Frequently Asked Questions
What's a mini-Big Bang?
A Big Bang is a fandom event where writers and artists collaborate to create fun projects in their fandom. We're calling it a mini-Big Bang because Big Bangs are traditionally reserved for long-form fanfiction.
So how long will these fics be?
Our minimum word count is 5,000 words, with a maximum of 25,000, but it's alright if you're a bit under or over these limits!
What kind of content is allowed?
Anything skeleton-related! Any skeleton, from any AU. Any ship or gen fic is allowed, SFW or NSFW. No content type barred!
Is this an all ages event?
All participants must be 18 or older. We are not equipped to moderate a mixed-age space.
How will author-artist matches be made?
First, writers will submit their summaries or drafts anonymously. Artists will then be able to rank several choices of which fics they'd like to work with. We'll be using a formula to assign your picks in the fairest way possible.
What happens with the finished works?
All works will go up on AO3 in a collection, so people can easily find all the event works! Other than that, you can do what you like with your own work and post it wherever you like.
Any questions not answered here can be sent through asks on Tumblr or through DMs on Bluesky.
