What is the Todoroki Big Bang?
A: The Todoroki Big Bang is a Big Bang fan event centered around Todoroki Shouto of the manga/anime series My Hero Academia by Kohei Horikoshi.
What is a Big Bang?
A: A Big Bang, or Bang, is a fan event meant to create collaborative works of fanfiction and fanart based on specific characters and/or a theme. Writers begin by writing a story and the artists claim the chance to provide an accompanying art piece based on an early draft or summary.
What is this Bang’s theme?
A: The theme of this year’s Bang is Growth! Please remember that the theme is NOT mandatory and stands more as a suggestion to help writers brainstorm!
Will ships be allowed?
A: Yes, ships will be allowed! However, the majority of the focus should still be on Shouto as this is a Bang centered around him.
How do I participate? Can anyone join?
A: Everyone is welcome so long as they’re willing to commit to a finished piece. Participants will need to submit an application as either a writer, artist, pinch hitter, or beta. Applications will be made available December 6th.
Will I need Discord to participate?
A: Yes. Most, if not all, communication with participants will be done through Discord.
Will I be able to apply as both a writer and an artist? Do more than one piece?
A: Participants may sign-up to produce a max of two pieces. That could be two distinct stories, two illustrations, or one of each. We highly suggest you evaluate your workload in the coming months before committing to more than one piece. Remember, a call for pinch hitters will go out later further into the event.
What is a pinch hitter?
A: A pinch hitter is someone who steps in to fill a role when another participant drops out. Someone who’s able to help out in a pinch.
Can minors participate?
A: Since this is a SFW Bang, minors are allowed to participate!
Are there any content restrictions?
A: NSFW content is not allowed as Mod Caia and Mod Dina are both minors at this time.
A friend and I wish to work together, can we join as a pair?
A: Yes, we will accept prearranged collaborators. Just let a mod know when applications open.
Is having a Twitter or Tumblr necessary?
Tumblr or Twitter is not necessary - though you should still have somewhere to post your finished piece when it is done!
Will the finished bang be uploaded on a website?
At posting period, artists and writers will upload their own works to whatever social medias they use (Tumblr, Twitter, Ao3, etc). Then the Todoroki Bang accounts will either reblog, retweet, or post a link to the works.
Will mods be assigning partners?
Mods will be assigning partners. Artists will be asked to submit which fics they would most like to illustrate, and then they will be assigned to a writer based on that.
Do you have any requirements for size or programs used when making the artwork?
Artists need to complete one fully colored piece with a background. For traditional art, photos/scans must be reasonably high quality. Other than that, there are no requirements, so feel free to work with whatever size/program you think is best.
For the question on the Artist sign-up form about whether or not you would be willing to work with two writers, is that referring to two writers that are collaborating on one piece or two writers with two separate pieces?
This question is asking whether you would be willing to illustrate for two separate fics if there were more writers than artists. However, we’re just gauging possible willingness right now. You don’t have to commit to anything until you fill out the claims form.
I have more questions, who do I contact?
A: You may contact a mod through a Tumblr ask, Twitter, or CuriousCat. Links are located on the front of this Carrd.
