ds_c6d_bigbang | 2016 Complementary Claims are CLOSED

And we are now LIVE for claiming! Anyone who signed up as a complement creator (ask us if you’re not sure!) may post a comment here with the number of your choice. You may list as many numbers as you would like, and we will assign each complement creator their highest ranked choice that is still available. For example, if the first comment posted requests “1, 2, 3” and the second commenter requests “1, 2, 3”, the first commenter will be assigned to work #1 and the second commenter to work #2. If the third commenter requests “1, 2”, they will not be assigned a work and we will move on to commenter #4. The third commenter is welcome to comment again and request a different work, but their requests will be honored in order of the second comment they post. If we make it through all the primary works and still have complement creators looking to match up, we’ll open things up for another round. Similarly, if we still have primary works needing to be claimed, we'll open it up to those who had not signed up, then we'll let people claim 2 works if we still need to make matches. Make sense? Feel free to ask questions!

Summary for complementary work claiming:

So, D Day, Z Day, the Day the World Went Grey, I was shaking down Murphy. He was a small fish that thought he was a big fish, ’til we got hold of him. Right now he was tied up to a kitchen chair, and I had Leonard Cohen stuck in my head. I don’t even like Leonard Cohen. Too much gravel and death going on. I told Benny that once, on stakeout, after one too many renditions of Suzanne. He looked at me, with big disappointed eyes, and said ‘you don’t really care for music, do you?’ Took me a moment to get it, then I cracked up. Nobody could deadpan like Benny.

And shit, why was I thinking of Benny again? I couldn’t afford to think of Benny. Not when I was about to cut out some guy’s tongue.

[Vecchio's day gets worse. So does everyone else's.]
