Hi! I was just wondering how much of the rough draft needs to be done by the 21st?

That is an excellent question! Since we have answered that already here we hope that you don’t mind that we are cutting and pasting that answer. 

As far as summaries go I suggest reading over this post here because it has wonderful information about how you should write your summary and what should be included in it to really grab the attention of an artist. These are things to start thinking about since art claims are right around the corner! (Feb. 26th!)

The following is our previous ask about this, we hope that this answers your question! Don’t forget to contact us any time you have a question, remember 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.

I think I need to ask yet another less than bright question: What does the "Author's first check in" Feb 10-14 entail? And how does it differ from the deadline on Feb 21?

First, apologies for the late response, we’ve been rather busy. We do try to answer these in a timely manner but it may not always end up that way when life happens. 

Next, there is no such thing as a “less than bright” question! Every question is important and this is a good one. 

The first check in for authors is simply to let us know where you are at (if you’ve even started, have an outline, already done, have a rough draft and waiting for a beta, etc.) and let us know if you have any questions or concerns. We do this a week before the draft submission as a way to see if there is anyone that intends to drop before draft and summary submissions and before art claims and we use this check in as a reminder as well. We know that some people get busy with life or forget things, or whatever else that may keep them from writing, so we like to give a reminder in a way of checking in to see where every one stands. 

The Feb 21st deadline is draft and summary submissions. This is the time that you will be submitting a copy of what you’ve got so far with an outline for the rest, along with as detailed a summary as possible, major tags (if it is explicit please be sure to tag top/bottom), ratings, archive warnings, and characters and side pairings that appear. We ask for as detailed a summary as possible because this is the summary that will be posted for artist claims and we want the artist to be well informed before making selections, no one likes surprises in the form of unexpected squicks. 

The 21st will also be your first opportunity to upgrade or downgrade your fic. If you signed up for a mini bang and found out that you’re actually going to be doing a Big Bang, now is the time to let us know, same if you signed for a mega bang and found out it will not quite meet those word count requirements, just tell us you need to downgrade.

We hope that this answered your questions. If you have any others please do not hesitate to contact us, remember, communication is key!
