What is this?

Hot Girl Sunny is a community dedicated to creating content centering around the women of One Piece. We host a number of events, big and small. Currently, our largest event is a Big Bang!A Big Bang is a collaborative fandom event where authors and artists work together to create complementary pieces.Writers, artists and betas will fill out a participant form at the same time. They'll be paired up based on their rankings in the participant survey. Together, they'll decide on the direction of their project.Writers will work on a 15k word minimum fic based on their idea, and artists will develop 2 works of art to accompany it.Once completed, their project will be scheduled for release so each day gets to celebrate a different completed project!

Participant Surveys open 2/1/2025.To join, you have to be a part of our Discord (linked above!)Once you join, you can find the link to our participant survey inside the #project-announcements channel.
