To those unfamiliar with the concept, second claims are when all the fics in the Big Bang are made available to be claimed again by a second artist, resulting in teams of one writer and two artists. Unlike the first round of claims, however, second claims are completely optional and not all stories are guaranteed to be claimed again.
We encourage all artists who missed the first round of claims to join in and participate in the second round! For the first part of second claims, only artists who have not yet joined the Big Bang are allowed to claim a story.
Artists who have already claimed a story in round one will be invited to claim a second story the following day, on October 2nd at 1:00 UTC. We ask that they do not try to claim a second story at this time, in order to make the process more equitable. We welcome artists signing up twice, but when considering whether to make a second claim or not, we ask that they accord their second story with the same amount of enthusiasm and respect as the first.
Please remember that Big Bang participants are allowed a total of 2 sign-ups, so if you have signed up both as a writer and as an artist for the first round of claims, you have reached the maximum number of permitted sign-ups.
Good luck!
Second claims are still open to new artists for another 22 hours! Come join in the fun!!
If you haven’t joined the Cap-IM Big Bang yet this year, now’s your chance! Artists, you have 12 more hours to get dibs on the fics that you’d like to art for!
For those of you have already signed up once, second claims will open to you for a further 24 hours starting from October 2nd at 1:00 UTC.
