The Inception Big Bang is coming soon! Can you believe it’s already been (practically) a year? We don’t know about you guys, but we’re super excited Here’s what you need to know about this year’s event:
What’s new?
‣ This time the posting date will be on July 1st - right at the beginning of Inceptiversary, rather than the end of it. IBB will be kicking off the celebrations in good style and leaving time for participants to join other events happening later in the month.
‣ Author sign-ups this year will be limited to 18 spots - and they’ll be first come, first served! This will even out the different skill groups in our fandom while keeping the event challenging and fun.
Authors, don’t miss out on your spot! Save our sign-up date to the calendar and send us a message if you want to be tagged/notified when sign-ups open.
‣ Your wish is our command here at IBB and this year we’ll have a discord server! We’ll have a general chat for all things IBB, plus closed channels for authors and artists to share ongoing concepts and bounce ideas off of each other. The discord will be open from April 1st to July 10th and will be a fun place to hang-out with other participants, vent about the daunting deadline or look for inspo. Send us a message if you want to tagged/notified when it opens ✌
‣ No website, sadly. The mod didn’t renew her sexy website hosting plan with unlimited sites. The site will always be with us, though. In our hearts. Let’s remember fondly it’s sleek design and user friendly interface.
