All 32 Reverse Bang art entries have been claimed and paired with a writer! Congratulations teams—we can't wait to see your works in May!
Stories will be all be available to be claimed again in a
second round of claims beginning at
Monday 17th February 12:00pm UTC (
what time is that for me?).
To those unfamiliar with the concept, second claims are when all the fics in the Reverse Bang are made available to be claimed
again by a second writer, resulting in teams of one artist and two writers. Unlike the first round of claims, however, second claims are
completely optional and not all stories are guaranteed to be claimed again.
We encourage all writers who missed the first round of claims to join in and participate in the second round! For the first part of second claims, only writers who have
not yet joined the Reverse Bang are allowed to claim a story.
Writers who have already claimed an entry in round one will be invited to claim a second artwork 2 hours later, on Monday 17th February 14:00 CET (
what time is that for me?). We ask that they do
not try to claim a second artwork before this, in order to make the process more equitable. We welcome writers signing up twice, but when considering whether to make a second claim or not, we ask that they consider their time carefully and accord their second artwork with the same amount of enthusiasm and respect as the first.
If you are a
new writer participant and the claim start time does not work for you, we encourage you to
find someone who will put in a claim for you by proxy. All your proxy has to do is comment on the claims post instead of you when the time comes, providing your username, email and claims as set out in the claims post. If you do not already know someone who can do this for you, you can email the mod team (cap.im.events@gmail.com) for assistance in finding a proxy.
Artists, if you didn't opt out of being double claimed already, and don't want your art entry to be claimed a second time, please email cap.im.events@gmail.com
now so that we can remove you from the list before claims open.
