HAIKYUU!! ROYALTY BIG BANG
✦ The royals have spoken, and it is our duty, as their faithful servents, to comply ✦
The Haikyuu!! Royalty Big Bang is a collaborative event where writers and artists will be paired up in order to create one new story and one piece of art centered around Royalty AUs.
It will be a SFW event, which means we will not be allowing any NSFW topics or any kind of Dead Dove Content.
THE RULERS
✦ King Artemis ✦
Make way for the kind King Artemis, our beloved Head and Graphics Mod.
They rule with love and benevolence, and we couldn't be more grateful to be serving under them.
✦ Princess Bella ✦
With experience rivaling even the most seasoned of royalties, Princess Bella has graciously accepted her roles as a humble General and Social Media Mod.
When she's not busy with her scriptures, she diligently works behind closed doors to ensure the event prospers.
✦ Baroness Binu ✦
We now present Baroness Binu, one of our treasured General Mods.
With her sharp eyes and contagious excitement, she tends to our gardens and makes sure our villagers are as happy as they can be.
✦ Duchess G ✦
Without Duchess G's skills, this event wouldn't have been possible. Make room for her, will you, our beloved Organization Mod.
When she's not coming up with event ideas, you can find her in our study looking over our records to make sure everything's going well.
✦ Prince Nyx ✦
It's time to introduce our next heir to the throne, Prince Nyx, who takes on the role of General Mod next to their sister.
With witty comebacks and a delightful presence, he's the perfect addition to our team!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a Big Bang? ➛ A Big Bang is an event that pairs artists and writers together to create content for a series, ship, or theme. This will be a traditional bang, which means that writers will be expected to submit summaries and excerpts for their works and artists will have to select their top preferences so they can be paired up later on.
What are the requirements? ➛ This is a non-competitive event, meaning everyone who applies will be able to participate! We only ask you to join our Discord server since that is where most of the communication will be conducted.
The minimum word count for fics is 3.5k, and artists are asked to create a fully coloured illustration to accompany their assigned fics.
Does this event have a theme or specific trope? ➛ Yes! Since it's a Royalty-inspired event, the only necessary component is that the works should be set in this specific AU.
Is NSFW allowed? What kind of content will be considered NSFW? ➛ NSFW content will not be allowed in this event. In terms of what can be considered NSFW, we will be using the official AO3 rating scale for all works. If you have any inquiries on whether your idea falls into NSFW territory, feel free to send us a DM on Twitter or message one of the mods directly.
Are ships welcome? ➛ Yes, all ships are welcome, including poly ships, as long as they don't qualify as incestuous or predatory. Alternatively, you can also submit works that don't have any romantic relationships.
Can you take on multiple roles? ➛ Absolutely! Dual creators are more than welcome! In addition to that, all creators will be asked if they are willing to pinch hit during sign-ups. Beta and pinch-hitter roles will be available to all participants. We only ask that you evaluate your own capabilities and not take on more than you can handle so that this event won't become a burden to you later on.
What kind of content won't be allowed? ➛ We only ask you to refrain from submitting potentially triggering content and any type of Dead Dove topics. Such content includes, but isn't limited to, self-harm, explicit descriptions of sexual assault, suicide, etc. We will pin a trigger list to our server on Discord so that the participants will know what they should tag when submitting and/or discussing their works.
Do you have a system in place so adults and minors can be paired according to individual preferences? ➛ Of course! We will take your preferences into account during the contributor applications and summary selections to make sure everyone is comfortable with who they're working with.
What if I have other questions? ➛ You can send us a question through a message on our Twitter account or directly message one of the mods and we'll do our best to get back to you as soon as we can!
