfic and expected to make a

Thank you so much to everyone for your patience. Our writers have submitted some FASCINATING fic pitches, and now its time to pair them with your art! To keep the mystery alive, their pitches will be shared with you after sign-ups. This form will ask your character/genre preferences to pair you manually, so that every participating fic gets artwork, and everyone can support each other!

As a reminder, this is not an accept/reject event. This is a celebration of To Be Hero X, collaborating as a fandom to make new fanworks together! These sign-up forms are not to accept or deny any participant, but to help assign you to the projects you will be most interested in. To ensure all participants have enough time to work together, communicate their ideas, and create their pieces, the Artist Sign-ups will close on May 18th!

Thank you, we look forward to working with you!

Thank you, artists, for your support!

So far we’ve gotten 30 Artist signups! That’s incredible!

And with so many of you saying you could do some additional spot art, that’s shaping up to be SO MUCH art for our Author’s amazing fics!!

The sign-ups are still open and will remain open until May 18th, so if you’re an artist who wants a little push to draw something new, or who wants to celebrate TBHX with some collab works, there’s still plenty of time to join us!

This is not an accept/deny event; everyone is welcome! You’ll tell us how much you feel capable of drawing, and what interests you the most. Then, the mod team matches you to our Author’s submitted pitches.

Sign up form is here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdXjBm-E9Veg9O4rI2S-YZfML3Fj8GAk0GHYaG7_ic7CoVlkw/viewform?usp=send_form

Remember to share with your fellow fic writers, so we can celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the Season Finale with a bunch of new fics and collaboration among your fellow heroes! Yayyyy!

Are there any more details on what kind of pitches would work for the event? :) I usually write slice of life / angst with rarepairs, so I was just wondering if the mini bang is to be more fun, action oriented perhaps, or really anything can be submitted within the guidelines you gave already. Sorry for bothering with this 😅 and thank you for organizing this event! 🫶

Thank you for your patience! Tumblr has been giving some trouble actually hitting “post” for this reply…

The mini-bang can be any new work you’d like to write that fits into the general content guidelines of no-sex-no-gratuitous-violence. Slice of Life or rare-pair fics are absolutely fine! 

We are asking that works submitted to this are NEW works, however. One of the rules is that no part of your mini-bang submission should be posted or shared before the reveal date, so this rule would include “sequel” fics where the plot is a continuation of an existing posted work. 

This is also because we don’t believe it to be fair to allow some writers to submit works they have already been writing and working on beyond the event timeframe, while others write the 5k strictly within the dates of the event. 

While we are trying to encourage collaboration between artists and writers in this fandom, we don’t want the mini-bang to be used as a way to get “free commissions” of artwork for an existing fic or series. We would like these works to be a new project. (If the plot hook has been sitting in your WIP list for a while, or an idea you’ve thought about before, that’s fine! We ask that you do not submit a piece you have actively started writing.)

Thank you so much for your interest and we look forward to writing with you!!!

Artist emails have all been sent!

If you submitted an artist sig. up and did not get an email from us, please check your spam! If it’s still not there, please send a message either here or to tbhx.writingevents@gmail !!

How many fic pitches would we be able to submit? I have multiple ideas but I have low confidence in all of them

As of right now, we are thinking the formal sign-up form for Writers with pitch info will include space for up to 5 pitches, and then a way to rank them 1-5 on which you are most excited to write/confident in writing.

If you feel you can complete more than one fic to the minimum wordcount benchmark, great! There will be a way to note this on the form as well (in the same way Artists will be asked to specifically number the amount of works they feel they can complete, and to what degree, within the deadline.)

As for the confidence, you can always borrow our Trust! That's the point of this, to inspire and collaborate and uplift each other's pieces, to work together as a fandom, and a team, to make folks feel seen with their work! You're signing on to make something, to share something, and that is so inspiring! A huge accomplishment in itself! Have faith that we love your work because you made it!

For this event, there will be a team of cheerleaders behind you; the Artists working on art with you, your fellow Writers working on their own pieces to share, us moderators excited to help you reach your goal, and a fandom full of people excited to see your new works! Let's build that confidence together. You've got our Trust in you. We'll all do our best!
