Event Rules - Tumblr Posts

Rules/Guidelines

General Bang Rules:

Be respectful of all writers and artists. This is an anti-hate platform and any instigators will be removed from this event.

Joining the discord group is not compulsory. However, please give us an email to reach you. If we are unable to contact you, we will consider your application dropped. 

Please be present for all check-ins with the mods. Once you are partnered with an artist, please keep each other updated on your progress as well. If you are having trouble keeping up with the deadlines or any other sort of issues, let all parties involved know so we can try to work something out.

Tag properly- this means works that are considered 18+ or include any potentially triggering elements (eg. gore, vore, character death, non-con, dub con, etc.) must be tagged appropriately. Failure to do so will get you removed from the event.

Posting can be done on the platform of your choice (ex. Tumblr, ao3, fanfiction.net, etc.), you just need to submit a link for the masterpost 

You may sign up as an artist AND as a writer, but you may not claim your own fic. You must still meet your deadlines on both sides!

No AI art or fics- this will lead to expulsion from the event.

Do not share your stories or your art outside of your partnered author/artist and beta until the time for posting is set. The discord channels are being set up to allow discussions and brainstorming between authors and between artists, but please keep in mind not to share anything on a public platform.

Any and all questions, you can send an ask to our Tumblr, email the mods at [email protected], or ask us in our Discord server once that’s up and running

For Writers:

Your fic must be set within the GO universe or, for AU works, must be centered around the GO characters.

No RPF please. We all love Michael and David but we would like to keep this in the GO universe. 

Writers cannot solicit art from artists outside the event or who did not claim their fic until after the work is posted.

Small and Big Bang Qualifications 

Small: 10-20k words

Big: >20k words

You can and are encouraged to sign up as a beta reader, you CAN NOT beta your own fic. 

The story can be almost any sort- AU’s are loved, ship and gen are both welcome. This is a pro-ship event; just remember, as mentioned before, to TAG CORRECTLY

No reader inserts. Crossovers are acceptable so long as the focus is on the GO characters. 

Co-authors, teams, multiple authors are allowed

Bears repeating: no AI fics allowed

For Artists:

Any visual arts medium is acceptable- original illustration, manips, cover art, videos, etc.

Minimum 1 art piece for a small bang fic (10k-20k words) and minimum 2 art pieces for a big bang fic ( >20k words). No maximum limit

Artists may withdraw from the challenge at any point up until artist claiming date. If you do not claim a fic. then we will consider you withdrawn at this stage. 

Artists are encouraged to also sign up as pinch hitters- ie, someone that is willing to make more art for another fic should an artist drop out, but this is by no means mandatory. 

NSFW art must be tagged as such. However, please consult with your partnered author and adhere to their requests before creating explicit artwork.

You can post your art on any platform, but please ensure that, in the case of multiple art pieces, each one has a separate link that can be embedded into the posted fic to allow a reader to view the art within the fic

Artists cannot offer their services to other writers taking part in the event for as long as the event is running- you can only create for your claimed author

And a last time: no AI art allowed.

This is all for now. We will be posting the finalized schedule in a few short days! In the meantime, if anyone has any questions, feel free to send them our way <3
