[livejournal.com profile] scifibigbang Sign-ups Begin March 1

I love this comm and writing a big bang fiction is fun. With this community, you can choose almost anything!

Go here and write!

Sci-Fi and Fantasy Big Bang
What is a Big Bang?
A Big Bang challenge is where you have four months to write a 25,000 word story.

Not an author? No worries, there’s plenty of room for artists, beta readers, alpha readers, and cheerleaders. This Big Bang is specific to Sci-Fi or fantasy based fanfic.

There are some excellent Big Bang comms out there…this is to expand on that, not to infringe on them. I know some sci-fi followings are small and I wanted a chance to put a large collection of sci-fi/fantasy big bang fics together.

What can I write about?
The list a broad. If you’re into movies, you can write about anything from Tron to Lord of the Rings to The Matrix.

Maybe you are a anime/cartoon fan, then write a big bang fic for Thundercats to Cowboy Bepop to everything in between.

Video games? Sure, bring on the Bioshock or Final Fantasy fic.

Is TV your thing? Then write a Star Trek fic or maybe you’ve been itching to write an ALF fic.

Want to expand on a book universe? Go for it.

Vampires, aliens, fringe science…all of them fit into the category.
