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

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.

Remember: Communication is key!

I haven't seen a post on this, but maybe I just didn't go back far enough? Will you be allowing endgame relationships that aren't just DCJ? I was disappointed to see that happen during the BB, and I've never seen another Bang with a specific pairing do that.

Hi there, Anon! 

There isn’t a specific post about what is and isn’t allowed, but there is a link with every post that has the challenge details/rules/guidelines listed. You can find it here. 

As far as what you are asking about endgame relationships that aren’t just DCJ? This is the information posted regarding that: 

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

You can add to the ship — if you want to include additional people, that’s fine, but you can’t take out Dean, Cas, or Jimmy.

A lot of people want to write DCJ but end up having one of them with someone else and not part of the tirade that makes up DCJ, or poly if you add to the relationship. 
Right now, our main goal is to spread the love of this lesser known ship and let people know that it exists at all. The Mods that run this blog are very passionate about DCJ and want to see our boys, Dean, Cas, and Jimmy, happy. Together. Or with more added. But not separate. 

We are sorry to hear about your disappointment regarding the DCJ Big Bang. We will be sending out surveys to all that participated in the Big Bang to gather input to see what we can do to improve for next year. If you were a participant please be sure to fill out the survey when you receive it and give us as detailed  feedback as possible so that we can do what we are able to make the next DCJ Big Bang and other DCJ challenges as fun and rewarding for everyone as we can. 

As far as not seeing other bangs have these same guidelines and rules: Much like people each bang is different and unique in their own way. If you don’t like those restrictions, again, please tell us in the survey. If it is a friendship type thing that you are searching for that allows each of them to be with other people, put that in the survey, we can’t make changes if we do not know those changes are desired.


These challenges are created because we love these guys. We love these guys together it is why it is the DCJ BB and challenges. Just remember though, your opinion matters to us. Let us know what you think. 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!

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!

So, just to confirm... the rough draft due this month doesn't have to be the complete story? Here I was thinking the whole story was due and freaking out about it.

That is correct. The entire fic is not required to be finished by Feb. 21st. It does however need to be finished before April 1st. Ideally at least 50% would be written. But if it is not we understand. If you are having issues please come to us and talk. We encourage that completely. We want to work with every bang participant in order to ensure that everything is moving along comfortably and no one is stressed over this. This is supposed to be fun. 

Remember communication is key!

rough drafts need to be close to 50 percent? so ideally i could hand in a 2500 word fic, while being signed up for the mini bang, and if it somehow ends up being 15000 words there won't be a problem? i have been unable to write anything for the past three or so months and have nothing written, and i don't want to drop out.

That is a good question. We do not want to see anyone drop out, believe us, our goal here was to get more D/C/J out into the world and make people more aware. However we also understand that it does happen. We won’t be upset if authors end up dropping. 

Now as far as the drafts go, it would be ideal to have about 50% done by the time Feb. 21st rolls around. We do need to know at that time what size bang you plan on having your story. For art claims the artists need to know. If you are unsure, pick one and let us know that it is a possibility that it will be larger or smaller. Like, Mini Bang (possibly upgraded to Big Bang), that way the artist is aware. 

Once your fic is claimed by an artist it is up to the two (or three if you are an author collaborating with another author) to communicate so that things are clear and efficient between all involved. Communication is key.

We understand that sometime people get into a funk when it comes to writing, we will never penalize you for that, however we do ask that you are sure that you will be able to continue with the bang before artist claims go up. We currently have a limited amount of artist, some who are willing to take on more than one fic, so if an author know they are unable to compete their fic and need to drop, we ask to give us a heads up before art claims. 

We do know that things come up unexpectedly as well, we will communicate with participants on a case by case basis as if and when they come up. 

So, tl;dr, yes, submit what you have, let us know what bang you are planning and if it is possible that it will become a different one. If you need to talk to further on this do not hesitate to message @formidablepassion or e-mail us to allow for a better means of communication. 

Remember communication is key.

I know it's not time for the authors first check in yet but I wanted to ask what is it that we need to do to check in?

Good question! When the first author check in comes around next week (Feb. 10-14, 2017!!) we will be posting a link to a google doc for all authors to check in with us. It will be your first opportunity to upgrade or downgrade (mini BB, big bang, mega bang) and a chance to tell us where you’re at with your fic. It will even have an option to let us know if you are dropping from the challenge (we know that things happen and we absolutely encourage you to do whatever you need to do for your life and will never be upset or hold it against you for dropping, we just ask that you let us know). 

We hope that this answered your questions and if you have any other please drop us an ask or email! Remember that communication is key!
