This will allow our Mod Team to hopefully get our own lives in order and refocus for the 2026 Bang. We understand that this news may be disappointing for many of you who look forward to the Big Bang each year. Please know that this was not an easy decision, and we appreciate your understanding and continued support.

    However! We didn't want to let this year go by without at least doing something to help inspire Marvel fanworks. We are very proud of the legacy of this bang and want to continue to provide inspiration, accountability, and community for Marvel fans of all media.

    We are thrilled to announce that in place of the Marvel Big Bang, we will be hosting a special Marvel Fanworks Prompt Week<\/b>! This event will be open to all Marvel fanworks, including fanfiction, fanart, fanmixes, fanvids, and more. All universes, characters, and ships will be welcome.

    The Prompt Week will be Sunday, October 19 - Saturday, October 25<\/b>. We want to give everyone plenty of time to write or create art so we will be posting up more information including the prompts in the near future.

    Each day will have two prompts--one marvel specific and one more general. Feel free to make prompt suggestions in our Discord. Please keep each prompt to one or two words.

    Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years and participated as authors, artists, betas, and cheerleaders. We hope you will create wonderful things for our prompt week.","comments":"https:\/\/marvel-bang.livejournal.com\/208805.html?view=comments#comments","category":["admin","2025 prompt week"]},{"guid":"https:\/\/marvel-bang.livejournal.com\/208515.html","pubDate":"Sun, 24 Nov 2024 17:00:31 GMT","title":"Posting Instructions!","author":"mbb_mod","link":"https:\/\/marvel-bang.livejournal.com\/208515.html","description":"Posting starts soon so we've put this posting guide together for everyone to use!<\/span>

    Everyone<\/i> <\/span>must post their fanworks on AO3<\/span> on your posting dates (all chapters and art must go up the same day) and add them to our <\/span>    Collection.<\/a> That's all you have to do. You're done.<\/span>

    However, you can still crosspost and\/or advertise your fanworks any other place that you want on your posting date (or anytime after). As long as all parts of it are publicly accessible and on AO3, you can do anything else that you want with it!<\/span>

    Authors and accompanying fanworkers should be in contact with each other about coordinating posts. We don’t expect everyone to post at precisely the same time, but all related posts should link to each other - the main story post should have a link to its accompanying fanworks, and those fanworks should link back to the story, etc. All posts need to be posted to the AO3 Collection. If one of your participants hasn’t posted by the time you’re ready to go, go ahead and post anyway. You can edit your post later to put their information in. <\/span>Make sure you edit as soon as you have a link!<\/span>

    Authors, you are welcome to embed the art in your fic as long as it is okay with your artist. Just make sure you still link to a masterpost and give proper credit (and love!) to your artist. When posting images remember to include alt-text and\/or a caption for people with screen readers!<\/span>

    It's this simple:<\/span>
    Gather links from all fanworkers<\/span>
    Post to the AO3 Collection which you can find here: <\/span>    https:\/\/archiveofourown.org\/collections\/marvel_bang_2024<\/a>

    Please make sure you abide by AO3's warning system when you add your story to the archive.<\/span>

    If you do not have an AO3 account, we have invites. To request an invite, or if you have any questions, reach out to your friendly neighborhood mods via email, page-a-mod or on discord. We can't wait to see all of your finished products!<\/span>","comments":"https:\/\/marvel-bang.livejournal.com\/208515.html?view=comments#comments","category":["2024 marvel_bang","posting info"]},{"guid":"https:\/\/marvel-bang.livejournal.com\/208344.html","pubDate":"Sat, 26 Oct 2024 19:30:02 GMT","title":"Final Check-in and date claim post!","author":"mbb_mod","link":"https:\/\/marvel-bang.livejournal.com\/208344.html","description":"

    It's time to sign up for your posting dates! Due to the smaller number of participants this year, we are shortening the posting period. Posting will now run from<\/span> Sunday, 17 November to Friday, 6 December.<\/span> Due to the limited number of stories, we're only allowing a single story per day. But there are plenty of dates! Pick the day that's best for you. <\/span>Claiming a posting date here counts as the final check-in for your entire creative group.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

    Tandem and solo participants: you must send us a summary of your story before you claim a posting date.<\/span> Posting date claims made without sending in a story summary will not be honored. Summaries can be submitted via email or PM, or included with the posting date claim comment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

    We will have more specific details about the process of posting soon, but we do want to be clear that each story will have both the complete fic and any accompanying fanworks posted on the same day. Only one representative from each story needs to select a date. Before someone from your creative team claims a date, make sure that everyone involved - the author(s) and everyone making an accompanying fanwork - can post on that day.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

    When you comment, please list three dates that you would be able to post and include the following information:<\/span><\/span><\/p>

    Author(s):<\/span><\/span><\/p>

    All accompanying fanwork creators:<\/span><\/span><\/p>

    Title of fic:<\/span><\/span><\/p>

    If you leave any of the above info out, we’ll ask you to repost your comment with the missing info added in. We will not hold your preferred dates for you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

    We will do our best to confirm dates and update this list as quickly as we can, but you may want to check other comments before claiming to make sure your date is still available. Mod schedules are very hectic at the moment, so we appreciate your patience as we confirm claims.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Fueled by memories and drink, their passions surface, leading to an intense, emotional night together.


    The next morning brings misunderstandings, but with some help from friends, things take a brighter turn. The story takes place entirely in Wakanda's palace, with vivid garden scenes, sunsets, and starry skies framing the journey. The focus is on Steve and Bucky’s evolving relationship, with moments of angst but a heartwarming, happy ending. I hope.<\/strike>

We hope the writing is going well. Rough drafts are due Sunday, September 15th<\/b>. Anyone who would like to be paired with an artist must submit a draft. Since Tandem track and Solo track participants aren't being paired with an accompanying fanworker, they don't have to submit a rough draft.

    Anyone who would like to drop out or switch to the Tandem or Solo tracks please fill out this form:

    https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSe6Tstnfc8sc-VpZPxiUZV2Oikuah9qZeh3w7psAg3cLHtUQg\/viewform<\/a>

    For anyone who would like to be matched for an artist we do need to see rough drafts, but it is okay if they are very rough at this point. We're just checking for length and completion. Your story does not have to be completely finished, but you must have at least 80% of it done. This means that we will not be accepting any drafts under 8,000 words. However, if your story is going to end up around 20,000 words long, 80% would be 16,000 words. Use your best guess.

    If you are submitting an incomplete draft, please be aware that it needs to have all of the scenes at least outlined, including the ending, so we know that you are truly close to finished.

    Anyone who submits a rough draft and does not end up finishing and posting their story on time will be banned from participation next year. There is no penalty for dropping out before you submit a rough draft, but once it is submitted you will be paired with an artist and it is not fair to them for you to drop out. In other words, make sure that you can actually be finished by the posting date before you submit.

    If you're worried that you won't be finished in time, or don't have 80% but think you could be done writing by the time posting rolls around, you can switch to the Solo track with no penalty. Fill out the above form to switch. Doing the Solo track means you won't get paired with an artist, but you will be able to include your fic in our AO3 collection. Solo fics still need to meet the minimum length requirement and still need to be beta read.

    How to submit:

    ♠ Email your fic to marvelbigbang@gmail.com
    ♠ Your subject line should say ROUGH DRAFT and include the username you signed up with
    ♠ We can accept the following file types: .doc, .docx, .pdf, .pages, or gdoc. Make sure that your gdoc is shared with marvelbigbang@gmail.com so that we can see it. (Share the doc with at least<\/i> commenting capabilities<\/b>; we need to be able to view the word count. If you submit it as view-only we will not be able to accept it<\/b>.) If you can't use these file types contact us and we will see what we can do. Don't just send us a different file type without contacting us first.<\/b>
    ♠ In the body of the email you need to copy and paste the information below, keeping the html<\/b>.
    ♠ Take time with your summary, because this is what the artists will use to make their claims. Make sure you give enough information for potential artists to make decisions, but don't write so much that it's overwhelming.     Check out this post<\/a> for helpful summary writing tips.
    ♠ Make sure to be clear and thorough about trigger warnings so that artists will know what they are signing up for. You must put any and all warnings in this version of your summary, even if you choose to use an "author chooses not to warn" label later. We don't want anyone to be unhappy with the match, so please warn for noncon, dubcon, excessive or graphic violence, underage sex, incest, character death, or anything else that might be potentially problematic for a reader. Do not warn for slash, femslash, or het.<\/b>
