A big bang is an event where writers and artists collaborate with each other. Participants sign up as a writer and/or an artist; The authors submit a summary to a form made by mods, and the artists pick their favorite summaries from the sheet mods create that has summaries in it. Mods pair up artists and writers, and the teams work together to create a fic (length depends on what tier writer signs up for) and artwork (the number of artworks depends on what tier the artist signs up for) based on the summary.
Where can I see the tiers?
You can see them by clicking here!
Our applications are not open yet. You can follow our blog, and sign up when they open (from September 16 to December 22). We will post updates when they are open.
Is NSFW allowed? Who can create NSFW works?
NSFW is allowed, but the necessary warnings and tags are required when posting. Any works without necessary warnings and tags will not be allowed in the AO3 collection or reblogged. Minors are not allowed to create NSFW works, they can only create G and T rated works, but adults can create any (G, T, M, E, or not rated).

Can I sign up both as a writer and an artist?
Yes you can, as long as you believe you can finish both of your pieces!
Can I join with two different fics/ create art for two different fics?
Again, yes, if you think you can handle working with two different teams to create two different pieces.

What should I do if I can't meet a deadline?
We will email an extension form for any check-ins and deadlines you think you may miss, but please make sure to check if you can meet the deadlines, as they are made to make sure you can finish your work in time.
No, dropping out after 3rd check-in (March 6-8) will result with the penalty of not being accepted to any other events the mods of this bang may organize in the future.
What is a pinch hitter? What happens if my artist/writer drops out? How can I drop out?
Pinch hitters are artists or writers who step in when someone drops out for any reason. Participants may have to drop out because of the workload, it's completely understandable that sometimes schedules get too hectic in real life. That’s where pinch hitters step in.
If someone drops out before claims, there won't be any problems with any teams.
If a writer drops out, the artist will be given two choices. They can work with another team, so that team would have 2 artists; Or they can request a pinch hitter writer. If they do request a pinch hitter, a pinch hitter writer will take over the abandoned summary and create a new fic for it, so the artist won't have to create a new piece for a new summary.
If an artist drops out, a pinch hitter artist will be assigned to the writer's team.
If you wish to drop out, a drop out form will be emailed to all participants, and will be shared on this bang's Discord server. You will need to inform a writer, and fill out the form to drop out.
How will the posting work?
We will create an AO3 collection for our writers on AO3. Participants can share their work on any social media platforms, but they need to link it to Tumblr or Twitter and tag our blog. If they don't use Tumblr or Twitter, they can contact a mod and discuss how the posting will happen for them.
A more detailed explanation for the posting progress will be emailed to our participants before the posting period.
If you have any other questions, feel free to send us an ask or reach out to mods. You can also reach us by sending an email to us: [email protected]
