FAQ
What is a bang?
A bang is a fandom event centered around pairing writers and artists to create a collaborative piece. Writers sign up and write a fic, keeping the premise secret the entire time. Then artists choose the fics from an anonymous list, are paired with the writers, and get to illustrate.What kind of content will be accepted for this event?
The nature of a bang is that one work must be written while the accompanying work must be art. All forms of art are allowed! Whether you’d like to create illustrations, moodboards, cosplay photos, recipes, or playlists, we’d be happy to have you! If there is a form of media not included here that you’d like to create for a piece, the mod team is here to listen! Feel free to bring up any other alternate art form with us. We encourage creativity.
There are no restrictions on what people can include in their stories or artwork. We are a proship/profiction bang and will not treat any story idea differently from any of the others. Our server will be modded and regulated to ensure that all content stays where it should (general, nsfw, or cautionary).What does Proship/Profiction mean?
Being ‘Proship’ means that we will allow people to ship/write whatever they enjoy, including controversial ships and content. You do not have to like it, but you do have to respect that people will be creating content they prefer. In simple terms: don’t like don’t interact. We will keep spaces separate for more NSFW/Cautionary content for those who prefer to avoid this content.How do I contact the mod team with questions and concerns?
Once our Discord server is open, we will able to answer questions and concerns there. We also have an active Twitter and Tumblr page that anyone is welcome to message with comments or questions. Our email will also be checked regularly, should you prefer to email us there.

Email: [email protected]What happens if I can’t finish my work/if I need to drop the bang?
Fandom is meant to be fun! If life happens or if you become overwhelmed just notify a mod and a pinch hit will be sent out for your partner should they request it.What do I do if there is a creator I would prefer not to work with?
You will be given several opportunities to express if there is someone you cannot work with– and this includes members of the mod team. We do not need to know a reason, just simply include their name and handle in any form, or ask to speak with a mod privately for this to be noted. The information will be kept private among the mod team and only used for matching purposes.
Again we DO NOT need a reason. If you are not comfortable working with someone for any reason, we will respect that. While we do our best to honour all requests, if you end up with someone you would rather not work with please contact a mod IMMEDIATELY upon matches being released so we can correct the error.
You ARE allowed to request not to work with someone on the mod team and still be allowed in the bang.
