Early Bird Announcement and Claims Day Change!

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

Ladies and gentlemen this is your final warning for the Early Bird submission. In twelve-ish hours, the deadline for those wishing to submit two THREE pieces of art for the 2014 spn_reversebang will be closed.


Wait, what? THREE? Yep, you read us right. If you have managed to get an Early Bird submission in to us already, or will have one in by the tail end of Oct. 20th (anywhere in the world), you may now be qualified to submit up to three (3) pieces to the RBB, if you so wish! If you didn't turn in an Early Bird submission, this means you can now turn in up to two (2) pieces of art by the final deadline of Oct. 27. We have had an overwhelming number of authors sign up (huzzah!), but of course that means that we could use a bump in art submissions. The ratio is roughly 2:1, in favor of the authors.

Some authors will get shut out, this is the sad truth, but we encourage those who unfortunately wind up artless to sign up as a pinch hitter over at spnrbb_pinchhit, and keep an eye on that comm for opportunities to claim any art that has lost its original writer.

ALSO! Date change announcement! Due to unplanned, real world events on the part of the mods, we will be pushing Claims Day back ONE DAY, to Sunday, November 2! Additionally, we have determined that Claims will open at 10 am, EST. To figure out what this means for your time zone, please consult a Time Zone Converter, like this one. And remember, for many folks Daylight Savings will have occurred the night of Nov. 1. Plan accordingly.

If you have any questions, please ask!

Stay calm, carry on, have fun, and know that we're cheering you all on from our laptops!

EDIT: As some clever people immediately noticed, the final art submission deadline is of course OCTOBER 27, not November. Sorry for the confusion!

You mean Oct 27th, right? : ) x

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! Thanks for the catch, we were in a bit of a hurry to put this up before the actual early bird deadline, lol.

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

: ) I was all excited about doing three for a second! Probably stick to just two in that case. Hope you got my first one already! : ) x

wait, november 27?  It's a mistake, right?

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

That is indeed a mistake, the deadline is of course October 27. You'd think four different people looking it over would have caught that, but alas. Thanks for the catch!

Oh, that's great! I have two prompts ready (you should have recieved my early bird by now) and I'm gonna try and have a third one ready because I'd hate to leave people artless :)

Ohmygod, so I still can draw two more pics???? Hallelujah :D I wasn't sure and was torn between drawing this or that, but now I can draw both :D YOU'RE AWESOME.

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

*preens!* Can't wait to see what you cook up!

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

I read it as ... what you cock up...

:)

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

Weeellllll, if you insist.......

[patriciatepes.livejournal.com]

Wait, let me see if I understand this... I can't make the early bird sub today--sorry, RL stuff--but can I still sub 2 pieces of art on the 27th?

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's the new and improved modly declaration!

[uke-sama-sensei.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm just wondering if we'll receive confirmation emails if our submissions have gone through? :)

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

Indeed there will be! I just sent you one.

11pm on a Sunday is a good time for me (as an author), so thanks heaps. I remember how crazy insane claims were last year but I'm so excited for it to be happening again.

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

Excellent!

Hi

I've just submitted two pieces of art for the early bird prompts and I've only just seen this announcement, damn time differences!

Am I eligible to submit a third piece of art (I could have it done by today!) or have I missed the deadline? *crosses fingers and toes*

thanks

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

You're eligible, fear not! :D

I read the this and somehow ended up with the understanding that you wanted more artists to sign up... which, on reflection, you don't seem to be actually saying. So... given the unequal numbers, if some additional artists felt they could meet the deadlines, could they possibly still sign up?

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

Though the deadline for artists has technically come and gone, if someone still wanted to sign up and could make the submission deadline dates, we'll gleefully make an exception! We want as much art for our writers as we can get, short of making life totally insane for us mods.

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

I'm curious for the pinchhitters - if you're already doing art, can you still write in that area? If not, no trouble--just checking!

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

Yes, you can! Theoretically, your art should already be well under way...

Glad you asked!
