The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus One

Hello, hello everyone! I’ve hidden away like a hermit lately to bring this story I’ve been working on for quite some time now. 

Written for @qrowbang2020, this story is my contribution! As this is so long, this is going to be an Archive-only link; but, you can view the rest of the collection from the other contributors while you’re there!

It has a very lovely artwork crafted by the talented @transqrow to go along with it that I just absolutely adore! I also thank him greatly for all of his patience with me.

Finally, thank you to my beta @spectralscathath for all her assistance and advice while making this story!

Summary: They say growing up is never easy. For Qrow, it’s his only ticket to a better life. Yet, despite all the wishes he makes onto stars and all the dreams he envisions behind closed eyes… the truth is, he isn’t quite sure what “better” means.

It’s a good thing he has a lot of people in his life willing to guide him. Even if their methods are a bit unorthodox.

(Or: Five times Qrow has seen magic, and one time he showed someone else)

I loved doing this piece! Please read this wonderful story!

Keep the Home Fires Burning

Link!

Summary:

PolySTQ, Summer returns to find things are not exactly the way she left them. Still, arriving in Atlas to the threat of open war with Salem with her daughter at the center of it all wasn’t what Summer expected. Qrow and Taiyang must face the fact that Summer has been returned with no explanation of where she’s been or why, all while navigating the tangles of their own feelings with each other, and the war with Salem.

Written for the 2020 Qrow Bang @qrowbang2020

Excerpt:

“Do you really think those gaps can be bridged?” “Things might not be the same,” Qrow allowed, “But we can build a family together. Things have changed, it’s been years. But that doesn’t mean that what we can have now isn’t worth having.”

“Thanks.” She said softly into the cool night air. “I think… I think I needed to hear that.”

Art is by the lovely @kyria-nico and I will reblog it asap.

Hi! I am having a Big Bang about Qrow Branwen. Pretty much all ships (besides incest, pedophilia, etc) featuring him are welcome. The main rule about the content is that it needs to feature Qrow Branwen. Here’s a link with the schedule info, rules/faq, and sign ups! https://qrowbang2020.tumblr.com/post/620929109582839808/hey-yall-qrow-bang-2020-is-a-great-opportunity

[qrowbang2020]

this is late but here is our third work!

Writer: @qrowbaby

Artist: @mantispire

Rating: Explicit

Ship: Qrow Branwen/Roman Torchwick

Summary: Qrow had known Roman since they were kids. Rival tribes were funny like that. A punch here, a kiss there, nothing serious. Every time Qrow saw Roman, he thought it would be the last. Roman said they were just too different. Qrow thinks maybe they’re too similar. A story of how two idiots always manage to find each other, even when it's not always at the right time.

First things first, what is the Qrow Bang?

The Qrow Bang is an exchange of art/fic exchange of fanworks for Qrow Branwen from the RoosterTeeth’s show Rwby.

Are fics going to be based off prompts?

Nope! You get to decide what your fic is about! It can be AU, canon compliant, whatever you want!

Are any characters/ships welcome?

All ships and characters are welcome. However, the main ship needs to include Qrow.

What about ratings? Is there anything that cannot be written about?

All ratings are welcome! However, minors are only allowed to create for fics and art that are rated T or lower.

Incest and pedophilia ships are not allowed (this includes Ruby/Qrow). Any stories/art featuring either of these elements will not be accepted. If there are any ships that you’re not sure meet this criteria, please ask!

Minors in explicit situations is not allowed.

Other than that, sensitive topics like mental illness, eating disorders, real-life tragedies, main character death, strong kinks are accepted as long as the author warns properly and is tactful to others.

Participation Info:

Writers:

* Fics must be 5000 words minimum. There is no maximum limit.

* All fics must be beta-read. If you already have a beta, you can use them but if you don’t and are unable to find one, message me or post in the discord for help finding one! I’m hoping to put together a spreadshit of people who have volunteered to beta that I can send to people!

* The fic can be a WIP or a brand new idea. It needs to be a stand alone which means it needs to be a complete story.

* If your artists drops out, you will be sent a pinch hitter if one is available. The exception being if you have more than one artist.

* In order to keep things anonymous before claims, do not disclose any part of your fic outside of the designated discord channel before you have been paired with your artist. After claims have been complete, you can discuss it wherever (especially with your artist(s) lol).

* Before claims open, you will be asked to fill out a form summarizing your fic so artists can view and claim them. This includes a title, tags, rating, and summary. The summary must be completely SFW even if your fic is not. 

* You will be able to pick your posting date. Submission will be due on the day you pick.

Co-writers:

* A maximum of two writers can co-write a fic.

* Your fic must be a minimum of 7,000 words.

Artists:

* Artists must complete at least one work for their claimed fic.

* Any type of art that can be posted online is eligible. This includes visual art (such as digital or traditional art, comics, manips, picspams, photosets, and gifs), audio-based art (such as podfics, playlists, or fan videos) or physical crafts that can be photographed and posted online.

* During claims, Artists can choose up to five fics. Any fic can have up to 3 artists. You may not choose your own fic.

* Before this, all artists will receive a link to a spreadsheet with all the information for the eligible fics as well as a link to a form to fill out your claims.

* Once artists and writers have been matched up, you will be sent an email with contact information for your writer(s). Claims are in a first come, first serve basis.

Pinch-Hitters:

* Pinch Hitters are artists that take on extra assignments to make sure all the Writers have some art for their fic. You don’t have to have signed on as an Artist to be a Pinch Hitter. Pinch Hitter sign-ups are always open! If you did sign up as an Artist, you can claim extra fics to art for by being a Pinch Hitter.

* If a fic doesn’t have at least one artist claim it or has its only artist drop out, a call for Pinch Hitters will be sent out, so keep an eye out on your email!

Betas:

* Betas assist writers in many different ways: checking spelling and grammar (SPAG), checking continuity, fact checking, and cheering writers on.

* All fics should be beta’d, at least checked for SPAG. Writers can come in with their own Beta or can find a Beta inside the Bang.

* We expect a surplus of Betas to Writers, so don’t be surprised if you don’t personally help a Writer. We still welcome you on board to cheer our Writers and Artists!

Discord:

Discord is a great place to discuss your fic/art with the other writers/artists! However, there are rules that need to be followed and failure to do so will result in you getting kicked out from the discord and potentially banned from the Bang.

Minors:

If you are under 18, you may still join the Bang! Please note that if you are under the age of 18 you must not complete, view, or interact with, any content over the T rating. 

If we find that you as a minor have misrepresented your age on any forms, produced explicit fic, or claimed explicit fic, you will be removed from the Bang completely.

Contact Info:

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me on tumblr, discord, or email! Please me email me at qrowbang@mail.com
