What is a bang?
Bangs are fandom events where writers and artists are paired together to work on a collab. In a standard bang, writers usually sign up and then submit a summary of what they’d like to create, and then the summaries are made viewable without names attached so artists can list their top choices. After matches are made, mods announce the pairings and partners are expected to communicate with each other and collab on the idea in the summary.What does Hereafter mean?
