Pinch-Hitter Sign-Ups 2012

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

This is the post for people who would like to pinch-hit fic for this challenge. Sign-ups will be open until the challenge ends.

Authors will be expected to write a fic with a minimum of 3,000 words, based on the art. As pinch-hits become available, we will contact you by e-mail and give you 24 hours to accept the prompt and deadline before we reach out to another pinch-hitter. This year, we will be trying a new system where we e-mail everyone (under blind carbon copy) pinch-hits as they become available and give them to whoever accepts them first. We hope this will reduce the time it takes to find a pinch-hitter. If problems occur we may end up reverting to the old system of e-mailing individuals and giving them 24 hours to accept the prompt and deadline before reaching out to a new pinch-hitter, which is why we will still be asking for the same information as last year.

Fics must be beta read. You may refer to our beta-sign up post to contact people who have volunteered to help out, or use your own betas (we will not be assigning betas in this challenge).

Will pinch hitters get a posting deadline towards the end of the schedule?

:)

Most likely. The date we would need the pinch-hit by will be included in the offer before you accept.

I already have a fic to write and my dateline is on 23rd I think.

Lets say you have 20 arts for pinch hits. Then you'll offer the pinch hitters all the 20? And we're free to pick?

Is it okay if in the end we choose not to pick any of it because the posting date will disturb the fic that we already commit to?

I just put down my name down, and I'm happy to take something on if it suits, but I'm just wondering if you send through a pinch-hit is it okay for me to 'decline' the offer simply if the prompt doesn't interest me? It sort of feels petty after just filling out what I 'can' and 'want to' write, but obviously coming up with 3k words is gonna be a stretch if the prompt doesn't inspire me at all.
Just wondering, thanks~

We're offering pinch-hits to people one at a time. You are free to turn down any pinch-hit you are offered.

Yes, you can reject prompts.

Is there a way to see what's left for pinch authors? I finished the one I committed to, and wouldn't mind taking a look at the others.

For you and any other pinch-hitters who see this: The open prompts are all listed on the final posting schedule with the authors as "TBA." You'll have to match the prompt numbers to the artwork in scrapbook yourselves, though.
