If you make art/write fic, ship Johnshi (Mortal Kombat) or KenRyu (Street Fighter) or Hannigram (NBC Hannibal), and feel like giving some art or fic to someone, this is a great way to do that!

What Are Pinch Hits?

Sometimes, either because of matching, or because something has happened in the life of the original assigned creator and they had to tell the mods they wouldn't get the gift done, exchanges have assignments that have no creator. That's when they put them up for Pinch Hits, and creators who want to take on an extra challenge on a shorter deadline can volunteer to pick them up. That way everybody still gets a gift.

Fic in a Box is no exception, and we do have Pinch Hits that are looking for creators!

Not everyone can take up 10k of an assignment— and sometimes the original creator was able to cover some of the assignment but not all of it, or had to drop when they only had a swap— so FIAB does pinch hits in 1k-increments. You will see a pinch hit like "PH 8 - 5k - 鹿鼎記 - 金庸 | The Deer and the Cauldron - Louis Cha, 鹿鼎記 | The Duke of Mount Deer (Hong Kong 1984), 老洞 | The Old Miao Myth (Hong Kong 1983), 江湖 | Triad Underworld (2004)", and you click through to get more details, and hmmm, yes, that looks like something you can do, and you think to yourself— well I'm pretty busy right now, but I bet I can do 2k of The Deer and the Cauldron— and you can inform the mods that you'll take 2k, and then the mods will update the post saying that they're just looking for 3k now! Any increment down to 1k and up to 10k is welcome and helpful!

All of the current pinch hits can be found in this tag, on the Dreamwidth blog. If you want to pick one up (or some part of one up), you can either email the mods at ficinaboxmod@gmail.com, or you can comment directly on the post the Pinch Hit is listed in. In your comment or email the mods will need to know 1) the amount of wordcount you would like to claim, 2) the exact username of the AO3 account you will be posting your fill(s) from, and 3) an email where the mods can reach you. You don't need to have a dreamwidth account to comment, you can comment anon!

We currently have 18 pinch hits we're still looking for creators for! If you're looking for an extra challenge, check out the post!
