Full In-Depth COBB 2025 Schedule

Sign-Ups open on Wednesday, January 1st at 12:00 pm (Noon) PST. It will be a simple google form to fill out, just like last year! You’ll be asked to enter your contact information (email, tumblr handle, discord) and agree to our rules. Both writers and artists must sign up by Friday, January 31st 11:59 pm PST. 

After completing the sign-up form, you’ll receive an email from me confirming that we have entered your data into our participants tables! You must reply to your confirmation email to be considered a participant. 

Writers, on February 1st you will receive a link to a form to submit your fic concept. You can fill this out at any time but it must be submitted by Saturday, February 8th 11:59 pm PST. If your idea changes just send a message to the mod (via email, tumblr, or discord) telling us and fill out the form again. You can only fill out this form once per team, as more concepts will tell the mods that you want to be on more than one team.

I will organize the fic concepts and put them on Airtable, where all artists will be able to see the fic concepts on Thursday, February 13th. Claiming begins the following Saturday, February 15th 9:00 am PST and lasts until Monday, February 17th 11:59 pm PST.

Teams will be announced Sunday, February 22nd. From there on we’re leaving it up to you and your partner to talk about what you’re doing! 

We’re going to have a small check-in on Saturday, March 8th for us to see how the teams are doing. All people in your team must fill out the check-in forms (special note for co-writing: Only 1 of your writers needs to do this). The responses for this are due Saturday, March 16th, 11:59 pm PDT.

We’re going to have another check-in on Saturday, May 3th to see where in the process you are and if there’s anything we can do to help. Responses for this are due Thursday, May 8th 11:59 pm PDT.

We have our final check-in on Saturday, June 7th to see how the entire process went for you and what we can do in the future! Responses for this are due Thursday, June 19th 11:59 pm PDT. If neither you or your partner respond your team will be considered dropped out.

The posting schedule comes out on Saturday, June 21th. Every participant will receive an email from me on this date saying when your assigned date for posting is.
