GET READY FOR CLAIMDAY!
Hello participants of the 2022 SPN_ReverseBang!
In order to have everything run as smoothly as possible on ClaimDay, here are a couple of things you can do to prepare for the mad rush on artworks this Saturday:)
Don't forget that you need to register as an author in order to be allowed to claim:
Author Sign-Ups close on Friday September 23rd at Noon EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) = 18:00 CEST (Central European Time)
Previews of the artworks will be presented shortly (on Thursday September 22nd;) so you have time to browse through all of them before ClaimDay. Once again there's a treasure trove of wonderful creations, featuring our beloved characters and actors of Supernatural. Are you excited yet?
Make sure to take the time to read all the information below, so you are ready!
HOW TO PREPARE FOR CLAIMDAY
First off, a reminder that SPN_ReverseBang is an event for all of fandom; all genres, pairings and ratings are represented. This is a Ship and Let Ship space, and as usual there are all sorts of artwork on offer: featuring GEN pieces but also any combination of relationships \o/
Art is posted anonymously in three categories: SPN, RPF and EITHER. The latter means it's up to the author's interpretation whether the story will be SPN or RPF. Each piece of ART has a number: a category letter and four digits, for example S1234 / R2345 or E3456.
Claims open on Saturday September 24th at 11 a.m. EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) = 17:00 CEST (Central European Time).
At that time authors -who signed up- can leave a comment on the claimpost with a top 5 list of the art they would like to claim. The mod will respond as fast as they can to confirm claims. Claims will be assigned on a first come, first served basis.
You don't need an LJ-account to claim; claiming via proxy* or anonymous commenting is allowed. Comment to the claimpost with: the NAME you registered with, your EMAIL, and your top 5 choices (the ART number + preferably its title)
Please use the following comment format when making your claims:
TIP: as you go through the previews, create a textfile to type down your choices; prepare the text in the format above and have it ready to copy and paste in a comment as soon as the claimpost opens;) (It's also smart to make a second set of choices, just in case)
The Mod will reply and inform the author of which piece they get, so keep an eye on your comment!
NOTES & RULES
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 a reply to an existing comment) with your new selections.
*Proxies:
If authors are not available during the claims period, they may use a proxy to submit their choices. If a proxy is making a claim for themselves as well, they must leave two separate comments, one stating their own top 5 choices and one stating the top 5 choices of their friend. A simple "claiming for [name here]" at the top of the comment will be fine.
Be kind
We cannot guarantee that anyone will get their first, second, or even fourth choice and it is natural to feel some disappointment about that. However, please refrain from making public comments complaining about any of the artworks that are still on offer; bear in mind the feelings of the artists who are anxiously waiting for their art to be claimed.
Additional claim rounds
In the first round of claims authors will only be allowed to claim one piece of art. Claims will be first come first served, one author per artwork, and the prompts will be crossed out as they are selected. If there are unclaimed pieces after 24 hours, there will be a second round of claims, wherein authors may claim a second piece to write for.
After a piece has been claimed:
Artists are free to contact their author as soon as they see that a claim on their piece has been confirmed, just don't do it publicly while claims are still going. The mod will be posting an Author/Artist Match-up Reveals list, but that will take a little while, so it is strongly recommended that artists proactively contact their authors ASAP; their email will be in the claim:)
When all the art has been claimed, the mod will plan a schedule for posting in November.
The art is not to be published anywhere until there is a story to go with it.
If you have any questions about the Claims process, please comment on this post. (Comments are screened) Remember: claims will have their own post on the day. Do not submit claims to this post.
Here's to a great Claim Day:)
