Castiel Bang Sign-ups Now Open!

Hello everyone and welcome to the second annual round of the Castiel Bang, this year with your mods Arcade ( @thedropoutthejunkieandmrcomatose​​ ), Lo ( @eldestdaughtercoded​ ), Charlie ( @writingisntahobby202​ ), Arleigh ( @haybibi-qq​ ), and Summer ( @an-ace-phoenix​ ).

The Cas Bang is open to author, artist, and beta sign-ups! If you love Cas (or Misha) and wanna put creations about one or both out into the world, you are welcome here!!

There are three participation categories: minibang, big bang, and Mega Bang. 

A minibang consists of a fic between 5k and 9.9k words in length and at least one piece of art, a big bang is a fic between 10k and 19.9k words and at least two pieces of art, and finally a Mega Bang is a fic of 20k words or more and 3 pieces of art.

As our schedule currently stands, artist sign-ups close on August 15th, 2021*, author sign-ups close December 1st, 2021, and final posting begins on May 20th, 2022!

It is highly recommended that participants follow this blog and use the instant messaging platform Discord to stay caught-up on their announcements, as the email reminders are a last resort. 

*All times are measured in Pacific Standard (UTC - 8).

FOR CLARIFICATION: this round of the Bang will be a REVERSE BANG, meaning that artists will make art which will then be claimed by writers, rather than the other way around.

Is the discord a hard and fast rule ? I am not sure hot to work Tumblr so I have no clue how to do discord ?

Hi, sorry if it's been a while!

Discord is not a exactly a hard and fast rule, but all communication is done by discord chat, so it would be a bit more complicated if you had no discord.

I apologize for poor communication between mods. Yes, I’m order to participate in this Bang you will need to be semi-active on Discord, because that is our primary method of communication.

Is this still going on and is there a timeline?

Yes this is still going on!

There are a few timelines dotted around, but due to an artist crisis, I think the dates are probably off on most of them.

Important dates that need knowing for people interested in taking part: We hope to have art claims sometime at the start of February, and posting will start in May!

Artists Wanted!!!

Hey folks! Claims are fast approaching (beginning of December, so about 6 weeks from now) and we only have six artists signed up for the 2021 round of the Cas Bang (compared to 17 writers)!!!

Some of these folks are both artists and writers, and we'd like to be able to give everyone the chance to have just one partner to focus on. Additionally, turnout this year has been less than ideal (due in large part to a combination of the Mods' mental health issues and getting locked out of this blog for several months).

Even if you're an author and/or beta, we'd love to have you!! It's always better to sign up and then drop out than to not sign up. There's no judgement if you choose not to participate after you've signed up.

Please consider signing up for the bang here (here's the rules and schedule). We appreciate you all! If you're not interested in participating, please consider boosting this announcement to reach other creators who may want to be involved.

Due to low numbers, claims have been pushed back (probably to end of January/mid-February but that’s something we will be checking with signed up artists slightly closer to the time) meaning there is even more time for artists who are interested in signing up to be able to come up with ideas and get things created. 

Information needed for signing up (or even just checking the event out) is all above.

Cas Bang Masterpost

And with that, the 2020 Castiel Big Bang has ended! Let’s look at the masterpost for the season ending in June 2021~!

#~+~#

Title: Breaking Free and Finding Home

Artist: @soluscheese

Rating: Mature

Pairing(s): Castiel/Dean Winchester (Destiel)

Words: 22,293

Summary: Freedom isn’t something Castiel ever thought he could be familiar with, living under Naomi’s roof with her rules and strict way of living - but when the opportunity presents itself, he takes it and runs.

What he didn’t expect was what followed, and what the newfound freedom would bring him.

~~

Title: Husbands and Headlines

Author: Why_do_you_want_to_know ( @an-ace-phoenix )

Rating: Teen and up

Pairings: Dean/Cas

Words: 22,000

Summary:

Castiel thought his life was perfect. Maybe his husband was away for months at a time - but that was the life of an actor - and it wasn’t like Castiel wasn’t busy as well. They found time for each other. And Castiel knew that they always loved each other.

But then Dean started acting weird.

He took on more and more jobs, spending more time away than at home, and taking the bare minimum in terms of breaks. So when Castiel got a chance to work on the same film set, designing the costumes and spending the next couple of months in Montana with Dean, he jumped at the chance.

When Dean just acted even weirder, and Dean’s co-star Bela seemed to spend more time with Dean than Cas did, he started to see his perfect life crumbling around him.

Is anything really what it seems?

~~

Title: Say Yes

Rating: Explicit

Pairing: Dean/Castiel

Words: 21.1k

Summary:

After evading the apocalypse, Heaven faces a new crisis. Without archangels and with an absent God, the angels will appeal to their last hope: to achieve a perfect bond between two of their own and thus generate the necessary energy to save Heaven.

But when the first attempts fail, and everyone begins to lose hope.

It is then that Castiel admits that he may have “accidentally” started a bonding ritual with Dean Winchester by bringing him out of Hell, and now the restoration of Heaven depends on a brave hunter agreeing to complete the bond with Castiel, a ritual full of enigmas and sensuality that will confront the angel and the human with their most hidden feelings.

~~

Title: Whiskers and Whispers

Author: Why_do_you_want_to_know (@an-ace-phoenix)

Artist: @kingstoken

Rating: Gen

Pairings: Dean/Cas

Words: 6400

Summary:

Castiel gets turned into a cat while killing a witch, and is brought back to the bunker by an unsuspecting Sam and Dean. He tries to get a message across to them, tell them that he isn’t actually a cat, but maybe its not so bad… especially with how open Dean is now that he thinks Castiel is just an animal who can’t understand his words.

~~

Title: Sign of God

Pair: Castiel/ Dean Winchester

Rate: Explicit

Word: 12,000

Summary:

Amara smiled at him.

“Hello, Castiel…seems like you two have been having fun.”

Castiel wrapped his arms protectively around Dean’s sleeping form and dragged him closer to his body.

“What are you doing here? If you’re here for Dean—” She rolled her eyes.

“Of course, I’m here for Dean, but why would that make you think you’re out of the equation? You’re already making a very hot pair…” her eyes drawdown on Dean’s nakedness where a blanket flew to cover seconds next. Castiel didn’t like her smirk at all and was beside himself to tell her to fuck off. But she was here in Dean’s bedroom. She better had a good reason for it because Deity or not, Castiel will kick her out.

~~

Title: Feline Fate

Artist: @nickelkeep

Rating: T

Pairing: Castiel & Dean Winchester

Words: 5041

Summary:

The cat considers Castiel for a moment. “Mrow,” it repeats, a little less irritated, immediately followed by a high, curious trill.

“If I take you home with me,” Castiel tells the cat, stern, “you will be good. Won’t you?”

When Castiel rescues a green eyed cat from a certain doom via one truck running a red light, he never would have guessed his act of altruism would send a pair of brothers crashing through the door of his already chaotic, eventful life.

It’s a good thing Castiel’s well acquainted with seeing strange things.

~~

Title: Angelic Kitty Curse

Art by: nickelkeep

Pairing: Castiel/Dean Winchester

Rating: Explicit

Words: 21736

Summary:

Angel’s only go through a mating season every few millennia so imagine Castiel’s surprise when his wings burst onto the physical, signaling the start of mating season. Castiel is worried that Sam and Dean might find the wings offputting, but he never imagined how Dean would react to them. Disheartened that his feelings for Dean aren’t reciprocated, Castiel enlists the help of Rowena to help him end his mating season prematurely. Instead, the spell goes wrong, and Castiel ends up turning into a cat with his wings still showing. Will Castiel be turned back into an angel before it’s too late? Will Dean ever learn Castiel’s true feelings?

I see that artist apps close before author apps. Does this mean writers will be creating a story based on the artists work?

Yes! For this round of the bang, artists will be creating their work first and then authors will be claiming art to write fics around. Good question, anon!

Hi! I've never participated in one of these before so I wanted to see if it would be OK for me to sign up? I'd like to sign up as a beta reader, but I'm not very good writer, and I also haven't finished the series, so I wouldn't be able to help with like characterization and stuff like that, I would mostly just be giving feedback on grammar and like sentence structure, just making the work read nicely if that makes sense. I've only ever beta-ed once, for one of my friends.

You can absolutely sign up as a beta reader! You don't have to do any more or less than you feel like you can!
