Delay & PHs #18, 28, 32, 39, 53, 62, 64, 65, 67-69
Feb. 16th, 2026 09:12 ammodzilla posting in fffxSince we have several outstanding pinch hits, I am announcing a two-week delay to the remainder of the exchange schedule. Reveals will now occur at 5pm EST on March 14, and creator reveals will occur on March 28. I'm sorry to everyone who was hoping for reveals on time, and who has put work in to make that happen, but I'm hopeful that this will allow creators enough time to make good gifts for everyone who doesn't have one yet.
Therefore, the following pinch hits are due at 11:59pm EST, Sunday 8 March. To claim, please reply with your AO3 name, and let me know which recipient/PH number you want. You're also welcome to claim by emailing mod.modzilla@gmail.com.
If you have a current pinch hit, I'm happy to discuss extensions. However, your deadline is not automatically extended. Please contact me if you'd like more time.
Minimum requirements: An art gift must be a completed comic at least 10 pages or 40 panels long; a fic gift must be a story at least 10,000 words long. You can also fulfil a pinch hit by giving two complete half-length works, if your recipient has opted into that for the fandom(s) you are creating in. Any work must be for a fandom your recipient has requested and one character/relationship/worldbuilding tag requested in that fandom, and must avoid their DNWs.
Pinch hits can now be claimed in 5k or 20-panel increments if the recipient has opted into receiving half-length works. Please say in your claim if you're claiming a pinch hit for 5k (fic) or 20 panels (comic), and for what fandom.
