What is the check-in?
The check-in is our way of checking to see how our participants are doing with their media.
It is not required, however, feel free to use that time to let us know if you are on schedule or having difficulties (or having fun) with this exchange :)
Pinch Hitting
What is pinch hitting?
Sometimes an assigned writer has to drop out of the challenge. In this case, the moderators will try and find another writer so that everyone has a story.
I’d like to volunteer as a pinch hitter, how can I do that?
If you think you would have enough time to finish your assigned fic, or would just like to volunteer as a pinch hitter for the exchange, you can do so by signing up to:
Name:
Tumblr/Livejournal account:
Have you read all the rules of the exchange?
Do you agree to follow all the rules posted for the exchange?
Note: I am signing up as a pinch hitter. I accept that I have to finish the media if a participant drops out. I will still finish the media assigned in the remaining time, without extension. :)
How exactly does this work?
If you applied to be a pinch hitter, the moderators will immediately email the group of pinch hitters in case someone drops out. We will email the list with the details of the uncompleted work. The pinch hitters will the respond to the email if they see any prompts that interest them. The pinch hitter to be assigned to the fic would be chosen at random.
Pinch hitters may express their interest in more than one incomplete idea but ultimately, will only be assigned to one.
I didn’t get a pinch hit, can I write a story for that person anyway?
Go ahead! You can always write one as a gift for the other person and for the fandom. The more media, the better!
What is the dateline for pinch hits?
For most pinch hits, the deadline would be the same as everyone else (refer to the current schedule above).
How can I contact the moderators?
