#tmkbigbang2k19

Let’s get to the point here.

I know I said I’d be announcing the news from the Tomione Big Bang poll on the first, but I’ve checked the results as of late and to be honest, I’m satisfied. 

There will be a 2019 Tomione Big Bang!

If interested, curious, whatever, just read below for a preview of the event!

1. FIRST OFF: What is a Big Bang? Some of you are probably wondering that. If you aren’t you can skip on down to the next section. 

A Big Bang is a specific type of challenge usually involving long fics and accompanying artwork. This type of challenge is a reprise of the old zine tradition of collaboration between artists and writers for internet fandoms.

*Please note: Every Big Bang has a different minimum wordcount goal in their rules. Some 50k, some 30k etc. For this one, it will be 25k.

*Another note: Every Big Bang also has a specific time period it spans over. Anywhere from just a few months up to 6. Depends on the time of year as well as the min. wordcount goal chosen. For this one, it will be 4 months.

2. Over the length of March, I will be putting the final touches (because I already created them because I’m excited and I can’t wait) on the Google Forms I’ll be using for the Big Bang. I’ll be making sure they’re ready by April 1st, which will be the day sign-ups will open and I’ll post the full detail post for the event! (Yay!)

This also includes a favor I’d like to ask you guys! Would someone like to make a banner for the event? I’d love to have one for the official Big Bang post on the first.

3. Everything will be commencing on Archive of Our Own! You can find the link to the challenge/collection for the TKMBigBang2k19 here: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/tkmbigbang2k19 The challenge/collection is already created, but just like working on the Google Forms, I will be adding more and more to the page each day up until April 1st. I’d be happy to post updates on when I add things like faq’s since I know that might become an important factor for people still not 100% sure on participating. 

4. Now, things to expect just so you can prepare yourselves: 

First, we’re all gonna start off with sign-ups. This will be for everyone: artists, writers, and betas. It will be a Google Form that’s extensive as far as info but nothing completely personal. Everyone is expected to include at least one prompt to submit for the event in the form at the end. 

Then, soon after and even during, there will be a separate Google Doc everyone will be free to view. This will include a list of beta’s and artist’s with their info for people to choose from as well as a list of prompts to choose from. How the prompt choosing will go, I’ll include on the intro post on the first.

Throughout the months leading up to the due date of your pieces of writing, there will be what's called “check-ins”. They will be special Google Forms for ones to fill out once a month for me to personally check in to see how you’re doing as well as making sure you’re still participating.

With that said, any suggestions, questions -- whatever, you can contact me through Tumblr, email, or Discord. Thanks everyone! See you on the first with the official post!
