All pinch hits have been claimed thanks to our amazing pinch hitters, but to give them time to complete their works, there will be another delay and works will now be revealed on February 20th, 10PM PST. [Countdown] [In Your Timezone]

If anything comes up between now and then, I will make another update.

If you are a pinch hitter who hasn't signed up for the exchange or someone who would like to treat a pinch hitter, there is a post for Pinch Hitter Prompts.

Any questions/concerns can be left on this post (anon is on, screening isn't) or you can email rarefemslashexchange@gmail.com.

The deadline has officially passed. Anyone who does not have an extension or have submitted a completed work will be defaulted. There will be a list of post deadline pinch hits posted within the next few hours.

Please make sure that your assignment is not in draft mode. If it, you will be considered defaulted as well.

If you have changed your username since assignments went out, please reach out via email at rarefemslashexchangemod@gmail.com so the records can be updated.

Many people have extensions so don't worry if you don't have a gift and aren't on the upcoming pinch hit post. However, you are more than welcome to reach out via email if you want to make sure or have any other questions/concerns.

In the meantime, if you are a Pinch Hitter who didn't sign up or want to treat a pinch hitter, you can check out the Pinch Hitter's Prompts Post.

There's also the AO3 app to find others to treat as well.

Any questions can be left here too - anon is on, but screening isn't so please don't give out any details that will de-anon you.

Good luck to those still working!

There is less than 24 hours until assignments are due. The deadline is on February 7th, 10PM PST. [Countdown] [In Your Timezone]

If you need an extension, please reach out via email at rarefemslashexchangemod@gmail.com with your ao3 name, your recip's, and how long you will need. You don't need to give a reason/explanation why you need one. The maximum extension that will be given is 72 hours. Extensions will be accepted until the deadline and once that is passed, they won't be handed out anymore and you will be defaulted.

Please reach out if your username has been changed since assignments went out as well, just to make things easier to keep track of.

There are currently six pinch hits, which you can find here.

Pinch Hits will only be updated after the deadline has passed.

If you are a pinch hitter that isn't signed up to the exchange or would like to treat a pinch hitter, you are welcome to leave a request at the Pinch Hitter's Prompts post.

Good luck to everyone working on their assignments! If you have any questions, feel free to email or leave them in the comments (anonymous is on, screening isn't so please be careful not to reveal any information that will reveal your assignment/recip). :)
