2020 DCU Bang Sign-Ups Open!
Hello everyone! Sign ups are now open! Please make sure you have read the DCU Bang Guidelines and FAQs before signing up!
Please provide an email address that you check frequently as all check-ins and important announcements will be emailed. We also need a good email address for author/fanworker match-ups!
After signing up, you will receive an automated email from Google with a copy of your sign up within 24 hours. If you do not receive this email, please let us know! Mods will be sending out a different sign-up confirmation email within 72 hours of signing up, to confirm that we got your sign up. If you do not receive an email from us after 72 hours, please get in contact with us, as we do need a working email!
We will do our best to keep the Discord server aware of any times that we might be away and responses slow, so it’s a good idea to join! It’s also a good idea to join and friend this community - all check-ins, reminders, and announcements will come through here, so you'll have to watch us to stay informed!
General Information
Please make sure you have read the DCU Bang Guidelines and FAQs before signing up!
If you are working in tandem with a fanworker/author, list their username(s) and email address(es). Please do not sign up until you have this information. Please have only one person from your group do the sign up and provide all the necessary information, usernames and email.
The fandom and character/relationship sections aren’t necessary, it’s just to help us mods figure out what’s popular with participants! It’s also helpful for us to gauge where we might need to look for additional fanworkers, so fill them out if you can. If you’re not sure what fandom or characters/relationships you’ll be working with yet, that’s okay to, just try to list some potential ones you might be working with!
Full path explanations can be found here!
Solo Author/Fanworker:
Choose this path if you do not wish to work with a fanworker or author. You can change this, if you decide to work with a fanworker or author later on!
Traditional Author/Fanworker:
Authors, choose this track if you want to have your story claimed during the claiming period. Rough drafts are due June 22-26. 60% of your story should be finished, and the last 40% at least plotted out before submitting your story for claims.
Fanworkers, choose this track if you want to claim a story during the claiming period, June 29th.
Tandem Author/Fanworker Team:
Authors, choose this track if you already have a fanworker or author to work with. Please only have an author sign up for your team and provide all the necessary information, such as username(s) and email address(es) for every member of your team.
Fanworkers, please do not use the form to sign up for the tandem track. Only sign up using the form if you intend to create a solo piece or claim a fic during the claiming period.
Unsure:
Choose this track if you’re not sure which path you want to choose yet! Fanworkers, you’re welcome, and encouraged, to team up with an author sooner if you like. There are channels in the DCU Bang Discord dedicated to finding a partner!
