The Terror Big Bang

A collaborative 15k+ fic & art creation challenge. Author sign-ups open March 31st!

[The Terror Big Bang @TerrorBigBang]

Hello one and all!

We are up and running and have a full modified schedule due to our late start. Crucially, none of the time frames have changed. You the participant will not have any less time to complete your fics and art, we'll just be ending in September rather than August

So so glad to finally be able to share my art for @TerrorBigBang !!! Please go give @hms_rev lots of love- their hard work and care shines through their incredible writing, and I’m beyond honored to have been able to work with them!!!

[The Terror Big Bang @TerrorBigBang]

@joe_starwalker Brilliant! We’re excited to see what you come up with!!

And just to be clear, for the purposes of the Bang, any translation you may or may not do is completely up to you and doesn’t need to happen to any of the Bang deadlines. It wouldnt be fair to ask you to write twice as much

[The Terror Big Bang @TerrorBigBang]

Author sign-ups for The Terror Big Bang are open!

The sign-up form is here: https://t.co/wW1gH9ac14

Reminders:
+ Signing up indicates intent to write a 15k minimum fic over the course of the event period.

[The Terror Big Bang @TerrorBigBang]

@joe_starwalker some discussion of the fic is to be expected (as we cannot guarantee the artists that participate would speak a particular language).

[The Terror Big Bang @TerrorBigBang]

@joe_starwalker All languages are accepted! You’re very welcome to write you fic in Russian, and while a translation would be lovely, eventually, it’s not required.
The matching process would be in English and it’s likely that discussing with your paired artist would also be in English so
