What is a Big Bang?
A Big Bang is a large collaborative creation challenge between writers and artists who will work in small teams to write and illustrate a fanfiction! Creation will take place over multiple months, culminating in the posting and publication of all work on the same day. Going off with a Bang!How does it work?
After sign-ups close, Writers will submit short summaries of ideas they wish to write for the event. These summaries will then be anonymized and made available to Artists and Betas, who will select their partners based on the information provided in the summaries. Mods will match teams together, who will then work as partners on their pieces for the duration of the event, including meeting their check-in deadlines, until final posting.What kind of content is allowed?
This Big Bang will permit both NSFW content and Dark content. All content must be appropriately tagged. A content warning list will be posted in the server.How do I enter?
Sign-Up forms will be posted to all of our social media accounts! Writer, Artist, and Beta sign-ups are from March 1 - 15, and Pinch Hitter sign-ups are form March 8 - July 19. All forms will also be posted conveniently on this Carrd!Who is allowed to enter?

What do they do?
A Pinch Hitter is someone who picks up the assignment of any participant who has dropped out and is unable to continue their involvement in the event. Pinch Hitters are expected to create a piece that fits the requirements of the event in a short amount of time.I have a question that wasn't answered here.
