2020 Cap-Iron Man Big Bang Second Claims will be open soon!

[cap_ironman_fe]

All 12 Big Bang stories have been claimed and paired with their artists! Congratulations teams—we can't wait to see your works in November!

View all the summaries and additional claims information here!

To those unfamiliar with the concept, second claims are when all the fics in the Big Bang are made available to be claimed again by a second artist, resulting in teams of one writer and two artists. 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 artists who missed the first round of claims to join in and participate in the second round! For the first part of second claims, only artists who have not yet joined the Big Bang are allowed to claim a story.

Artists who have already claimed a story in round one will be invited to claim a second story ONE HOUR after second claims begin. We ask that they do not try to claim a second story at this time, in order to make the process more equitable. We welcome artists signing up twice, but when considering whether to make a second claim or not, we ask that they accord their second story with the same amount of enthusiasm and respect as the first.

If you are a new artist 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 above in this 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.

Writers, you have been contacted for the opportunity to opt-out of being double claimed. If you don't want your story 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.
