Reverse Bang Date Claims are live!!

[cap_ironman_fe]

You can sign up here.

Claims can be chosen via Doodle (a scheduling poll website) on a first-come-first-served basis. Each date is available for two posting teams, based on the Artist’s Team Name (remember to only choose one date for each team, even if there are two authors!). The dates available will be April 30th - May 31st. When you claim, enter your team name (example: Team Valor), then choose your preferred date. (Doodle will sometimes hide some of the dates so make sure you click the “show all 32 options” button if you can only see the first few days.)

IMPORTANT: Your posting team is determined by the Artist’s Team Name. This means that if an Artist is working with multiple Authors, both Authors will post on the same day. If two teams consisting of an Artist and two Authors each claim the same posting date, four fics will post on that day. Artists, be sure to communicate clearly with all of your teammates. Any team member can claim a date for posting, but each team will only be allowed to claim once. Please let us know if you have any questions (comment here, ask on tumblr, or email us at cap.im.events@gmail.com).

IF YOU NEED AN EXTENSION: If you are unable to claim a posting date that works for your schedule, or if you know that you will need some extra time to finish your work for the challenge, please let us know ASAP so that we can discuss extension possibilities. For a creator to receive an extension we will need to receive a draft of the work and an estimate about how much remains to be finished. If a team consists of an artist and two authors and only one author needs an extension, that author can get an individual extension. If an artist needs an extension, we would ask that authors wait until that extension date to post. Extensions will be available throughout May and into June. All works completed and posted before June 15th will be included in the official round-up post. If a creator fails to post a finished work by June 15th their new deadline will become the Big Bang Draft Submission date. If they do not complete their work by that date they will not be eligible to participate in the Big Bang, or future collaboration-based Cap-Iron Man challenges, until either the work (or equivalent gift-work) is completed or a full calendar year has passed.

We’re looking forward to seeing the results of all your hard work these last few months!

Reverse Bang 2016 Posting Instructions

[cap_ironman_fe]

Posting begins on Saturday, April 30th. Exciting!

Your art or fic should be finished and ready to post by your chosen posting date. Remember that if you're in a team with two writers, you should both post with your artist on the same day. If you haven't claimed a date yet, you can do it here.

Each participating author and artist will upload their own fic/artwork individually. Authors, please remember to link the art that inspired you, artists - please include the link to the fic (or fics, if you worked with two writers) written for you in your artpost.

The fics should be posted on AO3 or LJ/DW in an unlocked post (do not use tumblr as your primary fic hosting site).

Art should be posted on a site allowing anyone to view it without registration (tumblr, unlocked LJ/DW posts, AO3, deviantART). If you post on tumblr, please include the direct link to the image as well so that it's accessible even if you change your username. You can get the direct link by right-clicking on the image and choosing the "copy image location" option in Firefox or "copy image address" in Google Chrome. Also, if you're an artist, please prepare your art's thumbnail (to include in the masterpost). Please also keep the thumbnails safe for work.

If you're posting to AO3, there is a Captain America/Iron Man Reverse Bang 2016 collection open. You can add your RBB work there (either by choosing "Post to Collection" from the collection page or by putting "cap_ironman_2016_RBB" in the "Post to Collections/Challenges" field if you post normally).

If you need an AO3 account, you can request an invitation here. If you cannot get it in time before your posting date, please let the mods know and we'll try to help.

On your chosen posting day, after everyone has posted their respective works, only one member from your team should make a masterpost to the main Cap-Iron Man comm using the following forms.

If your team consists of an artist and one writer, use this form:

<strong>Title:</strong> <strong>Artist:</strong> <strong>Author:</strong> <strong>Rating (both art/fic):</strong> <strong>Universe:</strong> <strong>Word Count:</strong> <strong>Warnings:</strong> <img src="ART_THUMBNAIL_URL_GOES_HERE" /> <strong>Fic Summary:</strong> <a href="ART_URL_GOES_HERE">Link to art page</a> <a href="ART_URL2_GOES_HERE">Direct link to art file</a> (required for art hosted on tumblr) <a href="FIC_URL_GOES_HERE">Link to fic page</a>

Or, if you're in a team with two writers working with one artist, please use the following form:

<strong>Artist:</strong> <strong>Art rating:</strong> <img src="ART_THUMBNAIL_URL_GOES_HERE" /> <a href="ART_URL_GOES_HERE">Link to art page</a> <a href="ART_URL2_GOES_HERE">Direct link to art file</a> (required for art hosted on tumblr) <strong>First fic</strong> <strong>Author:</strong> <strong>Title:</strong> <strong>Rating:</strong> <strong>Universe:</strong> <strong>Word Count:</strong> <strong>Warnings:</strong> <strong>Fic Summary:</strong> <a href="FIC_URL_GOES_HERE">Link to the first fic</a> <strong>Second fic</strong> <strong>Author:</strong> <strong>Title:</strong> <strong>Rating:</strong> <strong>Universe:</strong> <strong>Word Count:</strong><u></u> <strong>Warnings:</strong> <strong>Fic Summary:</strong> <a href="FIC_URL_GOES_HERE">Link to the second fic</a>

Please tag your masterposts appropriately in the main comm: challenge: reverse bang, x: artist's name, x: author's name (optionally x: second author's name) and any applicable genre/universe/rating tags. If any creator doesn't have their own tag, please let us now and we'll fix it.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know in the comments on this post or at cap.im.events@gmail.com!
