The Triangle Has Taken Over My Brain And Demanded I Make A 4 Layer Art Piece :,)

Alrighty folks, new year new DCA server!

Okay so we’ve seen a lot of lonely/socially awkward/new DCA fans looking for a place to talk to others and me and @flinxypie who kindly helped build this server are hoping this could be a fun place where we can coax each other out of our shells or at least spend a little while going pssppssppssssp with cat treats in an attempt to lure each other out from under the fandom sofa. The chat’s name is as of yet undecided (to be confirmed once poll results are in) but don’t let that stop you from joining along if you’re interested!

Here’s the link: https://discord.gg/4SYgUdW7Qc

This is a place to make friends where we embrace our awkwardness, our loneliness, and maybe we do it scared but we do it anyway (don’t worry, you’re in good company!). We don’t want to put anyone up on a pedestal out of other people’s reach or have fandom in general be a big competition or grind to get “famous” or stay “relevant”, just a fun space where we’re all equally silly little guys and get to talk about fun things we collectively like and have fun doing it at our own pace.

We plan on doing throwback days for older art, we have channels where you can adopt or be adopted by new friends (a little attention seeking is good and fine actually if you’re willing to give as good as you get) or if all words are failing you you can talk in meows or pictures or one word sentences in one of our quiet channels if you wish (fun fact: there are a surprising number of house cats and cryptids in the DCA fandom). Be a part of some silly fun art/writing trades, magmas or themed art/reblog chains and let’s all draw ourselves with our AU versions or do picrews (We also want to bring back the DCA sleepovers and interaction chains because those looked fun!) along with a bunch more stuff we likely haven’t thought of yet!

Everybody is welcome, lurkers are loved, and new friends are eagerly anticipated - let’s do this! 🎠

I hate bill cipher

(Glues paper to sketchbook)

he’s so darn annoying

(Smooths out creases from recipes and glues)

he won’t leave my darn brain

(Cuts out doodles from various papers)

it’s like he’s possessing me or something

(Places sticker number 42)

forcing me to be an art slave

(scribbles in markers)

I should get a metal plate installed

We've put together a little infographic for those of you who may still be wondering what a Big Bang is, and how it works ✨

Full text under the cut!

Big Bangs and You

As presented by the mods of the Transformers Big Bang

What is a Big Bang, Anyway?

The First Big Bang

Big Bangs are an ooooold fandom tradition, dating back to the bygone times of 2005, when the very first Big Bang was banged. 

The original Bang, the “Big Bang, Baby Challenge”, was invitation only, and the minimum word count was 50,000 words! The goal was to create a huge influx of novel-length, illustrated fics for the fandom.

Other people thought this was a really neat idea, so they started hosting their own Bangs.

Banging in the Modern Age

Big Bangs today are a little different. They’re usually open-invitation, and the minimum word counts are often much shorter (ours last year was only 10K, and this year it’s 15K!)

But the goal is the same: to create a massive influx of new, illustrated longfics in the fandom, which drops all at once with a BANG. 

There are also Reverse Big Bangs, where artists create their pieces first, and writers make fics for them!

How to Bang

Everyone who’s interested signs up .

Fic writers and fanartists are paired together to collaborate!

The ficcer writes a fic that meets the word count and kicks ass.

The artist creates the required number of illustrations for it, which ALSO kick ass.

Everyone posts their fic and art all at the same time, creating an EXPLOSION of new kickass content

Everyone profits- even the people who didn’t participate!

Is it Like a Zine?

NO. THIS IS NOT LIKE A ZINE. THERE ARE NO APPLICATIONS, NO PUBLICATION, AND IT’S ALL FREE. 

You Mentioned Something About a TF Big Bang?

Heck yeah I did. This infographic  is brought to you by the mod team of last year’s Transformers Big Bang- now in its second year!

Last Year

The TF Big Bang produced 63 fics, 91 illustrations, and over 1.3 million new words for Transformers fandom.

This year we hope to be even Bigger and Bangier.
