Pinch Hitters' Prompts 2017
Many Yuletide pinch hits are written by people who are signed up to the challenge this year, and who will get gifts of their own. Some pinch hits are not!
Though pinch hitters are not guaranteed a gift, we'd like to make it a possibility. This post and its Dreamwidth equivalent are for the purpose of collecting prompts from the pinch hitters who are not signed up to Yuletide, so that writers may give them treats.
To writers
Please consider writing a treat for a pinch hitter! See instructions on DW and on LJ for how, where, and when to post a treat.
To pinch hitters
If you are signed up to Yuletide this year, this post does not apply to you, but we still hope you get all the gifts.
If you are not signed up to Yuletide this year but you have claimed or posted a pinch hit, please feel free to comment to this post or the DW post with your requests! We suggest you limit yourself to fandoms and characters in the tag set, but you can ask for more than 6 different fandoms.

You can treat your comment as a Dear Writer letter, with likes and prompts, or include a link to a letter. Either way, please include the following information when you comment:
-your AO3 name
-your requested fandoms
-your requested characters
and, optionally, ideas for what you would like to receive, or (a) link(s) to other places where you have written about what you would like.
New this year!
karanguni has kindly encoded a feature into their app that will allow us (the mod & tagmod team) to add your comments to the app in such a way that they will show up with distinctive formatting, and their own filter. This will make it even easier for writers to find prompts by non-signed-up pinch hitters.
Please hold off on adding your prompts to the app yourself, as it'll be easier for people to find if you let us do it. ^!^ We will try not to lag too far behind comments here.
NB: If using the app to find pinch hitters' prompts, ensure that you select the following settings:
UNTICK "only fandoms with prompts" (as some pinch hitters' fandoms will not have prompts derived from AO3 sign-ups)
TICK "Only fandoms with pinch hitters (brackets around username)".
