What's a Bang and how does it work?

During this event, creators will be trading their works and making art inspired by others'!

The event is split into two: during the first creation period, artists will make a Valzhang work (visual art or writing). It can be anything, any idea or concept the artist wants.

Then the art gets swapped around. During the second creation period, every participant receives a work created by another person during the first half, and they create another work based on it. Depicting a scene from it, making concept art of it, writing a story based on it, etc.

So in short, every person creates two works and receives a "gift" inspired by the first one. If you wrote a fic, you'll receive a companion art piece; if you drew art, you'll receive a companion fic!

What's the schedule?

June 9 - June 31: Sign-ups

July 1 - September 1: First creation period

September 2: First work submission

September 3 - November 3: Second creation period

November 5: Final posting!

What are the rules?

Please keep all works relatively SFW (no explicit sexual content, or graphic violence/gore, for example).

Every fic is expected to be at least 1k words, in English, and with grammar sufficient enough to be comprehensible.

Every art piece is expected to be finished/sufficiently cleaned. The definition of this is subjective and differs case-by-case, so there are no strict standards; just be sensible and make your own judgment about it.

If you need an extension for your work, please let me know at least three days before the deadline of the submissions.

Avoid discussing or posting your work before the final posting date. During the submissions, your work is sent to me personally. Fics can be sent through a PDF/text file. Any image file is fine for art.

If you have a problem with the work you've been paired with, let me know as early as possible so something can be figured out with other participants.

On the day, if posting your works on Tumblr, tag with "vzbang2026".

Have fun!
