smallfandombangGENERAL RULES & INFORMATION
1. Please make sure you join the Small Fandoms Bang community at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
smallfandombang | Small Fandoms Bang on DW. It will be the Author’s responsibility to watch or track the community to make sure you don’t miss anything.
2. Your fandom must be verified before you sign up. If your fandom wasn’t verified during a previous round (and hasn’t since grown too large to qualify), then you should comment here or at the What Qualifies as a Small Fandom post at our sister community Small Fandom Fest on DW to have it verified. The general rule for this community is that any fandom with less than 2,000 fic qualifies.
(For a list of fandoms that have already been qualified, please check the Qualifying Fandoms Database; for a list of fandoms that have already been disqualified, please check the What Qualifies as a Small Fandom post at Small Fandom Fest on DW.)
Don’t forget to check the list for fandoms that have been disqualified since the last round.
3. Stories must be at least 10,000 words long. There is no maximum length.
4. All ratings, pairings (gen, het, slash, threesomes), and genres (from horror to romance) are welcome here.
5. AUs are allowed. Crossovers between small fandoms are allowed. Fusions between small fandoms are allowed.
6. Stories must be fictional person fiction only; this challenge does not include real person fiction unless the real person has been fictionalized. (For example, if you’re writing Alexander the Great based on the movie Alexander, or Napoleon based on the Temeraire series.)
8. Stories must be complete and new – no WIPs or previously posted work will be accepted.
9. Authors may sign-up to write more than one fic, and/or to co-write a fic. Please read the FAQ on LJ | on DW before doing so as there are limits to the number of fic you may sign up to write.
10. If you choose to co-write fic, please only sign up once and list both usernames in the form.
11. If you choose to sign-up to write more than one fic, please sign up separately for each fic.
12. Please note that check-ins are mandatory.
13. Stories must not be posted anywhere on the web prior to your posting date, in part or in whole. You will be able to share snippets of your story at our support comm,smallfandomcafe | Small Fandom Café on DW.
14. Authors may also sign-up to do art, but may not claim their own fic.
15. Authors, please note that you may be called upon to assist your artist with screencaps, character descriptions, etc. Since this is a multi-fandom, small fandom challenge there is a high probability that Artists will be asked to create artwork for fandoms they are unfamiliar with, so your assistance will be necessary.
For more information, please read the Rules (on LJ | on DW) and FAQ (on LJ | on DW) before you sign up.

Date: 9/11/18 01:58 am (UTC)I just wanted to double checked since I only watched that episode and that was mainly cause I’m a Waylon fan girl so I’m not in the fandom but I’m willing enough to write fic for his character. Thanks

Date: 9/30/18 05:13 am (UTC)I haven't done a big bang in years, but then I came across this one, and it would be great motivation for writing a certain KotIF bigfic I have in mind...

Date: 10/13/18 06:17 pm (UTC)I might also be writing for Horizon Zero Dawn, which I didn't see on the list - 84 fics on FFN and 401 on AO3.

Date: 10/13/18 07:38 pm (UTC)I'm sorry, but none of the Fire Emblem games [currently] qualify. Mainly due to ff.net because only a small fraction of the total fic listed under the Fire Emblem umbrella are tagged with the world they're written in, which means the world for most of the 15,000 fic is unknown.
However. While it doesn't qualify this round, I have posed a question to the

Date: 10/24/18 06:34 pm (UTC)(It's in the FAQ:
Do I need to know exactly what fandom I plan on writing in when I sign up?
No. However, you should include the three fandoms that you are most likely to write in on the sign-up form. If you decide to write in a fandom that you did not list, just contact us first so that we may verify that it qualifies (and also so we can update our spreadsheet).
And on the sign-up form:
~Please only include the top three fandoms you will most likely write in. (However, if you change your mind down the line you may add/change your fandoms by contacting us at our mod e-mail account.)
But it's something that should probably be included in this sign-up post as well. I'll make a note to do that for our next round.)
Oops! I meant to say, if you do decide to switch fandoms, just let me know which one you want to replace.
