ladystuck(a quick and dirty guide)
In an exchange like Ladystuck, drop-outs and defaults are nigh-inevitable. Of course we hope that everyone will post their story or illustration on time, but experience tells us this almost never happens. That's where pinch-hitters come in! Pinch-hitters are wonderful people who, out of the goodness of their hearts, cover the assignments of Ladystuck participants who have dropped out, so that everyone in the exchange will have a piece of fic or art just for them when the collection opens. They're the ones, more than anything else, who make challenges like ours run smoothly.
Anyone can sign up to pinch-hit; you don't have to be a Ladystuck participant. If you are interested in writing or drawing something cool about ladies, not to mention being a Big Damn Hero in the eyes of your moderators, we encourage you to sign up for the pinch-hitters' mailing list.
Here's how it'll work: during the challenge, the two of us will send pinch-hits out to the mailing list. You read the pinch-hit assignment, and if you're interested, reply to the email with your AO3 username. (If you don't have an AO3 account, you can still sign up to pinch-hit! Just be sure to let us know you need an account when you claim an assignment. We will get an invite to you so that you can post your fanwork to the challenge :>) We will assign the pinch-hit to the first person who responds.
Thank you for your time! And again, pinch-hitters is good people, so we are endlessly grateful to anyone who volunteers for the task. ♥
