Pinch Hitters Needed

[jenn_calaelen]

As we get closer to the deadline (and probably just afterwards), there will be more pinch hits needed. There is only a short amount of time to write these, but we won't be opening the archive until there is a story for everyone (who initially signed up and did not default). Thus it is very helpful, if you have time/energy, for people to keep an eye on the pinch hit list and volunteer if they can.
Online list archive: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/not-primetime-pinch-hits

Currently we have two outstanding pinch hits:

Fandoms: The Pretender, Rurouni Kenshin, Slayers (Anime & Manga), Weiß Kreuz
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/not-primetime-pinch-hits/d__FCG3gTco

Fandoms: The Losers (2010), Push (2009), Young Justice (Cartoon), St Trinian's (2007 2009)
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/not-primetime-pinch-hits/Mj8I6nxhgsY

If you are interested in writing for either of these please email the mods.

The pinch hit currently outstanding is for me. Would it help if I came up with prompts in other fandoms? I'd need to dig up the link for the list of nominated fandoms, but I could do it.

If there are other fandoms you'd be happy to receive a story in, then it would be helpful.

Try these. I think more people know these fandoms.

Chronicles of Narnia - C.S. Lewis
Any
I'm interested in different perspectives on canonical events. I'm interested in the stories of minor characters. I'm interested in Animals being people while definitely not being human. I'd prefer gen in this fandom. I don't have a strong objection to movie canon, in theory, but I don't know the movies very well at all.

Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold
Any
I haven't yet read Captain Vorpatril's Alliance, so I'd prefer to avoid fic dealing with that. I'm most curious about the thoughts and experiences of the supporting characters, those who seldom get a voice, but I wouldn't say no to adventures with Miles or Cordelia or whoever you choose. I like the humor in the series and the way it addresses serious issues without being heavy. I'm not so enthusiastic about the emphasis on pairing off heterosexually and reproducing (I don't object to some people doing it. I just don't think everybody needs to).

Labyrinth (1986)
Any
I'm not big on the idea of romance between Sarah and Jareth. The age and power differentials are too much for me in most cases. I'm willing to be convinced if you're really into that, but on the whole, I'd prefer gen. I'm fascinated by the idea of the Labyrinth. It almost seems like a living thing. How often do humans wander in and why? What happens to them? Does Jareth rule all of the denizens of the Labyrinth? Does it mean something more that Sarah solved the Labyrinth and defeated Jareth?

Doctor Who (1963)
Any
Seven was my first Doctor and so remains my favorite. I'm also fond of Four and Five, but I'm familiar with and like all of them. I at least recognize all of the nominated companions, so I expect I'd be fine with a story featuring any of them. I like the sense that anything could happen. Doctor Who crosses over with other fandoms in interesting ways, so if you happen to know one of my other fandoms and want to go there, I wouldn't object to a crossover.

Thank you! I'll send these out to the pinch hit list (and with those fandoms, I am sure that someone will volunteer).
