Info and Schedule '19
Dark Paths is a bang for stories that go a little... dark. Say a character from your fandom made a different decision at a crucial moment rather than the one they made in canon. How would things be different? How would they be darker? That's the question we seek to answer with our works here. These are canon diverent AUs that make things a lot harder for our chosen characters.
We'll have three levels of bangs to choose from: big, little, and mini. In the big bang, the minimum required wordcount will be 25,000 words. No max. Works must be new, that is, they must have never been posted anywhere. In the little, the minimum required wordcount is 10,000, with that work needing to be new as well. No maximum until you've hit the big bang's min, then it will simply swap over. Finally, for our no commitment folks--we understand that life is busy sometimes--we have the mini bang, with a minimum of 5,000 words. Again, it must be new with no max until you hit the little's wordcount.
Author Requirements
Big Bang 25,000 words at least of a fic that takes a canon divergence down a darker path
Little Bang 10,000 words at least of a fic that takes a canon divergence down a darker path
Mini Bang 5,000 words at least of a fic that takes a canon divergence down a darker path
Artist Requirements
Two Pieces are required if you claim a big bang
One Piece is required if you claim a little bang
No Art is required for a mini bang, though if you yourself want to do art on your own time, that's entirely up to you.
