Post-deadline pinch hits #25, 65, 71-73

[modzilla]

The following pinch hits are due at Thursday 22 February 2024, 11:59pm EST. To claim, please reply with the pinch hit you want and your AO3 name. You're also welcome to claim by emailing me.

Minimum requirements: An art gift must be a completed comic at least 10 pages or 40 panels long; a fic gift must be a story at least 10,000 words long. You can also fulfil a pinch hit by giving two complete half-length works, if your recipient has opted into that for the fandom(s) you are creating in. Any work must be for a fandom your recipient has requested and one character/relationship/worldbuilding tag requested in that fandom, and must avoid their DNWs.

Many of the pinch hits below can be claimed by creators who are willing to offer one fic of 5,000+ words or one comic of 20+ panels. This varies by fandom as well as by request - please check the tags on each fandom. Please be clear if that's what you're offering - otherwise I'll assume you're claiming all of a pinch hit. Thank you!

Also, we have some prompts from pinch hitters! If a pinch hit isn't your speed, maybe a treat is?

Progress Towards Reveals

[modzilla]

FFFX reveals are scheduled for 5pm EST Saturday 24 February (note that the time of day is different to the time that deadlines have occurred). Here's a countdown!

This reveal time cannot be guaranteed until all works are in, but it's possible! At present we have four recipients in need of creators. Other creators are actively working on 23 assigned gifts, and as well as those, I'm also excitedly anticipating further gifts for pinch hitters!

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the collection! Thanks and a sincere cheer to all still working, whether creating, revising, or helping others revise.


In order to improve our chances of opening on time with amazing gifts, could you please:

• Mention our pinch hits to your friends and fannish circles, where appropriate. Obviously please don't spam anyone, but maybe you know of a server for fanworks for a fandom that just happens to be a pinch hit right now - that sort of thing? Thanks if you can help!


• Check that you don't accidentally include a DNW with your final edits. Please check that a requested (set of) character(s) is the focus of your work.


• Check that your work is actually the right draft. Copy-paste errors happen, and image hosting can be wonky, but the duty rests with you to check your work over after posting. If it's the wrong version, now is the time to fix it.


• Ensure that your prose and linework is tidy. There is no requirement to get a beta in this exchange; maybe you don't need one. But there is a requirement for your work to be legible and complete and often it's easier for someone other than the creator to spot issues. Please get assistance if you are less than 100% certain of your own work-polishing abilities. We have volunteer betas! They're excellent. (If you are able to join them, that could also be excellent.)
