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.

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.

Anonymous asked:

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.

FAQ bcjbb bcjbigbang author artist beta clarification Anonymous

Anonymous asked:

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.

Anonymous asked:

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!

onthebanksoftheriverstupid asked:

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.

Oooookay which timezone are we following for the sign ups??? (I feel so stupid asking so many questions. Damn.)

Do not feel stupid about any questions you have we are happy to answer them. This is an important question and an oversight on our part and we will update the info. 

Since the mods here are all in America we will be working on eastern standard time. For those not in the states here is a  time zone converter to help.

evenifidie asked:

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.
