And so it begins! The Skam Big Bang 23 sneak peek at the stories coming your way starts now! Read on for behind the scenes inspirations!
First up "Forty Love" written by @folerdetdufoler with art by @evakuality
FOLERDETDUFOLER: What inspired your story?
I'm a big fan of Roger Federer, and tennis in general, and thought it would be an interesting universe to bring Isak and Even into: the athleticism, the competition, the way the sport can require more heart than strength. i wanted to see if i could write an ode to Roger's legacy, and how that would evolve into one for Isak and Even as well.
EVAKUALITY: What inspires you about the story?
Even in the small section we saw at first, I loved the way the story just sucked me in. These characters are so vibrant and alive and recognisably themselves even in this quite distinct AU. The dialogue sparkles and I love the atmosphere created by the competitive tennis background. Plus, who can resist it when Even is described as 'Bechy with the good hair'?
The Skam Big Bang starts June 21st! Follow us for more sneak peeks and share!
Ok I haven’t looked at the tag yet and I‘m completely unspoiled for this season (not sure if there even were any spoilers), but I watched the first episode last night - thank you translators!!- and liked it. Not just because of the old gen appearances, but it had a good Skam feel to it. No catastrophes to set up the main‘s suffering for the season (like Skamf*), not too overly self-serious (like D*uck‘s new gen) - it was a good set up for the season imho. And yes, even I caught what Asia‘s „shame“ is.
Appreciate the fascism fight theme too tbh. It’s very timely without being too preachy.
And as for the old gen - well, since Ludo seems to have remembered that Elia is part of this new gen, it absolutely makes sense that his old friends would come to his birthday party. I’m not going to investigate if his birthday has always been on that day 😁 let’s not be too harsh on Besse.
NEW EPISODE OUT NOW - 2x04 WHAT'S THE PROBLEM, JR?
After their date, Hazel gives JR the cold shoulder despite his attempts to apologize for his actions that night. Maya confirms to Noel that someone has been actively pursuing her. The boys are invited to a fiesta by Gabriel.
YATIZ is a written remake of Norwegian show SKAM, in a small seaside municipality called Carmen in the southern part of the Philippines. Season 1 is already out.
We have a record number of writers committed to bringing new stories to the Skam fandom and we need artists to collaborate. The Skam Big Bang matches artists with writers to create a piece of fanart inspired by the story. Artists read blind excerpts and match based on preferences and Skamverses. Art can take any form from hand or digital drawing or painting, gif sets, mood boards/aesthetics, photoshop edits, video edits, textile arts, music playlists. Basically anything creative you can imagine inspired by a fic!
