Anonymous asked:

Should I assume if I haven't gotten an email yet that I haven't been selected to beta?

Apologies Anon, we have been busy and have not been able to get the e-mail confirmations out to betas. They will be sent out in the next 24 hours. 

As far as being selected to beta goes, that is up to the authors. We will be sending the authors a link to the list of everyone who has signed up to beta so that if they choose to they can take a look at everyone and their squicks/triggers/preferences to find a beta that would be a good fit for their story. 

If you signed up as a beta you can rest assured that you are on the list and may be contacted. We are not pairing beta’s and authors in case there is something in the story that we are unaware of that would not go over well with the beta. 

Thank you for your ask, your patience, and your understanding.

Beta’s

Those of you who have signed up as a beta for the DCJ Big Bang will be receiving an e-mail today or tomorrow confirming that you are signed up as a beta. Please keep an eye out for it!

Authors: If you are in need of a beta and wish to have one that has signed up specifically for this bang we will be sending out an e-mail with a link to our list of beta’s so that you can take a look and find someone that is compatible with your story and contact them.
We were going to post a link for ease of access but feel it is better to keep it private in the case that one or more beta’s would not like their e-mail address shared publicly.

Attention Authors!

dcjbigbang

As with every bang, especially the first time around, there tends to be some kinks to work out and issues arise that need solving. In the grand scheme of things this one is not that bad. 

As we were going through to send out confirmation emails to the authors it was discovered that the “collect email” option had been turned off of the form. Meaning that unless you provided your email without prompt or signed up as a beta or artist as well, we do not have it. 

So we have sent out emails to those that we could and @formidablepassion will be going through with messages here on tumblr to the other 22 authors that still need to be contacted. If you happen to see this message and have not received an email or a message from us please drop a quick message into the ask box here or our email (dcjbigbang at gmail) with the email address to contact you. Please be sure to do it off anon and specify which tumblr name you’re signed up with. 

We are terribly sorry for the inconvenience where this is concerned. With your help we should be able to get all the confirmation emails out today and tomorrow.

Alright! We have sent out all but 8 confirmation emails. Thank you everyone. 
As soon as I hear back from the final eight authors with their emails we will get those sent out. 

Some folks have informed us that they sent their email address to the link above for the ask box. For some reason that link isn’t getting things to us. So just please respond to the message from @formidablepassion so we can get the emails sent out to you. 

Thank you so much for your understanding and we look forward to what you create!

I'm gonna ask you a question that stems from the fact that I've never participated in a Bang before, and English isn't my first language: Is it the artist that choose a fic to 'art' (I'd have written 'draw', but then I realized art wasn't limited to that, it's not meant as disrespectful towards the artists) for or is it the author who choose an artist?

Your first bang! Congratulations. We are honored that your first one is with us and the Dean/Cas/Jimmy ship. 

As far as the artist claims go. The authors will submit there info to us on February 21, 2017 (does not have to be a complete draft for more info please see the schedule), and once we have received them all we will make a post that is available to the artists. 
They have a day to look them over and decided which story they would like to create art for. The next day the artists are the ones who submit a form to us to let us know their top five choices. Once fics have been claimed we will inform the author and artist who they are paired with and they can contact one another and go from there!

We have the artist pic the story (without knowing the author) so that they will be able to pick a story that won’t have any squicks or triggers for them. That is the reason that we ask the authors to provide as much information as possible when submitting summaries for artist claims. 

We hope that this answers your question. If you need any further clarification don’t hesitate to ask! Communication is key!

Anonymous asked:

Hey guys! At what stage of the process are you going to want a title for our fics?

Hey Anon! 

As far as titles go, that is up to you, we don’t necessarily need a title at all until your final draft is submitted. If you provide a title to us when you submit your summaries for artist claims it will be posted with the summary. All summaries, if they have a title or not, will be numbered for easy artist claims, both for the artists and the mods here at dcjbb. 

Thank you for the ask, if you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us anytime!

I just wanted to address the concern about not having enough artists. While the idea of getting art to go with my work is great, I honestly sign up for things like this to give myself a deadline as much as for the art. It makes it more likely I'm going to finish a story, if I have a schedule.

That is fantastic! We know that there are a lot of authors that do this same thing. When you sign up for something with a deadline you feel the desire and drive to finish it on time. It can be a great motivator. 

It is also so fun with these bangs to have art to accompany a story, to see what the author has created and then to see what the artist has created in response to the words. So we will be keeping the artist sign ups open in hopes that we get some more on board. If not we do have a few who are willing to do art for more than one story. 

We hope that you are enjoying the DCJ Big Bang so far and really look forward to the story that you are creating.

theydraggedmein asked:

Right, stupid question time: Are you guys going to set up those who sign up as authors with betas/artist?

No stupid questions! Promise. 

As far as betas go the authors are free to find a beta for their work however they wish. We won’t assign betas to authors. 
If they need help finding a beta they will have access to the list with all the beta’s that have signed up and they can contact them directly and work it out with them. 
We do this so that authors and betas will be better matched. Even if given a summary of their fic with tags, the author is the only one that truly knows what is going on in the story, we don’t want to assign betas only to find out that the author put in a squick or trigger the beta may have forgot to mention. 
By taking it into their own hands the authors and betas have a better chance of finding a more suitable match for their story and we avoid the possibility of a beta regretting signing up or even dropping out. 
We truly do not want that to happen because we want this to be fun and enjoyable for every participant involved.

We hope tat this answers your question. If not please let us know and we will be happy to clarify further.
