WIP Big Bang/WIP Reverse Bang 2026 - Fandom Advertising Stuff

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 00:00:40 GMT

Posted by: penaltywaltz

WIP Big Bang/WIP Reverse Bang start in two days! Us mods are so excited, and we hope you are, too.

So, this round we're going to retire about 125 fandom banners of ones that either are being grouped under new banner to consolidate fandoms or are fandoms that never got much traction in the last few rounds. We are also going to add some new fandoms to the list and on that score, we would love suggestions! Here are the changes we are making:

New Fandoms

K-Pop Demon Hunters
The Amazing Digital Circus
Starfleet Academy
911 Nashville
Heated Rivalry
Game Changers book series (all characters not in HR)
Wonder Man
Thunderbolts*

Separated Fandoms:

Deltarune
Helluva Boss

Consolidated Fandoms:

The DCEU movies will be listed under a banner of the live action Justice League
Some of the single character MCU movies will be listed under the non-specific MCU banner (the old Avengers one will be used to list all the various MCU movie titles).

I will also try to do a banner for the comics X-Men as I have one for the live action movies going under my MCU listing of banners (since I'm renaming all the banners we're using and grouping them with the MCU thanks to them showing up in "Deadpool & Wolverine" as well as "Avengers: Doomsday") and would like input on whether I should do various X-Men comic titles or list X-Men who are not in the live action movies (or possibly both).

As we primarily do most of our advertising on Tumblr and I have over 350 fandom banners to use for that purpose (plus the 125 we're retiring), if you would like a banner for a specific fandom to use in advertising here on Dreamwidth or in Discord servers and in other places, let me know and I'll upload any banners I've got for it (or make one if I don't) and then once we have the sign-ups here on Dreamwidth you can link to them.

WIP Big Bang/WIP Reverse Bang 2026 - One Week Until WIPBB & WIPRB Sign-Ups Open!

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 14:03:38 GMT

Posted by: penaltywaltz

Are y'all excited? We're excited.

Please do us a favor before sign-ups start and go over the new FAQ; we updated it extensively over the course of the 2025 round as we had more participation than we had ever had before, and it was our first full round of the WIP Reverse Bang as well. We're pretty sure we hit every question we had directed at us via the mod email and the Discord, so hopefully any questions you might possibly have, whether you're a new participant or a returning one, should be answered there.

Please note that we decided to start fresh regarding the block list, so even if you should have been blocked last round you're free to participate this round (and we would especially love it if you posted the projects you were supposed to post during the 2025 round this upcoming posting period starting in September, even if you don't sign up with them in the 2026 round)

Also! I'm hoping, fingers crossed, to get the 2024 and 2025 master lists sorted before the new round starts as I was able to access my broken laptop and get all my new files sorted onto my new laptop. But I also got all the fandom-specific banners I had for advertising (which will start April 1st) and if anyone would like to volunteer to make banners for more recent fandoms, please let us know!

Please feel free to boost this event once sign-ups open on other communities/blogs/Discord channels once the sign-ups actually start!

FAQ

What is the WIP Big Bang?

Good question! This is a Big Bang with one goal in mind: to clean out your fanfic drafts folder. These are stories that were unfinished for whatever reason, that authors returned to and completed, and the art that goes with them!

What is the WIP Reverse Bang?

It’s similar to the regular Big Bang, except it’s for artists to finish WIP artwork (either traditional art, digital art, fanvideos, fanmixes or filk) and get a fic in exchange of at least 1000 words.

Is there anything not allowed?

Content wise, no. Problematic fandoms are fine. RPS/RPF is fine. Incest and underage pairings are fine. Graphic violence is fine. Non-con/dubcon is fine. Things like that I know have been hinted at in questions asked and as long as you tag for them, we’ll allow it. Also, canon settings with mostly OCs and original fic/art is also allowed (though it is harder to pair you with someone for fic/art). We just ask that it be tagged properly with any content warnings you would deem fit and be given the appropriate rating for the level of sex/violence there is in the fic. Just bear in mind that while original work is allowed you may not get art for it. However, we absolutely do not allow AI generated writing or art for either bang; it will result in a permanent ban if you are caught using AI in any capacity.

How many fics/art pieces can we sign up for?

We absolutely don’t mind multiple sign-ups; I know one year someone submitted 50 fics to finish, and got at least half of them done. We just ask that when you sign up with more than one fic/art piece you give each fic/art piece a unique user ID (please do not use the same ID for all your fics/art pieces...it’s important to have different IDs for the check-ins.

We encourage you to sign up for all the fics and art projects you plan on completing before May 21st and then dropping the ones you can't complete prior to snippets submissions; however, if you finish projects well before snippet submissions, we may consider letting you add new projects into the bangs on a case-by-case basis.

Is a piece that is part of another event (like a zine, FTH, or even another Big Bang) allowed as long as all the dates for posting line up?

Yes, we have no problem with you combining our event with other ones as long as you don't post new parts before July 1st (we will definitely give permission for early posting in that case).

Will I get emails about the bang?

We only email participants when their WIP has been claimed for art/fic. Please keep this fact in mind when deciding whether you want to participate; it is your responsibility to keep track of the schedule and know when check-ins and other events in the Big Bang/Reverse Bang are taking place.

If you need a reminder about due dates, the FAQ/Schedule is pinned on top of the Tumblr and Dreamwidth blogs and we use the Discord to remind participants of important dates in the Announcements channel. The pinned post on Tumblr is updated as we add links to specific things for the Big Bang/Reverse Bang, and if you join the Discord you can choose to get pinged when we make announcements regarding the events. The Discord is open year-round to both participants and non-participants, and the permanent invite link can be found above under the schedule next to the Mod email.

On that note, if you have any questions or are having trouble communicating with your artist/author, please do email us! Our email is wipbigbang@gmail.com. We will do our best to respond quickly.

Do I need a Livejournal/Dreamwidth/AO3/etc. account to participate? Are we allowed to participate without joining the Discord?

No! You don’t have to have an account on anything to participate, though you will need to have somewhere to post your finished work. Having one or more accounts will help for you to follow what is going on with the bang (we crosspost to Dreamwidth and Tumblr and heavily use our Discord server at the moment), but they are not required to participate. You can always leave comments anonymously or with an opensource ID.

The Discord server is optional, as it is just another way to interact with your fellow writers and get updates on important dates. It’s not mandatory you join, however.

( More FAQ )

I have a question/concern that’s not mentioned here.

If you need help, you can always contact a mod and we will do our best to make sure that you get your story/art finished. The best and fastest method of contact is through our email, wipbigbang@gmail.com.

WIP Big Bang International Fanworks Day Mini Bang 2026 - Posting Extension

Posted by: penaltywaltz

Just announced it on the Discord channel (mostly because I had a wicked allergy attack yesterday and wasn't online) but we are extending posting for the 2026 Mini Bang to March 16th, as February seemed to be a rough month for everyone.

For all of you who are interested, the Bragging Rights template for the Mini Bang is up at https://wipbigbang.dreamwidth.org/223224.html

WIP Big Bang International Fanworks Day Mini Bang 2026 - Bragging Rights Template & AO3 Collection

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 09:41:49 GMT

Posted by: penaltywaltz

My apologies for not posting this on the 14th; I didn't get on my laptop until just now so it went up late. But posting for the WIP Big Bang International Fanworks Day Mini Bang 2026 starts today (February 15th)! Posting goes from today until March 1st, and while it is primarily for fic under 7500 words, but if you didn't finish art for the 2025 WIP Big Bang or fic for the 2025 WIP Reverse Bang (regardless of length) you can also post it during this time.

There's no scheduled posting days; whenever you finish, feel free to post the bragging rights on Tumblr or Dreamwidth with this specific form for your fanworks. It allows you bragging rights for finishing your fic/art, and also links to the location of your fic (it should be up somewhere like AO3/FF.net/your personal Tumblr under a tag/any other fic or journal community) in its completion*. We also have an AO3 collection for this round where you can post the AO3 postings of your fic and art to.

These are the bragging rights form for the 2026 WIP Big Bang International Fanworks Day Mini Bang (don't worry about tagging posts on your Dreamwidth post if you post here; we will use a system we've determined):

Project Title:
Fandom:
Link:
Summary:
Warnings:
Characters:
Pairings:
When I Started:**
How I Lost My Shit:**
How I Finished My Shit:**

And here are easy to copy formats with HTML formating:

(You will have to delete the <*br> tags by hand and add breaks, unfortunately, Dreamwidth does not like the textboxes...)

Feel free to celebrate finishing your works, and don't be modest! Shout it to the world! We all come from so many fandoms, but we all came together to finish our shit, and that's something to shed a proud tear over.

*If for some reason, you can't post this yourself, you can always email this information to the mods, and we'll post it for you. You can also post via proxy, just let us know that you will be doing so.
** These are optional but encouraged

FAQ

What is the WIP Big Bang International Fanworks Day Mini Bang?
Good question! This is a Mini Bang with one goal in mind: to clean out your fanfic drafts folder for the fics that were too short to be completed during the main Big Bang (ie, finished works are 7.5K words and under).

Do I need a Livejournal/Dreamwidth/AO3/etc. account to participate?
No! You don’t have to have an account on anything to participate, though you will need to have somewhere to post your finished work. Having one or more accounts will help for you to follow what is going on with the bang (we cross-post to Dreamwidth and Tumblr and heavily use our Discord server at the moment), but they are not required to participate. You can always leave comments anonymously or with an opensource ID.

How many fics can I write?
We absolutely don’t mind multiple fics! There are no sign-ups for this, as it’s an informal Mini Bang, so as long as it stays under he max word count, you can finish as many fics as you want between January 1st and February 15th.

Will I get emails about the bang?
We do not send out any emails for the Mini Bang, as we currently do not keep an updated email list of participants, so we only send individual emails as needed rather than mass emails.

However, email is the fastest way to communicate with the mods. If you have any questions or are having trouble communicating with your artist/author, please do email us! We will do our best to respond quickly.

What do you mean by maximum word count?
You don’t have to have a set minimum of your fic to start, so an outlined fic is fine, but it must be under 7,500 words when it’s finished.

( More FAQ )

I have a question/concern that’s not mentioned here.
If you need help, you can always contact a mod, and we will do our best to make sure that you get your story/art finished. The best and fastest method of contact is through our email, wipbigbang@gmail.com.

art for 'love of your darkest dreams' by maralagidyne

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 03:03:17 GMT

Posted by: skargasm

Art Title: ⟫ The Love of Your Darkest Dreams by Maralagidyne
Fandom: ⟫ Teen Wolf
Posted @ sites: ⟫ AO3 or DW
Warnings: ⟫ N/A
Bragging Rights: ⟫ I was utterly intrigued by the concept when I saw the snippets that were posted, so was incredibly pleased to be given this fic for my art assignment. Maralagidyne was a joy to work with – she answered all of my questions about her characters, the tone of the fic, and any particular things that she wanted.

My original ideas (four of them) were much brighter in tone than where we ended up, but after talking to Maralagidyne, my brain came up with a slightly darker concept and she was more than happy to let me run with it. I deliberately left the images that I sent to Maralagidyne large enough to show all of the detail of the images and they shouldn’t be lost when they are made smaller for actual posting.

Book Cover: ⟫

The story and the rest of the art can be found at the links above.

WIP Big Bang/WIP Reverse Bang 2025 - Scheduled Posting Is Done; Emergency Posting Starts Today

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 00:04:51 GMT

Posted by: penaltywaltz

So the scheduled posting portion of WIPBB/WIPRB posting is now over! Thank you so much to everyone who has posted so far; we've had a lot of great fic and artwork and I for one have been truly dazzled by all the stuff posted.

If you opted for a December date (either originally or rescheduling during the posting period), you will hae until whenever I wake up on January 1st to either post your fic/art or email us at wipbigbang@gmail.com to drop out. I will be posting the info about the mini bang around midnight and then fingers crossed I will actually go to sleep before the sun comes up, and then I will post anything still waiting to be posted when I wake up and then posting will officially be over. Within the next week or two I will post the 2025 masterlist as well as both the 2024 Big Bang masterlist and the 2025 Mini Bang masterlist (both of which I started to compile but lost access to the files and just got access back this week).

If you had a posting date in September/October/November and didn't email us about rescheduling for December, you are still more than welcome to post in December as well! We had a lot of people who claimed dates who didn't post or alert us, so you still have time to post before you get banned for not posting. Post at any point in December by posting your Bragging Rights (found at https://wipbigbang.dreamwidth.org/210584.html) to the Tumblr (either by submitting them or tagging our blog in your post) or Dreamwidth. You must include the Bragging rights in the template or I won't reblog your post.

I will also go through the posting date claims form to see who signed up and didn't post or drop out in time. I will alert participants who are banned from being WIPBB authors/WIPRB artists for the 2026 round via the mod email, and will kee a list of emails to cross-check against the 2026 sign-ups. If you are banned and you submit a sign-up, your sign-up will be deleted and you will be reminded of your ban. Sign up again after the reminder and I will ban you from participating as a WIPBB artist/WIPRB author in the 2026 round as well.

Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe

Link to fic by captainspring: AO3

Summary:
Someone had tried to kill Nick Fury, and Steve’s lucky he was there to prevent it, because that’s how he learned the first of the two most important things in his life.

The ghost story that everyone knows as the Winter Soldier? Turns out, it’s Bucky.

When Steve demands to be assigned to the Winter Soldier case, Fury indulges him. After all, who’d be better at catching a super soldier than another super soldier, right? Steve is good at pulling off stuff nobody else can.

Stuff like restoring Bucky’s memory. Because during one of their encounters, the Winter Soldier puts his finger in Steve’s mouth, and Steve learns the second most important thing in his life.

While Bucky’s mind might not remember him, Bucky’s body certainly does.

Warnings: Explicit smut, Minor character death, Violent murder & its consequences, Blood, Temporary suffocation (non-sexy kind), Panic attack

Characters: Steve Rogers, James "Bucky" Barnes, minor characters

Pairings: Steve Rogers/James "Bucky" Barnes

When I Started: August 2024

How I Lost My Shit: Got distracted by all the other WIPs and shiny multifandom events.

How I Finished My Shit: Signing up for WIPBB gave me the much needed source of accountability to pull my shit together and finish this fic.

Art for Untitled Bucky/Zemo Fic

Posted by: kingstoken

Project Title: Untitled Bucky/Zemo Fic
Fandom: MCU
Warnings: N/A
Bragging Rights: Unfortunately my author had to pull out of the Bang, but I was able to make this art for their fic. The story took place in 1700s France. A pivotal section of the story takes place at a masquerade ball thus all the costume and mask imagery chosen for the moodboard. I am very proud of the manips I did for Bucky and Zemo, I couldn't do much about the modern hairstyles, but was very happy with how I was able to make them both look like they were in more historical dress.
