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!

Pinch Hit #3

Request 1:

Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Israel Hands

Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet/Israel Hands

Time Loop

Whump

Hurt/Comfort

Time loop. Ed wakes up, wakes up, wakes up. Some days the plan goes fine. Some days it's fucked. Some days end with Izzy's blood on his hands. Some days don't. Sometimes it's Stede's. Sometimes it's his own.

What solves the timeloop is up to you -- I'm open to it resolving with Izzy's death anyway, but I'd like it to be earned. Ed/Izzy or Steddyhands please, though I'd be open to Ed&Izzy as long as they love each other.

If you give me top Izzy I will be yours forever.

General DNWs: omegaverse, dom/sub-verse, pregnancy, extreme humiliation/degradation, petplay, age regression (de-aging is fine), bathroom kinks, unhappy ending (bittersweet, cathartic, hopeful endings are all fine), explicit noncon, unrequited love, daddy kink.

Steddyhands specific DNWs: Stede domming Izzy. Stede calling Izzy ‘Israel.’ Unrequited Ed/Izzy in any form.

Request 2:

Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Israel Hands

Stede Bonnet/Israel Hands

Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet/Israel Hands

Pining

First Time

Hurt/Comfort

Possessive Behavior

Israel Hands Needs a Hug

Alternate Universe - Soulmates

Happy Ending

Izzy gets chosen, on purpose. Izzy gets to belong.

If soulmates, the choosing is the important part: whether that's a late-in-life soulmark, a mark that comes after they fall in love, a 'didn't know we were and actually thought otherwise,' a 'soulmates with other people,' or otherwise is up to you!

General DNWs: omegaverse, dom/sub-verse, pregnancy, extreme humiliation/degradation, petplay, age regression (de-aging is fine), bathroom kinks, unhappy ending (bittersweet, cathartic, hopeful endings are all fine), explicit noncon, unrequited love, daddy kink.

Steddyhands specific DNWs: Stede domming Izzy. Stede calling Izzy ‘Israel.’ Unrequited Ed/Izzy in any form.

Please DM me with your AO3 handle if you are interested in picking up this pinch hit (which means writing one or the other of the requests, containing at least one ship and at least one other tag listed in it)! The deadline for this pinch hit is January 10.

[nimonabigbang]

What is this project about :0

The Big Bang is a challenge where Nimona fan creators can come together to write stories with a minimum of 5000 words, no maximum, and with the excerpt, summary and tags, the artists part of the event get to pick who they would like to work with.

We will also hopefully have writer and artist pinch hitters who are people who will fill in the roles of participants who needed to drop out whether due to life or other situations that could prevent them from engaging in event all together.

I do have moderator forms open, they are questions to let me know how you would react/respond to a situation as professionally as you can muster whether someone is being rude or is just not following posting guidelines.

I do however need at most 6 mods, 2 writer, 2 artist, 1 beta reader, and 1 to run the entire event with me because I need more people to help me with check ins and being a college student I can get quite swamped.

If that answers your questions, great, if not, feel free to look around the blog as your answer might be there somewhere. If the question is still not answered, let me know and I should have an answer.

Thanks for the question!

*Ringing a large bell*

As we get closer to the deadline, we have had a few more people who've had to drop their projects and thus, we are looking for pinch-hit writers. Are you able to take any of these projects?

PH16 is a Pirates SMP au focusing on Bekyamon, Willowmvp, Good times with Scar, Michela darkeyebrows, with shipping allowed but not the main focus. The AU is "Revival but came back super wrong au, canon divervgence" with themes of cult activity and religion. The author is open to Major Character Death, and they're a minor who is open to working with writers of all ages. CLAIMED

PH17 is a Dream SMP au focusing on Tommyinnit and Wilbur Soot, a Rebirth! au based on the webstoon Rebirth! (If you're not familiar with Rebirth, it's got elements of time loops, zombie apocolypse, superpowers, and modern au), focused on a platonic relationship. The author is open to Graphic Depictions of Violence or MCD, or you could go the other direction and do adoption narratives and fluff— they've opted into it all! The artist is a minor who is open to working with all ages. CLAIMED

PH7 is a a Life Series AU focusing on TangoTek, LDShadowLady, BdoubleO100, with platonic relationships being the focus. It's a detective/Mystery/Horror/Modern AU. The author has opted into Major Character Death and Graphic Depictions of Violence, and a wide list of fandom themes including everything from Body Horror to Hybrid Instincts and Neurodiverse or disability headcanons, so the options are broad!

To fill these pinch hits we need 5k inspired by these art pieces, and the deadline is the 26th of July, but extensions are available if that works for you! To pick up one of these pinch hits (or to look at the art in detail), join the discord and talk to one of the mods!

Is everyone ready? TMRSS22 Wrapped read? Tin foil hats in place? Bingo cards to hand? 

All will now be revealed…!!

Here are the TMRSS 2022 Santas!!

Thanks so much to our fabulous santas, who worked very hard to create a lovely and diverse sleigh-load of gifts with which to bless our little fandom! What a fabulous range of festive tmr content for us all to enjoy this year. 

We hope that you all had fun participating in TMRSS22, both creating and receiving your gifts, and thank you so much to those of you who have shared your excitement, both here on tumblr and in our tmr discord. We have really appreciated seeing all your reblogs, screaming, livereads and guesses; not only is it a wonderful act of celebration of all the hard work that our santas put in, but it encourages us tmrss elves and keeps us going! 

Please do continue to reblog and share the creations! Reblog, rec, tag, comment - show our santas some love!

Santas: 

if you want to post your creations on your own blogs, or anywhere else, go for it! 

We’d be really, really grateful if you could tag/mention “tmrss22″ when you do 🥺🙏 

Also, go ahead and publicly thank your betas, cheerleaders, or pets if you want to - there’s no longer any need for secrecy! 🙅‍♀️🕵️‍♀️ (We can let you know who your betas were, if yours was arranged through our tmrss system.)

We’d like to personally thank the following people:

@whiterubys for designing our fabulous banner and icon - check out Anne’s blog for more gorgeous gifs and edits! 

Our wonderful pinch hitters: @seaselkie and @persnickett and kind beta readers: @dont-bee-shy @newtedison @itsthemxze​ @comebacknow and @persnickett (times a million ♥️♥️)

You’re all absolute ⭐STARS⭐ and we appreciate your help so very much!! We could not run tmrss without betas who are so generous with their time, or without having amazing pinch hitters who we can trust and rely on; you’re absolutely crucial to the event and to making sure that nobody is left without a gift. Thank you, tmrss angels!!!!!!! 😍👏
