A Mini Bang is a collaboration between writers and artists.
Writers will anonymously submit a summary/prompt of what they'd like to write, and artists will then anonymously select which prompts they'd like to create art for.Mods will pair artists and writers together based on the anonymous selection. The pairs will then collaborate together, creating a written piece and an art piece of the same story.After the creation period, writers and artists will post their works publicly for all to enjoy!
