A Big Bang is a fandom event where authors and artists work together on a two-part project. When signing-up, authors submit a summary of the fic theyâll be working on during the event, as well as the rating and relevant tags. Fics are later claimed by artists during two rounds (if
needed) of fic claims. (Details below the break)
For authors:
Your final piece should be:
an Inception fanfic
written for the Big Bang (no reposting of old works)
at least 1500 words
Other than that, we are open to all ships and gen stories!
IMPORTANT: During sign-ups and fic claims the authors are anonymous. This keeps things fun! We want artists to choose based on the fics alone. Donât make posts that give away which fic is yours. After claims, talk to your artist! Keep each other updated - the best thing about a fandom Bang is working with each other!
Frequently asked questions of authors:
How much do I need to write before signing-up?
We recommend writing a summary of your story, the rating, and a couple relevant tags. Remember, what you submit is what we send to the artists! Make it easy to understand your story.
Can I change my mind about my submission?
Before fic claims you can send us updates or even send us a different story altogether. Allâs fair. After fic claims, any big changes should be discussed with your artist. You cannot change the rating from G, T or M into explicit. If you believe your fic might go down that road submit the tag before fic claims.
Can my fic be a crossover?
Sure!
Can it be a continuation of an older work?
Yes, as long the original ficâs name is not included on new piece and the part submitted for the Big Bang has never been shared anywhere else before. Big Bang projects are secret until the reveal date.
Can it be OT3 / Major Character Death / Kink?
Sure! Just keep in mind that the more specific your work is, the harder it may be for one of our artists to connect with it. This is true for anything you may come up with - crossovers, PWPs, squeamish themes, you name it. We encourage creativity! But use the appropriate tags when you send us your summary and consider being flexible if our artists might have a hard time with that one.
Can I submit multiple stories?
Nope!
Is there the possibility of my fic not being claimed?
We work with artists interested in all different kinds of fics! We also have very cool and open-minded pinch-hitters. In our recent years all fics were claimed. That being said, yes, there is the possibility. It ties back into the OT3 / major character death / kink topic â the more specific your work is, the harder it may be for our artists to connect with it. Also, the harder it may be to actually depict the story. Be considerate of our artists when picking the fic to write for the Big Bang.
Can I sign up as both author and artist?
Of course! Just make sure you have the time and resources available to fulfill all the roles you choose!
For artists:
You will be choosing one (or more!) fics to make art for. Between fic claims and the final posting date you and your author will have one and a half months to work on your collaboration.
Your piece should be:
Art drawn or painted, including digital art
Photo manips
Original music
Gifsets (if youâre making them! donât re-use/steal gifs)
Fanvids of at least 45 seconds
Physical crafts like sculpture, knitting, and embroidery
If you want to create something we havenât mentioned here, check in with us first, but chances are youâre fine. As long as it's something you can submit within the deadline itâs fair game.
Frequently asked questions of artists:
How do claims work?
We will make an anonymized master post of all the story summaries available for the Big Bang. To make claims on them, send us an email with your top 3 picks. Fic claims happen on a first come first served basis so try to respond as soon as you can. If needed, we will have a second round of claims.
I'd really like to participate but I'm not sure of my availability - can I still sign-up as an artist pinch-hitter?
Absolutely! We can always use extra help. If you sign-up (only) as a pinch-hitter we will contact you after both rounds of fic claims, or later in the event if weâre needing back-up.
Can I sign-up as both artist and author?
Of course! Just make sure you have the time and resources available to fulfill all the roles you choose!
Most asked question for everyone! XD
Panic time, I wonât be able to make the deadline! What now?
Hey, itâs okay! Life happens, we get it. But keep us updated. Send an email to [email protected] or drop a message to @stormofsharpthings
We can work out extensions, or if you canât complete your piece, we can talk to pinch-hitters. Itâs okay, really, as long as you let us know what's up!
