Cap-Iron Man Big Bang Claims are now CLOSED.

This is the CLAIMS phase of the Big Bang, and where the artists come in! An amazing TWENTY-FIVE drafts have been submitted and are now awaiting artists to claim them for a second time. By claiming a story, you assert that you will collaborate with your author(s) to produce custom artwork to accompany their story when posting begins in November. There is no penalty-free dropping out after this point. You do not need to be a member of the cap_ironman community or have a Dreamwidth account to make your claim. Anonymous comments on this post are enabled.

Your schedule:

• October 1st at 1:00 UTC: Summaries open for new artists (participants who have not claimed in Round 1) to claim
• October 2nd at 1:00 UTC: All artists (including those who have claimed a work in Round 1) are invited to claim a second work.
• October 3rd at 1:00 UTC: Claims are closed for ALL artists
• October: Artists art, writers put finishing touches on their fics
• October 28th: Artist and author teams pick posting date in November
• November: Fics and art begin posting

A recap on some of the main rules:

• Please remember to read through our General Event Policies and the Big Bang Event Guidelines for all participants, as well as the Artists’ Guidelines for this year’s challenge before going on to claim any fics.


• Acceptable art includes traditional and digital art. Other visual mediums—such as edits, manipulations, fanvids or works that rely on or are derivative of existing material—are not eligible for this Big Bang.


• You are required to make, at minimum, one piece of accompanying fanwork for each fic you claim, and are expected to treat your fics equally. The artwork(s) must be new and made solely for the story in question.


• This is a collaborative challenge; you are expected to keep in touch with your entire team for the duration of the challenge. You must coordinate with your partner(s) during the posting period.


• All participants must be 18 or older.

To claim a summary, you will need to leave a comment with the following information (just copy and paste in your own details):


<b>Username(s) including site name:</b> [This is how we, and your partner, will address you; please use one of your primary pseuds such as Tumblr, DeviantArt or AO3 username.] <br/> <b>Email:</b> [This is the address we will use to contact you and which your team partner will be given, so please make sure it is one which you check frequently, and that you are happy to give it to us.]<br/> <b>Choice 1:</b> [FIC CODENAME, for example BRAVO.]<br/> <b>Choice X:</b> [Your lowest ranked choice. Please make sure you only put down fics that you are happy to produce art for as your options, choose as few or many as you like.]

Two or three options are recommended as we cannot guarantee that you will get your first choice. However, you may include more if you wish or even list just one choice if there is only one summary you are interested in. Remember that you are signing up for a collaborative event—please do not list summaries that you would not be genuinely happy to work with.

Claims will be made on a first-come, first-served basis and you will be assigned the first option that is still available in your list.

When matching is complete, we will send out emails to connect artists with their authors, along with further instructions. This might take a while, as making a mistake at this crucial stage is something everyone would like to avoid; please don’t panic if you don’t receive an email immediately.

NOTE: After you receive the email, PLEASE RESPOND DIRECTLY CONFIRMING you have received the information. Please wait until you have replied to this email before contacting your partner. After confirming the assignment email has been received, it is the artists’ and writers’ responsibilities to open communications with team members and keep in touch for the duration of the collaboration.

A word about warnings: Many of these stories include strong language, substance abuse, sexual situations, violence, etc. We limited warnings here to the big stuff. If you have a specific concern and would like the mods to vet a story draft before you make your choices, please let us know at cap.im.events@gmail.com.

Please send any questions or things to cap.im.events@gmail.com, especially if you would like to opt out of second claims.
