About the Severus Big Bang Birthday Bash
After Deathly Hallows finally gave us the dates for the parent-generation in the Potterverse, we now know that Severus was born on January 9th, 1960.*
And that means, he turns 50 in 2010!
What better way to celebrate his 50th birthday than by coming together and showing how creative and original the Snape-related part of the fandom is?
A Big Bang Like No Other
We are well aware that a traditional Big Bang in fandom is run differently and that we have deviated quite a bit from the original concept. As far as we’re aware, the first Big Bang was organized in the Drarry fandom. There is a summary about the evolution of Big Bangs on this fanlore wiki site if you want to read more.
We considered renaming the fest since we aren’t offering a writing/illustration exchange, nor are we aiming for a release of sexual tension specifically (although we won’t complain about it), nor do we have a very high word count requirement. We are picturing this event more in the original sense of a big bang: the creation of a new universe. We didn’t rename the community in the end as people were already watching theseverusbigbang, and we didn’t want to confuse them.
Thus, we apologize to everyone who came here under the impression that this is a ‘traditional big bang’ where you get an illustration for your fic. It is not. It is a Big Bang like no other. Look around, perhaps you’ll like what you see. If you do, help us generate a universe of creativity with our favourite Bat of the Dungeons at its centre.
*Even though there are rumours that JKR said somewhere his birth year is 1959, we are going with the canon dates.
Categories:
The Bang:
- Drabbles, at least 10x100 words. Can be more.
- Shorter fic from 2,000 to 15,000 words.
- A series of elaborate sketches or one image (traditional or digital).
The Big Bang:
- Serial drabbles, minimum of 25x100 words.
- Longer fic, 15,000 words and up.
- More than one image (traditional or digital), with individual scenes or a series of related scenes.
- Photographs or copies of a piece or series of pieces of a project: ceramics, crafts, film and music are all encouraged!
Dates:
Preliminary Sign ups from June 1 to June 30, 2009
First Draft due and definite sign ups October 1, 2009
Final Version due November 15, 2009
Posting and celebrations begin January 9, 2010
