2024-2025 Schedule

UPDATE: This year is a reverse bang: artist→writer

Since last year was a standard bang, we're reversing the order for this year's mini bang, which means artists will create first! All artists and mediums welcome! The minimum word count to participate for writers is 2000.

I can't believe this is the fourth year of the mini bang, and I'm really excited to see what everyone creates this year!

2024/2025 Schedule:
────────────────────────────────
• Signups: Nov 1-Nov 30 (artists may start immediately)
• Check-in #1 (artists only): Dec 20-22

Artists should have 1/2 of their draft completed in addition to a detailed summary to share for writer claims.This is also considered the drop out deadline for artists. You are expected to finish out the mini bang beyond this point, and you may not be allowed to participate next year if you drop out once you're assigned a partner.

•  Claims: Dec 24-27

• Claims assigned: Jan 1
• Check-in #2 WIP share: Jan 31-Feb 2

Artists and writers will share their work in progress on Discord or through email. This is also a good time to give or receive feedback from your fellow minibangers and just generally bask in each other's greatness!
This is the deadline for writers to drop out of the mini bang. You are expected to finish out the mini bang beyond this point, and you may not be allowed to participate next year if you drop out past this point.

• Check-in #3: Feb 23-25

Both artists and writers should be nearing completion for their pieces. This is the final check in before posting.

• Posting prep: March 6-8

All fics must be completed and scheduled to post to the AO3 collection. Artists must decide where their final piece will be posted and communicate this with their partner.
Partners must decide on a posting date so the post schedule can be finalized. Partners should also chat about how they'd like to credit each other along with their work. In the past, some artists are alright with having their art reposted on AO3 on the writer's fic while others may prefer a link to their own page with their work.

• Posting: March 9-15

Artists and writers will make their pieces go live! Remember to take a look at your fellow mini bangers pieces too and appreciate everyone's hard work!

 

If you already know you’re interested in participating this year and would like to join our Discord community, please send a message via Dreamwidth or email ygorarepairs@gmail.com. You do not need to join Discord in order to participate, but will need to have a point of contact for your partner and check-ins. I will also of course make another post once sign ups are open.

Feel free to reach out with any questions!
