Welcome one and all to Senshi & Shitennou Reverse Mini Bang 2019 - this is the first year we're crossposting to Dreamwidth and Tumblr!

Artist and Author Sign Ups are OPEN until Sunday 31 March 2019!

We’re so glad you’re here and we hope you’re as eager to get started as we are because we think we’ve made some great improvements (see? We’re learning!)

As we mentioned last year, we’re alternating in between Mini Bangs and Reverse Mini Bangs. The 2018 Mini Bang produced some amazing fics (which kinda still has us gaping in awe, to be honest) and the art! Oh my gosh, the art that came with them was stunning! We’re still blown away by it all (incidentally, if you would like to see/read them, they’re available here.)

This year we’re running the Reverse Mini Bang again, so Artists will be the ones to create work which will inspire Authors. We had some great collaboration between our Artists and Authors previously and we’re hoping to not only replicate, but increase that this year, too!

To start with, let’s reveal our theme for the SSRevMB 2019:

“The Sea”

Sounds vast, right? Well, it is. Just like last year’s theme, you can be as literal or as metaphorical with it as you’d like. Mermaid!Ami? Yes! What about Kunzite’s sea of troubles? Go for it! Makoto x Nephrite on the Titanic AU? GIMME! Have a need to make us sigh over the ebb and flow of Jadeite’s passions as he sits on a beach and stares out into the abyss? Yeah, duh, of course we need it like we need oxygen. Pirate!Rei kicking butt and taking names? Oh hecks to the yesses baby! What about Venus’ tumultuous rage personified as a brewing storm heading to land? Daaaaamn. Zoisite makes an official visit to Neptune? Nice, please show me more.

Lost cities! Sharks! Metaphors about life! Lighthouses! Seaside towns! Viking fics! Learning to swim! Beaches! Icebergs! Storms! Dauntlessness in the face of the unknown! Sea shanties! Treasure fics! Sea deities! Inner demons lurking underneath the surface! Actual creatures lurking in the depths! Water planets! Unpredictability of life! Flooded apocalyptic Crystal Tokyo! Destiny! Navigating the sea of space! The possibilities are endless… like the sea itself. Kinda.

So welcome all!
