#dmlthbb: announcements

[dimilethbigbang]

Will there be an event this year?

Hello! Thank you for your interest!

Unfortunately, the mod team has put off hosting any additional events at the moment due to real life busyness. However, you are more than welcome to check out the Dimileth Big Bang collection over on AO3!

[dimilethbigbang]

The Dimileth Big Bang is almost upon us! 

This July on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, we will reveal some of the fics and artworks our talented authors and artists have been working at since January! 

We can’t help but feel excited to see all of the pieces completed next month. Which fics are you most excited to see this upcoming July?

Do you love Dimileth? Are you looking to stretch yourself as a creator and work collaboratively? We are announcing the interest check for the first ever Dimileth Big Bang! This is a bang dedicated to the relationship between Byleth Eisners of all genders and Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd. The interest check will run until October 20, 2021.

Fill out the interest check here!

We have an overview that explains what a big bang is and basic requirements for the event. Once we’ve closed the interest check, we’ll update with a full schedule, complete author/artist guidelines, a FAQ, and more.

Please reblog to spread the love! In the meantime, learn more about the Dimileth Big Bang on our tumblr, check out our carrd, or follow us on twitter for more updates.

The Dimileth Big Bang Beta Reader Signups have opened! If you’re interested in helping a writer take their piece to the next level, sign up here!

We ask all potential beta readers to have a Discord, as they are all required to join the Dimileth Big Bang Discord server.

We’re very excited to share with you guys our writer proposals for this year’s Dimileth Big Bang! All of these prompts are from writers without an artist partner. 

What does that mean? That these fanfics will go without an illustration unless an artist offers up their talents to help compliment their fic! If you're an artist interested in the bang, you can claim your top picks once the artist claims/signups open this Saturday, Feburary 12th! For more details, please read our guidelines and our FAQ!

In the artist signup form, you will be asked to state your top picks right away. If a prompt gets more than 3 artists claiming it, it will be removed from the Slide Deck. As such, we recommend that you read over the Slide Deck and make your choices on which pieces you’d like to illustrate as soon as possible!

Happy New Year! With the writer signups coming up soon (January 9th 2022!) we’ve updated our guidelines, FAQ and tag list so that writers can prepare to start the bang in earnest. We’re very excited to see what stories you have in store. We plan to start posting our stories within 180 days, which is quite exciting!

You can consult the guidelines, FAQ, and tag list here on Tumblr or on our Carrd page!

Hello Dimileth Big Bang participants! 

As stated through our email and discord channels, the time for Check-in #3 will only run from May 15th at 00:00 until 23:59 PDST. This is in order to have more time to make the reveal calendar, since we will be asking for that during your check-in. We will divulge the reveal calendar in early July, so please look forward to that!

We recommend to answer the form as quickly as possible, before it closes!

Public Discussion Embargo Lifted 3/9

We are lifting the embargo on public discussion of your projects as of 12:01AM PST on Wednesday, March 9th, 2022. (Just in time for #WIPWednesday!) This means you can (finally!) talk about your bang fics/art on social media, including other discords, twitter, tumblr, and anywhere else you post!

Please keep discussions and previews brief/small; don’t give away too much before your final posting date. We’ll also reblog/retweet any content that mentions @dimilethbigbang or is tagged with #dimilethbigbang as long as it’s SFW. (SFW snippets/previews from NSFW creations are fine.) We will continue to run WIP Wednesday in-server as well for folks to show off NSFW snippets and to encourage in-depth feedback.

[dimilethbigbang]

The second Dimileth Big Bang check-in will close today at 11:59 PDST!

Do not forget to check-in or else you will be dropped from the Bang!

[dimilethbigbang]

The Dimileth Big Bang Check-In #2 closes tomorrow!

If you haven't done your check-in, please make sure to fill in the form sent to the email you provided us to contact you with. Remember, if you fail to check-in, you will be dropped from the bang!
