dcu_bang(Claiming will open on Monday, October 1st at 12PM (Noon) MDT. Just as with story claiming for artists, the DreamWidth post is the only one that will be unlocked for comments; the LiveJournal post will be updated with claims for reference only, but it will not be unlocked for comments to avoid confusion.)
Hey everyone! This is it, the DCU Bang 2018 is nearing the end! You have all been doing so awesome and I'm really excited to see what everyone has been writing and creating!
This is the post that will be used for the mandatory check-in and claiming a posting date for this year's DCU Bang. Posting will run from Monday, October 15th until Sunday, November 18th. Each day will have three slots. For those that have been doing the DCU Bang for a few years, this is an additional slot from previous years! Some days might have three stories and/or art, and other days may not have any at all, and this is okay. Don't worry about trying to fill out the posting schedule completely, just pick the days that are going to work best for you and your group!
This check-in is mandatory. Claiming a posting date here counts as the final check-in for you and your entire creative group! =D Please check with all co-authors and/or artists you are working with that the date you choose to post works for all of you! If you have lost contact with your author or artist, please let me know ASAP and I will give them a nudge and we can go from there! It's better to let me know sooner rather than later, so I can arrange a pinch hit artist more quickly.
And remember to check out the Posting Guidelines!
Tandem and Solo Participants:
Tandem and Solo author participants must send in a summary of your story before claiming a posting date, or include it in your date claiming comment! (Submitting a summary is to make sure you're ready to post, or almost ready to post.) A summary doesn't need to be anything more than 3-5 sentences of what your fic is about, and nor does this need to be your final summary for when you post.
Summary Example: While in search of a missing Batman, Clark lets his closeness and feelings for Bruce get himself caught. Now both Superman and Batman are in the clutches of Hell Mistress Tala, and she's intent on causing as much chaos as she possibly can, and what better way than invading the minds of the two most powerful members of the Justice League? She is well on her way to chaos, but no plan can ever go smoothly; Batman has lost his memories due to her efforts, and invading Superman's mind is not as easy as she had thought. But, how long can Superman hold out before she fully invades his mind, and just what sort of information and truths will she uncover while in there?
If you attempt to claim a date before sending me this summary, your claim will not be honoured. You can send me this summary anytime between now and before you claim your date, or you can include your summary with your date claim! Summaries can be submitted to me via email (dcubang@gmail.com), PM here, or a DM on Discord.
Amnesty Period:
If you accidentally miss your posting date, this is okay! Sometimes things slip our minds or life just happens. Every Sunday, I will be sending out a reminder to anyone that missed their posting date and give them the opportunity to post on that Sunday, or any day between Monday, November 19th and Friday, November 30th. That will be this year's amnesty period. Any story/art posted by the end of November (in your own timezone) will be counted as posted and there will be no consequences at all, even if you missed your assigned date!
Dates I'll Be Away:
I just want to let everyone know that I will be away a few times in October and so responses might be slow, but I will do my best to get back to you ASAP if you need me during these times!
October 2-6: I'll be travelling and not have the greatest cell service, especially on October 2nd and October 6th. The other days, I will have some internet, but I won't have cell service at all. (I tend to answer emails or DMs on my phone a lot, so there will most likely be delays as I won’t be able to do that during these days.)
October 18-21: I'll be at a convention Thursday, October 18th through Sunday, October 21st, and so the posting reminder emails will go out on Monday, October 22nd, which I have taken off from work to have a vacation from my vacation. xD While at the convention, I will be checking everything at least a few times a day, most likely at night, so if you need me, send a message and I'll try to get back to you ASAP!
I will be doing my best to keep in touch during these times, and I will try to get back to people within 72 hours. If 4 or 5 days have passed, go ahead and send another message to me, because it is entirely possible I missed something! You're not bothering me at all, I promise. =D
If I'm not online on the DCU Bang Discord, don't hesitate to send me a message anyway and I'll get back to you as soon as I can! And of course, you can use the Page-A-Mod Post, or send me an email at dcubang@gmail.com!
How to Claim A Date:
Only one member from your author/artist group needs to select a date. Please don't have all members comment with the same story/dates, it'll be very confusing for everyone involved! Discuss with your group (unless you are working Solo, of course) and decide on dates together and who will be claiming your posting dates. Date claiming can be done on this post or through email, as long as the following information is included! (Just as with story claiming, I will check the timestamps on comments and emails to keep things fair, as this is first come, first served.)
When you comment, please list three dates that you, and/or your group, would be able to post and include the following information. If any of the following information is not included, you will be asked to repost your comment with the missing info added in, and your dates will not be held for you!
Example:
Dates: October 31, November 2, November 8 (List three dates in the order of most preferred to least preferred!)
Author(s): LuciferxDamien (If you have co-author(s), make sure to list all of them!)
All Fanworkers: 2bnallegory (If you are working with one or more fanworker/artist, please list them all here. If you are Solo, you can put N/A or Solo here.)
Title of Fic: The Smoke in Your Eyes (Title)
Summary:
While in search of a missing Batman, Clark lets his closeness and feelings for Bruce get himself caught. Now both Superman and Batman are in the clutches of Hell Mistress Tala, and she's intent on causing as much chaos as she possibly can, and what better way than invading the minds of the two most powerful members of the Justice League? She is well on her way to chaos, but no plan can ever go smoothly; Batman has lost his memories due to her efforts, and invading Superman's mind is not as easy as she had thought. But, how long can Superman hold out before she fully invades his mind, and just what sort of information and truths will she uncover while in there?
(This is primarily for Solo and Tandem participants that have not yet submitted a summary to me, but feel free to include a summary, if you want!)
Here's the form with HTML if you want to use that! If you signed up for two stories, please use the form twice. I need this information for all author/artist groups and stories. (The HTML is not necessary, just so long as all the information I need is included.)
As stated in the Posting Guidelines, all stories must be posted in their entirety on your posting date. Multiple chapters are fine; if you have a 16 chapter fic and your posting date is October 26th, all 16 chapters must be posted on October 26th.
I will be doing my best to keep the list updated, but as I am going out of town on Tuesday, October 2nd, there will most likely be delays. I really appreciate your understanding if things are slow to be updated! It’s a good idea to take a look through the comments and see if a day has been filled up. You can always go back and edit or add to your comment if need be!
