han almost froze when he opened the door and he heard your sniffles coming from the bedroom, “baby? you okay??” he called out worriedly as he dropped his bag down at the entrance, quickly slipping his shoes off before he walked to your shared room. you were laid on the bed, arms wrapped around a pillow as you tightly hugged it to your chest. your shoulders heaved up and down with your gasps, it didn’t take a genius to see that you’d been crying. 

he felt his heart almost break at the sight of you in front of him, “oh sweetheart...” he whispers as he came over to sit next to you, beckoning you into his arms. you let a sob escape your lips as you climbed into his embrace, he held you tightly as you cried into his chest, your tears stained the fabric of his hoodie as you pressed your face against him attempting to muffle your gasps. 

he wanted to take everything that was upsetting you away but he knew that it’s not that easy, people are fragile in this state... it’s easy to hurt them more so he just held you close, rocking you back and forth in order to calm you down a little. “shhh pretty, just breath for me yeah?” he spoke softly, patting your back as you gripped his shirt tighter. 

“’m so tired jisung“ you whispered , your voice trembles as his name rolled off of your tongue. “i know love , i know...” he reached down to hold your face in his hands before he kissed off the tears rolling down your cheeks. “i’ve got you ... yeah?” he smiled , pressing his forehead against yours. “i just feel like i want to crawl out of my own skin han, i just don’t feel good enough...” you mutter, wiping your eyes with your palms. 

his eyes softened at your words, he grabbed your hand in his, squeezing it tightly, “hey? hey? you know that you’re more than enough right?”

“i’m just over-reacting again, i need to st-” you mumbled, hiding your face in your hands but han’s quick to pry them away. “you’re not over-reacting at all baby“ he says softly as he brushes the stray pieces of hair away from your face.

“you’re so loved pretty, i hope you know that... and i know it feels like that’s not true sometimes” he pulled you in for a hug, letting you climb onto his lap in the process, “but you are, so so loved and i wish you could see yourself the way i see you...”

you feel a small smile tug at the corners of your lips at his words, “that’s it, smile for me yeah?” he grinned before placing a sweet kiss on your jaw, making you laugh a little from how tickly it was. “han that’s tickles-” you giggle , resting your head on his shoulder. 

“ ’m so lucky to have you...” you mumble, tears pricking your eyes again from the sheer amount of affection that you had for him at that moment.  “you know you’re the best friend ever“

“hmm? really? “ he smiled, his eyes lighting up with happiness . “yeah “ you leaned in to give him a kiss , you can feel him grinning softly against your lips. “well you’re my best friend too“ he pulls away and whispers, brushing his thumb against your cheek lovingly 

strbs  for 2 // event : @koishua​ requested : “could i please order a jisung fluff/angst established relationship (??) imagine where reader tells him he's reader's closest and only friend?

a/n : i hope this was the kind of thing you were looking for lovely!! thank you again for the request!

Sept 14th, 2022 - Prompts go up for viewing

Sept 17th, 2022 - 7 pm UTC - Claims round 1

Sept 18th, 2022 - 7 pm UTC - Claims round 2, if necessary and until all art has been claimed.

Sept 18th, 2022 - Matches confirmed

Sept 20th, 2022 - Check-in 1: Teams must confirm that they have made contact and are good to collaborate.

Oct 18th, 2022 - Check-in 2: Teams must confirm that they are on schedule to post. Writers submit an 80% draft for check-in purposes only.

Oct 30th, 2022 - Final drafts are due; fics and art will be posted into the challenge collection on AO3. The mods will set up and send out a posting schedule.

Nov 1st - Nov 18th, 2022 - Collaborations will be revealed by the mods

GUIDELINES for ARTISTS 

 In the quickie reverse bang round the following types of art are accepted: 

painting/drawing (traditional, digital, mixed) 

mood boards 

fanvids (min 30 sec) 

original gif sets (min 6 gifs) 

playlists (10 songs min) 

>> If the item cannot be uploaded to Discord directly, it has to be hosted anonymously and a link has to be provided. 

>> In the spirit of anonymous claims, no watermarks, signatures etc. are permitted! If you are worried about art theft, you can add “Sterek Reverse Bang” as a watermark.  

>> Artists can submit one or two pieces. If you are creating moodboards, only two boards per artist will be accepted. One moodboard per prompt.

>> Art must not have been published before, been a commission, or be associated with a fic at the time of claims. 

>> When you submit your art, it should be finished. You may of course keep working on it until posting.

GUIDELINES for WRITERS 

>> Minimum word count for fics in this challenge is 1k. Artists have the option to offer more art for longer fics. 

>> Artists’ prompts need to be followed unless writer and artist agree to do something else. 

>> Squicks and triggers have to be followed without discussion. 

Please be gracious about all pieces and remember to keep all discussion about the art and what you want to claim in #strb-writers-chat. Flailing and praising is permitted in #strb-general, but please refrain from mentioning any specifics. Artists are very anxious about their art getting claimed and we don’t want to add to any fears about any piece of art not receiving the attention it is due.

POSTING 

When the final drafts are due, fics and art will be posted into the challenge collection on AO3. Collaborations will be revealed by the mods.

>> Every team posts their collaboration to the challenge collection on AO3. The collection is set up so that works cannot be seen yet by the public.

>> Once posting starts, the mods will reveal one or more collaborations, depending on the number of teams, every day until the end of the week. Once a collaboration has gone live, teams can update the posting date of their work if they wish to do so.

>> Art should be embedded in the fic or be linked, depending on the preferences of the artist. In order to ensure that the art is only publicly visible once the AO3 post has been revealed to the public, art should be hosted accordingly, i.e. invisibly to the public until the date of posting, as well. Apart from using certain photo hosting pages or personal website space, this can be done e.g. via a private Discord server or in a Tumblr or Pillowfort post set to private. 

Teams will:

make a master post on Discord in #strq-gallery, using the pinned format template

add the fic with the art or a link to the art to the AO3 collection 

voluntary: submit a post to the challenge tumblr at sterekreversechallenges.tumblr.com using the same format as for the master post in #strq-gallery 

Teams are of course welcome to also make posts on any platform of their choice to promote their work and the bang once their work has been revealed on AO3.

DROPPING 

Talk to your mods! There is usually a solution, both for the person dropping and the person remaining in the bang (e.g. finding a pinch hitter). 

>> Should any participants drop before claims (Sterek Reverse Quickie, Sterek Reverse Bang) or matching (Sterek Artist Seduction Screw), no harm done, no worries. 

>> Should any participants drop out after claims without a very good reason and extenuating circumstances, participants will not be allowed to take part in the next round of reverse challenges hosted by Sterek Reverse Challenges. 

>> Check-ins and deadlines have to be met. Missing a check-in or a deadline without a very good reason will result in the participant being disqualified from the current challenge as well as the next round of Sterek Reverse Challenges. Failing to plan ahead, e.g. for holidays, data loss, etc., does not constitute a good reason! 

>> Dropping and ghosting will receive a lifetime ban with the participant in question also being removed from the Discord Server.

>> Should a team wish to drop out by mutual consent, they may do so, but may not post their work as part of the Sterek Reverse Bang Collection. 

COMMUNICATION 

The STRB is meant to be a collaborative effort between artist and writer. Part of the fun of the process is working with another creative person to make something new in the Sterek fandom. With that in mind, we have a set of things you should be talking about with your partner.

Artists and writers are free to decide mutually on how much contact they wish to have and in how much detail they wish to collaborate. However, as this is a bang based on art prompts, artists and writers should collaborate on the plot, unless the artist choses differently. Minimum Requirements:

>> By Check-in 1: Talk to your artist/author partner and exchange: 

Names and pronouns

Account names (AO3, Tumblr, Discord)

Best way to communicate

How much do you want to communicate/ how much interaction are you looking for?

Time zones

Are there any times/dates when you won’t be available?

Any general ideas you have

>> By Check-in 2: Teams must confirm that they are on schedule to post.

Apart from sign-ups, the bang will be run via Discord, i.e. a Discord account is necessary to join.

A Discord account is necessary to join.

Any questions, issues, or disagreements should be taken to the mods. 

RULES for ARTISTS 

 In the regular reverse bang round the following types of art are accepted: 

painting/drawing (traditional, digital, mixed) 

mood boards 

fanvids (min 30 sec) 

original gif sets (min 6 gifs) 

>> All art will be uploaded through a Google Form. PLease keep in mind that Discord has a limit for file sizes. If the piece cannot be uploaded to Discord directly, it has to be hosted in a way that doesn’t reveal the identity of the artist. 

>> In the spirit of anonymous claims, no watermarks, signatures etc. are permitted! If you are worried about art theft, you can add “Sterek Reverse Bang” as a watermark. Signatures may naturally be added for the final posting with the fics.  

>> Artists can submit up to three pieces.

>> When you submit your art, it should be finished. You may of course keep working on it until posting.

>> You may choose to create more art for longer fics but this is not a requirement.

RULES for WRITERS 

>> Minimum word count for fics in this challenge is 5k. Artists have the option to offer more art for longer fics. 

>> Artists’ prompts need to be followed unless writer and artist agree to do something else. 

>> Squicks and triggers have to be followed without discussion. 

>> Authors may not demand or request changes to the art. The artists may offer to do this, but that is up to the discretion of the artist. 

>> Fics must be in English. 

>> Submitted drafts must be typed and be in a standard document form (.docx or Google Drive). iOS extensions or photos will not be accepted. 

>> Writers must follow the check-in dates including sharing a 80% completed draft with the mods (check-in 2). 

>> All fics should be posted in their entirety on the submission date. 

>> You must tag for any of AO3’s major warnings and use appropriate tags, including the Sterek Reverse Bang tag. 

>> All fics need to be beta read. If you need help finding a beta reader, you can ask on Discord. Mods for the bang will not assign beta readers. 

Like a regular Bang, a Reverse Bang is meant to be a collaboration between artist and writer. Think of your artist like a partner in your creative process and follow the sharing guidelines that we have laid out in terms of sharing outlines and drafts. Everyone has their own creative style, but do be willing to listen to the input from your artist as you write. One of the joys as a writer is having a collaborative partner to bounce ideas off of and talk through your WIP. Your artist will probably love to be part of this process. 

Please be gracious about all pieces and remember to keep all discussion about the art and what you want to claim in #strb-writers-chat. Flailing and praising is permitted in #strb-general, but please refrain from mentioning any specifics. Artists are very anxious about their art getting claimed and we don’t want to add to any fears about any piece of art not receiving the attention it is due.

SUBMITTING PROMPTS 

>> All art will be submitted using a Google Form. [link coming soon]. 

>> Be ready to give the following information when submitting art: 

title of art: 

rating of art: 

highest rating the fic can have: 

any warnings (you must warn for archive warnings!): 

main pairing (obviously Sterek for this bang, but e.g. if you’d be ok with a second main pairing or changing your main pairing if your art permits): 

acceptable background pairings: 

short description of art/ prompt: 

likes: 

dislikes: 

eligible for multiple claiming: 

willing to make more art: 

willing to make more art for longer fics: 

Keep in mind that the more detailed the prompt, the fewer the people who might feel up to fill it. Also, be aware that cross-overs can be difficult as well.

CLAIMS 

>> Art prompts will become available for viewing in #strb-prompts-and-teams on Jan 21st, 2021. 

>> Prompts will be numbered - this number will be needed for claims. 

>> Claims will be on Jan 23rd, 2021 - 7 pm UTC (Universal Time Coordinated - takes care of time zones as well as winter times). 

>> Claims will take place in a Google form that will be posted in Discord #strb-claims as soon as claims open. Only registered writers can make a claim. 

>> Claims will be assigned on a first come first serve basis. Claim confirmation will be sent from the official mod email (sterereversechallenges@gmail.com). 

>> All claims have to be kept confidential until claims are over. Please be respectful to artists and conscious of their feelings - nobody likes to hear that their piece is bad, unpopular, or left over. 

>> Authors will submit between 3-10 choices in order of preference. 

>> If there is any art left after the first round, there will be as many rounds as needed to get everything claimed. If there are authors left, art eligible for double claiming will be put up again for authors to double claim. Second round in either case will be on Jan 10th at 7 pm UCT. 

POSTING 

Open posting or moderated posting is still up for discussion.

>> Open posting: every team posts sometime between April 1st and April 11th 2021 on the day of their choice.. 

>> Fixed posting dates: all collaborations are posted to the Mod Account by March 28th, 2021. Moderated posting will then start on April 1st and run until all collaborations have been posted.

Art should be embedded in the fic or be linked, depending on the preferences of the team.

Teams will:

make a master post on Discord in #strb-gallery, using the pinned format template. 

add the fic with the art or a link to the art to the AO3 collection. 

voluntary: submit a post to the challenge tumblr at sterekreversechallenges.tumblr.com using the same format as for the master post in #strb-gallery 

Teams are of course welcome to also make posts on any platform of their choice to promote their work and the bang.

DROPPING 

>> Should any participants drop before claims, no harm done, no worries.. 

>> Should any participants drop out after claims without a very good reason and extenuating circumstances, participants may not be allowed to take part in the next round. In any case, talk to your mod! There is usually a solution, both for the person dropping and the person remaining in the bang (e.g. finding a pinch hitter).. 

>> Should a team wish to drop out by mutual consent, they may do so, but may not post their work as part of the Sterek Reverse Bang Collection..
