Announcing: Joker Out Big Bang 2025

Did you enjoy the JOblr Secret Santa gift exchange? Are you already looking forward to the next event? Do you enjoy creating together and for each other, for other fans, as a community? And do you want to go bigger and bolder with it?

Then look no further, because the first official Joker Out Big Bang is here! You might have seen these events happen in other fandoms, but if you have not, you might ask:

What is a Big Bang?

To put it simply: It’s a coordinated posting of fanworks. The general idea is to post a whole lot of fanworks, all at the same time and thus create an “explosion” of fanworks, aka a Big Bang. (Maybe it’ll even get the band tag trending. #GlobalDomination /j)

For the most part, the centre of attention in a Big Bang are fanfics paired with fanart, but works can also include other mediums such as moodboards, collages, edits, gifsets, etc. The point is that a writer's work gets paired with an artist to get visual additions to their work.

All works are united under one hashtag both on tumblr and in one collection on AO3 and are shared by the other participants and the official blog – so everyone gets to be part of one big collective.

This year's Big Bang event will have a Creation Phase up until the end of March, and works will be posted from the 7th - 13th of April.

Interested?

Sign-Up will start tomorrow and then you have until the 20th of January (late arrivals until the 25th, but we suggest you don't wait until the last minute) to join, afterwards the Sign-Up will close and the fun of creating will begin – Well, the planning stage of it, at least!

Before you sign up, please read through the general information, the detailed event timeline and our FAQ first. (We included convenient clickable links there). If you have any questions at all, our inbox is, of course, always open, so please don't hesitate to reach out!

And in case you're worried about real life taking up the majority of your time, you can always sign up for a Mini Bang – Smaller word count, less of a stress to find time for.

The event will have openings for Beta-readers, too; we'll update you on that as the time comes.
