2021 Cap-IM Big Bang: New work formats and Discord chat

[cap_ironman_fe]

EVENT INFORMATION | WRITERS' GUIDELINES | GUIDELINES FOR CLAIMING CREATORS | FAQ POST

The Cap-Iron Man Big Bang is a Steve/Tony fest where writers work to create a story of 25K words or more, and artists (including giffers and manippers), fanvidders and podficcers create an accompanying work based on the story they claim.

Please make sure to read over all the event guidelines, even if you've participated in our Big Bang before. We'd like to highlight the new eligible fanworks you can create from this year's event onwards (as per the Community Survey that took place in early 2021).

Accompanying fanwork minimum requirements from claiming creators are:

• at least one traditional or one digital artwork
• a fanvid of at least one minute
• a fanmix with cover art (writers must opt in)
• a podfic of at least one scene (writers must opt in)
• at least two manips or gifs (writers must opt in)

Writers can still submit a draft for claims if it is ~80% complete and 20K or over, but stories must be complete if you want to opt into being claimed by a podficcer.

If you don’t have an idea for an entry yet, check out our Prompt Post and numerous past inspiration posts!

This year, our Discord #bb channel is open as a semi-moderated space all day every day! At this stage, we ask that only prospective writers request the role, so that they can talk about their stories freely and share their progress with each other without giving it away before claims!

If you would like to brainstorm together, share snippets and hang out with your fellow creators, join us here!

We’re very excited to see what everyone comes up with this year, and are happy to answer any questions sent in to cap.im.events@gmail.com, via IM or private ask on our Tumblr, as a comment on the Dreamwidth guidelines post, or publicly on our Discord server.

Everyone who wants to follow cap_ironman's announcements and updates on Discord is welcome to join us. Some channels are restricted to event participants only, but others are open to everyone.

As well as catching up on the latest cap-ironman challenge or inspiration post, you can also share other Stony-related events and notices on the server, organise a watching party, talk about the latest fic you've read and more!

See you there!
