I think we actually bumped it to three pieces of art, or tried to, because we were really really concerned that people, you know, feel like had actually illustrated art for their stories and not just like one really crappy piece of art done in a hurry. The HashiMada BigBang is nine weeks long.Ī Reverse Bang is a type of Big Bang in which fanart is created first, and stories are written for those fanart pieces rather than the other way around.Īnd then we had to be very strict about you know, how many, how many pieces of art every illustrator-every illustrator did, because we wanted the people who had written you know, 50,000 words of fic to feel like they had actually had gotten, you know, at least two pieces of art per. Fanweeks (and fan months) are a popular example of this kind of Big Bang, although some open big bangs are much longer. Open Big Bangs (as opposed to the "closed" big bangs described above where participants must sign up to take part) require no sign-ups or commitments and involve little to no moderation of content - participants simply produce and post their content during the designated time frame, usually under a designated hashtag. Some Big Bangs have specific prompts for the authors to work from, or general themes, while others leave everything but the minimum word count up to the individual authors. There was some fanart produced for the challenge as well. In 2008, the Bandom Big Bang provided each story with a soundtrack, rather than artwork, since it seemed more appropriate for a music-based fandom and because fanart is not as common in bandom. This art can take the form of illustrations, manips, photo collages, vids, icon sets, etc. Artists create fanart to go along with the story. When the early drafts of the stories are available, each one is assigned one or more artists, or artists might claim stories from posted summaries.
Most Big Bangs have a similar format: Writers sign up to take part in the challenge and begin writing stories. This type of challenge is a reprise of the old zine tradition of collaboration between artists and writers for internet fandoms. A Big Bang (or "Bang" for short) is a specific type of challenge usually involving long fics and accompanying artwork.
