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.

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!

Sign ups open March 24th.

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.

P.S. thanks to @majesticduxk for letting me know about this.

Second Author Check In

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!

So... if we find ourselves in the peculiar position of having written far more than we anticipated and thus *possibly* making it to the next type of bang, is it then too late by now (march 10th) to upgrade the size of bang we're submitting? I'm not saying it's happening, but it might unless it's too late to change by now - in which case I'll just make sure to stay at the limit :)

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!

Hey I have other questions! Didn't it say 28 authors checked in? Even though there's only 21 summaries? (Just curious) Also, once we claim a fic, will we get an email confirming which one we claimed? And if so, do we get it right after or after everything has been claimed? (I wanna make sure I don't lose anymore emails lol)

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!

#FAQ #fic summaries #art claims #dcjbb #dcjbigbang #dean/cas/jimmy #dean/cas/jimmy big bang #princessjimmynovak
I was wondering as to this artist claim business: Do you give the author's contactinfo to the claiming artist or do you tell the author to contact the artist? (Does this question make sense to anybody not currently in my head? Well, we'll see, won't we :) - )

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.

I'm back with another odd question! So, the schedule says final drafts are due on March 1st. My question is: does that mean 100% done, beta'd, and ready to be posted, or does that mean the entire fic is complete but it's okay to still be in the editing/betaing stage? (Only asking so I know how to pace myself). Thank you!

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!

Hey guys, firstly just wanted to check if you got my artist sign up? I wasn't sure if you were sending out confirmation emails. Secondly what's the process going to be for the art claim? I'm worried I'll miss it if it's a short window.

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!

So I submitted my summary and draft prior to your post today because I got a little excited... am I able to revise my summary? I realize I may not have a done that great a job on it because I was semi panicking over writing one at all... I don't want to lead any potential artists astray, you see.

If you want to submit a more detailed summary for claims go for it! Just be sure to do it by the submission deadline and please do so by responding to the confirmation email you received to keep it with the rest of the info.

If you have any other questions let us know, remember, communication is key!

Do we have to have a title cause I usually only think of one once I finish the fic?

A title is not required until you post. We will number the fics for the claims. 

Great question, if you have any others let us know, remember communication is key

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!

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!

How do you post a link to gmail? Do we use your email or is there a way to make the document public? I'm sorry I'm new at this.

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.

#Draft submissions #summary submissions #dcjbb #dcjbigbang #dean/cas/jimmy big bang #dean/cas/jimmy
Hey, I have a question about the summaries/art claim bits. Do artists claim on the basis of a summary, and do I need to include what's going to happen in the story in the summary? My summary right now is kind of baiting readers without telling where it's going, but I can make a more elaborate one if necessary?

For this question we highly suggest that you read this post on info for a summary that is being presented to artists.

What you are submitting to us is not for readers. What you are submitting to us is a summary that will entice the artist to want to pick your fic over everyone else’s. As it says in the post linked, you should include as much information as is relevant, as well as visually enticing elements that will draw the artist to your fic. 

A more elaborate summary is a good idea if only to let the artist know what they have available in the fic. You may have something that the artist isn’t comfortable creating for, on the other hand you may have something that an artist is dying to create for and you just happen to have it in your fic. 

The more detailed the better. Read that post and if you still have questions, let us know! Remember that communication is key!

So for the rough draft submission, I know having the whole thing entirely written would be ideal, but if it's not quite there, would "mostly done, with outlines/detailed plans for what's not" be okay? (Uh, asking for a friend who got sick and lost writing time... 🤒)

Thanks for the ask. You can let your “friend” know that it is okay if it isn’t finished by summary submission. We just need a detailed summary submission for the art claims and what ever you have written along with the rest of the outline. No need to stress. What is most important for draft and summary submission is the summary.

The summary and rating info along with tags and relationships will be posted for artists to see to make choices for the fic they wish to do art for. 

We hope that this answered your questions. If not feel free to submit another ask or email us! Remember communication is key!

#FAQ #draft submission #summary submission #dcjbb #dcjbigbang #dean/cas/jimmy #dean/cas/jimmy big bang #carrieosity
So, I was going over the schedule (again) and I kinda realized I'm not entirely comfortable submitting to a rating by Feb 21, so: Is it allowed/possible to maybe list a high rating that later might get down graded (or the other way 'round) or is it a done deal by that time?

Sorry we haven’t had much time to get to this. Thank you for the question, if you think that your fic would need a higher (or lower) rating when you submit your summary just add the current rating and add that it will possibly be higher or lower like this:

Rating: Teen (possibly Mature or Explicit) 

or

Rating: Mature (possibly Teen or General)

That way the artist will know what is possible before choosing. It is best to let the artists know before they choose that way you don’t surprise them with a rating that they are not comfortable creating art for.

I hope that this answered your question, if not, let us know! Remember, communication is key!

Author and Artist Sign-Ups are open!

spncanonbigbang:

While a li'l, sweet meet-cute in a new, fun, alternate universe is a totally fine thing, we believe there’s nothing like a good, ol’ piece of a canon-based fic, where all your characters are exactly as you remember them, and the plotlines keep exploring the depths of the world and mythology we all know so well from our favorite show.

Don’t you agree?

Is your head, too, overflowing with ideas for new Monsters of the Week, for finely weaved intricacies of another Apocalypse, or just for the simple, quiet moments of human interaction in-between the bouts of running for one’s life and saving the world?

Or maybe you can’t get out of your head the images of haunted mansions and sharp teeth, postcards from long, winding, American roads, or the scrapbooks of pictures of your otp falling in (or out of) love in all the familiar settings?

If the answer is HELL YEAHS! (or just “yes” is fine), this Big Bang is for you!

So don’t wait! Sign up for Supernatural Canon Big Bang 2017 today (or at some point in February) and join in on the fun of carrying on the fading tradition of canon-based fics!

To join, fill the Author Sign-Up form, the Artist Sign-Up form or the Beta Reader Sign-Up Form! (or all three!)

Authors, make sure to sign-up before March 1st! The rough drafts are due May 17th.

Artist sign-ups will remain open (but hey, why not get it over with right away?)

Once you sign up, you’ll get a confirmation e-mail within a few days. If after a week you still don’t get one, let us know.

For the full schedule, follow this link. (Note: we’ve implemented small changes into the schedule, which will hopefully let the whole process run smoother.)

Also, please, read the rules, so everything goes nicely and fair.

If you have any questions, hit us up in our askbox or via email: spncanonbigbang@gmail.com

Signal boosts are super appreciated: even if you don’t plan on participating, please reblog to spread the word and give others a chance to join :)
