A Big Bang, often referred to as a Bang, is a fandom event where writers and artists collaborate. Writers will write a story and artists will create a piece of artwork to go with the story.
You can finder a deeper history on Bangs here.
How Does It Work?
Once authors sign up, they can begin writing. The minimum word count is 5000 words. There is no maximum, but please try to be realistic as the idea is for the fic to be finished before artists claim them. The author will write a short summary of their fic which the artists will read and then submit a claim. Claims are on a first come, first serve basis. If multiple people claim a fic, whoever does so first will be the artists to draw for it.
Once paired, the artist will then read the fic and begin to create art for the fic. At the end of the event, the stories and the art will be posted during the same week. This creates an influx of content for the fandom for everyone to enjoy.

Stanley is an average borrower. He lives in the walls of an apartment building with the rest of his colony. They take what they need from the apartment’s residents while remaining hidden.
Stanley is good at his job. He’s very clever. Stanley is so clever, that he often acts before thinking and relies on his smarts to get him out of whatever situation he gets himself into.
This method has always worked for him. Not once has he ever been caught or even seen.
But, there’s a first time for everything, Stanley.

Keiki, a naturally magically altered mer from the fantasy world Aurea.
Age: Born in the 1600's
Personality: Playful, kind, very social and affectionate. He's quite impulsive and doesn't always think things through. He tries his best and wants to be helpful but is prone to clumsiness. Easily distracted.
Sizeshifter: Being magically altered, he's got the ability to change his size. He always tries to stay as small as possible, but he often ends up regrowing in spurts if he's startled, sleeping etc. On the sheet is his smallest size possible, compared to a 6ft person.
Background: Both of his parents died after swimming through a magic underwater current, trying to escape a giant predator. The then newborn Keiki survived but was magically altered and grew to a gigantic size. He then swam around in a bay, taking fish from fishing boats and terrifying the locals as they thought he was a large non-sapient sea creature. A bounty was put on him.
A crew of renowned hunters responded to the plea for help. After successfully bringing the baby to the surface they realized that he was just that; a baby. The crew took him in, hoping to come across a pod of merfolk to pass him on to. They ended up raising him anyways.
Other notes:
Communication: A syrinx allows him to communicate above and below water (underwater the air is circulated beteen the lungs, no air escapes unless he wants to). He chirps, whistles and clicks like other merfolk on Aurea. He's not able to produce human speech but he tries to mimic certain sounds with mixed result. He's also very expressive and good at communicating with gestures.
Magically altered: Due to being magically altered, his own magic is prone to become unstable. It gets worse in cycles, if he doesn't actively stabilize it himself it'll worsen until the point he gets sick. At that point his body regulates the magic on it's own but it takes longer. He'll then be unable to use his sizeshifting ability and will be stuck at his actual size until his body is done stabilizing itself.
Diet: He eats a wide variety of sea creatures, sea greens, and fruits from Titanik (a continent where everything is large). He's also able to digest magic and it's the most important part of his diet as it gives him more energy compared to everything else. Keiki can live off of magic alone if needed, but he enjoys "solids" more.
Jeon Soyeon, the leader of a Korean girl group name (G)-IDLE, also a rapper and a record producer named her three characters with white hair which are her ideal type and Gojo Satoru is one of them❕

Deer nabor Dear neighbor, please stop calling the polise police, I am okay, my big brother takes very good care of me, he is not bad just bekcause you think his he’s scary.
He is kind and always plays with me bekus because nobody else will. He keeps my bully’s away and carries me everywhere. I love him very much and he never shouts at me like daddy did and let’s me eat sweeties because mommy isn’t around to call me a piggy anymore.
We are very happy even thogh though I miss mommy sometimes, but I don’t miss daddy because he shouted and hit Branch, now his face is funny and it won’t go back to normal, but I still tell him he’s the most handsome big brother in the world.
He is NOT a murderer and I don’t want to be taken away. :(
Lots of love
Dusty
(Ps: please don’t tell Branch I sent this sekrt secret letter, he doesn’t like me talking to you anymore)
