Greetings! I want to ask, what is a zine and/or a big bang?
Hi!
Zines started out as a thing in punk circles, but have since become a bit of a stable in big fandoms. Originally, they were made by one/very few people, then printed out at home and folded into little booklets/stapled together/etc. Nowadays, a lot of zines are professionally printed books with a lot of different contributors (you might've heard of the rise fashion zine, it's exactly this) that get shipped out to people who pre-order them.
That's not what I want to do. First of all, I don't have the experience to handle worldwide shipping and finances and everything and second of all, that's also just not what I want to do? I'd want the zine to be freely available as a pdf that people can either keep digitally or print out themselves!
A lot of big zines also only take on a limited number of people, so even when you apply there's no guarantee you'll get chosen. I wouldn't want to do it like that either since I always found that aspect of zines kinda sad? I don't want to run a fandom event and then stop part of the fandom from participating in it.
As for big bangs, I think they used to be much bigger back in the day? They're another event where a bunch of people come together. Typically, writers pitch an idea and start writing it. Then, once the first draft is done, they get assigned an artist, who then draws something for the fic!
I've seen some big bangs with really high minimum word counts for writers (like 50k) while artists are expected to make one or two pieces, I'd want to balance that more. Currently, I'm thinking maybe 10k for writers and two drawings for artists? But it's still very up in the air haha
I hope this helps!
#answered asks#this isnt meant as shade at any current tmnt zines btw! every mod (team) is allowed to run their thing however they want#and ive participated in a few zines before and enjoyed it! i just think theres also a lot of merits to running a zine everyone can join

Interest Check
On the discord for this event there's been some talk about me potentially organizing a messy zine (that will Not be a printed book, but also doesn't require a fully blown portfolio to apply) and/or a big bang (with a much lower wordcount for writers so it's more balanced in terms of time and effort). So! Figured I'd ask here as well if there's interest in this!

I'm only waiting for a few people to reply on discord, but otherwise I've confirmed that everyone has their prompts now! If there's any questions or anything is unclear, please either 1) send an ask here 2) message my main @dyke-mecha or 3) message me on discord (cephei0182).
Happy creating!

Experiencing technical difficulties again. This time it's not even tumblr's fault, my laptop just straight up died. I will send the missing prompts via phone first thing tomorrow.

Also, because I feel like we all need something nice right now, reach out to me and I'll doodle/write a drabble about your favorite(s) for you. Can be on anon, off anon, whatever everyone's comfortable with.
#tmnt#teenage mutant ninja turtles#once i sent out some more prompts im planning on spending the rest of the evening listening to a dnd podcast and drawing my iteration guys👍

Alright, I'm starting to reach out to everyone who didn't confirm they got their prompts. I will either send a friend request via discord (from cephei0182; feel free to unfriend me again as soon as this is done) or message you on tumblr with my main @dyke-mecha. If I don't get to you today, you're most likely to get a message tomorrow, I'm only messaging few very people at once because I really don't want either account to get marked as spam (like what probably happened to this one, rip).

Alright, doing the same over in the discord: if you got your prompts, please like this post. If you haven't gotten them, please do NOT like this post and instead comment. I can't check which messages went through and which didnt, so I'm relying on everyone to communicate about this haha
#everyone who doesnt interact either here or on discord will be messaged again regardless. thats just a lot of work for me so.#id really appreciate if i can skip everyone who already successfully got their prompts#and THIS is why i asked for a discord/mail in the form. because i knew tumblr would pull some shit like this

To be clear, those messages will go out in uh, nine-ish hours from now? Can't exactly do this at work haha
hay! i saw that you sent me a message with my secret santa giftee, but tumblr is being a butt and not letting me see it :(
could you plz resend it? thanks!
I'm banned from messaging right now, courtesy of tumblr👍 I'll go ahead and send it via discord/mail though!
If anyone else has the same issue/is still missing their prompts, please comment/send an ask and I'll send your via discord/mail as well! I can't look at my messages at all, so I have no way of knowing who responded and who didn't

Tumblr stole my messaging rights again, so uh. Expect this blog to go down again because that's what happened last time. Will hopefully be back in a few days in case that does happen o7

The Sorting is now done! I'm gonna go cook food now, and after that I'll be sending everyone their prompts👀
#i tried my best to make sure everyone will get at least three prompts theyll be happy to fulfill👍#which was HARD. guys did you know that assigning everyone prompts spanning different iterations and characters and and and is difficult#(im being very lighthearted. this was about as much work as i expected it to be)

just saw this blog today so i missed sign ups (rip) this is such a cool idea tho im glad someone’s organising this for the fandom!!
Aww man, I know how much it sucks to miss the deadline for things like this by just a day or two :( If you want, I could mark you down as a pinch hitter (means you wouldn't get a gift, but might be able to gift one), if you still want some way to participate?
#im planning on doing this again next year so keep an eye out for that fhdjf#answered asks#and thanks!!! the idea of secret santas obviously didnt originate from me but afaik nobody else is running one for tmnt on here this year s#mine now <3
