dcjbigbang:

This is a reminder that sign ups for the Dean/Cas/Jimmy Big Bang close tomorrow! 

Author and Beta sign ups close January 5, 2017 at 11 pm EST    time zone converter  

Do to the low number of Artists we are planning on extending the sign up date for artists until further notice. 

For the first time around and being a rare pair we have received such an overwhelming response and are thrilled!
As of right now we have:

  • 30 Authors
  • 26 Betas

I just wanted to address the concern about not having enough artists. While the idea of getting art to go with my work is great, I honestly sign up for things like this to give myself a deadline as much as for the art. It makes it more likely I'm going to finish a story, if I have a schedule.

That is fantastic! We know that there are a lot of authors that do this same thing. When you sign up for something with a deadline you feel the desire and drive to finish it on time. It can be a great motivator. 

It is also so fun with these bangs to have art to accompany a story, to see what the author has created and then to see what the artist has created in response to the words. So we will be keeping the artist sign ups open in hopes that we get some more on board. If not we do have a few who are willing to do art for more than one story. 

We hope that you are enjoying the DCJ Big Bang so far and really look forward to the story that you are creating.

I've not done much art before (my first real go in ages is being posted in the SPN AU Bang next week) and I'm already signed up as an author, but could I sign up as an artist as well?

Anon, 

YES! Absolutely, you can. The only rule of thumb when you sign up as both Artist and Author is that you are not allowed to choose your own story to do the art for. 

That’s it! So come join us and sign up as an artist if you are comfortable with it. We would love to have you!!!

I don't like seeing such few artists, lol, so I could sign up right now, and if you have enough artists later I'd be happy to drop out. :) Question is till when can I drop out, because I'd honestly love to create art but I am not sure if I'll have time, actually.

Anon, Thank you for the ask. We here at the DCJ Big Bang also don’t like seeing so few artists. Unfortunately that is the way it goes quite often with Bangs like this, especially since this is a rare pair that we are trying to make more visible and accepted. So we have to do our best and hope for the best.
One of the best ways to get the artists we need is to re-blog the posts where artists can see them and tag them where they will be found. This can be super helpful. 

Now, you can absolutely sign up as an artist. Just keep in mind that if you do need to drop out as an artist the latest you can do so is before artist claims. Once you claim a fic we feel that you have made a commitment to that author. We understand that sometimes things do occur in life that prevent us from fulfilling commitments, but we hope that in the spirit of fun and fandom, everyone that signs up and commits can make it though. 

If there is a timing issue, please come to us and we can discuss it. It isn’t the first time we have already had to handle an issue with the time line and moving forward and it may not be the last. We are here, talk to us. We will work with you. 

I also feel that it is important to encourage everyone involved, artists/authors/betas, to only sign up for what you feel comfortable with. If you feel comfortable that you can complete a mega bang (write/art/beta) do it! If not, maybe start with a smaller one. 

As far as artists go, I am aware of how much time and care can go into creating art, when you create for these stories there are three options, 

Mini Bang: 1 piece of art
Big Bang: 2 pieces of art
Mega Bang: 3 pieces of art

I know that some artists have also said they are or may be interested in doing work for more than one story, if we don’t get enough artists we may take them up on that. Hopefully we will get more artists signed up though.
So be sure to pick one that you are comfortable that you can complete on time. Again, if there is a timing issue with something in your personal life we can work something out. 
As always please 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.

theydraggedmein replied to your post “Right, stupid question time: Are you guys going to set up those who…”

It answers the question as far as betas go, but how about the artist-part!?

Apologies, @theydraggedmein, when we posted this we missed the artist part and focused solely on the beta. 

All authors will submit summaries which must include: rating, all archive warnings, major tags, and a description of the work. Any explicit/major side pairings should also be listed.
After all authors submit we will post the summaries for artists to view. We do this without revealing the author so it gives everyone a chance to possibly work with someone they don’t know.
The next day artist claims open. The artists will fill out and submit a form with their first five choices of fics they’d like to create art for. It is first come first serve, so the sooner you submit your choices, the better chance you have of getting your first choice.
As the claims come in we will update which ones have been claimed and send out emails to the artists and authors to inform them who they will be working with. Art claims will stay open until all fics are claimed. Some artists have expressed interest in possibly doing more than one fic, that is fine, as long as the deadlines are still able to be met
It is up to the author and artist at this point to open a line of communication for creating as they move forward. Remember, as with any relationship, the one between author and artist/beta included, communication is key. 

We hope that this answers the rest of your question. If you need further clarification please let us know, we love to hear from you and want to do our best to make this fun, we can only do that if we make sure that all questions are answered. 

Remember: communication is key!

Right, stupid question time: Are you guys going to set up those who sign up as authors with betas/artist?

No stupid questions! Promise. 

As far as betas go the authors are free to find a beta for their work however they wish. We won’t assign betas to authors. 
If they need help finding a beta they will have access to the list with all the beta’s that have signed up and they can contact them directly and work it out with them. 
We do this so that authors and betas will be better matched. Even if given a summary of their fic with tags, the author is the only one that truly knows what is going on in the story, we don’t want to assign betas only to find out that the author put in a squick or trigger the beta may have forgot to mention. 
By taking it into their own hands the authors and betas have a better chance of finding a more suitable match for their story and we avoid the possibility of a beta regretting signing up or even dropping out. 
We truly do not want that to happen because we want this to be fun and enjoyable for every participant involved.

We hope tat this answers your question. If not please let us know and we will be happy to clarify further.

For draft sumbissions, in addition yo the summary and tags and things, can we just submit a link to the google docs page where we are working on it?

Apologies for the late response Anon. When it comes time to submit your fic you can either send us a word document through email at dcjbigbang at gmail, or send us a link to your google document at the same address.
Please, everyone, when it comes time to submit, send everything to the gmail address listed so that everything is in one place. It is appreciated by the mods. 

If there are any other questions about the schedule or rules you may be able to find the answers at the links, if not, you might be able to find something that has already been answered through asks just click this FAQ link. 
Feel free to continue to send us asks on or off anon, we are happy to hear form you all and help with any questions or concerns you may have.

December 2016

Alright, so... I'm signed up as a writer, my friend isn't. I'm not sure if they're going to sign up, or even collaborate with me, but... I'm still in the process of convincing them. ;) But they're not signed up. So I can't submit a collabed fic with them, am I right? Thank you for making this bang happen! c:

Yes, if you wish to collaborate with someone they do not have to be signed up with us, you can just go off Anon and send a message/ask or an email and let us know who you are and who they are and that you are doing a collaboration. As long as we know it is a collaboration as soon as possible and most definitely before artist claims. 

We are excited to see what you write. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact us.

What if our fic is more than 5k but less than 15k would it still be considered a mini bang or does it need to be exact?

To be fair to all writers and artists, once your fic hits 15k or more it will be considered a Big Bang. Same goes for Big Bangs, if they hit or go over 50k they will be considered a Mega Bang. You will have a chance to upgrade/downgrade with check ins. If your word count changes after artist claims you must be sure to keep in contact with your artist. 

Please remember that communication is the foundation of all good relationships, that includes the one with your artist. It is best to have a good idea before artist claims what your story will end up as. We all know though that sometimes things get away from you and when you plan an 8k fic it ends up being 15k+ so it is okay, as long as you communicate with everyone involved. 

We hope this answers your question. If not feel free to send another ask.

anon asked: IF I’VE GOT A COMMISSIONED PIECE OF ART FROM SOMEONE CAN I USE IT FOR ONE OF MY DCJBB FICS?

So the admins have talked and decided that since part of Big Bangs is collaborating with others, any art you’re incorporating into your fic should be from artists who have signed up for the bang.  

HOWEVER… commissioned art is of course welcomed (even encouraged) for secondary fics i(i.e. if you plan on writing more than one fic).

I WANT TO PARTICIPATE AS AN ARTIST BUT I CAN'T DRAW AND/PR PHOTO MANIP AT ALL!!!!!!! :'( jk I can draw but I'm too scared to.

There is no need to be scared! Honest. We here at DCJ Big Bang are truly lovely people. Or so we’ve been told. We have on occasion been accused of introducing people to this particular ship and getting them hooked but I think that is far from evil. 
if you want to do it and are scared you don’t have to. It can be a very rewarding experience though. I know as a writer it is always a wonderful experience when I see my work being enjoyed by others. 
Also, if there is something specific that you are worried about (perhaps ending up drawing something that you are not comfortable drawing, which no one, not even your author, expects you to do) then it can always be worked out so you are more comfortable with it. 
Trust us, we as authors are happy to have an artist pick our story to help us tell it with some visuals (or audios). So there is no reason to be scared. 
Again, Anon, it is your choice to sign up or not, I’m just trying to put your mind at ease if you decide you do want to. We would love to have you on board, artists are always a rare commodity during these bangs and we appreciate each and every person that signs up, artist, author, or beta. 

If you have any other questions please feel free to contact us further if you wish. Or if you wanted to go off anon and send me (FormidablePassion) a message we could have a chat about it if that would put you at ease too.

how many artists, authors and betas have signed up till now? out of curiosity. this is a great project you've started, by the way!

Anon, 

Thank you, we here at the DCJ Big Bang feel that there needs to be more Dean/Cas/Jimmy love out there and figured that we would do our part in trying to make that happen. 

As for how sign ups are going right now? 
At time of posting this we have:

  • 17 Authors
  • 13 Betas
  • 6 Artists

If you are considering signing up, Anon, you have until January 5th to sign up. 

We’ve had a great outcome so far considering signs ups have only been open for about 48 hours.

What's the difference between an author artist and beta?
  • An author is the person, or persons if you have a co-author, that write the fic.
  • An artist is the person that does the art for the fic they choose. 
  • A beta is a person who reads your work before you post it to check for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and continuity errors. 

I hope that this answers your question, Anon.

I might sign up as an artist if I'm not too busy in the coming months and I wanted to know, what if an artist wants to do more than one fic and all are claimed? Can they then ask to look at the second/third fic of an author? Or will the second/third fics be off limits for claims? It's fine if they are/are not, but I just wanted to confirm. Thank you in advance!

Anon, 

This is an excellent question. If there are fics left without artists after initial art claims, artists are welcome to claim another fic.  

We do not ever want to pass up an opportunity to provide art for dcj. So in the case that authors and artists wish to create more than one fic and art for more than one fic we will include an option on the sign up form to let us know if you are interested in creating more than one. 
This way we can determine if there will be enough secondary fics and artists interested in creating art for them to be able to post a secondary art claim. 

A note to authors: If a secondary art claim post is made it does not guarantee that you will have an artist for that fic. Artists are only committed to one fic unless they choose otherwise. Please keep this in mind.

CAN WE WRITE MORE THAN ONE FIC!?!?!?

Of course you can! We here at DCJ Big Bang encourage every DCJ shipper to create fiction and art for this amazing ship. There is not enough out there!

In order to make sure that every author’s fic gets an artist only one of your stories will be posted for art claims. If you wish to discuss with your artist the possibility of them creating art for additional stories, that is between you and the artist but keep in mind that they are not obligated to.

While it is not allowed to do the art for your main DCJBB story, if you write a second, or third, and wish to create art for them yourselves, you are welcome to do so.

I hope that this answers your questions sufficiently anon. If there are any other questions feel free to ask!

Dkakskddm sorry for spamming with useless "questions" but guess who cannot wait for tomorrow????? (Also could you maybe turn anon asks on if that's ok so that I don't feel insanely guilty every time I excitedly scream into your inbox or smth? Just a suggestion. :P)

Didn’t realize that the anon was not on. We will turn the option on. Also, we will be squinting our eyes wondering if it is you every time. 

What is tomorrow? If you’re talking about signups, those begin on Monday December 5th.

If there is something else that you are excited about then, YAY! We are excited with you.

Rules

Some people are having a hard time viewing the links on mobile so we will be making them available to view by posting them. Apologies for the long(ish) posts. 

Rules:

Main ship has to be Dean/Cas/Jimmy

There can be other ships but end goal has to be DCJ

Any other side pairings are fine

No RPF or RPS.

Underage must be tagged

No extreme underage in sexual situations (under 13)

No extreme age gaps if one of the characters is underage (no 14 years olds with 28 year olds for example)

Mentions of past underage abuse/involvement is acceptable as long as there is none shown “on screen”

All major warnings must be tagged in your summary, and cannot be subsequently changed unless you consult with your artist and they say it’s alright.

Major warnings are: Rape/Non Con, Dub Con, Underage, Major Character Death, Graphic Depictions of Violence; Suicide/Self-harm, Torture, Bestiality, Addiction

Crossovers allowed, DCJ must be the main focus though

Must be an original work not posted anywhere else before your posting date. It’s fine if you started writing the work before the challenge began, as long as it’s never been shared publicly.

Participants may sign up as both an author and an artist as long as you can meet all deadlines for both.

You may not create art for your own story

Co-authors are allowed but the art rules still apply

Authors and artists are responsible for communicating during creation of work to meet deadlines

After you submit your work to @dcjbigbang on tumblr we encourage you to post your fic in whichever platform you wish, we only ask that you link back to DCJBB

If you do not have a tumblr/livejournal you can submit your work to us and we will post it for you

No art may depict minors being sexualized or in sexual situations.

Stories must be beta’d before being submitted. Betas may sign up starting on December 5th, and beta sign up will continue until all authors indicate they have betas. Authors are not required to choose a beta who has signed up for the challenge. If you need help finding a beta, contact the DCJ BB mods.

Permitted Posting Platforms include Ao3, Tumblr, Livejournal, and FanFiction.net. If there is another platform that you are interested in posting on for the initial fic posting please contact the DCJ BB mods

Remember this is your work, your rights, you can post it anywhere you wish after initial submissions and postings are made. If you wish to post it somewhere else and want to include the art please contact your artist for approval of posting on that platform. Kindly remember: not all artist are comfortable with their work being posted everywhere.

On your posting date you must post your entire fic on every platform on which you release it.

You may not put out teasers or talk publicly about the content of your fic until after artist claims.

#rules #dcjbb #dcjbigbang #rules for mobile #mobile
I use tumblr primarily on mobile and am having a trouble following any of the links in your post. They keep looping back to original posts. Any idea how to see schedule and rules then?

I have that same problem when I’m on mobile as well. 
So for those on mobile I will make a post with the rules, schedule, and info. 
It is so irritating when that happens. So be prepared for a couple long posts.

does the minimum word count increase if we're cowriting with someone? thank you so much for starting this, i think i'll be getting a lot of dcj fics to read :D

The minimum word count does not increase. You are allowed a coauthor for your fic no matter which bang you choose. Everything will remain the same, one artist for each fic, all rules apply. 
I hope that answers your question, if not please do not hesitate to ask for further clarification. If you want you can check out the Info and Rules pages which might answer any other questions you have.
