Reverse Bang Date Claims are OPEN.
Remember that if no one on your team is available to claim a date, you can ask someone else to proxy-claim for you!

By claiming a posting date, you are committing to having your work complete and ready for posting by the date you have picked. If your team does not claim a date by 27th April, 18:00 EST, we'll assume your team can reasonably post on any date, and will assign your team to a date accordingly. If you have any special requests, please get in touch with cap.im.events@gmail.com as soon as possible so we can try to accommodate you (please note that we cannot guarantee anything, and will consider requests on a first-come, first-serve basis).
If all team members are unable to be present when posting date claims open and are concerned that you may miss out on your preferred dates, please ask a proxy to submit a claim on your behalf. Proxies simply need to enter your team CODENAME when they claim for you. If you are unable to find a proxy, please email the mods at cap.im.events@gmail.com and we will try to organise a proxy who will claim on your behalf.
We strongly encourage all participants to meet their posting deadline, and only ask for an extension as a final resort. If you believe you won't be able to finish your work by your posting date, please communicate your concerns with your partner(s) and the mods as soon as possible. You can find all extension information in our Posting Instructions post.
Incomplete works, failure to meet the deadline, or a complete lack of communication on and after your posting date will result in a ban. Bans are done individually and not as a team; participants who have completed their event work will not be held responsible for the actions of their partner(s). For further details on bans, read through the Defaulting and Participation Eligibility policies.
30 posting dates are available from May 1 to May 31. Your posting team is determined by the artist's CODENAME as given to you in the RBB matching email. Please note that there are two slots available for every date, so a maximum of two teams (with a possible 4 fics) will post per day.
Before choosing the posting dates you will list, please make sure it will work for everyone on the team. If you have multiple partners (if a work was double claimed), you are required to have all the works posted on the same date by midnight PST. This means that if an artist is working with two writers, they will both post their fics on the same day.
Posting date claims will be run via a Google Form on a first come, first-served basis. You will be emailed a link to the Claims Form, as well as a link to the live spreadsheet that will show the timestamps of when the posting date claims forms were received, for transparency.
Remember, only one person needs to claim on behalf of their team.
Please find the Posting Date Claims Form here. It will open on Saturday, 25th April, 18:00 EST (what time is this for me?) and close on 27th April, 18:00 EST.
On April 27th, teams will receive an email with their finalised posting date and additional information regarding their deadline.
Remember that if no one on your team is available to claim a date, you can ask someone else to proxy-claim for you!
