FAQs
Is there an age limit to the event?
Yes, you must be 18+ to join the event and the Discord server when it opens.What day do sign-ups open?
June 29th! You can find the full schedule here.Does signing up for this event mean I will be expected to create for both the Classic Big Bang and the Reverse Big Bang?
Nope, not at all! You will still just sign up as usual for the one role you'd like to participate as.Am I allowed to sign up for both sides of the event if I want to?
Yes, you can! This year's sign-up limits are 2 creation roles and 1 beta role (ex: being a writer for both sides of the event, plus betaing for one fic).We do urge you to keep in mind the total amount of work you will be expected to do though, and to only sign up for more than one role if you are confident you'll be able to complete both roles fully.Are there any major changes from last year?
The only major change is that betas will be paired later in the event this year, after the Reverse Writers have had more of a chance to get into their fics.I still have questions!
Many of your questions can probably be answered by reading one of the guidebooks linked below. They are quite similar to each other, so you only need to read the one that is relevant to the side of the event you'd like to participate in.If you still have questions after looking through them, please feel free to @ us on twitter, send an ask or DM on tumblr, or you can send an anonymous question via our Google Form.
