DC Universe Big Bang

Happy holidays everyone! I apologize for my sporadic absences, things have been very hectic this year for me in RL.

Due to the holidays, I have not had the time or the energy to get things prepared for Amnesty Week. I will be extending the Amnesty Period until December 20th because of this! Amnesty reveals will take place during the week of December 13-20.

I will be reaching out to people that I have not yet heard from in the next few days, if you are someone that needs to contact me, please feel free to do so first!

If you’re ready to post, you can do so now. Here are the posting guidelines. If you have a question or need help posting, please reach out and I will get back to you ASAP!

Thank you everyone for sticking out this crazy, crazy year! I’ve been very impressed with everyone’s works so far and look forward to seeing more!

If you have any questions, concerns, here is the Page-A-Mod Post You can also contact the mods via, dcubang@gmail.com, or by sending a PM on DreamWidth/LiveJournal to luciferxdamien, or sending a DM on Discord to LuciferxDamien.

Twitter and Tumblr are NOT the quickest way to get in touch with me, as those accounts are not checked as frequently. If your matter is urgent, Discord or email are the quickest way to receive a response!

Hello everyone! Here is this year’s reveal schedule!

Stories will be revealed daily, at about 5PM Mountain Time. Here is a time converter for you! On the "Converted Time" clock, select "Change your Location" and input your own information to see what time that is for you, daily. (The date, November 30th is irrelevant.)
What time is that for me?

If you still haven’t claimed a date, please make sure to do so right here: Reveals Date Claiming Form. If you need to use the amnesty period, this is no problem, just select a date between November 22-30!

I also want to remind everyone that if you need to drop out, please just let me know! If you are Tandem or Solo, there are no consequences for dropping out, if you are Traditional, however, there can be consequences. Please reach out to me if you need help, I'm very willing to work with people that contact me!

2020’s collection can be found right here: DCU Bang 2020 Ao3 Collection and the Posting Guidelines are here if you need them!


Reveal Dates Schedule

Hello everyone! Reveals Begin today and I hope you’re as excited as I am!

Beginning tonight, authors and fanworkers will be emailed the night before or the morning of their reveal date, just to make sure they’re ready for their works to be revealed. If you are not ready to have your work revealed, you must contact me ASAP so we can set up a different reveal date! It’s no trouble at all if you need a different date, I just need to know!

Stories will be revealed daily, at about 5PM Mountain Time. Here is a time converter for you! On the "Converted Time" clock, select "Change your Location" and input your own information to see what time that is for you, daily. (The date, November 30th is irrelevant.)
What time is that for me?

Please make sure to check the Reveals Schedule to see when your works will reveal, if you’ve forgotten!

If you need to drop out, for any reason, please get in contact with me so that I can update things on my end! If you need some extra time, let’s talk and see if we can work something out! I can’t help if I don’t know there is a problem!

It is also a good idea to change the publication date on your work(s) on your reveal date, so that it shows up in the most recent listings! To do this, hit edit, go to the Associations box and scroll down to “Set a different publication date”, and then change to the current date and save, so that your work(s) show up on the first page of your fandom!

If you have any questions, concerns, here is the Page-A-Mod Post You can also contact the mods via, dcubang@gmail.com, or by sending a PM on DreamWidth/LiveJournal to luciferxdamien, or sending a DM on Discord to LuciferxDamien.

Hello everyone! I apologize for running behind on opening the collection. The DCU Bang 2020 Collection is now open! The due date will be extended to November 1st to account for my lateness.

The 2020 Posting Guidelines can be found right here!

I will be checking over the date claims and mandatory check-in and reach out to anyone that hasn’t checked in and claimed a date or contacted me! It’s not too late to check-in or claim a reveal date! Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns or need to post during the Amnesty Period, no amnesty requests will be denied.

If your author or artist partner is not responding to you, please contact LuciferxDamien in private immediately, either via Discord or by emailing dcubang@gmail.com.

The due date for all works is now through November 1st. Works posted during this timeframe will be hidden and revealed on the reveal date that has been chosen from the Reveal Date Form. If you do not post to the collection by the 31st of October, a reminder email will be sent out. If you cannot post by November 1st, but still wish to finish the Bang, the Amnesty Posting Period is November 22-30. Please contact me to let me know you need the Amnesty Posting Period!

Works are set to reveal at about 5PM MST daily. It may be later some days, but works will not reveal before 5PM MST daily.

If your work is not in the collection by November 1st, you will need to wait until the Amnesty Posting Period. Any participant that has not posted by November 30th will be considered as dropped out or incomplete. Depending on the circumstances, this can lead to a 1-round ban, meaning you will not be able to participate in DCU Bang 2021. Bans will be issued on a case-by-case basis.

If you do not have an Ao3 already, please get in queue ASAP for an Ao3 account and start familiarizing yourself with the site! I’ve got some invites, but I only want to hand those out closer to posting time.


If you have any questions, concerns, here is the Page-A-Mod Post You can also contact the mods via, dcubang@gmail.com, or by sending a PM on DreamWidth/LiveJournal to luciferxdamien, or sending a DM on Discord to LuciferxDamien.

Hello everyone! Here is the posting guide for this year!

If you still haven’t claimed a date, please make sure to do so right here: Reveals Date Claiming Form

If you need to change your reveal date, please contact me ASAP! For example, if you selected November 5th and want to be moved to a later date, such November10th, please send me an email, dcubang@gmail.com, or a message on Discord and I can get that changed for you, no problem!

If you do not have an Ao3 already, please contact me ASAP!!! I have some invites, so if you need an account, please let me know so you can get one right away! Send a DM to LuciferxDamien on Discord, or an email to dcubang@gmail.com.

Artists/fanworkers do not need to post to Ao3 this year, but all stories must be posted to Ao3. Artist/fanworkers can post on Ao3, LiveJournal, DreamWidth, Tumblr, Twitter, etc. so long as the fanwork is publicly viewable and is linked in the story somewhere, either via embedding, or a simple link in the Author Notes!

Here is this year’s Ao3 Collection:
DCU Bang 2020 Ao3 Collection.

Ao3 Bugs/Glitches: Chances are, some of you might come across an AO3 bug or glitch while posting. There are some known issues with revealing works in a collection marked as unrevealed. Gift email notifications may not go out, as well as emails to subscribers that you’ve posted a new work. There’s nothing I can do about this, it’s an Ao3 bug. At the end of the DCU Bang, the collection will be set to “Revealed” which might trigger all of the emails to go out then.

Hello everyone! Date claiming is now open! I apologize for the lateness of this, reveal date claiming is from now through October 12th.

This will be working differently from past years, so please make sure to read everything before filling out the claiming form. If you have any other questions, please contact me ASAP! Please also make sure to do the final, mandatory check-in as well!

If your author or artist partner is not responding to you, please contact LuciferxDamien in private immediately, either via Discord or by emailing dcubang@gmail.com.

This year, there will not be any limits on how many stories can be posted on a single day. Just choose the date(s) that works best for you and your team, if you are working with an artist/co-author. Some days may have multiple stories and other days may have none, this is fine and to be expected! Make sure you coordinate with your artist(s) and/or author(s) if you are working in a Tandem team or Traditional team to pick a date (or dates if you are posting more than one story) that will work for your whole group.

The due date for all works is October 25th through October 31st, when the DCU Bang 2020 Ao3 Collection will open. Works posted during this timeframe will be hidden and revealed on the date that is selected between now and October 12th. If you do not post to the collection by the 31st of October, a reminder email will be sent out. If you cannot post by the 31st, but still wish to finish the Bang, the Amnesty Posting Period is November 22-30. Please contact me to let me know you need the Amnesty Posting Period!

Works are set to reveal at about 5PM MST daily. It may be later some days, but works will not reveal before 5PM MST daily.

If your work is not in the collection by October 31st, you will need to wait until the Amnesty Posting Period. Any participant that has not posted by November 30th will be considered as dropped out or incomplete. Depending on the circumstances, this can lead to a 1 round ban, meaning you will not be able to participate in DCU Bang 2021. Bans will be issued on a case-by-case basis.

If you do not have an Ao3 already, please get in queue ASAP for an Ao3 account and start familiarizing yourself with the site! I’ve got some invites, but I only want to hand those out closer to posting time.

Full posting guidelines will be posted before works are due. Beneath the cut is some important information for posting before the full guidelines come out:

Hello everyone! I apologize for the lateness of this, real life hit very hard last month. The check-in and date claiming period will run from now through October 12th, to give everyone time to check-in and contact their groups to claim a reveal date!

This is our very last check-in for DCU Bang! That's right, we're nearing the end of DCU Bang 2020! I'm so excited to see what everyone has been working on, and I've been very impressed as well with all of the hardwork and dedication to your stories and/or art! Everyone, Solo author/artists, Traditional authors/artists, and Tandem authors/artists are required to fill out the form! The survey will remain open through October 12th to give everyone time to fill it out.

The most important thing when filling out the survey is make sure you use the same email address that was used in your sign-up, so that I can check you off. If you do not remember which email you used to sign-up, a copy of the Google Survey should have been sent to you when you signed up. If you still cannot find it, please contact me and I will check on my end!

This survey will be just like the last one and it is mandatory!!! The survey will remain open until Monday, October 12th. Missing two mandatory check-ins in a row will cause you to be dropped from the Bang, so make sure to get the survey done ASAP!

5th DCU Bang Check-in - Mandatory

If you have not been in contact with your author or artist for some time, please reach out and let your partner know how you're doing, because Date Claiming has begun as well! Information on how posting will work will be available in a few days, though you can check out 2019’s posting guidelines right now. Works are due October 25-31. Stories will begin revealing on November 1st. We’re almost there, everyone!

Now is a good time to get an Ao3 account and start familiarizing yourself with the site! I’ve got some invites, but I only want to hand those out closer to posting time. It can sometimes take more than 2 weeks to get an invitation, so the sooner you get in queue, the better!

Come drop by the Discord server for some sprints and encouragement, if you need a push! The server is also a great place to find a beta reader, should you want one. Beta readers are not mandatory this year, but highly advised!

If you have any questions, concerns, here is the Page-A-Mod Post You can also contact the mods via, dcubang@gmail.com, or by sending a PM on DreamWidth/LiveJournal to luciferxdamien, or sending a DM on Discord to LuciferxDamien.

Hello everyone! Here is the 4th DCU Bang check-in! This check-in is mandatory! Everyone, Solo author/artists, Traditional authors/artists, and Tandem authors/artists are required to fill out the form, so I can start planning for posting and see where everyone is at! The survey will remain open until September 12th to give everyone time to fill it out.

The most important thing when filling out the survey is make sure you use the same email address that was used in your sign-up, so that I can check you off. If you do not remember which email you used to sign-up, a copy of the Google Survey should have been sent to you when you signed up. If you still cannot find it, please contact me and I will check on my end!

Check-In #4 - Mandatory

If you do not already have one, now is also a good time to get an Ao3 account and start familiarizing yourself with the site! I’ve got some invites, but I only want to hand those out closer to posting time.

The next mandatory check-in will be October 1st, which is when Date Claiming will begin. Information on how posting will work will be available in the next check-in. Works are due October 23rd-31st. Stories will begin revealing on November 1st! We’re almost there, everyone!

Come drop by the Discord server for some sprints and encouragement, if you need a push! The server is also a great place to find a beta reader, should you want one. Beta readers are not mandatory this year, but highly advised!

Hello everyone! Here is the 3rd DCU Bang check-in! This check-in is NOT mandatory, but it's a good idea to take a look at the check-in survey, to see how the rest of the mandatory check-ins will be handled.

This check-in is non-mandatory for both authors and fanworkers! This is also the last day of the Grace Period, where Traditional participants can drop out, without consequences! If something has come up, or you feel you cannot continue your art or story, please contact me ASAP, either via email, dcubang@gmail.com, or on the Discord server!

The most important thing when filling out the survey is make sure you use the same email address that was used in your sign-up, so that I can check you off. If you do not remember which email you used to sign-up, a copy of the Google Survey should have been sent to you when you signed up. If you still cannot find it, please contact me and I will check on my end!

Check-In #3 Survey

September 1st is the next check-in, and it will be our first mandatory check-in. Everyone, Solo author/artists, Traditional authors/artists, and Tandem authors/artists are required to fill out the form next time, so I can start planning for posting and see where everyone is at!

You've all been doing amazingly and I look forward to seeing all of your creations, soon!

If you have any questions, concerns, here is the Page-A-Mod Post You can also contact the mods via, dcubang@gmail.com, or by sending a PM on DreamWidth/LiveJournal to luciferxdamien, or sending a DM on Discord to LuciferxDamien.

The third round of claims is now closed and all match-up emails from all three rounds have been sent out. If you have not received your match-up email(s) yet, please contact me ASAP so that authors and fanworkers can get to work!

Authors that originally signed up as Traditional Author or Undecided Author and have not yet contacted me or did not send in a rough draft have been automatically switched to Solo Author. If you need to drop out or have questions, please send me an email or contact me on Discord!

August 1st is the next check-in, and it is non-mandatory for both authors and fanworkers. August 1st is also the last day of the Grace Period.

Grace Period
This is a chance for Traditional Path artists/fanworkers to get in contact with their authors and vice versa. This is a very important time for both artists and authors to consider if they can finish by November 30th, and if either party determines they cannot finish on time, they have a chance to drop out without consequences, and will be welcomed back for DCU Bang 2021.

Once it is August 2nd, Traditional Path artists and authors cannot drop out without consequences. However, if a major life event happens after this, just get in contact with me, I don't want to punish anyone that has a major life event! This has been a very crazy and unpredictable year, and I will work with anyone that gets in contact with me and lets me know something has happened. I will not punish anyone that gets in contact with me, but I can’t help if I don’t know there is a problem!
