FAVORITE INARIZAKI CHARACTER: Kita Shinsuke
Hello! This is my first bang as a moderator, though I have participated in several as a contributor. I have leadership experience from school activities, so I'm not entirely out of my depth. I can't wait to work with all of you!

FAVORITE INARIZAKI CHARACTER: Kita Shinsuke & Miya Atsumu
Heya everyone! It’s your local tea-drinking, angst-writing gremlin. I’m currently a mod for BNHA Whump Bang and Izuku Big Bang. As the resident Atsumu kin (according to Mod Charlie’s uquizzes), I’m super excited to be here!

FAVORITE CHARACTER: Akagi Michinari
Hi! I'm currently going through my Inarizaki arc and honestly just wanted to help run the event so that everyone has fun celebrating our fox boys!
Contributor Expectations
Writers
Writers will be creating a story of at least 5,000 words. This can be a multichapter or a one shot, but you should have something ready to be published on the posting date. There is no maximum word count. All works must be new and unpublished! We ask that you refrain from talking about it too much on social media in order to keep it a surprise.Works must be centered around at least one member of the Inarizaki team. This can mean either a fic entirely focused on Inarizaki characters, or it can mean an Atsumu-centric Sakusa/Atsumu fic (for example). At this time there will not be NSFW content permitted in this bang due to the fact that the Head Moderator is underage.
Artists
Artists are required to create at least one full, finished illustration to go along with their writer’s fanfic. There is no maximum requirement for artists.Artwork can be of any medium.
Betas
Betas will be able to either work with specific writers, or be available to any writer who requests assistance. Betas can choose to be assigned to more than one writer, but the Moderators ask that they please plan accordingly—we do not know how much work you can handle as well as you do, and we would hate for you to get overwhelmed.Betas will look over content as per the writer’s request. Please do not make changes or criticisms the author hasn’t asked for.
Pinch Hitters
Pinch Hitters will be contacted on a first-come-first-serve basis (and may not be contacted at all, depending on contributor lineup). Please be aware that should you be contacted, you will have a smaller window of time to complete your piece.If you are contacted and fill in for a writer/artist, you will be held to the same expectations as any other artist or writer, but you will have a one week extension on content check-ins.
