FAQs
What is a Big Bang?“A Big Bang (or “Bang” for short) is a type of challenge involving long fics and accompanying artwork. This is a reprise of the old zine tradition between collaborating artists and writers for internet fandoms.Creators will be paired into teams of writers, artists, and sometimes betas! The writer will create a new work for the event, and the artist will create accompanying artwork!▽Is this Bang open to all ages?No, this is an 18+ event. Sorry!▽What kind of content is allowed?Short answer, all content is allowed. However, you are responsible for adequately tagging your work for all potential warnings and triggers.▽Are poly ships allowed?Of course, so long as ShigaDabi is involved!▽I want to sign up with a friend as my artist or writer, can I?Yes! You will both need to sign up and both declare the other as your partner in the provided field.▽I’m just a reader, but can I join the Discord server?Yes! Our Discord will be open to cheerleaders.▽I don’t have a Discord account. I wish to communicate solely via email, Twitter, or Tumblr. Can I do that?No, sorry! All communication and check-ins will take place via Discord, so it’s necessary to have an account and join the server. Both an account and the app are free!
Requirements
What are the minimum requirements for artists?TL;DR: At least one fully finished piece. What this means for you might look different, but...Our check-ins will be using sketch, line art, flat colors, and render/finish as our general guidelines of completion.However, if your art is non-traditional (meaning, not an illustration) or your art style/this particular piece doesn’t fit neatly into these benchmarks, don’t worry!
This is just a general guide.▽What kind of art mediums are allowed?Both illustrative and non-traditional art! Writers will be able to specify what type of artwork they would like to receive.Types of non-traditional art suggested in our interest check includes (but is in no way limited to): animation, AMV (anime music video), comics, cosplay, edits, fic graphics, moodboards, playlists, and other non-illustrative art in traditional mediums.▽What are the minimum requirements for writers?Our minimum word count is 5,000 words.For multi-chaptered works, you do not have to post the entire fic all at once, but you must post at least 5k by your posting date. Ideally, we would hope that you are able to post up to the scene your companion art corresponds to.▽Can I participate with a sequel to a pre-existing work of mine?Yes, provided that it can be read as a stand alone, and that it has not been posted previously.▽Can I participate with a fic that I have already started or partially posted?No, sorry!
Posting
I don’t have an Ao3 account. Can I post a fic solely on social media?Every fic must be posted to Archive of Our Own so we can add it to the event’s collection. (Though you are allowed to post it to other sites in addition to Ao3, if you wish to!) If you need an invitation to join, you can get one directly on the site, or ask us for one.▽How do I credit my partners?Accompanying art must be embedded into the fic itself. Both your artist (and beta, if you have one!) must be appropriately credited with their name and a link to their social media.▽What about posting for artists, or posting on social media in general?Please post your works on Twitter and/or Tumblr! Use the hashtag #ShigaDabiBB2022 and please mention us in your post so that we can promote your lovely works!
