Talk:Big Bang

I'm too lazy to find meta about the H/D fans who were upset over the use of Big Bang in other fandoms, but someone should find that and cite it. --Kyuuketsukirui 06:34, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I found the list unusable so added a multifandom section and put it in alphabetical order. The problem with this is that some fandoms don't have a single name, but it at least keeps all the Harry Potter big bangs on one place together! It might be worth merging the multifandom ones back in, I'm not sure. sqbr 11:56, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

adding reverse bangs

Should Reverse Bangs be added to the list, or not? --Sk 03:27, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Reverse bangs are one of the things in the 'see also' list. I'd probably just put another reference to that article at the start of the list sections. Franzeska 04:01, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Word Count Minimum

I have now seen Big Bangs with a word count requirement as low as 2500 words. (BNHA Poly Big Bang rules; I've seen several others with minimums under 5k words.) I'm still wrapping my head around this and am not yet adding it to the main page. (I want to find out what people mean by "big bang" - whether the word count is considered irrelevant, or they consider 2500+ words to be a long fic.) --Elf (talk) 00:06, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

I too have seen some low minimum word counts for some big bang challenges, and I would think those are more of a mini-bang. I think in those cases it is more about the structure of challenge, i.e. a writer writes a story and is matched with an artist who will create art for that story, and less about the actual word count. I think most people in fandom know what a big bang is, so it is easier to use that term to advertise your challenge than mini-bang, which might not be as well known -- Kingstoken (talk) 10:06, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
