The Cap-IM Reverse Bang Date Claims are coming—it's time for you to decide on a posting date!

Date Claims will open on Saturday, April 19th, 9:00 AM EDT (what time is this for me?) and close on April 21th at 11:00 PM EDT.

Remember that if no one on your team is available to claim a date, you can ask someone else to proxy-claim for you!

2025 Cap-Iron Man Reverse Big Bang

IMPORTANT INFORMATION


  • By claiming a posting date, you are committing to having your work complete and ready for posting by the date you have picked; this counts as your check in for the RBB. If your team does not claim a date by April 21th 11:00 PM EDT or email the mods prior to claims, we will assign your team to a posting date.

  • If no team member is able to submit your date claims on behalf of the team, please use a proxy to submit a claim on your behalf. If you can't find a proxy, please email the mods at cap.im.events@gmail.com.

  • By submitting a claim, your team is committing to publishing your works on any of the dates chosen. If you believe you won't be able to finish your work by next month, please communicate your concerns with your partner(s) and the mods as soon as possible. You can find all extension and amnesty information in our Schedule and Process post.

  • Incomplete works, failure to meet the deadline, or a complete lack of communication with your team on and after your posting date will result in a participant's temporary ban from some [community profile] cap_ironman events — for further details, read through our Defaulting and Participation Eligibility guidelines.


HOW TO CLAIM YOUR DATE


31 posting dates are available from 1st May to 31st May. Only two teams will be posting on any given day so that your Stevetony content is staggered for people to enjoy!

Before choosing the posting dates you will list, please make sure it will work for everyone on the team. You are required to have all works posted on your confirmed posting date by noon EDT so that you can send the mods the masterpost information on time. This means that if an artist is working with two creators (was double claimed), they will all post their fanworks on the same day.

Posting date claims will be run via a Google Form on a first come, first-served basis.
  • The Date Claims Form is linked here, as is the live claims spreadsheet that will show the claims happening real-time. The form will only open when date claims start, but you can access the link beforehand.

  • Your posting team is determined by the artist's CODENAME as given to you in the RBB matching email.

  • The person claiming on behalf of a team needs to know their CODENAME and 3-5 posting dates to list in order of preference.

  • Posting dates will be allocated in the order that forms are received.

  • Teams that submit forms where all dates listed have already been picked will be asked to resubmit.

Remember, only one person claims on behalf of their team.

Please find the Posting Date Claims Form here. It will open on Saturday, April 19th, 9:00 AM ET (what time is this for me?) and close on April 21th at 11:00 PM EDT.
Please find the spreadsheet for viewing live claims here.



On April 19th, teams will receive an email with their finalized posting date and additional information regarding their deadline.
