The Fine Art of Pinch-Hitting

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

Since we've already had a question about signing up to pinch-hit, here's how we do it! If you think you might be interested in volunteering, join and track the Pinch-Hitter's Dugout: spnrbb_pinchhit.

When a piece of art becomes writerless, we will post it there and the first kind soul to claim it, gets it. We'll then work up a new deadline with the pinch-hitter and hopefully, all is well from there on out!

It's important for an author to really commit to writing when claiming a piece of art in the first place--no artist likes feeling abandoned--but if you feel you cannot complete the fic you've claimed, regardless of reason, please let us know ASAP so the pinch-hitter has the most time possible to write. There is no shame in admitting you can't finish a fic; life gets in the way sometimes! Vanishing and leaving us and the artist in the lurch, however, is not awesome.

Thanks again for signing up, everyone. Here's hoping this is a fantastic RBB year!

Hi! Thanks for replying to my question in the FAQ thread. Please count me in as a pinch hitter!

One other question... if pinch hitting would I work on the prompt from scratch or pick up where the
starting author left off. I've done both in the past and I'm usually good at matching another writer's
voice if I've some idea where they were going. I write for a living and am always in someone else's
voice... so, just asking how it's done here. Thanks... Lisa

If you end up picking up a prompt for a pinch it, you write your own story for it, from scratch. Only rules are that it has to be related to the art prompt and meet the 3'000 word requirement.

No problem... can do! Thanks!

As long as it's not RPF, I can lend a hand.

You don't have to beta any RPF if it's not your thing, no worries! Pop over to the spnrbb_pinchhit and follow the comm, if you haven't already. Thanks!

I"m new to this, but would love to give pinch hitting a go.

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

Fantastic! Just pop over to the comm, if you haven't already, and join and watch the community. You might want to sign up for notifications, so that when a pinch hitter is needed, you'll get word of it in your email. Thanks!

If there is any need, I'd love to pinch hit!

Since I actually have some free time on my hands, I'm putting in for pinch-hit too, if there's a need.

[dreamerjules.livejournal.com]

I'll be happy to pinch hit if you need it. No RPF or Wincest though.

[spnreversemod.livejournal.com]

Just pop on over to spnrbb_pinchhit and join/follow/watch the comm, if you haven't already. Thank bunches!

[dreamerjules.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

Oops, forgot bout this... but could help??

Completely forgot about this - been having a down time with all things SPN. But, if desperate for pinch-hitter or beta, would still like to be involved. Otherwise next year...
Look forward to the stories,
Pinky
