The Magia Exedra Mini Bang

About:
The Magia Exedra Mini Bang is a fandom project for authors and artists, with the goal of creating collaborative work based on and inspired by the universes of Magia Exedra: Puella Magia Madoka Magica, Magia Record, Oriko Magica, Tart Magica, Kazumi Magica, Suzune Magica AND Sorana Magica (And all those other manga/novel spinoffs too!)Participating authors will each write a fanfiction (or a couple of fics) that total at least 3,000 words. Once the authors have decided on and submitted summaries for their work, the stories will be picked by artists and matched into teams. The artist will then make an associated piece to the author’s story they were paired with.Once we reach the deadline (which will be the month of Magia Exedra’s 2nd Anniversary), all fic writers and artists will 'reveal' their work, resulting in a 'bang' of Puella Magi fan content.

Guidelines

For all members who wish to participate (be that as an artist, author, or supporter in our Discord), we require that you adhere to these rules:• We ask that all participants be respectful and kind towards each other. The following will not be tolerated and will lead to immediate removal from the project: harassment, homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, fatphobia, or ableism directed toward any person or character.• This project operates under the following: YKINMKATO = Your Kink Is Not My Kink, And That's Okay. This philosophy applies to kinks but also tropes, genres, ships, ship dynamics, AUs, etc. Everyone likes different things. It’s not up to any of us to determine what other fans are allowed to create or consume, nor pass judgment on how and why they do so.• This project is open to all ages 13 and above. You must be 18+ to write or draw anything mature or to have access to the NSFW related channels on our Discord.• All works must be created originally for this project, within the project’s timeframe, and cannot require a previous story being read to be enjoyed (so no sequels/prequels to existing fanfic).• Any use of generative AI will lead to instant removal from the project.

FAQ

How Does a Mini Bang Work?First step: sign up! Artists and Authors have the same sign up period and all you need to commit to is finishing one colored piece of art (Artist) or one fanfic of at least 3000 words (Author) by March 2027. We are also allowing for Authors to write multiple shorter fics (like say two oneshots or a series of drabbles) that total 3000 words and their assigned Artist can do more sketch level art to match it.After signups close, Authors will submit an anticipated summary of their piece(s) with all the tags they think will be used. Artists then go through these summaries and pick the TOP THREE (or more) they would like to draw art for most. We will do our best to get artists the summaries they prioritize highest, but it's very important they select three or more, because unfortunately giving everyone their number one pick is likely impossible.Artists will be allowed to tell us pairings, squicks, triggers, tropes, ratings, characters, etc. that they refuse to draw for, and they can also inform us if there are any participants they are not comfortable working with.Once the Artist picks are all in, you will be paired into Artist+Author teams. The Author will then collaborate with the Artist so they can create a piece of fanart based on the fanfic they are writing. As noted above, you will have from this date (mid-Nov 2026) until March 1st, 2027 to complete your fanworks.Starting March 1st and throughout March 2027, Artists and Authors will post their completed works creating a “bang” of Puella Magi universe content.Who is in charge here?Main Project Mod is Abarero, who previously has run three seasons of Magia Record mini bangs and who was one of the Moderators on the Connect Zine.She is assisted by Nahikoate, her fellow writing mod from the Connect Zine, who will be helping maintain the Discord server.What can I write?Whatever you want as long as it’s based on one of the Magia Exedra Universes: Puella Magia Madoka Magica, Magia Record, Oriko Magica, Tart Magica, Kazumi Magica, Suzune Magica AND Sorana Magica. (We will also accept other manga Spinoffs such as Homura Tamura, Magia Exedra itself, or the novel Null Magical Girl, if you’re feeling bold.)Alternate Universe fanfics are acceptable, as are crossover, as long as the focus is heavily on the Puella Magi cast you include. But we do advise that it is harder to find matches with an Artist for crossovers, due to them often not being familiar with the media or characters in the crossover.There is no rating restriction (but you must be CLEAR about the rating when submitting your summary, and participants under eighteen cannot write or draw for mature/explicit fics).Can anyone participate?Yes, as long as you abide by and are comfortable with our guidelines.Can I signup as an Author and Artist?Absolutely! As long as you feel comfortable meeting the deadlines for both parts, this is more than welcome.What happens if there are more writers than artists?In this scenario, there will be a section of the artist signup form that asks if you are willing to complete art for more than one fanfiction.If you are, please select 'yes' and let us know (tentatively, this does not have to be set in stone) how many you think you can do. It is perfectly fine if you can only do one.There will also be a section for if you are willing to 'pinch hit' (which means you complete a piece of art if someone drops out).What happens if there are more artists than writers?In this scenario, we will see if any Authors have a second idea they’d like to offer up as part of the event, and if Artists match with those they can form a secondary team.Also, if necessary, after matching everyone up, we will raffle the remaining artists into giving bonus art to one of the fics they picked. This will create a few Author+2 Artist Teams.
