Just an announcement that the posting schedules will go out in email before they are posted here.
They will not be posted until 6 pm EST.
Due to personal reasons one of our artists had to drop and we have a story without art.
If there is an artist that would be interested in creating two pieces of art for one of the stories that will be posting next month that would be fantastic.
Due to time constraints the posting date will be towards the end of posting to give the artist time to create art.
If you are interested please drop us an ask or an e-mail so that we can give you more details.
Thank you everyone that shared this post. Thanks to your quick reblogging efforts and interest in helping us we have already found an artist!
You all rock!

So it’s a Big Bang? Two pieces?
Yes it is a big bang. Two pieces of art. The story looks very good. It is explicit (not that the art has to be)

Please be sure to keep a look out for an email that was sent out this evening with information regarding the schedule and final check ins/draft submissions.
If you have not received this email please be informed that the due date for drafts (authors on April 1st and the artists by April 3rd) has been extended to 11 pm EST (time zone converter ) on Wednesday April 5th. Due to several requests for an extension to do life events we have decided to do a blanket extension for every participant.
To those that have already checked in with us, thank you and please disregard this. For those who have already contacted us to make other arrangements please keep those arrangements.
If you need to contact us about any other arrangements please do so. We want to make sure that this bang is fun and stress free for everyone involved. We will do our best to accommodate the participants with arrangements, but in order to do so we need to communicate. Remember, communication is key.
With the final days coming up quick we need to be sure that we are communicating the best that we can to make the most of our little bang here. We are all excited to finally have these stories and art shared with everyone!
Important Dates:
April 5th: All artists and authors to have checked in with us or made other arrangements.

Hi there! This is an excellent question, one we are happy to answer!
Beta’s have no deadline to us. As a beta your deadline is to your author and their posting date (which will be announced tomorrow). The most recent draft submission and check in for authors was a simple reminder and assurance that they will be ready when posting begins in less than a month.
So beta’s need not worry about meeting the authors check in dates, only the self imposed ones. Ideally as a beta you will have the beta work done with enough time for the author to check it and accept or reject any edits made. How much time that requires is up to each author individually.
We hope that this helps answer your question. If you need any more clarification please don’t hesitate to contact us again, remember, communication is key!

From their FAQ:
What is the WIP Big Bang?
Good question! This is a Big Bang with one goal in mind: to clean out your drafts folder. These are stories that were unfinished for whatever reason, that authors returned to and completed, and the art that goes with them!Worth checking out if you’ve got a WIP you wanna finally finish.
This includes fics that have already been partially posted to AO3.
~ dreamsfromthebunker
P.S. thanks to @majesticduxk for letting me know about this.
The time has come folks!
The second author check in is here. It is a simple form and quick to do. We have sent an email out to all of you please read it and follow the link to fill out the form and let us know how you’re doing.
If you are unable to access your email at the moment you can fill the form out right here: Second Author Check In.
We only ask that if you are collaborating only one of you fill the form out with both authors info.
If there are any concerns or questions let us know. Communication is key!
This is an excellent question. There is one more author check in before final drafts are due. Since at this point you have an artist already, it is up to you to communicate with your artist and make sure that they are comfortable creating an additional piece of art for your story within the time frame.
If your artist has no issues with the time line and creating an additional piece you can let us know about this upgrade at the next check in in the option “Any other questions/comments/concerns” spot. As far as upgrade/downgrade with check in there will not be an option for that.
We do not want to try to contain your creativity by telling you that upgrading isn’t an option. We just want to make you aware that it is something that needs to be discussed with your artist partner. Because you are now in a partnership with your artist and communication is key.
We will always encourage more DCJ because the world needs it.
We hope that this answers your question. If not, let us know!
Below the cut is the list of the authors and their artists. If you have yet to receive an e-mail please let us know as soon as possible so that we can get the info out to you.
Apologies for the delay, this was supposed to be out two days ago.
All fics have been claimed. Pairings will be posted in a few hours.
If you have not received an e-mail from us by the time the pairings have posted here please let us know so that we can resend information to you.
We still have two fics that have not been claimed for the Big Bang challenge.
If you would like to claim another fic, Now would be the time. We would like to announce all fics claimed tomorrow and post the pairings list.
If you have claimed a fic and not received an email from us with the information please let us know so that we can re send it.
If you have any questions please let us know. Remember communication is key!
Second round of art claims will open up on Wednesday March 1, 2017 at 10 am EST. [time zone converter]
If you are an artist that is interested in claiming an additional fic for this challenge you may do so at this time.
At the time of posting this there are still six stories left up for claim.
Happy claiming.
2nd round is now open!

Happy claiming.
We still have 6 fics left to be claimed. All fics that have been claimed e-mails have went out to both artists and authors.
If you are an artist that has submitted a claim and have not received a confirmation e-mail with your author information please contact us immediately.
Good questions!
We did have 28 authors check in We actually had all authors check in with us. However we did end up having several of the authors drop. So we ended up with 21 summaries.
Claims that have been made already are marked as such and emails for those claims will begin going out shortly.
If you have any other questions please let us know, remember communication is key!
When the claims come in (and this mod has time) e-mails will be going out to authors and artists with info on which fic they claimed/who claimed their fic, and all the contact information they need to move forward.
It is from this point on that author and artist should establish communication and begin discussing things for art for the fic. Good communication is key to every relationship and this one is no different. Make sure that the artist/author relationship is one with open communication!
If you have any other questions please let us know.
Excellent question!
We are going to go out on a limb and guess you meant April 1st? Had to go take a look at the schedule because you freaked this mod out for a minute.
For the April 1st Final check in your fic should be finished or close to finished. It does not have to be completely beta’d by that point either, posting does not begin until May 1st. So you have all of the month of April.
Please keep in mind that you need to be sure to give your beta enough time to go through and do their beta work before your scheduled posting date.
We hope that this answers your question. If not don’t hesitate to contact us again. Remember, communication is key!
Artists, claims are open. You should have received an email from us with instructions on how to claim. If you did not receive this email, please let us know. We did not have any kicked back to us so please check your email.
Anton,
Yes, we did receive your sign up, apologies for not sending a confirmation email, things have been a bit hectic. We will be posting the summaries for preview today.
The timeline says we will open claims tomorrow, however, we will be moving that date to allow the artists more time to look over all the summaries and have a chance to take their time picking. All artists will be receiving an e-mail shortly with instructions and a link to begin taking a look at the summaries.
Thank you for question and please let us know if you have any other. Remember communication is key!

“Summary and Draft Submissions”how do we know if we are 1 of the 4 authors. i filled out my check in but never got confirmation that it was received
We have received your check in, @mrsgabrieltrickster if you did not get an email confirmation that you checked in that was because we have not sent them out.
The only e-mails that we sent out after check in were to the ones who we did not submit a check in with us. We will be sending out draft submission confirmations as we receive them. So keep a look out for that once you submit your draft!
We hope that this answered your question, if not please do not hesitate to submit an ask or an email. Remember communication is key!
carrieosity replied to your post “Summary and Draft Submissions”
Now that you mention it, I didn’t get a confirmation, either, when I checked in…did it go through?
@carrieosity if you did not receive an email from us that is a good thing in this case!
Thank you for the question. If you have any others please do not hesitate to ask! Remember communication is key!

We have a close date for artist sign ups. We will be closing sign ups on February 18, 2017. This is one week before the summaries are posted for viewing. If you have been on the fence about signing up as an artist you have until Feb. 18th at 11 pm EST to decide if you want to.
We have:
- 30 Authors
- 30 Betas
And as of right now we have:
- 20 Artists
If you know any artists that may be interested in creating art for a story please reblog and tag them in it so they know we are looking!
Here is more information for those who might be interested:
If you are an interested artist, or know an artist who might be interested, sign up and be ready for the artist claims that open up on Feb. 25, 2017!
So you do need a copy of everything we’ve written so far?
Yes, @theydragged me in. A link to the google docs, or an attachment to the draft. You have already submitted everything but the draft, so if you will just send another email with the draft and that would be fine.
If you have any other questions, let us know. Remember, communication is key!

We did forget to post our e-mail in the submissions post and we will go back and fix that.
If you have your fic written up in a document program that is not google docs, just attach the file to the email.
If you have your fic in google docs you can either download it and attach the file or there is a button in the top right hand corner that says “Share” it looks like this:

Click on that and you will get a window that looks like this:

The words highlighted in the green is where you want to click to get a link that you can copy and paste into the email that you submit to us.
When you do this you have options be sure to pick the view option to send us:

We hope that this has been helpful.
Once you do all of that you can send over all the info to us at dcjbigbang at gmail.
If we did not answer your question fully please feel free to send another ask, or shoot us an email. There are no stupid questions here and most importantly communication is key!
I already sent the mail but it’s not exactly like that even though all infos are there, do I have to do it again or is it fine as is?
If you submitted your draft and it isn’t in the exact order listed on the post, do not worry, as long as the information is there we do not need you to submit it again.
That was a great question. Thank you.
