Event overview
Welcome to the first ever Perseia Big Bang! This fandom challenge will pair authors writing a 15k+ word fic with artists and betas. Writers sign up and begin writing stories. When the early drafts of the stories are available, artists will claim stories from posted summaries on a first come, first serve basis. Artists then create fanart (or other types of fanwork) to go along with the story. The complete collection will be posted on the Winter Solstice on AO3.
Schedule
Info, questions, and rules
Rule
Yes - fics must be at least 15,000 words, and artists should work with authors to submit at least one piece of art per fic they claim.
Rule
When submitting your draft and summaries, please note any specific content warnings that apply to your fic (i.e., ao3 content warnings or general trigger warnings) and if your fic is 18+
FAQ
The draft submission should be ~60% of the estimated final word count. It should include the full story arc (or plans) - the beginning, middle, and end.
FAQ
Fics will be anonymous until the final reveal. Artists and betas find out who the authors are of just the fics they have claimed once the claim window closes - this makes sure they choose based on summaries alone!
FAQ
Authors submit first drafts that are summarized by the event organizers. During the claim window, all of these summaries are public, and artists/betas can claim different fics on a first come first serve.
FAQ
The Perseia Big Bang is currently run by Bōchord of Leâspell, Britishchick, Deltafell, PartiallyCloudy, SpellCleaver, and Sunsets12!
Rule
No, your fic has to focus primarily on the Percy Jackson universe, but that's it - the reviewers will add any content callouts (e.g. 18+) in the summaries of each fic.

FAQ
The suffix -eia means the tale of. The original Greek title for the Odyssey was Odysseia. So, the story of Percy would be the Perseia.
