Welcome to the Thiam Big Bang 2025!

Back by popular demand, it’s time for another Big Bang Event! This time, we’ve got a brand new theme for you all to sink your claws into.

The Theme

'The Big Bad Wolf' is the theme of this year’s Big Bang. In your fic, we would love to see Thiam partnering up against some kind of enemy. Is it the return of Monroe and her hunters? A new supernatural threat? An alternate universe with its own monsters? There are no wrong answers here! 

How does this work?

Writers will create an original Theo/Liam work. In a few weeks, writers will submit summaries of their works. During this time, there will be a claiming phase for artists to claim a writer’s summary that they want to create art for. You will then work with your writer/artist/beta to create amazing works for the Big Bang!

What are the rules?

There is a minimum word limit of 10k. There is no maximum word count. We also ask that you produce a finished work by the final deadline.

Artists, create to your heart’s content using whatever medium you prefer. These include, but are not limited to: music playlists, video edits, aesthetics, moodboards, drawings, etc. The world is your oyster!

The main pairing must exclusively be Thiam - poly relationships including Thiam are not allowed. Side pairings/relationships are still allowed, but Thiam must be the central focus and endgame pairing of your fic.

Your fic can be any genre; canon, AU, etc. The floor is yours to write what you want, as long as it includes a Big Bad Wolf! Take your prompt and run wild with it!

Your entry for the Big Bang cannot be a work that is already published in any form. This must be a creation from scratch! Sequels to existing fics are allowed, as long as it has not already been published.

During the Big Bang, works must not be made public before final posting dates. You can of course talk with your friends, beta, and artist, for plot points, ideas, etc. Please also keep details about your story a secret during the course of the event. This keeps it a fun surprise for everyone when works are posted!

Work together with your partners as you create! This is meant to be a collaborative effort. Artists and authors, please communicate with each other about your vision. The two of you need to work together for this event to be a success for all!

If an author and artist wish to pair up on their own and create, please do so! The more participants, the merrier! Please make sure that both parties fill out the sign-up sheet for the sake of check-ins.

Betas:

Betas are not required for this event. If you have your own beta, great! Betas usually help with grammar and spelling but can also help with ideas, plot holes, etc. Beta readers, please sign up using the form provided. It will be the same form used for artists and authors.

Cheerleaders:

If you are also interested in being a cheerleader for our writers/artists, please jump right in! Cheerleaders offer encouragement, support, can act as a sounding board for ideas, or just generally chat about Thiam and/or the Big Bang event. You can be a cheerleader and a beta, a cheerleader for an artist, author or both. It will be the same form used for artists and authors.

A friend and I already have an idea for a fanfic/fanart collaboration - do we still have to go through the traditional sign up?

The Big Bang is the perfect occasion to do a collab! The sign-up form is adapted to these situations. So, yes, we do ask that you fill out the sign up form and state that you are partnered already. Artists will not receive the prompt bank in this case. You will still need to take part in check ins so that we know you are on track for posting dates.

Can I sign up with a co-author?

Yes! When filling out the sign up form, please state your co-author and ask them to submit a form as well.

Can I sign up as a writer AND an artist?

Yes you can! But please make sure you can fulfill the responsibilities you’re signing up for. Please ensure you have time to complete your fic and create art for the writer you are paired up with.

What happens if there is an uneven number of writers and artists?

We will have an option for artists/authors to do a second pairing, and advertise for pinch hitters if needed. We will do everything we can to ensure that every prompt has both a writer and an artist so everyone can participate in this event.

Checkpoints:

We will send out reminder emails during each checkpoint. These will be gentle reminders, used for encouragement and motivation, to check in with you in your writing process. The first mandatory checkpoint will be June 29th, where we will ask for confirmation that writer and artist partners have been in contact with each other. The second mandatory checkpoint will be July 27th, and the final mandatory checkpoint will be August 30th, where writers and artists must confirm you are on track for finishing your work by the posting week.

What if I need to drop out?

We know real life can get in the way sometimes. If you need to drop out, can’t meet the deadline, etc. please contact the mods ASAP (preferably no later than the second mandatory check-in on July 27th so we can find a pinch hitter). 

Posting/ Submissions:

There will be a Thiam Big Bang collection on AO3 to post all of your works. If you don’t have an AO3 account, you can sign up here. Please be aware that it might take several weeks to get an invitation to create an account. If you are a member of the OTL Discord, post and ask members if they have any invitations they can share with you as many of us have multiple we can give out. Submissions are posted on AO3, and it must be a masterpost of the fic and art. The collection will be unrevealed and moderated to ensure that posts are not revealed before the final due date.

Tumblr Posts:

When posting on tumblr, please use #thiambigbang25 and #officialthiamlibrary in your first five tags so we can find it and reblog your works. Again, when posting on Tumblr, it must be a masterpost with both the fic and art. Please DO NOT post your final works before the final deadline. And of course, if tumblr is acting wonky and your posts are still not showing up in the tags, you can always mention us in the post, submit it here, or email us at officialthiamlibrary@gmail.com.

Earlier I was scrolling Reddit and I come across a post in r/shrooms, a sub reddit dedicated to psychadelic mushrooms and frequently featuring entries from users who are posting during a trip.

A guy posts, freaking out, that the delivery person who dropped off his food had a huge snake wrapped around his neck and the snake was talking to him and tripped him out.

He shares a picture ne sneakily took of the delivery driver.

The delivery driver actually does, in fact, have a live 7 or so foot long boa constrictor draped across his shoulders.

Can you fucking image. Being blasted out of your gourd on hallucinogenic substances, getting a random knock at the door and the guy has a live gigantic snake just chilling. Your head would explode

The City of Gilded Wolves

A soundtrack for the Thiam fic of the same title by @equallyloyalandlethal (TooCreative4Life) for the @officialthiamlibrary 2024 Thiam Big Bang event... ok it's kind of a soundtrack for the whole Brave, Intrepid, and Then Some... series BUT The City of Gilded Wolves is the current part

Bad Moon A Rising - Mourning Ritual: This is the soundtrack to the prologue. It is also Marcel/The Surgeon’s theme song

How Far I'll Go - No Resolve: Liam’s personal theme before he convinces Mason to stowaway

You're Gonna Go Far Kid - The Offspring: Theo’s personal theme for his time with the doctors and getting Liam and Mason to the city

El Dorado - Elton John: Ok this was just playing in my head as they made their way through the jungle

Psych Theme Song: Liam and Mason stumbling into the half hearted con and no one believing it but going with it anyway

Home - Nick Jonas: Liam finding his home with the gilded wolves.

Crawling - Linkin Park: Theo’s angsty existential crisis

Punching Bag - Acoustic - Set It Off: Theo’s fight song.

I Can See For Miles - The Who: Stiles' theme song.

Criminal - Disturbed: Theo at his absolute lowest.

Here's To The Heartbreakers: when Liam realizes how he's been manipulated.

Til my Heart Stops Too Far Moon: Theo’s song towards the end

Sweet Sacrifice - Evanescence: Tara’s song

Devotion - Hurts: Thiam’s Song

Fools Lauren Aquilina: Theo and Tara’s song for the epilogue

Running Home To You By Grant Gustin: For the very special Thiam moment in the epilogue. If this were a movie this is the song that would play first in the credits.

[bookwyrm07]

A City of Tears

A playlist inspired by this A City of Tears by @gabes-world-and-stuff for the @officialthiamlibrary 's Thiam Big Bang 2024

A brief look into my head and why I chose each song:

True Love - Pink

Liam's song to Theo. He just tends to punch in the face rather than wrap his hands around Theo's neck.

Honest - Kodaline

These two boys can't stop themselves from lying to each other.

Welcome To New York (Taylor's Version) Taylor Swift

This is Liam's song for entering Hyalis.

Being Me To Life - Evanescence

Ok Theo yelling Wake up at the beginning of chapter 2 put this in my head so everyone gets to share my earworm.

Bleak December - Set It Off

All the secrets leading thiam into more and more trouble.

Call It What You Want - Taylor Swift

Thiam song. They will always be the last to know they are in love.

Better Than I Used To Be - Tim McGraw

Theo’s song.

Look What You Made Me Do - Taylor Swift

Tara’s song.

@officialthiamlibrary Big Bang! Six seasons and a movie. Art by my very talented friend @xtarmanderx

[bookwyrm07]

Artwork for High Dive by @lovelylittlegrim for @officialthiamlibrary's 2024 Thiam Big Bang

Summary:

“Are you crazy,” Liam asks him suddenly.

Theo blinks. “Me, you’re asking if I’m crazy. You’re the idiot that jumped off a roof.”

Liam steps closer, voice hushed but high in his horror. “What if someone saw you — what if someone saw me?”

“Everyone saw you.”

—

Or, the fic where one drunken moment of insanity at a frat party leads to something Liam hadn’t been expecting… leads to someone Liam hadn’t been expecting.

Welcome to the Thiam Big Bang 2024!

Wow! It’s that time of year already! Back by popular demand, it’s time for another Big Bang Event! This time, we’ve got a little surprise thanks to the votes for this year’s theme!

How does this work?

Based on the sheer amount of votes by our Thiam fans, we’ve decided to try something different this year! Not only are we offering the Normal Big Bang track this year, but we are also offering one with a central theme: Six Seasons and a Movie! 

There will be two tracks for this Big Bang: creating a brand new work in any genre and with any plot you desire, or recreating an episode/plot line etc. from the show to make it more Thiam-centric, or to include Thiam in it at all (shakes fist at everyone involved with the Teen Wolf Movie who forgot Theo existed).

Writers will create an original Theo/Liam work. In a few weeks, writers will submit summaries of their work. During this time, there will be a claiming phase for artists to claim a writer’s summary that they want to create art for. You will then work with your writer/artist/beta to create amazing works for the Big Bang!

What are the rules?

This year, we are bringing back the minimum word limit of 10k. There is no maximum word count. We also ask that you produce a finished work by the final deadline.

Artists, create to your heart’s content using whatever medium you prefer. These include: music playlists, video edits, aesthetics, moodboards, drawings, etc. The world is your oyster!

The main pairing must exclusively be Thiam - poly relationships including Thiam are not allowed. Side pairings/relationships are still allowed, but Thiam must be the central focus and endgame pairing of your fic.

Your fic can be any genre; canon, AU, etc. The floor is yours to write what you want! Take your prompt and run wild with it!

Your entry for the Big Bang cannot be a work that is already published in any form. This must be a creation from scratch!

During the Big Bang, works must not be made public before final posting dates. You can of course talk with your friends, beta, and artist, for plot points, ideas, etc. Please also keep details about your story a secret during the course of the event. This keeps it a fun surprise for everyone when works are posted!

Thiam Big Bang 2024

Thiam lovers, it’s that time of year again! Time to create like your life depends on it! In case you’re new here, the Thiam Big Bang is a monster of an event where writers and artists create together and produce a beautiful project for the fandom.

For this year's event, we wanted some help deciding on the Big Bang format since YOU are the biggest participants! More details on the event itself to come, but in the meantime join our discord to check out the poll and choose wisely.

[bookwyrm07]

Person A: “(Person B) Can I please borrow your axe?”

Person B: “Sure, it’s beside my bed.”

Person A: “…..Why?”

[bookwyrm07]

I go through 1-3 books a week with Libby. Both authors and librarians have encouraged me to keep doing it and I love that my tax dollars are spent this way.

"Don't use Libby because it costs libraries too much, pirate instead" is such a weird, anti-patron, anti-author take that somehow manages to also be anti-library, in my professional librarian-ass opinion.

It's well documented that pirating books negatively affects authors directly* in a way that pirating movies or TV shows doesn't affect actors or writers, so I will likely always be anti-book piracy unless there's absolutely, positively no other option (i.e. the book simply doesn't exist outside of online archives at all, or in a particular language).

Also, yeah, Libby and Hoopla licenses are really expensive, but libraries buy them SO THAT PATRONS CAN USE THEM. If you're gonna be pissed at anybody about this shitty state of affairs, be pissed at publishing companies and continue to use Libby or Hoopla at your library so we can continue to justify having it to our funding bodies.

One of the best ways to support your library having services you like is to USE THOSE SERVICES. Yes, even if they are expensive.

*Yes, this is a blog post, but it's a blog post filled with links to news articles. If you can click one link, you can click another.
