Pinch hits time! Are any of these you?

Hello hello hello! What's that? I was just here? Well we had a bunch of writer's lives explode, so I am here again, hoping that your life is a little less "my computer bluescreened" and a little more "I would love to take on a recreational deadline".

We have three FOUR ONE pinch hits outstanding! They are

PH20 is a Dream SMP bedrock bros au! Focusing on Technoblade and Tommyinnit, this is a Sweet Tooth (Netflix Series) AU, which is a Minor Post-Apocalyptic AU, Minor Hybrid AU. The artist is a minor who is open to working with all ages, and they are open to Graphic Depictions of Violence and a wide range of fandom themes, from fluff to child abuse to adoption to kidnapping to lgbtqia headcanons. Full creative options! CLAIMED

PH21 is a dream SMP au focusing on Tommyinnit and Niki Nihachu— either together (platonically) or separately! It's a hunger game au, the artist is a minor who is open to working with all ages, and they opted into graphic depictions of violence, major character death, AND unhappy endings, so you can go fully hunger games if you want, (as long as you don't make tommy or niki siblings, as the artist did say they didn't want that). CLAIMED

PH22 is a QSMP au focusing on Chayanne and Tallulah! It's a paper mario au, and the artist is an adult who is open to working with all ages. The author doesn't want any major archive warnings on the work, but they did opt into adoption and foster narratives, fluff, lgbtqia headcanons, family dynamics, and more, so you can do some fantastic kidfic with this. CLAIMED

PH23 is a DSMP au focusing on Tommyinnit & Technoblade! It's a spy au with a steampunkish setting, and there are an awesome seven panels to this comic art piece. The artist is minor who is open to working with all ages, and they opted into graphic depictions of violence for major archive warnings, and for fandom themes they okayed alcoholism, drug use, family dynamic and fluff, for a full spectrum of options on how to take this! (Though the artist has requested that it not get darker than exile arc, for a benchmark). CLAIMED

The expectation for these fics is 5k each. We will automatically offer an extension to August 2nd, but greater extensions are available if you think you can take it. If you are interested any of these pieces, (or to look at the art in detail), join the discord and talk to one of the mods!

MCYTBlr White Elephant is Seeking Pinch Hitters!

With the final writing period upon us, we have a couple works that need Pinch Hitters. Now, just because a work is on this list doesn't mean it hasn't had a writer at all- it just means it wasn't claimed this go around. Both of these pitches will need 1,000 new words each for a minimum 2,500 per pitch.

HC02 [CLAIMED!]: [Fandom: Hermitcraft, Video Blogging RPF] [Characters: impulseSV, Skizzleman] [Relationships: impulseSV/Skizzleman] [DNW: N/A] Skizz comforts an overworked Impulse. [Content Warnings: RPF, inferiority complexes]

LS02 [CLAIMED!]: [Fandom: Lifesteal] [Characters: ClownPierce, PrinceZam] [Relationships: ClownPierce & PrinceZam (QPR preferred)] [DNW: Pet injury/death | sexual content (passing jokes/references are fine) | kissing on lips | themes of suicide/self harm (self-sacrificial acts without harmful intent toward the self are fine) | amatonormative themes | bodily fluids other than blood/sweat/tears | underage/incest | extreme dysphoria for trans characters | horses/giraffes (canon presences or passing references are fine) | negativity about religion as a concept (negativity about a particular religion ie cult themes is not a strict DNW, but nothing like “I’m not an idiot, I don’t believe in any god”) | PrinceZam referred to as solely a man (I see her as genderqueer, this doesn’t have to be included but if it isn’t please don’t refer to his gender!) | strictly evil ClownPierce] The courts gather in tradition for a colosseum deathgame, and Prince Zam is determined to compete despite the expectations upon her as a member of the royal family. There's a connection with esteemed arena champion ClownPierce, who could be Zam's key to the games, and Zam may be his key to a future outside of his victories. Prince Zam's crown puts a target on his head, and the prize of defeating the champion ClownPierce motivates other hungry competitors. [Content Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence, death, potential self-sacrifice]

Hello Reylo Writers!

The 2025 Reylo Fanfiction Anthology fic exchange, burned so with bliss, is looking for pinch hitters! Pinch hitters step in to write an assignment when the original writer drops out. If you’d like to volunteer, please fill out our Google Form here.

Pinch hitters will be given assignments in the order they sign up, and will get their assignments as soon as we have them.

🚨 We Need Pinch Hitters & Betas! 💌

Sign-ups are officially closed, but we’re still looking for a few heroes behind the scenes!

If you missed the initial deadline—or just want to help out without fully committing to a fic or art piece—consider signing up as a pinch hitter or beta for the Stucky Historical Fiction Mini Bang 2025!

🧢 What’s a Pinch Hitter? A pinch hitter is someone who steps in to write or draw if another creator has to drop out. Life happens, and having backup ensures everyone still gets a finished piece. We’ll only contact you if needed, and you can always say no if it’s not a good time!

📝 What’s a Beta? Betas help creators polish their stories—whether that’s catching typos, helping with flow, or just being a second pair of eyes. You can offer to check grammar, help with historical accuracy, or just give general feedback—whatever you're comfortable with!

We can’t run this bang without amazing folks like you keeping things strong behind the scenes. 💪💙
