2020 Reverse Bang: Guidelines for Writers

[cap_ironman_fe]

Guidelines for Writers

• Remember to read through our General Event Policies and Guidelines for All Participants, as well as the writers' guidelines outlined below.


• You will be writing a companion fic to accompany your assigned artist's artwork(s), and this fic must be newly created. Your fic must be a self-contained story written specifically and exclusively for the Reverse Bang based on or inspired by the artwork that you claim.


• You can sign up alone or as part of an author team (the minimum word count remains the same).


• Completed Reverse Bang stories must be a minimum of 5,000 words. There is no upper word limit, but fic can’t be a work-in-progress at the time of posting.


• By claiming an artwork you are commiting to finishing by your posting date.

Claiming Process

To participate in the 2020 Cap-Iron Man Reverse Bang as a writer, all you need to do is claim an artwork on Saturday, February 15th. There is no prior sign-up available or required.

If you would like to write a fic in a language other than English, you must claim artwork where the artist has stated that they are happy to receive an accompanying fic in that language.

• Claims will be done on a first-come, first-serve basis.


• In case you can't make a claim personally on Saturday, February 15th, you are allowed to ask someone to make a claim on your behalf (a proxy claim). There is no need to have an Dreamwidth or OpenID account to make a claim or proxy claim for someone, as anonymous commenting will be enabled.


• Artworks are posted anonymously. You must claim artwork based solely on the submission and details provided.


• Instructions on how to claim artwork will go up with the preview of art entries on February 13th.


• Because this is a collaborative event, there is no penalty free dropping out once you've claimed a work. Dropping out once you've been partnered up will be considered defaulting on the challenge and will result in a ban.

To see information on the new way that posting date claims will run, please check this post.

Creation Period and Posting

Once you have claimed a piece of art and you've been teamed up with your artist, all that's left is to write your RBB fic! Please remember to keep in touch with your partner(s) and keep track of time as you write. The posting period begins in May, and mods will be in touch before then with instructions on how to claim a posting date and post your work.
