dcu_bangHello everyone! This is the second author check-in for DCU Bang 2019! This check-in is mandatory for authors. Missing two check-ins in a row will cause you to be dropped from DCU Bang 2019 automatically, so make sure to fill out the Google Form, it should only take a minute or two of your time.
This check-in is for author’s only, so artists, sit tight! The survey is to track story progress, but don’t stress out! Even if you haven’t started yet, please still fill the survey out. This really helps me further on, when story claiming begins, just so I have an idea of where everyone is at and what to expect!
The most important thing when filling out the survey is make sure you use the same email as was used in your sign-up, so that I can check you off! If you do not remember which email you used to sign-up, a copy of the Google Survey should have been sent to you when you signed up. If you still cannot find it, please contact me and I will check on my end!
Check-In #2 Survey
Story Claiming and Rough Drafts:
Rough drafts will be accepted between Saturday, June 22nd and Wednesday, June 26th. The minimum word counts that will be accepted are 3k for the Mini-bang and 6k for the Big Bang. For more information on what will be expected for the rough drafts, here is the 1st check-in post that has all that info.
There is a change in how stories will be claimed by artists this year. In past years, artists would claim stories on an LJ or DW post and everything would be visible for authors and artists. This year. I am going to use a Google Form for artists to fill out with their story claim choices, and only the mods will be able to see the claim choices.
I am hoping this helps with the anxiety authors usually feel watching stories get snatched up by artists. This will also allow artists to bid on the stories they want, rather than needing to sift through comments to see if their choices are already taken. Using a Google Form also keeps things much more organized for the mods, too!
Results with current claims will be posted after 6 hours, or after all of the stories are claimed, whichever comes first. If there are still stories needing to be claimed after 6 hours, an announcement with currently claimed stories will go out, along with whatever stories still need to be claimed. When all stories have been claimed, second artist claims will open, on Sunday, June 30th, 3PM MDT at the earliest!
It is very important to only claim stories you would absolutely be happy with creating artwork for! I will always do my absolute best to match artists with their first choices, but this may not be possible, especially since artists will not be able to check if their choices have already been claimed. Artists will need to select at least 3 stories, and up to 5 on the form, before it can be submitted.
Here are the links to the Schedule, Rules, and FAQs, in case anyone needs a refresher!

And of course, artist sign-ups are still open until July 5th!
If you have any questions or concerns, here is the Page-A-Mod Post. You can also contact the mods at dcubang@gmail.com, sending a PM toluciferxdamien, or by messaging LuciferxDamien on the DCU Bang Discord server.
Twitter and Tumblr are NOT the quickest way to get in touch with the mods, as those accounts are not checked as frequently. If your matter is urgent, Discord or email are the quickest way to receive a response!
Please feel free to use this post to talk about your projects, if you wish! I hope everyone is as excited as I am to see what we create! <3
