The Narnia Big Bang Challenge is a Big Bang challenge for fanfiction & fan art in The Chronicles of Narnia fandom, founded in 2011 by Snacky. A single round has been completed as of 2014, in 2011–12; a second round started in 2012 but was aborted after participants dropped out.

Rules

All genres and types of Narnia fanfiction are included, except that RPF about the actors in the films is not permitted. Art includes hand-drawn and digital art, banners and icons, as well as vids and fanmixes. For the main Big Bang, the minimum word count for fiction is 20,000 words, and two works for art or equivalent. There is also a Mini Bang with a 10,000 word minimum requirement for fiction, and one artwork or equivalent.

The exchange is administered via the Narnia Fic Challenge livejournal, which also adminsters the Narnia Fic Exchange. In the 2011–12 round, stories were posted by the moderator to Big Bang posting journals on livejournal & dreamwidth and artwork to the narniaexchange community.
