Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Big Bang?
A Big Bang is a fandom-wide event, resulting in an explosion of works, where writers write a long fic, and where artists make fanart. It’s a great collaborative project, within a supportive environment, during a 9 month long creation period.How does it work?
Writers arrive with a fic idea at the start of the event. Once they have begun writing, artists select fics to illustrate in an anonymous process, then mods match writer-artist teams. Betas can get summaries of fics from authors and choose who they’d like to work with. They help with what the writer requests: bouncing plot ideas, helping with the flow of the story, correcting spelling and grammar mistakes.What is a Reverse Big Bang?
A Reverse Big Bang is where artists create the artwork first to be used as a "prompt" or "inspiration" piece. Writers select the prompt and write a fanfiction story around the artwork.How does the reverse process work?
The artist works on 2 pieces of artwork during the creation period, after which they will submit a brief description of the image for writers to select. You may choose to draw two related images for one writer to pick or two separate images for two writers.What kind of bang is this?
Both!When can I apply?
All contributor applications will be available at the same time. Please refer to the schedule to find out the closing dates for Writer, Beta or Artist applications.Where can I apply?
Application links are available here!What do I need to participate?
You’ll need an email address, a Discord account, and if you’re applying as a writer, an AO3 account.What is expected of me if I get accepted to the Big Bang as a writer?
► Create a complete, previously unpublished fic for the event that is independent from your previous works (no sequels or prequels are allowed) and meet the word requirement (see here).
► Work closely and communicate regularly with your collaborator partners.
► Keep the setting and plot of your fic a secret, and don’t talk about it publicly outside the event’s server.What is expected of me if I get accepted to the Big Bang as an artist?
► Create at least two pieces of complete, previously unpublished artworks. If you’re paired with one writer, you’ll create two pieces for one fic, but if you’re paired with two, you’ll make one artwork for each fic.
► Work closely and communicate regularly with your collaborator partner(s).
► Keep the details of your illustration a secret, and don’t talk about it publicly outside the event’s server.What is expected of me if I get accepted to the Big Bang as a beta reader?
Work closely and communicate regularly with your collaborator partner(s). Provide technical spelling and grammar corrections, along with language, characterization, structure, and plot feedback to the writers if they ask for it. The extent to which writers decide to incorporate this feedback is up to their own consideration. Keep the setting and plot of the fic a secret, and don’t talk about it publicly outside the event’s server.Do I need to get my fic for the event beta read?
We encourage the fics to be beta-read, however it isn’t required. You can also invite your personal beta(s) to the server if you’d like, or you can be matched with one in the event.How will the matching of artists and writers happen?
Proposals: Contributors must submit the following at the first checkpoint.
► Writers: submit your project proposal, all summaries, tags, and snippets will be shared anonymously.
► Artists: submit completed artworks and a short 1-2 sentence description of your artwork.Selection: A second group of artists and writers will join the server. The will be given the snippets and fill out a survey listing their preferences for fics they might like to work on.Pairings: Mods will make artists:writer pairings. These will be announced on the server.If I apply and get accepted as a writer, is getting art for my fic guaranteed?
Artists have the right to decline any work they do not wish to illustrate, so while we will do our best to match each fic, writers are not necessarily guaranteed an artist partner. However, we try our best to keep an even match of writers and artists, and it is likely that all writers will be paired up. All writers can also still produce a long fic to be proud of with the support of the Big Bang discord community. Other benefits of being in the Big Bang are getting your fic added to the AO3 collection and reblogged by the Tumblr blog. Nevertheless, if you are still concerned about not getting art, we recommend being a writer for the Reverse Bang.Can I apply for multiple roles?
Anonymity in the lead-up to the pairings is very important for this event. For that reason, you can only be accepted as either a writer or an artist. However, you can enlist as a pinch-hitter for either and may be called on to step in if needed.What happens if I need to drop out of the event?
If you need to drop out, please contact a moderator ASAP so they can inform you of the procedure! If you ‘ghost’ and fail to communicate your change in status, you may not be able to participate in next year’s event. Exceptions will be made for extraordinary incidents affecting a participant’s ability to communicate.
What happens if my partner drops out during the event?
If you’re an artist or a beta, you can choose to work with another writer. If you’re a writer, the mods will make every effort to find an artist to fill in for you (this person is called a pinch hitter).Can writers collaborate on fics?
Yes, writers may collaborate on a fic. In this case please indicate so in both of your sign-up forms.What kind of content is allowed?
Your work can be about any ship(s) (or no ships!) The Big Bang is a chance to commit to a big project with an unusual amount of support, so feel free to be creative!Crossovers are strongly discouraged, though, as we can’t guarantee that artists/betas will be familiar or interested in the other fandom, which would make pairings difficult.Are NSFW fics allowed for the event?
Yes, NSFW fics—both Mature or Explicit—are permitted. If a fic has sexual content warranting either of those ratings, however, it must be disclosed on the project proposal so that it’s only shown to artists who are willing and able to see NSFW content. Likewise, a fic’s rating should be disclosed in postings on the appropriate 18+ channels. These designated areas of the server are to be used for these works to brainstorm and discuss these works. If you are unsure, please err on the side of caution. All characters in NSFW works must be aged-up (18+), and adult-child ships or bestiality are not allowed.Who can work on an NSFW fic?
You may only apply to write, beta, or make art for an NSFW fic if you’re over 18. Please direct discussions of your fics (including beta-requests) to the appropriate channels.Can I share part of my fic/art with anyone during the creation period?
We ask you to keep your idea and progress as private as possible except for the Big Bang’s Discord server. This requirement is in order to preserve the anonymity of the writers before the artist pairing process, and to keep the suspense and excitement in the general fandom about the pieces.I already shared some details of my fic before I knew about the Bang. What now?
Let us know in your sign up form! We’ll make case-by-case judgements based on the situation. It’s alright if you’ve previously brainstormed the concept publicly or discussed potential details with friends. Our goal is to preserve anonymity for artist pairings and the posting period, so if you’ve done so, we’d ask that you hide/delete the posts and refrain from further public discussion.Why can’t I write a sequel or spin off based on another/my previous work?
This rule is twofold:
► To preserve the anonymity of the writers for the “identity reveal.”
► So that betas or artists have a standalone work to refer to without spending too much time doing additional background reading and/or getting involved in established lore/world building, beyond what they have already committed to by signing on this project.For the same reason, established original characters (OCs) are also not allowed due to the possibility of revealing the identity of the artist/writer.How do I communicate with my beta/team?
You may contact them directly though private messages, or you can ask a mod to set up a collaboration channel so that you can communicate with a moderator present. Please let a moderator know if you want this set up.
