Bang Guidelines

This is an event focused on villainous characters from BNHA. Works will be expected to be centred around any of the canon villains or heroes turned villains. Any ship is allowed but one member of the pairing must be a villain and they must be the focus. Alternate Universes will be accepted as long as the story in the universe is centred around a villain character. This event welcomes ALL ships and ALL content. The only requirement is that you meet the artist/writer minimum by the posting date and you tag and rate appropriately.Check-Ins will be conducted in your team channels with the mods. You will receive an emoji at each check-in to mark you’re completed in order to keep track and avoid copious amounts of forms.Pinch hitters will be assigned as needed when a writer or artist drops out.Please tag your work appropriately.Let a mod know ASAP if you haven’t been credited.You are welcome to submit more than one piece but we can only guarantee you a pair for one. The limit is two because we do not want anyone to overwork themselves.To maintain the element of the bang, please keep discussions of ideas in the appropriate artist or writer channels. All works must be new works. No previously published works. All bang related discussions should be kept within the server.
