Claims Information 2012

The art posts are now up under flock. You will have to login and join the community to view.

SPN Prompt Post #1 / SPN Prompt Post #2 / RPF Prompt Post / Either Prompt Post

Claims Begin:
A single claims post will open at 7 a.m. UTC on Saturday, September 22.

12 a.m. in San Francisco
3 a.m. in New York
4 a.m. in Sao Paulo
8 a.m. in London
9 a.m. in Paris
11 a.m. in Moscow
3 p.m. in Perth
4 p.m. in Tokyo
5 p.m. in Canberra

For other time zones, see this list.

When the Claims Post opens, authors will comment with their top 5 art choices using the form provided. Failure to use the form may cost you your top choice. Mods will reply and inform the author of which piece they get, and the piece will be struck out in the claims post.

In the first round of claims authors will only be allowed to claim one piece of art. Claims will be first come first serve, and the prompts will be crossed out as they are claimed. If there are unclaimed pieces at the end of two days, there may be a second round of claims, wherein authors may claim a second piece to write for.



A correctly completed form would appear like so:

LJ ID: spnreversemod
1st Choice 2000
2nd Choice 3000
3rd Choice 1000
4th Choice 2012
5th Choice 3001

No editing comments. In the event that you miss out on your top choices you must post a brand new comment to the post (not to a comment) with your new selection.

No claiming if you are not signed up as an author. It is your responsibility to make sure you are signed up as author. We will reject your claim if you are not signed up. If your LJ name has changed since you initially signed up, you need to tell us or your claim may be rejected.

We cannot guarantee that anyone will get their first, second, or even fifth choice. Some pieces may be very popular, and it is natural to feel some disappointment if you don't get to write for something that really inspires you. However, please bear in mind the feelings of artists who will be reading the comments to the Claims Post as well; making comments along the lines of "I don't want to write for any of this" or "there's nothing good left" will not make any of the artists feel very good. The staff ask for a little empathy on this matter. If you've ever participated as a writer in a Big Bang challenge, I'm sure you can understand the anxiety that comes from having your work chosen quickly or not quickly at all. Rude or inappropriate comments viewed by the mods may be frozen or screened.

Proxies:
If you are acting as a proxy for someone who cannot be online during claims, you need to state that you are a proxy and the username you are a proxy for. No one may act as a proxy for more than one person. If a proxy will also be making a claim for hirself, the two claims should be posted in separate LJ comments.

Multiple claims:
Two or more authors claiming the same piece to write a story for will not be allowed. Authors may only claim one piece of art per round of claims.

After a piece has been claimed:
Artists are free to contact their author as soon as they see that their piece has been claimed. We will be posting an Author/Artist Matchup Reveals post but that will take time for us to do so we strongly recommend that artists proactively contact their authors.

If you have any questions, please comment here, send an email to spnreversemod@gmail.com or send a PM to [livejournal.com profile] spnreversemod.

I've just had a look through all the art and wow! What fantastic quality and variety there is this year! I'm kind of wishing I hadn't chosen to do art myself so I could claim one or two of these pieces. Great ideas everyone - now I'm even more scared mine won't get claimed ha ha ha!

Fabulous job mods, to manage this quantity of submissions...

[identity profile] chef-geekier.livejournal.com 2012-09-20 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I know - I'm pleased with how mine turned out, but really intimidated by how much awesomeness is contained in four posts. Definitely signing up to pinch-hit when the time comes!

All the art looks amazing btw!

Just two questions:

On the warnings for the art - does my story have to have the same warnings or can I add some? Some pieces say 'none' and my stories usually have a bucket load of warnings - non con, underage, infidelity etc?

Also wife bashing - I love J2's wives but they're often the baddies in my AU stories. I've got nothing against them and don't dislike them 'cause they're married to Jensen and Jared; they just make good baddies/rivals. Like JDM and I love him but he's often a bad guy in my stories. Does that constitute as wife bashing 'cause I never thought of it as such?

Thanks.

So much good art. So pretty.

[identity profile] raths-kitten.livejournal.com 2012-09-20 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Fuck, that's early. Would it be okay if I just send you a list with 10 choices (in case my top #5 are all claimed) since I will post and then fall right back to bed? Or would that be unfair to others?

Now I need to rush home so I can actually view the art. :)

[identity profile] antrazi.livejournal.com 2012-09-20 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
So many great things and I have to reduce myself to 5 choices? And have to weigh them accordingly?
That will be hard work

[identity profile] yohkobennington.livejournal.com 2012-09-20 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Right? I chose five, but I lost a kidney in the process xD

[identity profile] homo-pink.livejournal.com 2012-09-20 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
One question regarding the form. If all 5 slots can’t be filled out, can it still be turned in with only one choice?

I understand if it goes to someone else, it goes to someone else and there won't be other choices to fall back on. All of the pieces are simply stunning, every one of them, but due to pairings or preferences or just general lack of knowledge pertaining to a certain subject...

Is having only one choice allowed?

OH MY GOD I HAVE TO GO SQUEE SOMEWHERE NOW AND YOU'RE THE VICTIMS there is soo sooo soooooooooo much gorgeous and fabulous artwork for everyone to go around, I can't even begin to appreciate it all.

One peripheral question of minor importance though... why is only one of the vids tagged NSFW when the other two actually show nudity and that one doesn't? *scratches head*

One question about claiming... Will there be a new post for that? If not, and all three open for commenting, does it matter which we claim on? Because I have prompts from three different posts on my shortlist. /confuzzled

Wow, that is a scary amount of amazing artwork 0_o I managed to cut my choices back down to 5 (I think I want to write for at least 35 of them :P) and set my alarm for Saturday 9am. Realize what a sacrifice this is! ;) Thank you, mods, you do such an amazing job every year and this is no exception <3

With all this amazing artwork, I'm anxious to see if anyone chooses mine. This is the first time I've taken part in this BB. \o/

[identity profile] sophiap.livejournal.com 2012-09-21 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Same here! I participated as a writer this year, and the anxiety of "will anyone pick me?" is noticeably worse than "will I get one of the pics I wanted?"

(P.S. Your icon is adorable!)

Wow. So much pretty art, and I have to have only 5 choices... so glad i have a few days to narrow down my choices

[identity profile] sasha-dragon.livejournal.com 2012-09-20 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Roll on Saturday! What an amazing collection of art! How am I supposed to pick just five? more importantly I feel I should be apologizing to my future artist now, in case they get stuck with me!

Once again many thanks to both the mods of this comm for all their hard work and all the talented artists who have given us such wonderful images to work with.

[identity profile] holy-wings.livejournal.com 2012-09-20 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow! With all of these wonderful pieces i really wonder who will actually want to get stuck with my drawing (never done any kind of art challenge before)

[identity profile] tiggeratl1.livejournal.com 2012-09-21 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
I know how you feel! The waiting is the worst, but I did the rbb last year and there was more arts to be claimed and claiming was finished within 23 hours, So here's hoping this years claiming goes as fast! I love reverse bangs though, because they let us artists understand better how authors feel during bb claiming There are soooo many talented artists in this fandom, but I just try to remember that the talented authors far outnumber us. ;)

Wow, so many great pieces to choose from, how in the world do we pick? Really looking forward to writing for one of them, and reading all the other fic that comes out of this challenge. Thanks mods (and artists!).

I just felt the need to say two things.

1) The artwork is amazing and I can't wait to see what I get lucky enough to write for.

2) I have lost my day to this. I just keep looking at the magnificent art. I had a top 15... 15 because every single one of them was not only amazing art, but really spoke to me with a story for me to tell... *sigh* guess I'll be up late tonight making up for it. Or... you know... reordering my list yet again.... :P

1. Yes!

2. Ha! I only realized this deadline was looming a few hours ago and have been poring over the amazing choices ever since. Friday, gone. I've created spreadsheets and everything (because I'm the nerdiest of nerds).

I'll be out mostly all day, and I've arranged to meet friends exactly at the time claims open in my time-zone... At the very least I know I won't be glued to my computer all day biting my nails and wondering who's gonna chose my drawing ! (...maybe all the night though)

[identity profile] gassadaa.livejournal.com 2012-09-21 10:56 am (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] stella-lost.livejournal.com 2012-09-21 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure your piece is fabulous, just as they all are! If it makes you feel any better, my short list is still at 18 works of art. I just can't narrow it down (though I know I have to). It's going to be a long, hard afternoon to get through.

Bah, why is it not Saturday yet? The waiting is seriously killing me - worse even than waiting to see if my BB story got chosen by anyone. I think it's because there's one I really really want. It was obviously on my mind last night to the point where I had a dream where I'd woken up late and missed claiming and the prompt I really wanted had gone :( I can't tell you how happy I was when I realised it was only a dream!

Damn, these Big Bangs are stressful!!

Hi, this is my first time writing for reversebang, And I'm really excited. The artwork is absolutely amazing, and the story ideas just started my mind swirling with ideas. My question is regarding additional artwork for stories. If during my writing of the story I invasion additional pictures, art, or images can I add them myself, or do I need to give the ideas to the original artist, and hope they will supply them back to me? Thanks for your reply in advance, and also thanks for sponsoring such a cool writing event.

Wow, so much pretty! There is no way I'm getting up in the wee hours of the morning, alas. But two years ago I joined into rbb during the claims process & took something in the second round, and I was delighted by how it all worked out. :) So here's to trusting things will work out as they are meant to.

[identity profile] minchout.livejournal.com 2012-09-22 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Quick question - if I post two comments, one with a second list just in case my top five choices are taken, should I post the second comment as choices 6-10 or should I just leave the form how it is?

I'm so excited!
