EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT

SWBB Event Announcement

With great pain and much discussion, the mod team has come to the decision to pause the Bang for one year, and we will not be running SWBB 2025.

We apologize, as we know a lot of people look forward to the event every year, but we've realized we need to take a break. To be honest, we should have done so last year, and our organization as your mod team suffered for it. We are sorry that we were not up to snuff in 2024.

What does this mean for the event? Well, we will spend the time we would have put toward the 2025 event on writing policy documents and making our internal structure more robust. This means that if any one of us goes down again, the rest of the group will be able to pick up the workload.

Star Wars Big Bang has grown so much bigger than we imagined it would when the event first ran in 2017. Certainly, we didn't expect to run for 8 full years, with bigger numbers each year! By taking a break, we'll be able to wind back up and be all refreshed to take on Year 10 in 2026!

With much fondness and hope, the SWBB mod team

hey OP where's the option where I ask Dean what the news is

[swbigbang]

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.

Art and Beta Claims have gone out

If you signed up as an artist or a beta, you should have gotten an email with the claims form. If you have not, reach out to a mod at  swbigbang@gmail.com. Art and Beta claims are open through end of day February 15th. Authors: Check in #2 is February 20th. You should have roughly 66 percent of your fic done by that point. This is also the last day to drop out without penalty.

[swbigbang]

If you want to fill out another form with the adjusted word count, just make sure to mark somewhere on the form that it is a second submission. The forms close on end of day February 3rd! If you don't do that, it is completely fine to go over your projected word count! However, you will only receive art at the level you put down on the claims forms!
