This summer, our Captain America/Iron Man Tiny Reverse Bang returns and in twenty days we'll start accepting submissions!

Artists can then send in traditional art, digital art, photographed craft work, moodboards, manips and fanvids that will inspire creators during the writing phase. We also invite podficcers and fanvidders to let themselves be inspired!

2024 Schedule:

Friday, July 19th: Art posting and writing period begins. The challenge period will run until September.

Please read through our TRB Guidelines page for more information and the submission rules.

We look forward to seeing your work!

The Cap-IM Big Bang is one of cap-ironman's oldest challenges. Writers in the fandom work on their longfics until draft submissions in September, after which artists will claim fics to begin the collaborative stage of the challenge. Mod activity begins in April/May and extends into the first week or so of December.

The Tiny Reverse Bang is a mid-year challenge, run as a flashworks, low-commitment version of RBB. Artists submit artworks which are then revealed weekly. Creators are invited to create fills for as many as or as few works as they’d like, and at the end of each week there is a round-up of works created. This year's TRB modding will take place May - September.

If you are over 18 and would be interested in teaming up with the comm mods to help mod this year’s Big Bang or Tiny Reverse Bang, please send us an email at [email protected] expressing your interest and any experience you might have.

Whether you have previous experience with taking part in or modding a fandom challenge or community, or are just looking to get more involved with the Cap-IM comm, we’re happy to hear from you!

Potential responsibilities:

Answering emails and other questions/comments about the event via Tumblr etc.

Advertising for the event, including posting on LJ, DW, Pillowfort, Tumblr, Discord and Twitter (note that we have mod accounts so you don’t need to personally be on the platform).

Round 6 has wrapped up with our two final fanwork prompts for the 2024 Cap-IM Tiny Reverse Bang. Thank you to all our wonderful creators for sending in their artworks and to our speedy fanwork-fillers, who have already created some lovely accompanying fanworks inspired by this year's TRB submissions.

We would now like to announce our Amnesty Week!

From now until the end of September 6th, anybody can create fic, fanvids or podfics for the artwork prompts that were revealed in the six rounds of the 2024 TRB. If you started a ficlet, or missed a week and didn't get round to posting, now is the time! Maybe a prompt has grown on you, or a Cap-IM Bingo card has provided the perfect complement to kickstart a fic! Challenge yourself to some last minute drabbles and earn your badges!

All fanwork fills will be included in our final Tiny Reverse Bang roundup.

Rules and information on how to participate and post can be found here!

To see the existing fills for the prompts, check out our AO3 Collection. You can browse and leave feedback on all the fanwork prompts in our 2024 TRB Submissions Collection on AO3 or follow the link to each fanwork below:
