Hello everybody, and welcome to the Jegulus Big Bang!
We are so excited to be bringing this fest to jegulus, and hope you guys will come along for the ride.
A big bang fest is an almost two decade old tradition throughout fandom, with its aim to bring writers and artists together to collaborate to tell one story in multiple formats.
If you’re unfamiliar with the concept of a big bang, here’s a brief description! These fests usually run for several months, typically with the goal to write a novel length works. An author will write a fic, in our case with a minimum word count of 20k, and provide a summary anonymously to the artists who sign up. The artist will then choose a summary that speaks to them, and they will create a piece (or multiple) of fanart as a companion piece to the fic.
Our hope for this big bang is to not only encourage authors and artists to try something new, but to help the community as a whole to connect with each other in a way we might not have before!
The mods have been working on this for a long time, and we are so delighted to be bringing it to you all now. We can’t wait to see what you will create!
- mods Cass, Gabby, Rose, Maggie & Shan
All deadlines close on the specified dates at Midnight EST!
