Hi, I was wondering if you have a schedule for future big bangs, I missed the sign up and would like to be prepared for the next?

Hey there! 

Unfortunately, due to the mods crazy lives we do not have a schedule for the 2019 DCJ Big Bang yet. I can give you a tentative time frame of sign ups probably starting in December and postings in May/June. That is subject to change. 

One of our fantastic Mods (@unforth-ninawaters) had to step back because of life (Congrats on the new baby!!!) so it is just two of us now. So it depends on what the cards the universe holds. 

As soon as we know the schedule for the next sign-ups we will let folks know as well. It is usually closer to the end of the year though. 

However!

We will most likely (most definitely) be hosting another hiatus challenge this summer. We have not figured out the details or if it will be the same thing as last year but it will happen. So keep your eyes out for that come the looong hiatus from Supernatural this summer. 

We hope that this answered your question, if not, let us know. We are happy to clarify things. Remember: Communication is key! 

Sincerely, 

The DCJ Big Bang Mods

carrieosity asked:

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.

Anonymous asked:

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.

Ooookay. Big bang ( @dcjbigbang ) question here.

When it comes to adding art to a fic in AO3 is the only way to link to it?

I’m trying to set up my fic to publish, but obviously the art isn’t up yet. I have copies. I was wondering if I can just directly insert them, rather than wait for my artist to publish on the day?

(Also if you click “publish draft” from the draft page does that publish the whole multichapter fic in one go? Or do you have to go through and publish chapter by chapter?)

dcjbigbang

@anonymousantonym @winchester-reload had a super easy way to insert art into Ao3 without it having to be published. We have no idea how it works, but it does. Open a TEXT post on Tumblr and click picture to insert the photo. Once it is there go the the settings button at the top right hand corner and click HTML. Copy the code and paste it into Ao3. It will show up in Ao3 and you can cancel the tumblr post. Or save it as a draft. We hope that this helps and a huge thank you to @winchester-reload.

xforesttree asked:

Hey, a beta here, when's our deadline? Because of life events I couldn't match my author's deadline of the 1st of April. I've got 4.5 chapters left to check, the other's have been re-evaluated by my author already.

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.

theydraggedmein asked:

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!

princessjimmynovak asked:

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!

theydraggedmein asked:

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.

intotheruins-deactivated2018092 asked:

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!
