Once upon a time, in 2023 to be exact, a pair of friends decided to host a fairytale-themed bang. It would welcome all fandoms and probably be quite small! Or so they thought.

The authors and artists worked their creative magic. And then one day, it was time to post! For three weeks, they shared their new creations with the world, and this event that had been two years in the making came to an end. But a happy one.

As the months passed and the event grew closer to artist match-ups, many of the authors chose to take a different path, leaving 42 who needed partners for the ball -- uh, bang. A group of 26 brave artists claimed the lot, many of them illustrating for fandoms they'd never heard of.

A year passed and the bang turned out to be much larger than either of them had anticipated, with close to 100 authors signed up! The two friends rolled up their sleeves Cinderella-style and searched fandomland far and wide for artists.
