Welcome to the Thiam Big Bang 2023!

It’s that time again, Thiam Lovers - due to popular demand, we’re hosting another Big Bang Event! 

How does this work?

We’ve decided to try something different this year! We all know what it’s like to struggle with muse and many of us have unfinished works collecting dust, crying out so that they may one day be finished and released to be devoured by readers. It’s time to dust off those plots and bring new life to them! Introducing: Something Old, Something New!

There will be two tracks for this Big Bang: creating a brand new work or completing an unfinished work. Writers will create/update an original Theo/Liam work. About halfway through, writers will submit a rough draft and summaries of their work. During this time, there will be a claiming phase for artists to claim a writers’ summary that they want to create art for. You will then work with your writer/artist/beta to create amazing works for the Big Bang!

What are the rules?

There is no word limit! We just ask that you produce a finished work by the final deadline.

Artists, create to your heart’s content using whatever medium you prefer.

The main pairing must exclusively be Thiam - poly relationships including Thiam are not allowed. Side pairings/relationships are still allowed. 

Your fic can be any genre; canon, AU, etc. The floor is yours to write what you want! Take your prompt and run wild with it!

WIPs that are already posted to the public can be used for the Big Bang. However, it cannot be a work from a previous Big Bang event or any other event that had a partnership between artists/authors that was created by the OTL team. 

Additionally, if you have started something that you would like to use, and it has not been posted to the public, you can do that.

During the Big Bang, works must not be made public before final posting dates. If you are doing the WIP track, you are not allowed to post updates/new chapters to your fic during the course of the event. You must wait until the end to post your updates. You can of course talk with your friends, beta, and artist, for plot points, ideas, etc. Please also keep details about your story a secret during the course of the event. This keeps it a fun surprise for everyone when works are posted!

Work together with your partners as you create! This is meant to be a collaborative effort. Artists, please do not throw fully fledged spiral ideas at your writers. Authors, please communicate with your artists about your vision. The two of you need to work together for this event to be a success for all!

If an author and artist wish to pair up on their own and create, please do so! The more participants, the merrier! Please make sure that both parties fill out the sign-up sheet for the sake of check-ins.

Betas:

Betas are not required for this event! If you have your own beta, great! Betas usually help with grammar and spelling but can also help with ideas, plot holes, etc. Beta readers, please sign up using the form provided! It will be the same form used for artists and authors.

Cheerleaders:

If you are also interested in being a cheerleader for our writers/artists, please jump right in! Cheerleaders offer encouragement, support, can act as a sounding board for ideas, or just generally chat about Thiam and/or the Big Bang event. You can be a cheerleader and a beta, a cheerleader for an artist, author or both. It will be the same form used for artists and authors.

A friend and I already have an idea for a fanfic/fanart collaboration - do we still have to go through the traditional sign up?

The Big Bang is the perfect occasion to do a collab! The sign-up form is adapted to these situations. So, yes, we do ask that you fill out the sign up form and state that you are partnered already. You will not receive the prompt bank in this case. You will still need to take part in check ins so that we know you are on track for posting dates.

Can I sign up with a co-author?

Yes! When filling out the sign up form, please state your co-author and ask them to submit a form as well.

Can I sign up as a writer AND an artist?

Yes you can! But please make sure you can fulfill the responsibilities you’re signing up for. Please ensure you have time to complete your fic and create art for the writer you are paired up with.

What happens if there is an uneven number of writers and artists?

We will have an option for artists/authors to do a second pairing and if needed advertise for pinch hitters. We will do everything we can to ensure that every prompt has both a writer and an artist so everyone can participate in this event.

Checkpoints:

We will send out reminder emails during each checkpoint. These will be gentle reminders, used for encouragement and motivation, to check in with you in your writing process. The first mandatory checkpoint will be August 19, where we will ask for confirmation that writer and artist partners have been in contact with each other. The second mandatory checkpoint will be September 23, where writers and artists must confirm you are on track for finishing your work by the posting week.

What if I need to drop out?

We know real life can get in the way sometimes. If you need to drop out, can’t meet the deadline, etc. please contact the mods ASAP (preferably no later than the second mandatory check-in on September 23 so we can find a pinch hitter). 

Posting/ Submissions:

There will be a Thiam Big Bang collection on AO3 to post all of your works. If you don’t have an AO3 account, you can sign up here. Please be aware that it might take several weeks to get an invitation to create an account. If you are a member of the OTL Discord, post and ask members if they have any invitations they can share with you as many of us have multiple we can give out. Submissions are posted on AO3, and it must be a masterpost of the fic and art. The collection will be unrevealed and moderated to ensure that posts are not revealed before the final due date.

Tumblr Posts:

When posting on tumblr, please use #thiambigbang2023 and #officialthiamlibrary in your first five tags so we can find it and reblog your works. Again, when posting on tumblr, it must be a masterpost with both the fic and art. Please DO NOT post your works for public viewing before the final deadline. And of course, if tumblr is acting wonky and your posts are still not showing up in the tags, you can always mention us in the post, submit it here, or email us at [email protected].

Schedule:

Sign-Ups Open: July 21

Sign-Ups Close: July 28

Writer Summaries: July 31

Partnership Emails Sent: August 4

First Mandatory Writer and Artist Check-In: August 19

Second Mandatory Writer and Artist Check-In: September 23

Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

Summary:

Enter Liam Dunbar: by night a skilled bender in an underground fighting ring, by day the perfect daughter of a wealthy Fire Nation family. Whenever he tries to bend under someone else’s instruction, it quite literally blows up in his face. When he's found by Scott McCall and his gang, he thinks it’s the perfect opportunity to help teach the Avatar firebending while learning to control his own. What he didn’t expect is the angsty waterbender challenging his every move. Enter Theo Raeken: the last waterbender of the Southern Water Tribe, orphan, and the Avatar’s childhood best friend. After his sister’s death, he swore revenge on the Fire Nation, and while Scott traveled the world to learn control of the four elements, Theo was more than content to tag along to both support his friend and fulfill his promise along the way. Picking up a Fire Nation stray isn’t on his agenda, especially not when the firebender’s temper runs as hot as the fire he controls. As the two benders travel throughout the four nations, they must try to get past their differences while fighting a war at the same time. There’s a reason water and fire don’t mix; can they make peace for the Avatar’s sake, or are they just too different?

Intervals of Falling by @lovelylittlegrim

Summary:

12 months.

That’s all Liam has to survive after deciding to be roommates with Theo. They’ve known each other for years at this point. They’ve fought wars and creatures and have made it through. So living together should be a piece of cake, right?

What’s the worst that could happen?

[eneiryu]

Do you have any theo/thiam fic recommendations?

I love all of your works and I can't stop going back and rereading them all they're soooooo *chefs kiss* <3

So I’ve had to admit this before, and it remains embarrassing as ever, but I don’t actually read much S5-and-onward fic. 😬 If you want some recs for Clarke/Lexa (the 100), Steve/Bucky (Captain America), or Oliver/Felicity (Arrow), among some others, I’ve got you, but otherwise I’m afraid I won’t be of much use.

But that doesn’t mean no one would be! So I am tagging some folks who I hope won’t mind, with the encouragement to share their own thiam fics, or their recommendations: @officialthiamlibrary , @equallyloyalandlethal , @ksbbb , @tonytones5000 , @theoceanismyinkwell , @inabottlelikelightning , @jmeelee , @snaeken , @extrasteps , @wolfboy88 .

And I would be remiss if I didn’t also tag two amazing TW/Thiam fan artists, whose work everyone should also check out: @artzeppo , @pottersfieldcustodian .

(I obviously couldn’t tag everyone, so I encourage others to tag their own favorite authors/artists/friends to share their work as well!)

Summary: When Theo gets shot by Monroe, he expects to find himself back in the hellscape with Tara. Instead, he finds himself alone in the preserve with no idea how he survived. All he knows is he needs to find Liam. It's only when he does, and he finds no one can see or hear him that he realizes he might not have survived after all. Now, it's up to him to find a way to communicate with Liam and the pack and warn them of the danger lurking in town, threatening them all. While also working through all the things he never got to say to Liam and figuring out what's still keeping him here.

Thank you to Snaeken for his wonderful art that I'm totally normal about and really not obsessed with!! Go check the original art post here and his page @snaeken !! 🥹🥰

Synopsis:

As he makes it into the restaurant, it quickly dawns on Harris that he might have underestimated how ready Theo and Liam were for a fight, and a simple breaking and entering soon turns into clown shoes. A movie fix-it.

Tags: Thiam. Movie averted by Theo being there. They run a restaurant in the US. Harris is back. Arguing as love language. Sterek plus Eli. Texting. Canon-Typical Violence.
