**RULES and EXPECTATIONS for all Participants**

Sign-ups open April 15th via Google Form.

By signing up to participate you acknowledge that you have read and agree to the rules.

While the mods will send out reminders in the Discord server, it is your responsibility to meet the Sterek Reverse Bang deadlines.

Communicate with your partner within 48 hours of your claim being confirmed. Mandatory partner check-ins should be met as well. This is meant to be collaborative and fun.

>>>Check-ins are mandatory and deadlines are strict.<<<

Participants must be 18 years or older.

Participants need an email address that they check on a regular basis, a Google account for sign-up and submission forms, and must have a Discord account.

Any questions or disagreements should be taken to the mods.

**GUIDELINES for ARTISTS**

In the regular reverse bang round the following types of art are accepted:

painting/drawing (traditional, digital, mixed)

mood boards

fanvids (min 30 sec)

original gif sets (min 6 gifs)

>>All art will be uploaded through a Google Form so you must have a google account.

>> In the spirit of anonymous claims, no watermarks, signatures etc. are permitted during initial submissions! If you are worried about art theft, you can add "Sterek Reverse Bang" as a watermark. Signatures will be added for the final posting with the fics.

>> Artists are limited to submitting one or two pieces.

>> Art must not have been published before, been a commission, or be associated with a fic at the time of claims.

>> When you submit your art, it should be finished. You may of course keep working on it until posting.

>>You may choose to create more art or headers for longer fics but this is not a requirement.

>>If you do not regularly have communication from your writer or you have not seen an actual draft as a deadline approaches, please contact the mods.

>>If you feel like an explicit dislike of yours is being disregarded by your writer, you are not being kept up to date with major story changes (especially when the deadline is approaching), or your input is not being heard, please contact the mods.

>>TLDR Your mods are here to help but we can’t help if you don’t talk to us.

**GUIDELINES for WRITERS**

>> Minimum word count for fics in this challenge is 10k.

>> Artists' prompts and requests need to be followed unless both writer and artist agree to something else.

>> Squicks and triggers have to be followed without discussion.

>>Authors may not demand or request changes to the art. The artists may offer to do this, but that is up to the discretion of the artist.

>>Fics must be in English.

>>Submitted drafts for check-in must be typed and be in a standard document form (.docx or Google Drive). iOS extensions or photos will not be accepted.

>>Writers must follow all check-in dates, including sharing an 80% completed draft with the mods and their artist by September 14, 2024.

>>All fics should be posted in their entirety on the submission date.

>>You must tag for any of AO3’s major warnings and use appropriate tags, including the Sterek Reverse Bang tag.

>>All fics need to be beta read. If you need help finding a beta reader, you can ask on Discord. Mods for the bang will not assign beta readers.

Like a regular Bang, a Reverse Bang is meant to be a collaboration between artist and writer. Think of your artist like a partner in your creative process and follow the sharing guidelines that we have laid out in terms of sharing outlines and drafts. Everyone has their own creative style, but do be willing to listen to the input from your artist as you write. One of the joys as a writer is having a collaborative partner to bounce ideas off of and talk through your WIP. Your artist will probably love to be part of this process.

>>>This means that you should regularly be sharing drafts with your artist.<<<

>>TLDR Your mods are here to help but we can’t help if you don’t talk to us.

**Dropping**

>> Should any participants drop before claims, no harm done, no worries.

>> Should any participants drop out after claims without extenuating circumstances, participants may not be allowed to take part in the next round. In any case, talk to your mods! There is usually a solution, both for the person dropping and the person remaining in the bang (e.g. finding a pinch hitter), and the sooner one is figured out, the better.

>>If you drop before August 30, 2024, and request a pinch hitter, you will receive a one year ban. Dropping after this date will result in a permanent ban.

>> Should a team wish to drop out by mutual consent, they may do so, but may not post their work as part of the Sterek Reverse Bang Collection.

**COMMUNICATION**

The STRB is meant to be a collaborative effort between artist and writer. Part of the fun of the process is working with another creative person to make something new in the Sterek fandom. With that in mind, we have a set of things you should be talking about with your partner.

**First check-in: June 14, 2024**

Teams must confirm that they have made contact and are good to collaborate.

Talk to your artist/author partner and exchange:

Names and pronouns

Account names (AO3, Tumblr, Discord)

Best way to communicate

Any general ideas you have

**Second check-in: July 14, 2024** - Team update

Author to Artist contact

Writers submit an outline of 200-500 words to their artist for comment and to mods for check-in.

**Third check-in: August 11, 2024**

Writers should have 3k written. They will submit a draft link to the mods and their artist. Artists will confirm that their writer has been in communication with them and that they have seen the draft.

**Fourth check-in: September 14, 2024** - The Final Check-in (insert klaxon siren here)

Teams must confirm that they are on schedule to post. Writers will receive a link to a Google form for submitting their drafts. Drafts should be 80% done with any parts/scenes that are not yet complete outlined. Artists will confirm that their writer has been in communication with them and that they have seen the draft.

Artists and writers are free to decide mutually on how much contact they wish to have and in how much detail they wish to collaborate.

🟡 **Check-ins** 🟡

All Check-ins must be done on time and are mandatory. Missing a check-in forfeits your art prompt (writers) and will result in a year ban (before August 30th) or permanent ban after August 30th.

**SIGN-UPS**

Sign-up via Google Doc

https://forms.gle/xt1pm2UY3HospyAPA

You may sign up as both an artist and a writer.

- Liam (@sterekbros) & Dori (@evanesdust)

Keep reading to see all the awesome Spring theme weeks ahead!

March 3 - 9: Spring Break

Spring break mode: activated! Stiles and Derek are ready to make some unforgettable memories. The plan? Maybe a road trip through the scenic routes of California. Or maybe they spend the week in a cabin in the woods, surrounded by nature's serenity. They could go hiking, take long walks, and at night, gather around a campfire, share stories, or just enjoy the peacefulness. It's all about stepping away from the usual hustle and bustle and reconnecting with each other and the great outdoors.

March 10 - 16: Ice Cream Crawl

What better way to beat the heat and stress of their supernatural lives than an ice cream crawl? Maybe Derek and Stiles spend their day hitting up different ice cream shops across Beacon Hills as they hunt for the most mouth-watering flavors. Or maybe they venture out of town, finding secret spots and hole-in-the-wall parlors, sampling the eclectic mix of frozen delights from vendors who boast an array of international and exotic ingredients. Either way, they're sure to map out a route that would make any sweet tooth swoon.

March 17 - 23: Beach

It’s time to ditch the winter blues and bring on the ultimate beach parties. Perhaps Derek and Stiles decide to make the most of their day building sandcastles together, or maybe they go for a swim and try boogie boarding? They could walk along the shore and collect unique seashells or relax on their beach towels and soak up the sun. Wherever you take Stiles and Derek this spring, they’re sure to be excited for their beach adventure, enjoying the sun, sand, and waves.

March 24 - 30: Picnic Anywhere

With Spring comes lush, vibrant landscapes filled with new life…and ants. There’s sun-warmed skin along with sweet fragrant flowers blooming, which means it’s time to have some Spring fun! Perhaps Stiles and Derek are having a picnic at the newly rebuilt Hale house, or are enjoying a meadow speckled with wildflowers in the preserve. It could be perfect or a complete disaster if it’s interrupted by Spring showers. Only you can share with us where Stiles and Derek are having picnics this Spring! 

March 31 - April 6: Spring Harvest Festival

Spring has arrived and it’s time to enjoy all the local harvest festivals have to offer! Maybe Stiles and Derek visit a local farmers market to check out the produce for the season, or they run a table or booth there. Perhaps Stiles and Derek are taking Eli to an Easter egg hunt with all the pack kids during a spring festival. There are so many options, including games, food, crafts, and anything else you can imagine that can be enjoyed during a Spring Festival! Show us what Stiles and Derek are doing this Spring!

"You need me to survive, which is why you're not letting me go." -Derek Hale (s2, ep4)

It's me, Liam, your Teen Wolf & Sterek Fandom Ambassador for @fandomtrumpshate!

It's the time of the year again! It's time to come together as a pack and support progressive non-profits through Fandom Trumps Hate donations!

Sign-ups begin February 5th for all creators.

A little bit about Fandom Trumps Hate

FTH is an online fanworks auction, designed to raise money for progressive nonprofit organizations that help and support marginalized people. In the past seven years, thousands of fans have joined forces to raise nearly $240,000 for a range of progressive organizations.

Let's Sterek this up and come together to knock Sterek works out of the park! Last year we had 16 Sterek offers and 23 Sterek offers in 2022. Let's up those numbers!

So, what are you willing to offer? If you are an author, artist, beta, or provide other services within fandom, all are welcome!

Check out the list below for different types of fanworks and fan labor to get an idea of what you may like to sign up for.

You can offer any type of fanwork that can be delivered digitally, including:

written fanworks (fic, poetry, remixes, etc.)

digital art, which includes but is not limited to gifsets, manips, mood boards, etc.

podfics

fanvids (including fancams)

fan labor, which includes but is not limited to betaing, brit/japan/America-picking, or offering specialist expertise.

Still have more questions? You can check out the FAQs here, this year's schedule here, and a list of non-profits that we are supporting this year.

Sterek Pack assemble! AWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Sterek Mini Bang 2024 Sign Ups!

Welcome to the first round of @sterekminibang! You may know us from the several events we run, including @sterekbigbang and @sterek-exchange, but we wanted to bring back the mini bang so more fans can have access to an author-artist collaboration event.

This will run as a traditional big bang but in a mini bang format.

The word count is 5k minimum and the art requirement is 1 artwork (which can be a sketch or incomplete artwork, however, we encourage it to be as complete as possible).

You can read more about our RULES and FAQs for the event. Our schedule for this round can be found here. As this is a mini bang, the schedule is shorter than a traditional big bang.

You can sign up below on the Google forms for whichever role you are interested in. You can sign up as an author, artist, or both for this event.

Happy Stereking!
