Hi everyone,

It's time for claims for the Venom Big Bang!

Claims are now open! Everything is now claimed. Thank you!

As of 10am GMT, Sunday 21 June, and will stay open until everything is claimed.

Instructions

You can make a claim in two ways:

Post a comment to this Claims post once claims are open.

Email me any time after the Claims officially open at cupidsbower at gmail with your claim preferences.

Include:

Put the number and title of the claim you’d prefer in your comment or email along with your handle or name.

You can list up to three of the Big Bangs. However, you don’t have to choose three, if there’s only one you want.

The Rules for Claims

I will be granting claims as follows:

First come first served. I will do my best to check posting/emailing dates and grant the claim to the first person who asks for it (once claims have officially opened).
If someone has already claimed your first request, I will move down your list and compare your second and third requests to timestamps for any other requests, and give you the first one that is still unclaimed.
Once you have one successful claim, I will hold off until all the requests have been processed before checking if you want a second claim.
If you don’t get any of your three preferred claims, and are happy to get any claim, add “Okay to be given any claim” as a fourth point on your list. I will then assign you any available Big Bang.
Once you have received an email or reply from me with confirmation you have the Claim, please sign up to the VBB AO3 Collection if you have not already done so.
