  • Archive Warnings

  • major tags

  • Any explicit/major side pairings should also be listed.

  • Summary and description of the work.

    • This summary and description will be what is posted for the artist claims. It would benefit you to give as many visuals for the artist to get a better idea of things they may be able to create for art. It could go a long way to making your fic stand out.

This will be your first opportunity to upgrade or downgrade your fic (switch from MiniB to BB to MegaB). Drafts are submitted to dcjbigbang@gmail.com.
