What is a big bang?
A bigbang is an event that gives writers and artists a chance to collaborate. During the bigbang, writers will anonymously submit a prompt for a story which will then be picked up by interested artists. Once paired, the two will work together to bring that prompt to life.What is this big bang about?
Serenade focuses on the relationship between Venti (Barbatos) and Zhongli (Morax). Whether participants want to create general content or ship content, that is completely up to them.Who can participate in this event?
For this event, we are looking for writers, artists as well as betas, cheerleaders and pinch-hitters. As long as you have a passion for Zhongven, you're more than welcome to participate in the event!How will the event work?
Once the contributors have filled out their respective forms, they'll be invited to join the Serenade discord server. From then, writers will have to submit their story summaries - a basic outline of what they want to write- via the google form posted in the server. The summaries will then be shown to the artists anonymously and they'll have to pick the summaries that interest them the most. Based on their interest, we'll pair writers with artists and if we're able to get enough betas, we'd like to pair them as well.Will the event have switch content?
Yes! As long as the main focus of your piece is Venti and Zhongli, the dynamic between them is completely up to you.Are other ships allowed?
You're more than welcome to have other pairings in your piece, however, the main focus should always be Zhongven.Is NSFW allowed?
After the interest check results, NSFW will be allowed. We just ask participants to tag all their work appropriately.Is there any kind of content that is not allowed?
