2019 NCIS Big Bang Match-ups
Hello!
Many thanks to the Authors who submitted stories and to the Artists who claimed stories for art!
What an exciting start to have three artists all choose the same story in the first minute! That has never happened before, but it all worked out and all summaries have now been claimed.
Artists are expected to have the completed artwork to the Authors no later than 30 September.
That is the due date for both art and stories to be finished.
Please contact your partner. Authors should provide their Artist with a rough draft of their story. If you are unable to contact your partner for any reason, please let the mods know and we will try for you.
It is always frustrating when someone drops off the face of the earth with no communication. This is the biggest complaint of the challenge. Please make sure your paired partner has a good way (or two) to reach you, and please be sure to respond to their communications. If you expect to be unreachable for a few days, please let your partner know so they aren't left wondering why you aren't responding. There is no need to explain why you may be unreachable, but a simple "I may have limited access to email for a few days" would be helpful.

*Avoid misunderstandings!* To ensure emails are not lost to cyberspace, I recommend that Artists confirm back to the Author when they receive the story file, and that Authors confirm back to the Artists when they receive the art file. Just a simple "thanks for sending" or "got it" works fine.
Q: How much collaboration should there be between Author and Artist?
A: It is up to you. We ask that you be respectful of the other and respond to communications in a timely manner. One person does not need to approve the other’s work, but if you want to work together to bounce ideas around, that is perfectly fine. It is also acceptable to work alone. Do not pressure your partner to collaborate if they prefer not to.

Posting Schedule:
Watch for a thread in early-mid September where you can let us know your availability. Please keep in mind that either partner, or the Author's beta, can make the Master Post to the community. I plan to have the schedule posted mid-late September, with posting beginning in early October.
Authors, if you missed the Art Claim, you are still welcome to submit your rough draft once it is 100% complete. It can still be pre-beta, and you can still make changes prior to posting. You will need to submit a rough draft if you would like to be added to the posting schedule. I will accept submissions until Mid-September. I will not be adding anyone to the schedule once it has been posted. Please review the rough draft submission post HERE ON LJ or HERE ON DW.
Posting Access:
Please check the profile page and make sure you have Posting Access prior to your scheduled posting date. You will need to "join" the community, rather than just "watch". Once you have joined and are listed as a member of the community, I will be able to give you posting access for this challenge. Access is generally granted when the posting schedule is revealed in September.
