I'm confused. Is this going to be the Big Bang or the Mini Bang?
Thank you for the ask!
Currently, we are running a quick Mini Bang. The YGO Big Bang switched to a new mod team this year and so we are running a Mini Bang to ease into the process, try out some new things, and decide on policies that will we will implement into the Big Bang which will begin later this summer.
Artist and Beta sign ups are still open for the Mini Bang for anyone who is interested in joining! Otherwise, information about the Big Bang will be coming out in the next few months.

To clarify, does "beta" just mean someone who betas the fics?
Yes!
A beta reader is someone who helps the authors by reading their fic in progress, and, depending on what kind of help they ask for, giving advice on characterization, grammar, and general flow of the story.

How long do artists have to make their work? The schedule says artist claims open Apr 24th and posting begins May 8th, but it doesn't say when claims are assigned/finalized.
Hello, thank you for noting this; it's an oversight of the mods (forgetfulness gets the best of us) so the schedule will be fixed up soon to better reflect the creation time.
Artists will have two weeks to create their piece! Thank you!

What is a Pinch Hitter? The application asks about it but it's not defined there or in the FAQ or guidelines.
" Pinch Hitter is someone we contact if, partway through the project, one of the original committed writers or artists needs to leave, so that way the pair isn't left hanging. Due to being asked to start only when the project is underway, they generally have much less time in order to produce a work, which is why it's not for everyone!

i'm curious about the artists' role in the big bang. if writers are expected to write 50k, how much work are the artists expected to put in? is it one big illustration for a specific scene/multiple scenes in a fic, several illustrations, or more like a comic going over the premise?
Based on the word tier of the writers, artists are expected to create artwork of different level of completions.
50k is one of the highest tiers, so the artist will likely be assigned to create one (1) fully illustrated art piece, colored and rendered, whether it is a single page or a comic.
We're still debating the exact specifics of each tier for the full Big Bang later the year, so you can expect more detailed info later.

Everyone, thank you very much for the responses! We’ll go over our plans for what to do next, and what you should keep an eye out for!
Firstly, thank you for all your patience for the new mod team! You can find us and our experience listed HERE as well as our names on our Tumblr page (desktop mode). We hope you continue to give us your support as we settle into our new roles.
Second, for all the Misawas and number lovers out there, we'll go over the IC numbers after the end of this announcement.
And third and most important of all, we’re announcing our first project as a SPRING SEASON MINI-BANG. We’ll be releasing more details over the coming week, and hopefully have sign-ups ready by the end of the month. This will be a much smaller event, with 1k minimums, so that everyone can get used to working together and getting warmed up before the main event!
Once again, thank you for your interest, and we’ll see you soon!
And now, from Mod Pan, this:
First off, "Do you want to participate in a General/All Series Bang?"
That's 62,7% yes, 37,3% maybe, and no "No"s! Love to see how people interested in talking about it want to participate, should circumstances allow.
Next is "If yes, what role?"
At 40,3% writers take the lead, but 32,8% artists and 26,9% as a combo of both means people of all artistic tendencies are well-distributed!
So we've got the peeps, so when do we start? That's the next question!
The two leaders were a (North) Summer Start at 67,2%, followed by a (North) Spring Start at 25%. The other results were one vote each, for 'either', 'both', 'anytime', 'not sure', and a shout-out to whoever asked if these seasons were North or Southern Hemisphere- They're all North, for the record, due to that being where the majority of the mods are located. It was a good heads-up, though, and I'll try to mention specific months next time alongside seasonal names.
Last two multiple-choice questions!
For writers, what minimum word count are you comfortable with?
The clear winner here was 10k words, at 48,3%, with 15k next at 13,3%. A full 26% were just artists clicking the "I'm an Artist" button, and the other options (5k, 25k, and 'anything from 10-20k depending on concept") got a single vote each, except 20k words, which came in around 8% instead. I like this excitement!
And for the artists: What fic length are you most comfortable working with?
Everyone continues having 10k as their sweet spot number, as the 36,7% votes show, and this has definitely been taken into account. Next is 15k at 25%, and every subsequent 5k increment loses another 5% votes. And to the two who don't really know and are just gonna go with the flow, and are willing to read all the way up to 50k as long as the concept interests you, we'll do our best at matchmaking so it won't feel like a sacrifice, no matter how excited the writers get!
And that's it for math time! The non-multiple choice answers won't be discussed here, since even without names attached those were private responses, but do be sure the mod team has read all of them and will be keeping all of them in mind going forward.
See y'all next time!

What is Big Bang event about? As I am interested in doing it but I don't know what the event is about
Thanks for asking!
A Big Bang is traditionally a collab event between writers and artists! The first editions were focused on making some big fics, with a minimum of 50k words expected from the writers, and that the artists would illustrate. A massive challenge, def!
As time passed, more variations have emerged, from smaller bangs, where the minimum wordcount is much smaller (I've seen Flash Bangs as low as 1k!), or Reverse Bangs where instead of the writer taking the lead, the artists make fanart that the writers then write fics about!
And as for what kind this one will be, well, that's what the Interest Check is for! We wanna hear from as many people as possible to see what kind of Big Bangs we'll be running! So if you have the time, please give us your opinions over there.
Pan
