due South/C6D Big Bang Complementary Claims Post

[thisaintbc]

 We are now LIVE for complementary claims! Although we do ask that at least one complementary work a primary work receives be in a different medium from the primary (fic for art, art for vid, etc), all types of work are accepted: art, fic (2k minimum), podfic, vids, poetry, fanmixes, crafts, you name it. For full details, check the Rules and FAQ. Works are due on November 19, with a mandatory checkpoint on October 22.

Here's how this works! 

• To claim a primary work, comment below with your AO3 username, the best way to contact you, and the number of your preferred primary work(s).
• You may list as many works as you like during this first round of claiming; please rank them in order of preference, and we will assign each complementary creator their highest ranked choice that is still available.
• We'll have a 48-hour open period to give people in different timezones an equal chance to claim. Then the mods will reply to the comments, confirming which work you've been assigned.
• If any works are left after this round of claiming, we'll move to a first come, first served basis.
• Multiple complementary works for a primary work are not only allowed but welcomed with open arms - once all of the primary works have received at least one complementary claim. Similarly, one person is absolutely allowed to create complementary works for multiple primary works - if you'd like to do so, please just wait to claim your second, third, fourth, etc. primary work until we're past the first round of claiming and into the first come, first serve portion of events.
• All works have been claimed at least once! If you would like to make a complementary work for something that has already been claimed once, or would like to claim multiple works, you may now feel free to do so.

Anyone can sign up, regardless of whether you signed up on the initial post back in March. If you have any questions, please ask!
