What exactly is a big bang? I am confused (sorry if this is a silly question). I write but I assume this isn’t an event for that? Is it only for artists?
Hey there, a Big Bang is actually an event for both writers and artists!!
In a traditional Big Bang, an author will begin writing a fic (usually about 10k words? But each event is different) that an artist will claim. This is done through a selection process called claims. Then they work together to have a story and piece of fanart that coexist to enhance each other!!!
We’re a REVERSE Big Bang, which means we do the opposite. So artists create fanart that we arrange in a selection for authors to claim. Then they write a story to go along with the art (typically shorter than a traditional Big Bang).
They’re called big bangs because everyone in the event posts around the same time so it’s a surge of content for a fandom, hence the name!
Hope this clears that up for you!
