I really hope that we’ll have enough participants to be able to put this event on the road.

Hi! All creators will work on their square(s) solo. However, when team channels will open on the discord server, you can decide to claim a free square with an other creator (who is your teammate) in tandem if you’d like to. This means that you can write a story with a co-author, for example, to fill a square.

How the creating process will go...

A creator claims a square and they will write a short story or make art to fill that square. They’ll have to wait with the posting of their work(s) until the posting period. Until it’s time for posting, they can lean back and be happy about the job done or they can work on an other fill if there’s any free, unclaimed squares left on their team card.

It’s really like a simple bingo challenge with two little twists:

1. There’s a scheduled posting time.

The MARVEL Team Bingo Card is now available for preview.

Take a look, or several, and if any of the squares inspire you to write and/or create something new amazing fanwork for the Marvel fandom, don’t hesitate to sign up to the Bingo Bang.

In case you have any more questions, you can send me an ask or an email any time.

Dear Anon! Thank you for the question.

In the 1st round of claims, Creators will claim one bingo square from their team card. In case there are unclaimed squares after the 1st round, a 2nd round will happen.

In the 2nd round of claims, Creators will have the opportunity to claim a second square, and Pinch hitters will also be able to claim a square for themselves, so they will not have to wait until the hand over process to take part in the event.

Hopefully, the number of participants/claimed squares in each team will be even after the claims. And even if it happens, nothing guarantees that both team will be able to fill all of the squares on their team cards at the end, since there are always participants who have to withdraw for a reason. But this is where team comes to the rescue, so to say.

Individually, a Creator should do their best to fill their claimed squares by the deadline. As a team, a Creator can not only cheer their teammates during the creative process, but they can help the team out when a teammate has to drop out. There will be Pinch hitters, of course, but at this event, Creators can take over a square from a withdrawn teammate to fill - teammate Creators can also pair up to work together on an abandoned square if they would like to (but not on their originally claimed squares). To make things easier for the teams, there will be a Discord server where teammates can communicate with each other during the event.

I’m happy to announce that the very first edition of the DC/Marvel Bingo Bang is open for sign-ups.

You can sign up as a Creator and/or a Pinch hitter.

Please check out the Schedule and read the Rules and FAQ before making your decision.

The Team Bingo Cards will be available for preview on 20th September.

The number of participants who will be able to sign up to the event is limited, so you should not leave the filling of the sign-up form to the last minute. ;)

Hello to Everyone!

I'm here to present the event that originally got me to make this blog in the past. It's called the DC/Marvel Bingo Bang.

In a nutshell, the DC/Marvel Bingo Bang is a peaceful bingo ‘war’ between fanworkers from the two universes. It’s a Bingo, because there’ll be one bingo card for each universe. It’s a Bang, because it’s a collaboration between artists and authors - however, this collaboration is not based on the same rules as a normal Mini/Big Bang. And there’s even more! The bingo prompts are for both artists and authors, so it’s also a Reverse Bang in a way.

About the collaboration… At this Bang the participants will not claim a story or art from another fanworker, they will claim a bingo square they would like to make fic/art for, and they finish their fill by the deadline. And that’s it. The collaboration at this Bang means that there will be two teams: Team DC and Team Marvel. The challenge is to fill as many bingo squares as possible on each team card. In the end, the winner is the team with the bingo card that has the most filled squares. Sounds exciting, right?

Minimum fanwork requirements:

fanfiction: 1000 words

fanart (traditional or digital): 1 image

gifset: 6 images

mood board: 6 images

playlist: 10 songs (cover art is optional)

fanvid: 60 seconds

One more important detail: The Bang is not limited to any ships/characters. You can make fanworks about any characters and relationships, whatever floats your boat, until you create in the DC or the Marvel universe (be it comic/movie/series). There’s only one thing that’s not allowed when it comes to characters, and that’s RPF.

The schedule is already available!

A more detailed ‘rules and guidelines’ post will come soon.

After contacting some participants, extensions were given until December 31. So if anyone haven’t got their gift yet, please don’t worry. Everyone will get a gift, I will see to it!
