Inception Reverse Bang

The first round of claims is now closed! All of the art has been claimed. Artists are free to reach out to their authors through email or PM (information is listed in the claims comments).

There will be a second round of claiming on 12PM/Noon PST on Wednesday, July 3rd. This means that another Claims Post featuring all the art work will be put up so a second Author can claim a piece of art and write a story for it.

Authors may not forfeit any art that they have already claimed in order to pick a different one from this post.

Once again, the Claims process will be first come, first serve. We make no guarantee to the Artists that their art will be claimed more than once, and we make no guarantees that Authors will get their first, second, or fifth choice in this round.

Schedule:

Saturday, July 6th: The Big Reveal of Artist/Author Matchups

Friday, July 26th: Author Check in
Friday, August 16th: Author Check in
Sunday, September 1st: Stories due
Sunday, September 8th Posting Schedule goes up

Sunday, September 15th: Posting begins

Artists: If you would prefer your art not be put up for a second claim, please comment to this post with your art piece number(s) from the first post here & suggested pairing(s) if any. We will remove your pieces from the second claims post. If an artist doesn't comment to this post, it will be assumed they are okay with second claims.

Authors: If you are interested in claiming a second peice of art to write for, please bear in mind that posting will begin in mid-September and schedule accordingly. Consider your own writing habits as well as any upcoming events (exams, travel, etc) that may make writing two 3,000+ word stories unmanageable. This is doubly true if you are currently signed up to be an artist in this challenge as well. If you don't think you can feasibly commit to writing two stories within the given timeframe, please refrain from claiming a second piece and possibly disappointing one or both your artists.

Pinch-Hitting:
A sign up post for Pinch-Hitters (people who volunteer to write a story after someone drops out) will be posted to the community after Claims are all finished.


If you have any questions, please comment to this entry.

The first round of Art Claims is now officially closed. All 94 pieces of art have been successfully claimed by authors in record time; congratulations to all our participants! Artists, if you have not already contacted your authors, please go ahead and do so.

Both Artist and Author sign ups are now closed. Membership to the community is currently closed. If you have a compelling reason to join the community beyond wanting to see the art or being curious, you may comment to this post.

When:
There will be a second round of claiming. This means that another Claims Post featuring all the art work will be put up so a second Author can claim a piece of art and write a story for it. In the interest of fairness, we will be opening the post at 7 PM PST tomorrow, February 21 (the second most voted for time, as per our poll).

For the first 24-hours, this post will be open to claims by Authors who signed up for the challenge but did not successfully claim any art in the first round of Claims. If an Author has already claimed a piece of art, they may not participate in this second round of claims until 24 hours have passed. Authors may not forfeit any art that they have already claimed in order to pick a different one from this post.

This post will become open to Authors who wish to claim a SECOND piece of art at 7:00 PM PST February 22, 2011.

Once again, the Claims process will be first come, first serve. We make no guarantee to the Artists that their art will be claimed more than once, and we make no guarantees that Authors will get their first, second, or fifth choice in this round.

Schedule:

Monday, February 21st: Second round of claims open to Authors who have no art yet
Sunday, February 22nd: Second round of claims open to all Authors (including those who want a second piece of art)

A Second Claim:
Authors: If you are interested in claiming a second peice of art to write for, please bear in mind that posting will begin in early April and plan your schedule accordingly. Consider your own writing habits as well as any upcoming events (exams, travel, etc) that may make writing two 3,000+ word stories unmanageable. This is doubly true if you are currently signed up to be an artist in this challenge as well. If you don't think you can feasibly commit to writing two stories within the given timeframe, please refrain from claiming a second piece and possibly disappointing one or both your artists.

Pinch-Hitting:
A sign up post for Pinch-Hitters (people who volunteer to write a story after someone drops out) will be posted to the community after Claims are all finished.
