This is probably a dumb question, but what happens if my fic idea is so niche that there’s no one who wants to make art or beta for it?
Hi,
No dumb questions! We've been running this bang for three years. So far, we've got very niche fics and we've never had a fic left unclaimed. If it does happen, we'll send it straight to our pinch hitters who are very keen to claim fics!
Speaking of: if you'd like to receive pinch hits, you can sign up here🔗!

The list of fics available for Art and Beta claims has been sent to all artists and betas. Please take the time to read it thoroughly.
Artists and Betas will receive their respective Claims form on August 18: using the list they received today, they will need to fill out their Claims form by August 20, 11:59PM UTC. You can check that time against your own timezone here.
Betas and artists have a couple of days to familiarize themselves with the list and look at the fics! On their respective Claims form, they will have to rate all of them on a scale from 1 (Not Interested) to 5 (Very Interested). Bear in mind that artists will have to rate at least 5 fics either 4 or 5 (3 fics rated either 4 or 5 for betas). If many artists and/or betas claim the same fic, we'll go on a first-come, first-served basis!

By now, all signed-up artists, betas and writers should have received at least one welcome email from us and one check-in. If this is not your case: contact us immediately!
We've heard from participants informing us they did not receive our welcome email and/or check-ins: please make sure that our emails are not ending up in your spam box. Since we send all check-ins BCC'ing everyone (so as to avoid publicly sharing all email addresses), our emails might end up in your spams. If this is the case, please whitelist theclonebang@gmail.com.
Pinch Hitters: We didn't send you welcome emails, but if you want to be certain you're in our list, you can send us an email (and we'll gladly reply back).

This beta check-in is mandatory: we only have two questions. Betas have until August 12, 11:59PM UTC to reply (you can check that against your timezone here ).
We'll officially check back in with betas on August 13. On that date, betas are going to receive a list of all the fics to claim: please take the time to read it thoroughly.
We are also going to send the Beta Claims form on August 18; using the list we sent a week prior, betas will need to fill out the Beta Claims form by August 20, 11:59PM UTC. You can check that time against your own timezone here.

This writer check-in is mandatory. Most questions will be used for the Story Details form, which is a list of all Clone Bang fics that we will send out to artists for Art Claims and betas for Beta Claims.
This check-in will take more time for writers to fill out than previous ones. We recommend that writers have these at the ready before they start answering all the questions:
Reminder that there will be no extensions: once the form is closed, writers won't be able to check in anymore (no exceptions)!

Since the upcoming Writer Check-In (Check-in #3 - Story Details) is mandatory, we wanted to offer writers the possibility to check in early!
Check-In #3 will be open from July 30 to August 5, 11:59PM UTC. It's an entire week, but just in case some of you will be very busy at that time (or, who knows, on vacation somewhere where signal is an option at best), we can send you the Check-In form earlier.
What this means:
Reminder that there will be no extensions: once the form is closed, you won't be able to check in anymore (no exceptions)! You can check in earlier but not later!
In any case, the form will be open for all writers from July 30 to August 5, 11:59PM UTC. You can check that time against your own timezone here🔗.
