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!

theydraggedmein asked:

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!

 Sorry in advance for the potentially stupid question. Should I have an *entire* rough draft completed by the 21st of February? 50%? 75%? What’s expected percentage wise in the schedule isn’t clear to me.

This question was submitted by an author when they signed up for the bang. We are sorry for not clarifying for you about the drafts, we will go fix that. 
Summaries are due on February 21, 2017 and  must include: rating, all Archive Warnings, major tags, and a description of the work. Any explicit/major side pairings should also be listed
We also include that drafts are to be sent to us at the email (dcjbigbag at gmail) as far as the completion of the fic.

Ideally the author would have as close to 50% of the rough draft finished by this point since final drafts are due on April 1, 2017.  However we recognize that all writers have their own way of writing a fic. If any of the authors are worried about their fic at this point, just talk to us. We are flexible and willing to work with everyone. This is supposed to be fun for everyone involved. 

If you don’t have 50% of your fic done by that point, submit your summary and draft anyway, as long as you are sure that you will have your final draft complete by April 1, 2017. 

Again, we are always willing to work with everyone. We can not stress enough the importance of communication here. If there is something that you are worried about, or have a question about and can’t find it already answered in the FAQ tag, ask us, on or off anon. We will always get back to you. 

Remember: As with every relationship, this one included, communication is key. Please do not hesitate to come to us, we will do our best to help you figure out the best solution to what ever issue there may be with the DCJ Big Bang.

FAQ Author Drafts dcj dcjbb dcjbigbang dean/cas/jimmy dean/cas/jimmy big bang deanjimstiel 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!
