What's a Big Bang?



A big bang is a collaborative event between writers and artists, meant to encourage the finishing of longer stories (in our event, 20,000 words or more). Writers will create a story, artists and other fanworkers will claim a story based on the summary and create an accompanying work for it.

All stories are welcome!



Whether you're a seasoned writer who has participated in the Cap-IM Big Bang in the past, or an aspiring author hoping to get started on the longfic of their dreams, we want to see your Steve/Tony story! You have plenty of time to start writing, and we and the rest of the community will be here cheering you on.

No need to sign up or pre-commit

.

As long as you submit a draft of your story before the end of September 14th, then congratulations—you're part of this year's Big Bang!

If by the time the submission deadline comes around you realize you don't have enough of a word count to send in or that the story won't be as long after all—no need to give up on it. At least you have started and even if it's not going into the 2023 Captain America/Iron Man Big Bang you still have started a draft that you can finish now, whether for the 2023 round, for yourself—or another event!

You can't lose, so try for that story! We'll be excited wherever you send it in.
