Calling all Admirals and Cadets, it’s that time of year again! Author sign-ups for 2022’s Star Trek Valentine’s Bang are now live!
The STVB is an 18+ pan-series traditional bang in which authors write fic centered around our theme - romance and the many forms of love - and are paired with interested Beta Readers and an Artist (or Artists) who will illustrate their fic. In any series and in any universe, our event aims to celebrate Infinite Love in Infinite Combinations.Â
Sign-ups will run from today, October the 22nd, until November the 20th. The Star Trek Valentine’s Bang will follow a traditional Bang format (Artists and Betas assigned to Authors). This year we’re introducing word count categories, meaning each author will choose one of three word counts they’d like to reach or work around - 10k, 15k, or 25k+. Upon signing up for the Bang, Authors must submit a basic summary of their fic concept and any warnings and tags that are applicable. Explain the basics in 500 words or less. Authors must also answer the questionnaire attached to the Sign Up forms. This serves as both an Author’s sign-up period and a first check-in. If you’re unsure what you’d like to write yet but know you’d like to participate please let the mod team know.
As always, we’re willing to be flexible with those who would like to participate but have a busy schedule or complications.
Additionally, all those who participated in 2021’s STVB will be receiving an Email containing a link to the Sign-up form and Info Doc (including our rules, schedule, and FAQ) in case they are interested in participating again this year. Those who sign up using the form will also be added to our regular Emailing list, as well as our Discord Server (if applicable), so keep a look out for invitations in the coming days!Â
We can’t wait to get started, and we hope to see you on board!
