Hello! Is it allowed to submit old unfinished works? That will be finished during the event?

Yes! If you have a WIP that you’ve been working on, but haven’t posted anywhere, then you are welcome to use the Bang to finish it. If you’ve already posted parts of the WIP online then we ask that you come up with another work for the event.

[tf-bigbang]

Can more than 2 people sign up to be prepaired together? Like if 2 authors want to sign up to cowrite and be prepaired with a third person who wants to be their artist or two artists who want to sign up prepaired for the same author's fic?

That’s also fine! We’ve had a few pre-paired trios in the past. As long as you all make it clear on your sign up forms, we’ll make sure to group you together in a team.

[tf-bigbang]

Hey Mods! I know that for Big Bangs in the past, a writer-artist pair could apply together and not go through the pairing process. Will that be a choice this year? A friend and I have a big idea we want to push for this year and want to ask before actually committing to it.

Yep! Participants will have the option to sign up as a pre-paired team on the form.

Hi mods! as a writer that only partook for the first time last year, how does it work when writers go first? obviously artists gave us sketches to pick from, so what do we give? a certain word count snippet for prospective artists to read, or..?

Hi anon! For the regular bang, writers are asked to provide a fic synopsis at the first check-in, which includes an expected rating, main characters/pairings, any relevant content warnings, and a short ao3-style summary. Artists will use this information to rank their choices during the selection period.

Happy New Year everyone! We’re happy to announce that sign-ups for the 2025 Transformers Big Bang will be opening in February. A complete timeline and updated set of rules will be posted in the next couple of weeks, but this year’s event will ask writers to create a fic with a minimum word count of 20k and artists to create 2 accompanying artworks. We look forward to welcoming all of our new and returning participants soon ✨

Also, the directory for the 2024 fanworks can now be found here! All previous years' directories are accessible through the links on our blog page, and you can also browse our ao3 collections to see what past participants have created.

[tf-bigbang]

Are the mods going to be the same for the next event as they were for the mini bang?

Hey anon! All of the moderators from last year will be remaining on board for 2025. We may or may not look to add more mods as we get closer to the event, in which case we’ll announce any changes to the team.

[tf-bigbang]

Hey all! The mods are starting to think about next year's big bang event and we'd like to gather a little more information before we make any decisions. Assuming that the event timeline would be adjusted accordingly (i.e. bigger requirements would = a longer creation period)...

Thanks in advance for your interest! We'll take this into account along with last year's survey results when setting the 2025 requirements.

[tf-bigbang]

Posting period is officially over, and with that our 2024 event comes to an end! We hope that you enjoyed all of the the incredible fic and art produced by our participants' hard work for this year's reverse mini-bang.

You can browse the fics via our Ao3 collection, and the 2024 directory will be posted soon.

Please take our public event survey if you have the time- we're always interested in learning what participants and observers thought of the event.

See you next year!

Things Dot wasn’t expecting to happen this week:

Thrash becoming the first Terran in history to be pulled over by the police (and all that led to that)

Finally getting her robot children to the doctor for a well-child visit

Broken bones (a parenting first)

Angsty conversations (not entirely contained to this week)

Several reunions of various emotional intensity

And hopefully, her kids finally learning that there’s more than one way to be a hero

----------------------------------

Here it is! My Reverse Mini Bang Fic! Expect daily updates. Inspired and containing art by @astrangeavenue.

For this year's TF Reverse Bang, I wrote a murder mystery for @hysterical-random-things's amazing art [link].

Phantom, 12k, 5 chapters. Summary: Yesterday, there was plenty Soundwave could have said about Starscream, and not all of it complimentary. Looking at his empty frame, optics dark, in a make-shift mortuary, it all seems hollow in comparison. There's a killer on the loose, and with Megatron missing, Soundwave is the only one trying to hold the Decepticons together.
