❤️ FAQ & Masterpost 💛

— What is a bang? —

A bang is an event that pairs writers and artists together to work on a project. Writers will pitch fic summaries, after which artists will choose the one they like on a first-come-first-serve basis to make art for. All works will then be posted under one AO3 collection.

Big Bangs: Large-scale bangs that require longer fics of >10k words, and multiple artworks.

Mini-Bangs: A smaller version of big bangs with shorter word count requirements (~3k–10k words) and one required artwork.

Reverse Bangs: Bangs where artists pitch their art ideas first, and writers claim the pieces to write fics for.

— What type of bangs are there? —

Bangs are typically created to centre around a holiday, trope, or AU. E.g. Christmas, fairytale, smut. List of Poolverine bangs that are in progress or have been done:

— What are the different roles? —

WRITERS AND ARTISTS

For normal bangs, writers will submit fic summaries, tags and ratings, and visual elements (specifics will depend on the bang). These will then be collated anonymously. Artists will pick their top few choices on a first-come-first serve basis, after which pairings will be announced, and the writer and artist will work together until the deadline.

Participants can sign up to be both writer and artist, but will not be able to participate in the first round of fic claims for fairness' sake.

PINCH-HITTERS

Pinch-hitters are participants that are willing to take on another project should a fic be left unclaimed, or should someone drop out of the event post-pairing. This will also be on a first-come-first-serve basis.

BETAS

All writers can choose to be betas as well, and can offer to help read through fics if requested.

— Other information —

SOCIALS: For bangs hosted on this blog, all participants must have a Discord account so that we can disseminate information all in one place.

TIMELINE: Bangs will typically take place over the course of a few months, from the sign-up period to the deadline. Mini-bangs will ideally give participants around 2 months to work on their collaborations, and normal bangs will have a longer timeline to fit the requirements. AO3 collections will be open for around a month from the time posting begins.

*Disclaimer:

This is not an official bang account, aka anyone else can host any bang if they so wish. This is just an account to collate all the bang events that I and my friends feel like hosting!!
