2021 Cap-IM Big Bang


There's just one week left until the 2021 Cap-IM Big Bang drafts are due!


This is a friendly reminder that story drafts are due by the very end of 15 September ("What time is that for me?"). Send us yours to cap.im.events@gmail.com following the protocol listed in our Writers’ Guidelines and you’re all signed up for the Bang!

On 16 September, a preview post showing all the fic summaries and claiming instructions will go up, and then on 18 September at 08:00 EDT ("What time is that for me?"), claims will open. Remember that you do not need to claim a fic yourself if the time doesn't suit; you can ask someone to proxy-claim for you. Anonymous comments will be enabled on the claims post.

Please keep in mind that summaries are posted anonymously during claims, so we urge you to be tactful about revealing any fic details during the pre-claim period. If you need to drop out, you must do so before your work has been claimed; because this is a collaborative challenge, there is no penalty-free drop out after this point.

For the full Big Bang rules and information for submitting and claiming creators, click here.


You can also look through our Big Bang FAQ post for more information.

As a reminder, here's the rest of this year's schedule:
  • October: Creators work on their piece(s), writers finish their fics
  • Saturday, October 23rd: Teams select their November posting dates
  • November: BB entries are posted throughout the month

2021 Cap-IM Big Bang Discord Chat

Our last BB writer encouragement chat is open to all writers who are planning to join Cap-IM Big Bang 2021. Come and cheer each other on, ask questions about the submission process, and do some writing sprints to get your stories to that 20K word count!

Chat times are 12 September, 13:00-16:00 ET (What time is that for me?). Here is a Discord invite for the server. Pop in any time you like during chat hours, but if you can't make it, don't worry — the #bb channel is open 24/7 for you.

We hope to see you there!

As ever, if you have any questions or need some encouragement, please email us at cap.im.events@gmail.com or check our other contact methods here.

Good luck, and we hope to see your drafts in our inbox soon!

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.

Cap-IM Discord Noticeboard


Everyone who wants to follow [community profile] 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!

Get excited, everyone - there are still THREE WEEKS TO CREATE COMMUNITY GIFTS!


We are opening a space in the Cap-IM Challenges Chat Discord to chat about the prompts that inspire you, or that you wish that someone would create for. Ask for a beta, squee over the adorable ideas that other people have, and have a great time!

The Community Gifts channel will be open 24/7, but please note that event mods will only be popping in and out as their schedules allow - this will not be a fully moderated space.

So go on! Browse through the many prompts, pick your faves, and get creating!

Once you finish your gift, submit it to the 2020 AO3 collection and gift it to the “Cap Iron Man Community”. Community Gifts are due by December 27, 22:00 UTC (what time is it for me?).

Remember, anyone can create a fills, and you can make as many Community Gifts as you like, in whatever format you like!
