Rules and Guidelines

What is a Big Bang?

A Big Bang is a challenge where writers and artists come together to create an explosion of new content for a particular ship. The first Big Bang was hosted in 2005 for the Drarry ship.

Rules

All participants must be 18+ to participate. Anyone found to be misrepresenting their age will be barred from this event and all future events. There are no content restrictions for the event; dead dove content is allowed. No AI may be used in either your fic or art submissions. Anyone found to be using AI will be barred from this event and all future events.

Author Requirements

All fics must center the m/m Harry Potter / Tom Riddle | Voldemort ship. If you are in any doubt at all about whether your fic is 'Tomarrymort-centric' or would like further clarification, please do ask early. Email us at tomarrymortbigbang [at] gmail.com. The minimum word count is 10,000 words. All fics must be standalone and previously unpublished, written in English, and 100% written by you. Please use a beta for SPAG, or plan to be your own beta. NO AI-assisted editing OR AI-assisted translation is permitted. There will be a mid-point check-in on September 30, at which point authors are expected to be 30% of the way to the word count minimum and will submit a summary and snippet in order to match to an artist. Submissions are due on December 31 (Tom's birthday). (Optional) Theme: There is no formal theme for this event, but if you'd like a couple of ideas for inspiration, feel free to use 'Birthday Gifts' and/or 'Fast Burn' as your theme.

Artist Requirements

All art must center the Harry Potter / Tom Riddle | Voldemort ship, and correspond to the paired fic. Artwork should be polished and complete (ie, more than a sketch). Submissions do not all have to be in full color, but should at least feature clean linework with thoughtful shading and composition. Artists will be contacted to request matches after fic summaries are due on September 30. Artists and authors pairings will be released on October 15. Submissions are due on December 31 (Tom's birthday).

Why 10,000 words?

HP fandom Big Bangs have ranged from 2,000 word minimums to 50,000 word minimums. As an example, Drarry Big Bang was 50,000 word minimum (source), Jegulus Big Bang was 20,000 word minimum (source), Remus/Sirius Big Bang was 20,000 word minimum (source). For the Tomarrymort Big Bang, writers will have between July 31 and December 31 which is 5 months to complete 10,000 words. Please only sign up for the fest if you can commit to this minimum word count.

💋🕸️New Story!!🕸️💋

Made it just to fill the empty spot on my ArtFight character page this year lol

Stormy comes from a long line of duelists and assassins. The Kills family is known for the vast magical knowledge and arcane abilities, but Stormy was curse to only have half of that. He has all the magic power with none of the innate wizard knowledge or retention—making him a Sorcerer.

While on paper, that’s not an awful thing, but it does become a problem when you’re trying to go to a wizarding college majoring in conjuration. It doesn’t take long for Stormy to start drowning in all their homework so his family “hires” a tutor for him.

Carmine is a prodigy. His father was a well-known and well off wizard who tragically died when Carmine was a teen. He became a bit of a loner, things only getting worse for his social life when his girlfriend in college died as well. Desperate to get his loved ones back, Carmine made a pact with who he thinks is a demi-goddess; Madame Celestina. She uses her power to help him study the taboo subject of necromancy. Using his magical knowledge, school resources, and patron, Carmine closed himself off to the world to throw himself into his work…until he was approached by the Kills.

It would not be a stretch to say that Carmine was threatened to tutor Stormy, but the coercion alone is not why Carmine despises the little punk. He can quickly tell Stormy is not actually a wizard and has no idea what he’s doing when he performs magic. However, despite his work being cut out for him, Carmine does take an interest in continuing to work with the brat when he see that necromancy also comes pretty easy to him.

tl;dr - Sunshine Fail vs Emo Recluse with magic.
