For a different Bang I’m in, we’ve been using Discord to chat with each other. Any chance of a DCJBB Discord chat? I’m already wishing I had one, to talk through ideas with other writers! (Artists are kept out of the writers’ chat area and vice versa until after claims.)
Well then guess what? You are in luck!
We’ve already had a discord server set up. We’ve just been waiting to announce it until we have more sign ups!
We also have it so that artists and authors are separate. We will be sending the link to the rules to every author and artist in a few days, so keep an eye out in your email for that!
I hope that this answers your question. If you have any others let us know.

Hi! Quick question about the dean/cas/jimmy relationship. I know most of the time Jimmy and Cas are depicted as twins, but I was wondering if I could write them as say, lookalikes instead? Say unrelated doppelgangers or something. Is that allowed?
Thank you for your interest in the DCJ BB!
This is a common question we get often. We are in the process of compiling our FAQ sheet and this will be included for sure.
Yes, we know that Cas and Jimmy are usually depicted as twins in most DCJ fics, however it is not a requirement. The two of them can be look-a-likes, doppelgangers, clones, one can even be a look-a-like android if you want.
They just have to look alike.
There is no requirement that they are related at all. It is recommended that you tag it something like Cas and Jimmy are not twins or Cas and Jimmy are not related or something similar so that the reader (and artist when the artist claims happen) know that they will look a like but there will be no relation between them.
We hope that this answers your question. If not please let us know and we will be happy to clarify further.

Dean felt incredibly exposed, standing in a pile of discarded clothing. “Draw me like your one of your French boys, Castiel.”
“You think I’ve drawn other men naked before?”
-
Castiel and Jimmy would never forget fall of 1929. It was the year they met Dean Winchester, a handsome traveler from the United States. The twins had never travelled outside of the borders, being Paris born and raised. Alas, they never had a sense of wanderlust until they met the foreigner. He showed them that there was a whole new world out there.
Or, the story in which Dean Winchester is the worst model ever.

Summary: Jimmy wanted to live forever. Cas was supposed to be an incorruptible Doctor. A chance meeting brings forth the stunning truth. Boredom leads them across ocean to the Worlds Fair right into the hunting grounds of Dean Holmes and his accomplice Sam. Will this the end of Jimmy and Cas or the start of a beautiful partnership?
Tags/Warnings: Mentions of torture. Slight dubcon. Top!Jimmy. Bottom!Cas. Bottom!Jimmy. Top!Dean.
Summary: It’s the roaring twenties, and Prohibition is in full swing. But for those that frequent speakeasies and those who run the alcohol to keep those speakeasies open, the spirits still flow freely. Castiel and his twin brother Jimmy, who live in sin with each other according to their family (and most other people as well), frequent just such an establishment as customers, and Dean just so happens to supply it. While Castiel feels inadequate because of his brother’s affections for the green eyed rumrunner, Dean only seems to encourage them. Though there may be more affections than anyone expected, and this might possibly be the start of something new.
Tags/Warnings: 1920s, Prohibition, incest/twincest, rumrunner!Dean, established Jimmy/Cas, mutual pining
Summary: Dean has had a hard life when Castiel and Jimmy find him on the side of the road. The two Alphas don’t smell anything on the man and assume he’s a Beta. Since the twins are mated, it shouldn’t make a difference, right?
Is there a collection on AO3 we need to post to? Or do we just have to use the "DCJ Big Bang" tag for now?
Great question! There isan AO3 collection - when posting your fic, go to “Post to Collections / Challenges” and search for “DCJ Hiatus Indulgence.” This goes for art posted on AO3 for the collection, too!
For the art promo submissions, should I come up with a little story for the picture caption? I just described what was happening in the picture, but it seems like no one else did that lol. I'm assuming it probably doesn't matter that much
It’s totally up to you - the art captions are completely optional and up to the artist’s discretion. If you’d like to do a description of the picture, a mini story, or just a tagline (or nothing at all!), we completely support your decision!

Summary: Castiel and Jimmy would never forget fall of 1929. It was the year they met Dean Winchester, a handsome traveler from the United States. Cas is a budding artist, never finding a model more handsome than the foreigner. On the other hand, Jimmy is an author with many romance novels under his belt, but no stories were quite as amazing as his love life in 1929. It isn’t long before Dean waltzes into the twin’s hearts, proving that Paris really is the most romantic city in the world. With the war around their corner, will their love live on?

Very Small Teaser: Castiel and Jimmy would never forget fall of 1929. It was the year they met Dean Winchester, a handsome traveler from the United States.

Every single afternoon, the Novak twins would sit by a railroad stop. There was a beautiful, but old, bench placed at the stop. When there wasn’t a huge train blocking it, there was a wonderful hilltop view of thousands of lit up houses below. It was an ideal location for the budding artistic pairing. Cas strived to create beautiful masterpieces with his canvas, whereas Jimmy aimed to create beautiful masterpieces in form of literary works.
They both witnessed beauty that inspired, but nothing more so than the man who exited the train station that afternoon. Cas was cleaning his sketch work, and Jimmy was completing his outline when the train came to a shrieking stop. “There goes your work.” The older twin whispered.
Cas glanced over at Jimmy when he spoke. “I’m actually just sketching. I don’t know what I want to draw.” He frowned a little bit, rubbing his neck.
“You’re an artistic genius,” The man assured as the normal swarm of people exited the train. “I’m sure that you’ll think of something in the nick of time, Cassie.”
Castiel didn’t reply at first, eyes scanning over the incoming crowd. “You have more faith in me than I do.”
Another One Liner:
Dean felt incredibly exposed, standing in a pile of discarded clothing. “Draw me like your one of your French boys, Castiel.“

Teaser:
The night was cold as Castiel walked through the alley on his way home. He’d stayed later at the hospital tonight- the fire in West London brought too many people in for the night crew to take care of by themselves. Castiel didn’t mind, though, the streets were less busy at this hour (no one liked to walk through the east end of London after dark; it wasn’t safe). Despite the danger, Castiel always walked these streets after work to make sure that anyone who needed help could get it. Even with believing he was always safe on these streets, the chill in the air was something he couldn’t shake. He felt as though someone was watching him. To shake this feeling, he stopped at what he thought was a shoppe window to fix his waistcoat while he looked out of the corner of his eyes for movement. Just as he was going to move on, convinced he was alone, he realized the reflection wasn’t his.
–
The other man’s eyes slowly fluttered open. A gasp signaled that he’d seen Jimmy’s face. Well, their face. The doppelganger looked around and observed that he was tied to a chair in a nice apartment. There was a painting on the wall to his left of a man who could be either of them, frozen in different oils and chalk, it caused the twin to gasp upon seeing it.
“Weird, huh?” Jimmy acknowledged. “I find it weird, because I just became immortal two years ago. Yet here you are, the same age as me.”
The other man opened his mouth, cocking his head in confusion, then slowly closed it again as if unsure he should say anything at all.
“Ah, yes. ‘Immortal,’ not something you hear every day, huh? Tell me, young man, what is your name?”
“Cas- Castiel.”
“Do you remember your life before two years ago?”
“Yea- I- Well I-” Castiel tilted his head to the side, thinking.
“Interesting. My name is Jimmy Grey, by the way,” he said to his new ‘friend.’ Continuing his thought more to himself as he went on staring at his painting, “I think that when I got my picture painted, you became real. Some copy of me that was the good I wasn’t anymore.”
“But- I- I can’t be you. Jimmy Grey is famous. I am my own man.”
Castiel continued to try to remember anything. What his parents were like. What his childhood was like. A favorite color, anything that would prove that what Jimmy was saying wasn’t true. He came up with nothing. The more he thought it through, the more he found gaps in his own mind, even from the last two years. He started to ask himself why he always walked through East London to get home when his home was nowhere near there, and why sometimes when he came home it was morning when he’d left at dusk. Most importantly, why in those times were there was always news of a missing girl, and blood on his hands.
“Have you heard of The Ripper,” Jimmy asked as if he was reading Castiel’s mind.
Summary: It’s the roaring twenties, and Prohibition is in full swing. But for those that frequent speakeasies and those who run the alcohol to keep those speakeasies open, the spirits still flow freely. Castiel and his twin brother Jimmy, who live in sin with each other according to their family (and most other people as well), frequent just such an establishment as customers, and Dean just so happens to supply it.

Teaser:
Castiel let out a sigh of relief a few minutes later when he spotted the familiar short light brown hair over by the bar. He nudged his brother in the ribs, and Jimmy glanced up. Castiel rolled his eyes as his brother’s demeanor shifted immediately, going from mostly tipsy to mostly happy in the blink of an eye. When the rumrunner was done talking to the owner, he turned around and gave the crowd an obvious perusal, as if trying to spot someone. When he stopped his search and headed over to their table, it was obvious who that someone was.
“Heya Jimmy, Cas,” Dean said, nodding his head at each twin in turn. “Fancy running into you two here.” He followed that up with a wink before he flagged down the waitress to order something for himself.
“Oh, you know we’ll always be here,” Jimmy flirted, causing Castiel to inwardly wince. While the incest was definitely their worst sin, just being attracted to a member of the same sex was a hell worthy trespass that tended to sicken most people, a fact which Jimmy always seemed to forget the moment he’d had a little too much alcohol.
But instead of disgust, Dean just laughed. “One of the perks of the job, I’d like to think,” he said, sounding just as flirtatious as Jimmy. Castiel felt like there was a lump steadily forming in his stomach. As much as he wanted for his brother’s happiness, he couldn’t help but be selfish and want to keep him. Were Dean a girl, Castiel might be willing to step aside and suffer so that his twin could at least live a normal life, but with Dean he would still be persecuted for being wrong and unnatural, so his selfishness didn’t seem as bad just this once. Damned either way, after all.
Dean tipped the waitress heavily as she dropped off his drink, seemingly flirting with her as well, causing Castiel to relax just slightly. Jimmy wasn’t special, Jimmy was still his, not Dean’s. But with that weight removed from his shoulders, the worry without reason returned with a vengeance. “You said that we could go soon,” Castiel reminded his brother, no longer caring how whiny he sounded.
“I’m not keeping you two from something, am I?” Dean asked, actually looking concerned. As much as he disliked the man for potentially taking Jimmy from him, he could at least admit to himself that he completely agreed with Jimmy. He would never tell Jimmy, of course, but he also found Dean rather attractive and quite intriguing. The confusion this caused in his head probably only strengthened his dislike.
I think it's really rude to post "teasers" without saying anywhere that these are fics that are not yet available. How about a simple "coming soon" or a freaking posting date?
You seem distressed by this age old trend of advertising entertainment before it comes out in order to build hype. While we here at the DCJ Big Bang are very understanding that it can be frustrating that the author did not submit a posting date or date range when they submit their works to us, we also would appreciate it if you were kind enough to maybe just leave a note on the post asking about the date range.
We also understand that it can be difficult to wait for quality content, but these authors and artists work incredibly hard on the very free content that they post for others entertainment. They deserve to have their work promoted to build hype so that people will want to read it or see it. Many bangs and challenges do this, it is a very common practice.
Considering that the content is free and the artists and authors and putting their own time into it, and the three mods running this blog are also very busy, it would be appreciated if the lack of a small thing such a posting date or “coming soon” announcement on the promo post could be forgiven by those who would like to read it later.
Again, we are all busy, and we are all doing this for free.
What we are doing here is no different than the hype of a movie trailer, or a TV show, or even a new chapter teaser for another book in a series that will be coming out in a year’s time. If what the author or artist has created is something that appeals to you, we strongly encourage you to make a note of it to come back to see/read it later. If you wish to know the exact posting date, or in the case of the DCJ Hiatus Indulgence Challenge, posting range, then by all means leave a polite inquiry with us, ask in the notes, or even politely ask the author/artist of said creation.
We would like to impress upon all our followers that it was never our intention to be “really rude” it was a simple matter that was overlooked. We would also like to point out that the posting date range was announced when the challenge was announced as well and is easily found under the rules.
If anyone was curious to know the posting range for all creations of this challenge here it is: October 1-12 — Open posting begins. Submit your masterpost to the DCJBB Blog at any time during this period.
We appreciate your interest in the artists and authors creations and are sure the authors and artists do too. We hope that this clears everything up for you for this and future challenges we will be running on this blog. We will also make every effort to attempt to communicate better in the future. Remember, communication is key.
Caption: It’s a well known fact that Lords Castiel and James Novak are the most sought after bachelors in London.
Due to their family’s standing in society, they have position, means and are completely charming in every way; many a mother has tried to capture them for their daughters but so far no one has been successful.
Nor would any of them ever be.
Because it is also a well established fact that neither Castiel nor James are interested in finding a wife. Why would they need too? Their eldest brother Gabriel has already had a multitude of male heirs so there is no pressing need for them to carry on the family line. They can spend the rest of their lives playing the bachelor without causing any sort of problem for the family.
Or raising any suspicion. For the Novak twins have more than a few secrets.
The first being that they use a portion of their income to fund a high end brothel. A clean and well organized establishment run by a trusted friend. This would normally only be cause for a slight scandal if they were to be found out but then there is the second secret.
The brothel is only a means to keep their favorite molly Dean in the lap of luxury.
