What is a reverse bang?
A bang is an event during which fic writers pitch an idea, and then are teamed up with an artist to create an illustrated fic.
A reverse bang is a bang where an artist comes up with the prompt: the author writes the fic based on that idea.
A mini bang is different from usual (“big”) bangs only in the requirements: fics are shorter, and the art is less complex.So if all the below details are tl;dr at first, how should you imagine a reverse minibang?
artists sign up with an idea. (“Jason and Dick are firefighters!”)
authors choose from all the ideas submitted (“Oh, I could write a firefighter!AU”)
the teams get around four months to work on their piece: in the end, they will end up with an art piece and a fic based on the original idea ("Fiery love!" #alternate universe - firefighters)
finally, we all gorge ourselves on all the good content
