There will be a designated preview week and you will be allowed to have your wip featured (if you would like).Any submitted content must be original and unpublished.All check-ins for this event are mandatory. Participants must complete them within the deadline, or ask for an extension prior to the end of the check-in period. If you miss both of the first two check-ins without any contact, you will be considered a dropout and we will get a pinch hitter for your position.Teams must post their pieces on the same day during the posting period.

Writers

Writer Sign Up FormWord Count Minimum: 5,000 wordsWorks must meet the minimum word count by the end of the event. If the piece ends up being longer, you are required to post at least the minimum word count amount to AO3. The rest can be posted on your own time!All writers must have an AO3 account to participate, and must tag and rate the created piece appropriately. This includes tagging background relationships and any possibly triggering content.Writers must link their artist’s piece and credit their artist (and beta reader if one was assigned).Writers will have a check-in prior to the creation period to submit their fic summaries and additional information (rating, tags, etc.) for claims. Summaries will be provided to artists and betas anonymously to be selected.

artists

Artist Sign Up FormRequirement: One piece with flat color/greyscale, minimal backgroundAny style (traditional, digital, comic) may be used for the event. Pieces must be posted to socmed during the posting period.Artists will submit their top 5 summaries during claims, which will be used to pair the teams.Artists may select to work with more than one team. However, this does not guarantee you will be paired with more than one pitch.Please work with your writer to pick scenes you are both comfortable having illustrating. Even if you select an NSFW or dark/problematic summary, you can choose the level of explicit/darkness you wish to illustrate (as long as it stays true to the chosen scene and the writer's vision, and as long as that is ok with your writer). However, please understand you will likely be reading the fic, so please do not select a fic that has content you are uncomfortable with.

betas

Beta Sign Up FormBeta readers in this event will provide assistance and feedback to their matched writer(s). This assistance can be in brainstorming/plot development assistance, cheerleading, spelling/punctuation/grammar (SPaG), etc.Beta readers can choose more than 1 piece to beta-read. We simply ask that you take stock of your capabilities and time, as no matter how many pieces you choose to beta read for, you will be held to the same guidelines and check-ins.Beta readers will choose from summaries that are looking for a beta. Please select summaries that you feel comfortable reading for, by looking at their ratings and tags.

pinch hitters

Pinch Hitter Sign Up FormA pinch hitter is someone who steps in when a writer, artist, or beta drops from the event. Pinch hitters will be contacted in the discord server, and will receive summary information on a first-come-first-serve basis.When you sign up as a pinch hitter, there is no guarantee that you will be needed to step in. In addition, there is no penalty for refusing to work on a summary you are not interested in.Pinch hitters will be held to the same requirements as creators or beta readers. Extensions for pinch hitters will be discussed on a case-by-case basis.

dropping out

We understand that emergencies and personal situations come up! All we ask is that you inform us rather than ghost the event and your team.If you cannot continue in your role or finish your ZoSanZo Bang contribution, please DM a mod immediately. Once you inform the mods, we will begin the process to recruit a pinch hitter for your team.The drop out deadline is: August 12th 2024. This is to ensure that there is enough time to find a pinch hitter and ensure your team has sufficient time to also complete their parts.
