Hi! I was just wondering how much of the rough draft needs to be done by the 21st?

That is an excellent question! Since we have answered that already here we hope that you don’t mind that we are cutting and pasting that answer. 

As far as summaries go I suggest reading over this post here because it has wonderful information about how you should write your summary and what should be included in it to really grab the attention of an artist. These are things to start thinking about since art claims are right around the corner! (Feb. 26th!)

The following is our previous ask about this, we hope that this answers your question! Don’t forget to contact us any time you have a question, remember communication is key!

Sorry in advance for the potentially stupid question. Should I have an *entire* rough draft completed by the 21st of February? 50%? 75%? What’s expected percentage wise in the schedule isn’t clear to me.

This question was submitted by an author when they signed up for the bang. We are sorry for not clarifying for you about the drafts, we will go fix that.
Summaries are due on February 21, 2017 and  must include: rating, all Archive Warnings, major tags, and a description of the work. Any explicit/major side pairings should also be listed
We also include that drafts are to be sent to us at the email (dcjbigbag at gmail) as far as the completion of the fic.

Ideally the author would have as close to 50% of the rough draft finished by this point since final drafts are due on April 1, 2017. However we recognize that all writers have their own way of writing a fic. If any of the authors are worried about their fic at this point, just talk to us. We are flexible and willing to work with everyone. This is supposed to be fun for everyone involved.

If you don’t have 50% of your fic done by that point, submit your summary and draft anyway, as long as you are sure that you will have your final draft complete by April 1, 2017.

Again, we are always willing to work with everyone. We can not stress enough the importance of communication here. If there is something that you are worried about, or have a question about and can’t find it already answered in the FAQ tag, ask us, on or off anon. We will always get back to you.

Remember: As with every relationship, this one included, communication is key. Please do not hesitate to come to us, we will do our best to help you figure out the best solution to what ever issue there may be with the DCJ Big Bang.

I’m struggling with a summary for SPN Horror Minibang and that reminded me I wanted to share my thoughts on fic summaries for claims.

In any challenge with blind claims, your summary is the only piece of information an artist has about you – the writer – and your fic. 

Depending on the size of the challenge, you might be competing against 100+ other writers for an artist’s attention. Artists don’t know your name, or your style, or what you usually write. They don’t know if you’ve written fifty stories or if this is your first. They literally have a handful of sentences to go on, and that’s it. 

The goal isn’t to convince someone to read your story; you need to convince someone to make art for it. Write your summary with visual elements in mind. Don’t be coy. Give an honest overview of your fic. This isn’t a time to worry about spoilers, but only provide what’s necessary. (If you can’t figure out how to include critical visual elements in the summary itself, add a second paragraph and list a few. Eg. Visual elements that might interest an artist include a Doo-wop beachfront motel and a dragon.)

Spelling and grammatical mistakes are red flags. If your summary has mistakes, what does that say about your draft? (Your draft might be flawless! but an artist doesn’t know that.)

And warn sufficiently. Don’t shock an artist with surprise MCD or a side pairing. Again, this is not the time to worry about spoilers. Be up front with artists about sensitive content they will encounter in your fic so they can make an informed decision about whether they can comfortably work with you. 

Every artist has a different priority list when they’re looking at a summary, but I usually have a process when I’m selecting from a challenge with 20 or more summaries:

  • Does the summary (or tags if the challenge has a tags field for the summary) tell me what genre or era the fic is set in? I look for fic that hit the spot of what I’d be interested in drawing (e.g. noirs, or sci-fi, or 50s-era spy fic).
  • If a fic is heavily based on an episode/idea from canon, include the reference point/inspiration. If your fic is heavily based around an episode that I loved or didn’t care for, that’s important information for your artist. It may also help your artist understand your visual language. Did you choose a really stylish episode? That might be a selling point to an artist.
  • Does the summary evoke a particular kind of mood? Funny, sad, melancholy, inspirational, angsty etc. I like to draw for fic that’s on the sad/horror/this fic will suck your soul out of your eyeballs and replace it with tears, so I look for summaries that capture that tone.
  • Does the summary actually include visual elements in it? This is catnip for me. If your summary says stuff about long vistas, or landscapes, or other kind of beautiful imagery, I’m down for that. If your bang doesn’t ask authors to include these, consider talking to your mod about adding them. Visual elements are the single best way for artists to connect to your fic without actually reading your draft.
  • List all of your pairings/warnings. It’s rare that I would choose not to claim a fic because it had a pairing that I wasn’t interested in (as I draw mostly gen art anyway), but other artists may feel differently.
  • It’s never okay to surprise your artist with things like untagged non-con or untagged MCD. Your artist is going to be spending a lot of time with your story, and creating alongside you. Be respectful, and err on the side of over-tagging for claims.

In the past, I’ve participated in a lot of bangs where authors listed their visual elements, and I selected based on that. Or they listed their AU inspiration, and I selected because the AU itself had inspiring visuals that I could connect with.

@anonymousantonym saw your question to @dcjbigbang and thought this might be of interest :)

Lots of thanks to @braezenkitty for passing this great and informative piece along to us. Anyone who is interested in knowing more about what artists look for in summaries, take a look at this and definitely take it into consideration when writing your summaries for the upcoming art claims.

I know it's not time for the authors first check in yet but I wanted to ask what is it that we need to do to check in?

Good question! When the first author check in comes around next week (Feb. 10-14, 2017!!) we will be posting a link to a google doc for all authors to check in with us. It will be your first opportunity to upgrade or downgrade (mini BB, big bang, mega bang) and a chance to tell us where you’re at with your fic. It will even have an option to let us know if you are dropping from the challenge (we know that things happen and we absolutely encourage you to do whatever you need to do for your life and will never be upset or hold it against you for dropping, we just ask that you let us know). 

We hope that this answered your questions and if you have any other please drop us an ask or email! Remember that communication is key!

Hey guys, forgive me if this is an obvious question, but I'm a little unsure what you're expecting from our summaries. I've seen examples for big bangs that were short and sweet, more a hook than anything, and others that were basically bullet pointing out the whole fic. What are you hoping for? Any examples us big bang newbies could peek at? Thanks lovely people.

Alright, again, apologies for the late response. 
As far as summaries go we are looking for something with as much detail as you want. The summary that you submit to us will be for the artists to decide which fics they want to claim. The more detail, and clearer, the better for your fic and it’s chances of getting picked. A good detailed summary along with warnings, tags, rating, and any side pairings will help artists which fics to pick when claims come around. 

We will try to get some example summaries and post them for everyone to see. The mods here are still fairly new to the big bang game honestly. We’ve never run one before now and have participated in very little bangs in the past. Please bear with us and we thank each and every one of you for your patience and understanding as we all go through this together this first time around!

We truly hope that answers any questions and if it does not please feel free to drop us another ask or email us. Remember communication is key!

Types of Beta Reading

ivyblossom:

I’m interested in the kinds of fanwork that goes on in the production of fanfiction; there’s  more than we usually articulate, and I’ve often felt like we haven’t got the language to differentiate between the different kinds of beta work that goes on behind the scenes. So I’ve given a shot at articulating and classifying the various kinds of beta reading I’m familiar with.

SPAG Beta. Spelling, punctuation and grammar. This is your basic line edit. This is the person who catches your typos and silly mistakes. 

Dropped Words Beta. Some people might be both a SPAG and a dropped words beta, but I feel this one deserves pulling out. I don’t know about you, but I can’t write a damn sentence without dropping at least a word or two. I think the word is there, I can practically see it there, but it’s not there. Many (if not most) people will add the lost at or an or the in there for you in their minds and not notice, but the laser eyes of a dropped word beta will put you to rights again. To be a dropped words beta you need to be able to look at the text without getting drawn into the story, and that’s both a special skill and a sacrifice for someone who actually likes your story. So anyone who can do this: you are a treasure, a gift, and made of gold.

Plot Beta. This is work that happens at the very beginning, as well as throughout a story. A plot beta is the person you talk your story out with, she’s your sounding board in the creation process. She may not be into SPAG or dropped words, and might not be a britpicker or formatting genius, but that doesn’t matter. Your plot beta’s not really there to worry about your word choice. She’s there to help birth a story with you. I write very long stories, so plot betas come in early go through my outline with me as I construct it. A plot beta is one of the few who end up beta reading an outline, in my experience. Many betas I’ve worked with don’t want to know what’s going to happen next in a story. They don’t want to be spoiled. So you can keep the spoiling conversations between you and your plot beta, and keep surprising a SPAG and formatting beta.

Research beta. This person works with you to help you pin down the bizarre facts you need to get your story right. Like a plot beta, they can act as a sounding board and help you construct the fine details.

Character Beta. This is someone who will act as a north star for you on a particular character. This is helpful if you’re writing about a character you don’t feel entirely certain about, or you just want someone to argue with you about the actions of a particular character so you can feel confident that s/he is at least close to being in character. It’s actually hard to keep the canon core of a character in your mind as you morph and change him/her, so having someone around who isn’t off on your flights of fantasy with you can be helpful in that respect.

Emotional Flow Beta. This is someone who reads your story for its emotional flow. Is it working? Does it ring true? They’re not there to debate whether the characters are OOC, just to tell you if the actions you’re describing feels real. This is related to a plot beta, and can be related to a character beta, but is different than both. Your emotional flow beta might have no idea where you’re story is headed and is just reacting to what’s on the page right now, which is useful. (hiddenlacuna suggests: whump!beta.)

Settings and Location Beta. This is someone who is attuned to the places you’re setting your stories, works well with Google Maps, and is anal retentive enough to correct you if you say it takes forty minutes to walk to that Tesco when it actually takes about twenty-five. This person is often also your Britpicker, but this is a separate service, I’d say.

Britpicker. Everyone knows what a Britpicker is, right? The person who tells you you’ve used the word “gotten” again, and that “recognize” doesn’t have a z in it in the UK. Also it’s a lift for God’s sake, not an elevator! In other fandoms, you may need an Americanpicker or other. (I’ve yet to be asked to act as a Canuckpicker, much to my disappointment.)

*-picker. You can call in an expert on anything, really. If you have violins in your story, call in a violin expert! Cricket? The inner workings of the BBC? Find a picker for that! It never hurts to call in someone with specialist knowledge. 

Smut Beta. The person who helps you sort out those insanely complicated sex scenes. This is someone you trust not to laugh their bums off at you as you stumble through this terrifying territory.

Canon Beta. Someone whose inner knowledge of the canon in question is exquisite, and who can make sure you haven’t made any egregious mistakes. 

Formatting Beta. This is a person who makes sure your code is clear to be posted. In more complicated stories, this might be a bigger deal than usual.

One person can be many of these things; obviously they’re not mutually exclusive.  I think you could merge a few of the pieces and end up with a sort of sounding board beta you talk to before and during the writing, and then the person with the laser eyes you call in once you have something to actually look at. But these are (at least some) of the work that is behind the scenes of a fanfiction story.

If you are someone who would like to be someone’s sounding board, but you don’t really want to be responsible for line editing, you can still offer to beta. It’s just a different kind of relationship, and different expectations on both sides! All kinds of betas are welcome, useful, and intensely valuable!

Did I miss any?

If you were ever wondering what kind of beta work you want/need, or what kind of beta you are. This is a pretty good list to refer to.

I think I need to ask yet another less than bright question: What does the "Author's first check in" Feb 10-14 entail? And how does it differ from the deadline on Feb 21?

First, apologies for the late response, we’ve been rather busy. We do try to answer these in a timely manner but it may not always end up that way when life happens. 

Next, there is no such thing as a “less than bright” question! Every question is important and this is a good one. 

The first check in for authors is simply to let us know where you are at (if you’ve even started, have an outline, already done, have a rough draft and waiting for a beta, etc.) and let us know if you have any questions or concerns. We do this a week before the draft submission as a way to see if there is anyone that intends to drop before draft and summary submissions and before art claims and we use this check in as a reminder as well. We know that some people get busy with life or forget things, or whatever else that may keep them from writing, so we like to give a reminder in a way of checking in to see where every one stands. 

The Feb 21st deadline is draft and summary submissions. This is the time that you will be submitting a copy of what you’ve got so far with an outline for the rest, along with as detailed a summary as possible, major tags (if it is explicit please be sure to tag top/bottom), ratings, archive warnings, and characters and side pairings that appear. We ask for as detailed a summary as possible because this is the summary that will be posted for artist claims and we want the artist to be well informed before making selections, no one likes surprises in the form of unexpected squicks. 

The 21st will also be your first opportunity to upgrade or downgrade your fic. If you signed up for a mini bang and found out that you’re actually going to be doing a Big Bang, now is the time to let us know, same if you signed for a mega bang and found out it will not quite meet those word count requirements, just tell us you need to downgrade.

We hope that this answered your questions. If you have any others please do not hesitate to contact us, remember, communication is key!

hey, could i use one of my [probably secondary] fics for the poly bingo? I have a deancasjimmy square and I was wondering if it's allowed. thank you. :)

hi, my ask may have been eaten by tumblr earlier :) just wondering, can i combine the spn poly bingo with this challenge? i have a deancasjimmy square in that one. thank you!

Hey there anon! Your ask did not get eaten up, we’ve just been super busy. Sorry about that. 

While we would love for you to create separate works for each one because we want to see as much DCJ out there as possible, if you wish to use the DCJ Big Bang as one of your spn poly bingo squares absolutely go for it. The same posting rules apply though. 

As long as it is okay with the mod at @spnpolybingo for you to do it (Which we are pretty sure Christy will be alright with it) then you are good to go!

If you have any other questions don’t hesitate to ask. It might take a day or two but we will absolutely get to them because communication is key!!

We can’t wait to see what you create!

Forgive me for being slow... but I saw the beta list email and was wondering... what am I supoosed to do with it? I'm an author, so do I just randomly ask one of them to beta for me? How do I know if someone's already asked them?? HELP

Anon, this is not an unusual thing, especially if you are a participating in a bang for the first time. 

We do require your story to beta’d. We do not require you to use the list provided. That is there for you to use if you want to.

If you choose to use one of the people on the beta list go through the list and take notice of the rating of fic that they are willing to beta, then look at the list of things that they provided that they will not beta (such as A/B/O or non con, or major character death, etc) and find someone that is compatible with the story you are writing. 

Once you locate one or two people get their preferred contact info and shoot them a message telling that that you got their info from the beta list for the dcjbb and were wondering if they were able to beta. They should let you know if they can or can’t, if they can’t, wash rinse, repeat!

We hope that this has been helpful if you still have questions do not hesitate to talk to us. Send us another ask or even an e-mail. Remember, communication is key!

So, I was going over the rules again and noticed the first author chek-in is feb 10th and I was wondering: Do we need a beta at that point? and on the subject of betas, I would like one if you got one hidden somewhere :)

Excellent question. The time in which you get a beta is truly up to you. Just keep in mind that everyone works at a different pace so be sure they have plenty of time to look over your entire fic and you have time to implement changes you want from their suggestions. Having a beta by check in time, although recommended, is not mandatory. 

We just sent out an e-mail to all authors with a list of the betas that signed up. Feel free to take a look and contact one that would be compatible to your story. 

All authors: If you did not receive the e-mail that went out today with the beta list please let us know. 

If you have any further questions please contact us. Remember, communication is key.

Are you planning on creating an AO3 collection for us to add our fics to? I hope you do, I think it's a great way to keep everything together instead of just the tagging system.

Oh yeah, in fact it was the second thing that was created after the blog but before this thing was every mentioned to anyone (including the other two mods) because this mod was super excited about it all and thankfully didn’t get ahead of herself. 

The DCJ Big Bang collections for 2017 on Ao3. So the authors can add it to DCJBigBang2017 for everyone to be able to find easily. 

We will be sure to include this information in posts as a reminder the closer we get to posting. Thank you for your ask!!

i have a doubt! i signed up and everything to be in the artist selection on DCJ big bang... but i have no confirmation email or anything.... did i do something wrong?... or you will message me when i'm needed?

Hey there Anon! NOOO!!! You did nothing wrong at all! We have not sent out e-mail confirmations to the artists yet because artist sign-ups are still open! 

Within 24-48 after we close artist sign-ups we will send out e-mail confirmations. So hold tight and signal boost out artist sign-ups post for other great artists to see and we will contact you soon!

Should I assume if I haven't gotten an email yet that I haven't been selected to beta?

Apologies Anon, we have been busy and have not been able to get the e-mail confirmations out to betas. They will be sent out in the next 24 hours. 

As far as being selected to beta goes, that is up to the authors. We will be sending the authors a link to the list of everyone who has signed up to beta so that if they choose to they can take a look at everyone and their squicks/triggers/preferences to find a beta that would be a good fit for their story. 

If you signed up as a beta you can rest assured that you are on the list and may be contacted. We are not pairing beta’s and authors in case there is something in the story that we are unaware of that would not go over well with the beta. 

Thank you for your ask, your patience, and your understanding.

I was wondering if I sign up to make art for stories, can I make art on paper and upload a picture or is it limited to digital art?

Thank you for your question Anon!

If you sign up to do art, you absolutely can do it on paper. You can create it however you wish, it just needs to be uploaded (scanning is usually the best option) to be presented online. 

The art creations are not limited to digital. If you do a podfic, or video, or something similar then the best option, we believe, is to do it digitally rather then trying to convert it. 

By all means though, if you sign up as an artist, don’t feel obligated to create only in digital!
