About the Bang
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Big Bang?
A Big Bang is an event that pairs artists and writers together to create content for a series, ship, or theme. While there are different types of Big Bangs, the Sendai Frogs Big Bang 2024 is a closed (moderated) event intended to portray the dynamics between Tsukishima Kei, Koganegawa Kanji, and Kyotani Kentaro from Haikyuu by Haruichi Furudate. By the end, writers will complete a story that is minimum 3,000 words; artists will complete at least one piece of artwork based on the writer's fic.Since we intend this Big Bang to be a community event, we'll have sign-ups for beta-readers (those that proofread fics as the writer needs) and pinch-hitters (back-up content creators in case someone drops out of the event!)This is intended to be a fun, collaborative event to celebrate our beloved Frog Boys, open to all Sendai Frog enthusiasts aged 18 and older!
How does this event work?
There is no selection process involved, however, we are having a requirement that all participants be 18 and older!Once the sign-up period for writers is over, writers will submit a summary of the story they plan to write. All summaries will be anonymized and sent out to artists where they can view and later on claim their top 5 choices (AKA the top 5 summaries they are interested to draw for). Afterward, the moderator team will pair writers and artists together to get started!The match-ups will be announced on our Discord server. From then, each artist and writer is expected to collaborate on their piece together!There will be four check-in stages and a final deadline. Each artist and writer pairing will be asked to select a posting date. All collaborative works will be posted in AO3 and promoted on our Twitter account.
How can I get involved?
There will be four main roles to participate in for this Big Bang: writer, artist, beta reader (those who proofread fics), and pinch hitters (those who sign up as either an artist, writer, or both, in case someone drops from the event).
I have more questionss regarding the event!
Read our guidebook for so much more information!
What if my question isn't answered in the guidebook?
That's what our Discord is for! You're required to join once you sign up so we can resolve all of your concerns through there!We also have a retrospring if you'd like you ask your questions there!
