What does eldritch mean?

Eldritch means weird, eerie, strange, or unnatural, especially in a way that inspires fear. The word’s origin comes from a time when otherworldly beings were commonly thought to inhabit the earth. Give us all of your horror fics, your Lovecraftian monsters, your Gothic scenes — the scarier the better.

Can I write and create art for this bang?

Definitely! You may sign up as an artist AND as a writer. You may sign as a Big Bang writer, a Big Bang artist, a Reverse Bang artist, or a Reverse Bang writer. You can do both Bangs but, in this case, it goes without saying that you must still meet your deadlines on both sides. Be judicious and check the schedule below. You may not claim your own work.

No work submitted to this challenge will go down because it wasn’t claimed or your artist/writer didn’t get their part done on time. This challenge is for fun, not to stuff us with more stress than we all already endure. The numbers are not balanced. Sometimes too many or too few artists/writers may sign up or drop out. No writer/artist will be forced to bite more than they can chew by picking one story/art after another. Other times life just… happens. If your artist/writer has been abducted by the Empty, the mods will try to pair you again with a new, willing one. If this is not possible don’t worry, your work will remain in the challenge as it is.

Can I write/art pairings?
