Forms will be available until 11:59pm on April 17th, GMT timezone. Heads-up: author submissions are limited to the first 18 ones this year. We will post updates on our blog on how many spots are still left so authors can plan accordingly.
One more thing: this year we have a discord server ❤️ The server is a cozy place to chat with us and meet the other participants. It is open even if you won’t create for the event itself - and the Inception fandom is super welcoming! Come join us!
Message us if you have any questions. See you soon!
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.

If you’ve been here in previous years, you already know this part. We haven’t made changes to the guidelines this year. If it is your first IBB or if you need to remember anything, you can find the full list of guidelines here, plus some frequently asked questions.
Authors and artists have also been added to the PDF with BB fics. Now is the moment to find out who you’ll be working with on the Inception Big Bang! Take a look.
The list below includes the tumblr or first form of contact shared by participants. If you also need the email of your pair, send us a message.
