How it works

What is a Big Bang?
A Big Bang is a collaborative event where writers and artists work together to create a story for the event theme and an artwork inspired by that story.
Writers start by drafting a story idea and submitting a short blurb about their concept.
Artists then choose the stories they find inspiring.
The team will match every artist to one of their selected stories. Each Pair then develops their pieces together and posts them on the final reveal date.What is a Reverse Bang?
A Reverse Bang is identical in structure except the positions of artist and writer are swapped.
Artists submit a sketch first, and writers claim the artwork they’d like to build a story around.What does the process look like?
This event can be broken into six phases.Preparation (You are here)
This is where we do interest checks, and fill empty moderation roles, and prepare the discord server accordingly.This part is mostly behind the scenes. But is an excellent opportunity to get your preferences heard!Sign-Ups
Participants fill out a simple form to join as a writer, artist, or pinch-hitter.
You will be asked for certain mandatory information like your discord handle, the name you wish to use, and confirming that you are of age to participate.There will be a few questions, such as wether you would like a beta, that are optional and can be changed later.You will be contacted to inform you of the results. There is no minimum skill requirement, however there is limited space so your spot is not guaranteed.Blurb or Art Submissions
For a Big Bang: Writers turn in short summaries of their story idea. (100~ words)
For a Reverse Bang: Artists turn in a sketch. It can be extremely rough.This is not the stage for polish.These are compiled into a claims gallery.Claims Day
Participants browse the gallery and submit their top choices.
We will likely ask you to chose five.This part of the process is anonymous and the submissions will not be tagged by creator in the gallery.You will be given the opportunity at this stage to indicate privately any creators you don’t wish to be paired with.
You do not need to justify your list. We trust our participants to use this option respectfully.Mods match teams, then announce the pairings.Creation Period
This is where the collaboration really begins!Each team will get a private room to bounce ideas, share references, spam emojis, whatever floats your boat!Writers draft their fics and Artists create their illustrations for the same story. Teams support each other and share ideas, while working.There will be periodic check-ins to make sure everyone is on track.
These check-ins help identify if anyone needs support and make sure noone is abandoned without a team.Posting & Reveals
On the final posting date, all teams share their completed works.
Teams should coordinate to post at similar times so that their works can be enjoyed together.Further details about posting and collections will be released closer to the date.

Q & A

Why "Mini" Bang?
This is a great question. In this case the "mini" refers to two aspects of our event: The number of contributors and the minimum requirements for that contribution.A Bang generally involves collaboration of many creators to make fully rendered works and fleshed out stories.
While it is possible that with enough interest the scope may change, the current goal is to have a small to moderate group of creators.Our goal is to be an event for all 🌈🦌fans. In order to be accessible to all skill levels and schedules we are aiming for a less strenuous set of requirements.Our Mini Bang wants to focus more on the enjoyment of the pairing in a low pressure environment that leaves plenty of room to enjoy the creation process.Again, at this stage it is possible for the interest check to cause changes. Be sure to check back once the results are posted!What kinds of mods are you looking for?
We want to have at least one mod for every ten participants. Currently we expect to need a total team of 2-4.All mods will be responsible for managing conflicts and potentially handing out warnings, time-outs, and bans.In addition to that we need support in the following areas:Discord
The project needs someone skilled in operating discord's functions. This mod will be largely responsible for server maintenance and the creation of necessary rooms, polls, threads, and more.Writing and/or Art mod(s)
These mods will be responsible for being the first contact of their respective creator group.
They will also be responsible for monitoring the check-ins and server channels for their contributors.
These mods will ensure all content meets the rules and requirements of the event.Do you have office hours?
Okaaay. So technically nobody asked this, but it's good information regardless.There are soft office hours for social media communications:
From Noon - 1:00pm and 7:00pm - 8:00pm EST.
Outside of those times availability will be variable.Note: these hours account for social media communications only.
Communication through the event discord will have a significantly broader range of hours.
