Now Announcing: Teen Wolf Rarepair Mini/Big Bang
What is a Mini/Big Bang?
Last month the mods of this blog ran a general interest poll to decide what type of event to run. The votes were split fairly evenly between a Big Bang, and a Mini Bang, and we decided to run a combo event.
How will this work?
There will be two tracks for participants to choose from; a Mini Bang or a Big Bang. Whichever track is picked, will determine the timeline and requirements of their challenge.
Mini Bang Track Requirements:
Mini Bang Writers will be required to submit a fic that is between 10k and 20k words.
Mini Bang Artists will be matched with a Mini Bang Writer and be required to submit between 1 and 3 pieces of art based on the fic.
Big Bang Track Requirements:
Big Bang Writers will be required to submit a fic of minimum 40k words, with no maximum word count.
Big Bang Artists will be matched with a Big Bang Writer and be required to submit between 2 and 5 pieces of art based on the fic.
As of right now, we are only allowing one sign up per person. However that might change if we need to balance the number of writers and artists.
Accepted Types of Art:
Traditional art as long as you are able to submit a high quality scan
Hand drawn digital art
Photo edits/manipulations
GIFs
How we Define a Rarepair:
Any ship that has under 5k works on AO3, excluding cross over works. We are excluding cross over works to account for things like kinktober where the rare pair gets maybe five hundred words of focus.
If you voted in our polls you might have noticed originally we said under 10k fics, but we didn’t realize how much sterek’s popularity skewed the results. To account for such a juggernaut ship, we moved the limit down.
Schedule:
All Writer Sign Ups Open: March 1
All Artist Sign Ups Open: April 3
All Sign Ups Close: May 3
All Writers First Check-In, and Summary Due: May 10
Summaries Posted for Browsing: May 13
Summary Claiming: May 27
All Artists First Check In/All Writers Second Check In: July 1
Mini Bang Start Posting: August 15
Last Check In for Big Bang Participants: August 17
Big Bang Start Posting: September 15
We are leaving sign ups open until a week before the first check in. This is to allow writers a chance to get a head start on their fics, and hopefully reduce the number of writers who have to back out due to unforeseen circumstances.
Have someone you want to work with in mind already?
We are allowing for a writer and artist to sign up as a pre-matched pair! So if you and your mutual want that push to finally work together, you can sign up as a unit.
Rules:
No AI. If a participant is caught using AI, they will be blocked and banned.
The ship you are creating for must have less than 5k works on AO3 (excluding crossovers)
All works must be tagged accurately at the time of summary, and when posting to AO3. (If the tags change between summary and posting, that is fine.)
If you are interested:
Follow this blog! We will be posting updates and silly event promo posters we made on this blog. We will also be posting the links to sign ups at the start of March.
And be sure to reblog this post to get the word out!
We’re really excited to run this event and we hope to see you all there!
Edit: Writer Sign Ups are now live!
