FAQ

What is the NagiReo Big Bang?_{NagiReo Big Bang (NGRO BB) is a moderated event in which writers and artists will be paired up to collaborate and create an explosion of content for the Blue Lock ship NagiReo (Nagi Seishiro x Mikage Reo).}How does it work?_{Just like other bangs, writers will submit summaries of the work they intend to create for the event, and artists will submit and rank the pitches they’d like to illustrate. Mods will pair creators according to preference and compatibility. Final creations will be posted on AO3.
Creators may be assigned a beta reader if desired. In the event a creator drops out of the event, their place will be filled by a pinch hitter.}What type of content is allowed?_{This event will allow SFW, NSFW, and Dead Dove (dd) content. More detailed explanations soon.Due to the nature of the content allowed in this event, we ask that all participants be at least 18 years old. By taking part in this event you are confirming that you are 18 or above. Anyone found lying about their age will be removed from the event and banned from taking part in future events hosted by this mod team.}Are other pairings/characters allowed?_{As the theme of the event, NagiReo must be the main pairing of the content created. Other characters and relationships may feature in the work created to the discretion of the creators.}Can a participant take on multiple roles?_{A participant who wishes to take on multiple roles (writer, artist, pinch-hitter, or beta reader) may do so as long as they are willing to commit to the rules and guidelines each role entails. We ask that creators evaluate their time and capability responsibly before signing up.}WritersHow long does a work have to be?
_{The minimum expected word count by the end of the creation period is 5000 words. There is no word limit.}Do works have to be strictly romantic?
_{No. Works are required to centre around the relationship between Reo and Nagi, however the nature of this relationship is up to the creators’ discretion. Platonic and romantic relationships alike are welcome.}Can I submit a WIP?
_{Any content submitted must be original and unpublished. This means works that are in drafting stages but have not been posted online are allowed to participate, however works that have already been published online (complete or ongoing) are not.}Can I submit more than one pitch?
_{Yes. However, we ask participants to measure their time and capability responsibly. Each submission will be held to the same rules and expectations. Each pitch will also have to be submitted individually and will be followed up on individually.}Does the work have to be finished by the posting period?
_{Yes. The work, in its entirety, must be completed by the posting period. This applies to multi-chaptered works as well. To encourage and assist the completion process, we will have 4 check-ins spread throughout the creation period to track progress and address difficulties.}What are the posting requirements?
_{All writers must have an AO3 account from which to post their work. Besides meeting the minimum word count requirement, all writers are expected to tag and rate their content appropriately. This includes tagging relationships correctly and warning/tagging potentially triggering content. Beta-readers must be credited.}Do multi-chaptered works have to be published in full on the same day?
_{No. Creators may choose to spread out the posting of chapters over multiple days. However the work must be completed by posting date.}ArtistsWhat are the minimum requirements for a completed piece?
_{Artists will be expected to create at least one fully rendered piece with a simple/flat background illustrating the writer’s story by the end of the creation period. Works may either be in colour or black and white.This is a minimum requirement, not a limit. If artists wish to produce more than one piece, or make their background more elaborate, that’s okay! We encourage you to have fun!Sketches and line-art will not be counted as a full piece.}Is there a skill requirement?
_{No. Artists of all skill levels are welcome to participate in this event.}Are there restrictions on art mediums?
_{No. Artists may choose to produce their art in whatever medium, whether traditional or digital.However, art produced must be in digital form by the posting date as the final joint creation between writer and artist will be posted online. This means art created through traditional mediums must be scanned in high resolution in order to be displayed online.}Can I claim more than one pitch?
_{Yes. When artists submit their selections and rankings of the pitches they’d like to create for, they will be asked how many pitches they would like to be paired with. This does not however guarantee they will be paired with more than one pitch. We also ask participants to measure their time and capability responsibly, as each piece of art will be held to the same rules and expectations.}If I am paired with an NSFW/DD summary, must my artwork also be NSFW/DD?
_{No. You are allowed to pick any scene from the summary/storyline and illustrate it to whatever degree of explicit-ness you are comfortable with.}What are the posting requirements?
_{Writers must provide a social media profile with which to credit their work. Prior to posting the work, artists must provide authors a linkable copy of their work of art. This implies the image must be hosted on a web server.There is no size requirement, however we ask artists to bear visibility in mind when creating their work.}Beta-readers and Pinch hittersWhat is a beta reader?
_{A beta reader is a person who reads a writer’s work prior to it being published in order to spot errors and provide suggestions on improvement if solicited.}What will this event entail for beta readers?
_{When signing up as a beta reader, participants will be asked what they are willing to do as a beta reader (SPaG, plot development assistance, cheerleading, etc), what content they are comfortable/uncomfortable reading, and how many works they are willing to beta-read.If during the creation process a writer requests a beta reader, mods will contact participants who have signed up as beta readers in order to match beta to writer. This will be done taking account both the beta’s preferences and the writer’s needs.When contacted, a beta reader will receive the writer’s pitch/summary, as well as trigger and content warnings (if any). Betas will then decide if they would like to work with the writer or not.}What is a pinch hitter?
_{A pinch-hitter is a person who fills in another participant’s place in case someone leaves the event. This event will have both artist and writer pinch hitters.}What will this event entail for pinch-hitters?
_{If a participant (artist or writer) leaves the event and leaves a vacancy, mods may contact a pinch hitter to take their place. Because this could happen at any time during the creation process, expectations of a pinch hitter’s work may vary depending on the time left for completion. These expectations will be left at moderators’ discretion and will be informed when the pitch is offered to a pinch hitter along with any other accommodations mods may offer. Pinch hitters are free to turn down offers.}
