The Big Bang Blog

@thebigbangblogproject / thebigbangblogproject.tumblr.com

A Collaborative effort to find any and all Fandom Challenges and promote them (Currently a work in progress)

Pinned

Ever wonder if there’s a bang for that?

Check out the Big Bang Project Masterlist and you might just find it already exists!

(And if you know any that are NOT on the list, please - drop us a line!)

Just a bump to let you know that we’ve updated a few things:

  •  a few new bangs/challenges have been added
  •  a ‘this list last updated’ date has been added to the main list 
  •  a few new LISTS have been added (for people specifically looking for certain TYPES of challenges like BINGO or REVERSE Bangs)
  • a second tab has been added to the main list that has OTHER PEOPLE’s GENEROUS collections of similar items. They may not be identical to my lists, feel free to check them out!

We are always looking for ones that we don’t already have, and we’d love to expand our other fandoms lists, so feel free to send them on in.

Also, here’s a post that tells you HOW to use the lists if you’re not already familiar with them (in particular) or google spreadsheets (in general):

I have been reminded that I can PIN POSTS and that the Saved Links on the blog skin are unreachable for Mobile Users sooooooo

As I mentioned before, I fell behind on keeping the spreadsheets updated (but have been reblogging anything submitted/tagged with the blog) but now @deansrightfulangerissue is not only helping me with that, but is SUPER improving how it works - like, on the setup side for our end and some of the readability on your end!

(It’s Magic I tell you!) 

Anyway, I thought I’d bump and pin this particular post as it has all the relevant information currently - with not only a link to the MasterList itself, but another link to how to use the spreadsheets to search for things if you’re not already familiar with how they work - just allow the spreadsheet a little time to load up all the tabs and you’ll be good to go!

Remember that the Spreadsheets are always under construction as new events are added and some fall into inactivity. 

This list also includes more than bangs - bingos and other events are collected as well

🌸 Spn Spring Fling 🌸

Spring Fling event is a rapid-fire, double-blind, anonymous exchange challenge, in which you'll give your likes and dislikes and get matched with a similar giftee.

Event is Ship and Gen inclusive. Short and sweet, like a spring fling! The mods will post creations anonymously over spring and creator reveals will be made at the end.

2025 Waxing Crescent Round prompts have landed!

It's a new season now that spring is here, which means new prompts for the 2025 Waxing Crescent Round have been posted up! You can view each one via the prompt card below:

>> (Apr. 1 - Jun. 30): 2025 Waxing Crescent Prompt Card Prompts are available as a text only version for easy accessibility and for downloading if you’d like to plan ahead. You can also check out the ongoing TWAD Spotify playlist to listen to the latest song prompts. A reminder that creators can choose 1 prompt, a few, all of the prompts, or none of them from each prompt card. For more challenge info, please refer to the guidelines and FAQ.

Previous prompts are always up for grabs once they’ve been released.

Dear Spiders,

Welcome to Spider-Verse Big Bang 2025!

We are so excited to be back for yet another year of creating!

Authors are expected to write a story of a minimum of 7,000 words between the months of April and November. There is no upper word count limit, but beware not to bite more than you can chew! (We all know too well those stories that started as one-shots and ended up being several chapters long hehe). Please note that authors are expected to submit a minimum of a 700 words draft at sign up (although we do recommend for the length of this draft to be closer to 10% of your final word count if it is higher than 7k)! Artists are expected to make at least one illustration for the story they will be paired with.

This event is open to all levels! Whether you're a beginner artist or writer, or you're already fully seasoned in your craft, the Spider-Verse Big Bang's doors are open to you~

Spider-Verse Big Bang welcomes every version of Spider-Man and affiliated characters; it is not limited to just the animated movies! So if you have a story inspired by any media where spider-people are featured, you're more than welcome to come tell it with us!

Fandom-Free Bingo: Fool's Edition!

Note: From the end of April, we will no longer be reblogging fills from Maritime May Cards. The AO3 collection will remain open indefinitely, however, and any Tumblr post that fills MM prompts and any prompt from a later edition will still be reblogged on those grounds. This means that posts covering exclusively Maritime May prompts or earlier will no longer be reblogged <3  Now, on to April! Love 'em or hate 'em, pranks have existed since humanity first put whoopie to cushion, and in honour of that, this month we're holding FOOL'S EDITION!

- Turnaround time is hopefully no longer than a week. If you've been waiting longer than this, please feel free to reach out!

- Feel free to interpret the prompts however you wish - the world is your oyster! <3 Note: Terms with a stereotypically applied gender (e.g 'Princess', 'king') are not gender-restricted! Some things are just hard to make gender-neutral, especially in limited space. Gimmie those boy princesses and nb kings to your hearts content. <3  

- No restriction to one prompt per fic/chapter.  

- You can merge this event with others, so long as the other event permits this.  

- Please mark rating clearly, and use CW where applicable. Posts not adequately marked will not be reblogged. We love you folks, and all the work you produce, but we get a lot of reblogs and have lives outside the event - we don't always have the time to be chasing down ratings or fandoms ;-;

- Use the tags #FandomFreeBingo and #Fandom Free Bingo: Fool's Edition, and tag @fandom-free-bingo on tumblr for a reblog - don't forget to also add in the pairing/characters, rating, the fandom and the warnings in the tags please <3  

- Fool's Edition sign ups will run until April 30th, 2025. Feel free to post after this date, however - works will be reblogged until March 31st, 2026, and the Ao3 collection will be open indefinitely.  

- A maximum of FOUR cards per participant. 

- This season we are offering BOTH 5x5 and 3x3 cards - please let us know which you would like!    

- All media forms, fandoms and original works are welcome!  

- You can request square changes twice (of any number), for up to a week after the card is issued.  

- Be respectful to other participants.

- Be kind to us!  

- Ao3 collection can be found here!

We also have a Discord!

Late Sign Ups for a Premade Card are Open!

Halcyonian Love: a Top!Steve/Bottom!Bucky mini bingo brought to you by the Dark & Spicy Evanstan Fest and WinterShield Events!

💌 The Premade Card

Remember, this is a mini bingo so we will only be offering a 3x3 card for this event!

The card only has 9 squares total, no free space. Because this card is small and premade, we won't be offering swaps. However, there will be 3 alternate squares at the bottom of the card. Once again, completing this card and sending in a masterlist is how you can sign up for a personalized card after the initial sign up period is already closed.

We will be sending these cards out on a rolling basis. So sign up at any time until the deadline.

Late Sign Ups for a Premade Card Close: 09/15/25

💌 Gentle Reminders

Please remember that switching and polyships are not allowed here. Ex: Steve/Bucky/Sam, Steve/Reader/Bucky, Steve/OFC/Bucky, Steve/OMC/Bucky, Steve/NBOC/Bucky, and any other variation.

However, Bucky/Steve/Bucky and Steve/Bucky/Steve are allowed. Work whatever author magic you'd like to get more than one version of our lovely captain and his sergeant in one universe. The world is your oyster.

Please use one square from your card per chapter/fic.

Your submissions for this event should be new and never seen before content. A new chapter in an already in progress fic is acceptable. A new installment to an already in progress series is also acceptable.

↳ You are allowed to combine this event with other organized bangs, bingos, fests, etc. as long as the requirements are met.

Word Minimum: 250 word

"Choose not to warn" fics are absolutely allowed, just please tag your works appropriately. We don't want to restrict your creativity with this event either. This means dark fiction and anything that will warrant the additional "dead dove: do not eat" tag are welcome! Yes, including that trope.

💌 Cycle 1 Schedule

Posting Period: 02/01/25 - 10/15/25 Late Sign Ups Period: 02/15/25 - 09/15/25 Fill & Masterlist Submission Forms Close: 10/20/25 Badge Release: 11/05/25

Vaderkin Creative Exchange 2025!

Hello and welcome! This is a gift exchange in four steps, organised by the Vaderkin Community (Vaderkin is a lightning rod discord) around Anakin | Vader's character, to increase interactions between writers and artists and give everyone some time to shine!

✒️ Step 1: Writers write prompts for artists, everyone get matched depending on sign up answers.

🎨 Step 2: Artists have one month and a half to draw one or more works from the prompts they received.

✒️ Step 3: Arts reveal. Writers get assigned one or several art pieces and have one month and a half to write a minimum 500 words story inspired from them.

🎨 Step 4: Fics reveal. Drawing festival, every artist can draw fanart over the new stories created from the event (and be reblogged by this tumblr for it).

Sign up here:

All works (art and fic) from tumblr will be reblogged by the Vader Community and all works (art and fic) from ao3 can be added to the event collection. For this, the works need to be tagged properly with "Vaderkin creative exchange 2025", as well as the tag "explicit" if it is explicit (smut, strong graphic violence) work.

Overall, it’s a typical gift exchange, only writers prompts will be in image rather than words, and everyone is strongly encouraged to have fun and try their hand at sketching during the ’drawing festival’.

April is the Cruelest Month Whump Event 2025!

Here we are again! The second year of AitCM!

It's a good month to whump our favorite characters!

In AitCM, to complete, you only have to write 15 days, and the other fifteen days you read & rec a fic that fits one the prompts for the day. (Feel free to create and promote art pieces as well!)

This not only makes it easier to fit into a busy schedule, but it helps promote your favorite writers!

You are more than welcome, of course, to write all thirty days or rec all thirty days—or both—but that is not necessary to complete the challenge.

Join us in filling the world with spectacular whump stories!

AWWWW

Challenge!!

Last year's Big Bang far exceeded our expectations, and we are so proud of all our participants and artists! We've been busy working behind the scenes to make this year's event even better, and to that end, we are looking to expand our mod team.

Specifically, we’re looking for a graphics mod to wrangle our adorable mascots and disseminate important information about our event.

Almost all of our information is pre-written, but we know it can all get a little dense! Someone who can grab attention with an announcement banner, or wrap up the major points in a tidy graphic, would be a great addition to our team.

If you're interested in joining the 2025 Dragon Age 25K Big Bang, please fill out our Google Form. We will close the form May 1. We'll be in touch soon!

*AI use of any kind is against our event policies.

More event information to come soon! Contact The Mods: ask | discord | email: thedragonagebigbang@gmail.com All 2024 Work Posts | 2024 Wrap Up | 2024 AO3 Collection

General Info for Jason x Slade Week:

All submissions to the Ao3 collection must do Two Things: 1) focus on Jason and Slade and 2) be inspired by at least one prompt from this sheet What does "focus on Jason and Slade" mean?

FAQ

  • Poly ships are welcome!
  • Any side ships/previous ships/etc are also welcome!
  • Late submissions to the collection? Also welcome!
  • Early submissions -- they are welcome, but I'd like to encourage people to wait to post during SxJ Week if you can, to be part of the community coming together
  • You may use new chapters on existing WIPs as submissions for this prompt week (and add the entire work to the Ao3 Collection) -- but please have the new chapter be focused on one of these prompts
  • You may also, of course, make a chaptered work entirely inspired by these prompts
  • If you post/crosspost to tumblr please 1) use "read more"s when possible/applicable to not clog up dashboards, and 2) tag with JxS Week 2025 or Jason x Slade Week 2025 so I can promo it for you
