What Is A Bang?
A Big Bang, often referred to as a Bang, is a fandom event where writers and artists collaborate. Writers will write a story and artists will create a piece of artwork to go with the story.
You can finder a deeper history on Bangs here.
What is the Ghouls and Gangs DPxDC Bang?
The Ghouls and Gangs is a DPxDC Bang event. It is a crossover bang, which means all fics must include Danny Phantom and Detective Comics (DC). This is our second year running a bang, and so we're expanding what we're doing this year! This year, beta readers will get to claim fic(s) along with artists.
How Does It Work?
Once authors sign up, they can begin writing. The minimum word count is 5000 words. There is no maximum, but please try to be realistic as the idea is for the fic to be finished before artists claim them. The author will write a short summary of their fic which the artists will read and then submit a claim. Claims are on a first come, first serve basis. If multiple people claim a fic, whoever does so first will be the artists to draw for it.
Once paired, the artist will then read the fic and begin to create art for the fic. At the end of the event, the stories and the art will be posted during the same week. This creates an influx of content for the fandom for everyone to enjoy.
