RAREPAIR BANG
We’re considering running a Voltron: Legendary Defender Rarepair Bang!
Do you like rarepairs?
Would you like more rarepair content?
How about a bang designed specifically for that content that you’re missing?
Then maybe you’d like to sign up for a rarepair bang!
What is a big bang? What is a ‘regular’ bang? What is a ‘reverse’ bang?
A big bang is a type of fan challenge in which writers and artists work together to produce new collaborative content for the fandom.
A regular bang is a challenge in which the writer signs up first and the artist claims who they want to work with based on the writer’s summary and a small excerpt of their wip.
A reverse bang is exactly that – reversed. artists submit their wips and writers choose who they’d like to partner with to write a fic for
Do I need a Tumblr/am I required to post on Tumblr for this event?
NOPE! Any social media site is completely acceptable for this bang (:
If enough people are interested, we’ll be making a twitter to post updates on, as well.
What am I able to sign up for?
You can sign up as writer or an artist!
You may also sign up as both, but please remember the minimum amount of work required for the bang, and be sure not to overstretch your limits!
WRITER REQUIREMENTS
What are the general requirements for fic?
All writers must submit a final project that is at a minimum of 5,000 words. There is no maximum limit to word count, but all works should be completed and polished to the best of your ability.
Can I partner with somebody to co-write a fic?
Sure; however, you need to let us know about who your co-author is.
You will also be ‘up-charged,’ meaning you will be asked to complete a fic of a minimum of 7,500 words.
Can I write a fic that has chapters?
Of course! However, it must be completed by the final submission date, and all chapters must be posted on your assigned posting date.
Can I continue a fic I’ve been working on?
Unfortunately, no. All works must be new for this challenge.
However, you can expand on an already-completed fic or add on to a series (ie sequels, prequels)!
You may not add on to a work in progress (i.e. new chapters).
(However, if you mean ‘can I continue a WIP I have been working on’, then that is fine, as long as it has not been posted or shared on any public forums.)
What genres / warnings / ratings are allowed?
You can write whatever you would like, but all fics should include proper warnings (ie explicit material, death and other triggers, spoilers, etc) and ratings.
A list of mandatory and suggested warnings can be found here.
Does my fic have to be completed when i submit the final project?
Yes, even if its a chapter fic.
All works must be finished at the time of final submission. You may edit between final due date and posting date as long as it does not go below your requirements.
Check-In WIPs, however, do NOT need to be completed.
These check-ins are just to let the mods stay up to date on the progress of your works, as well as a time for you to ask any questions/voice any concerns you may have.
Only mods will see your WIPs.
Are AUs/crossovers from other fandoms allowed?
Yes! However, please note not all artists will be familiar with your crossover fandom of choice.
ARTIST REQUIREMENTS
What are the general requirements for art?
All traditional / digital media artists must submit a minimum of two works for the final project.These can include drawings, cosplays, music pieces (i.e. composed works), or photo manipulations/edits.
There is no maximum number of works, but all works should be finished and polished to the best of your ability.
Can I partner with somebody for the art pieces? Can I co-draw?
Sure thing! However you need to let us know, as well as let us know who your co-artist is.
You will also be ‘up-charged,’ meaning you will be asked to complete a minimum of four works.
What genres / warnings / ratings are allowed?
You can draw anything you want! All ratings are welcome as long as it’s properly noted/tagged.
If I sign up for fic and art, can I claim my own fic?
No - no one will be claiming their own work.
What size do art pieces need to be?
All images posted to this blog should have a width of 540 pixels, or increments of (ie 1080). this includes banners. images you post to your own blog or archive of choice for the final project can be whatever size you want.
