Welcome artists, vidders, and fanmixers! Claiming is now open! Claiming closes end of the day April 11.

Here's how claiming will work: Fill out a claim form, selecting between 2 and 6 stories you’re interested in working on. After that, the moderators will go over the lists—doing our best to give you your first or second choice—and assuring each story has at least one claim (and hopefully at least one artist or vidder).

What You See: Below the cut are summaries for each story that will appear in the 2012 SG-1 Big Bang. Included with the summary are pairings, ratings, and warnings.

To Claim a Story: Comment to this post with the claim form below. Choose 2–6 stories, and list them in your order of preference. Make sure you include the number of the summary and title of each story. We will give priority based on when we receive claims, so claiming sooner gives you a better chance at your first pick.

If you think you can work on multiple stories and fulfill the minimum requirements—those being, 3 pieces of art, 1 vid, or 1 fanmix (of at least 6 songs)—please sign up for an additional claim! This could be a way for you to still work on your first-choice story.

Please submit your claim form by April 11.

Claim Confirmed: Your claim will be confirmed when drafts are sent by April 15. If you submit a claim form and have not officially signed up for the challenge, please make sure you sign-up for the challenge at the appropriate post. Your email contact information will be needed to send you the rough draft and allow communication between you and your writer.

There are currently no due dates assigned! Once you've received your rough draft, you and your author will need to claim a posting month (those claims start around April 20 at
