We're back for 2026!
2026 will be our second year hosting the Shakarian Mini-Bang — a fan event for writers and artists, all about our favourite space commander and turian rebel!
What is a mini-bang? A mini bang is a variation of a fandom big bang — an event in which artists and writers collaborate on their works. Big bangs usually require writers to write longer works. Mini bangs require a lower word count, hence the “mini.”
Participating authors will each write a fanfiction of 5,000 words or more. Halfway through the event, the stories will be claimed by artists on a first come-first served basis. Each artist will create (at least) one piece of accompanying fanart for their story. After that, we can start posting our collaborations for all Shakarian fans to enjoy. Meet us at the bar!
Author sign-ups open March 20th! You can see the full 2026 schedule under the cut.
