gravityspiker Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I mentioned this site to my QPP a while ago, and he said his first thought was that "Arocalypse" should be the name for an apocalypse / post-apocalypse themed big bang focusing on aromantic characters. The more I thought about it the more I liked that concept -- most of the post-apocalyptic AU fic that I've encountered on AO3 has been romance themed, and I would very much like to have a more found-family dynamic in more fic. The bang would be multi-fandom (incl. original fiction) and different word minimums and posting deadlines could be discussed. (A traditional 50k minimum bang is Way, Way too long for a lot of writers, myself included; 10k or 5k seems much more doable for more people.) I've got some limited experience running exchanges and bangs, so if there's interest here I would be willing to help set this up (preferably alongside someone else). What do you all think?

Jot-Aro Kujo Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Isn't that basically what Aggressively Arospec Week is? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MargauxTheArtist5 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 It sounds interesting, but I have no clue what a bang is, in relation to writing. Could you explain it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you explain it? Fanlore has an article about it here -- the long and short of it is, authors sign up to write a longer story with a wordcount minimum (the ones I've run or participated in have usually been 10,000 words), and then artists choose a story to make art for based on submitted summaries. It's a way for an artist and author to collaborate on a project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
