Thanks to everyone who has checked in so far! If you haven't had a chance yet, or you've been debating whether to continue or default, please make your decision and respond by 11:59pm EST, 30 November (see countdown).

For checking in, please click on this link and check in at the previous post.

Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means [staff profile] karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.

Pinch hits are participants who are without creators; pinch hitting is the practice of volunteering to make a gift for a pinch hit. These pinch hits are all due on December 5th at 10:00 PM EST.

Fic In A Box has a very unusual set of assignment requirements: everyone is owed (and is asking for) 10k of fanfiction, which by default can be given as one 10k+ fic or several 1k+ fics. Participants have also had the option to opt-in to other minimum lengths or to other formats of fanwork. The other fanwork mediums are given word count equivalents, which you can view on the medium ruleset post.

Additionally:

  • Fic In A Box creators may default after partially filling their assignment—say, if they discover that they can only write 9k of fic—and PHs can be picked up in 1k increments!
  • You may always swap all or part of your assignment for a PH, just let us know that's what you're doing when you post to claim the PH.

In order to pick up a pinch hit you need to either email us or comment on this post (comments are screened) with:

  • The amount of wordcount you would like to claim (even if you're going to do fanart or some other non-fic opt-in medium! If you aren't sure what the equivalent would be, we'd be happy to help you convert it!)
  • The exact username of the AO3 account you will be posting your fill(s) from (if you post from a different account from the one you give us, we won't be able to count the PH as filled unless you update us!)
  • An email where we can reach you (you might not be getting the AO3 assignment when you pick up a PH, so we need to know where to send the assignment!)

PH 12 - CLAIMED - 鹿鼎記 - 金庸 | The Deer and the Cauldron - Louis Cha, 鹿鼎記 | The Duke of Mount Deer (Hong Kong 1984), 老洞 | The Old Miao Myth (TV), 神鵰俠侶 | The Return of the Condor Heroes (TV 1983) )

PH 101 - CLAIMED - 少年歌行 | The Blood of Youth (Live Action TV), 少年白马醉春风 | Dashing Youth (Live Action TV), Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo, Kuroko no Basuke | Kuroko's Basketball )

PH 129 - CLAIMED - 괴담에 떨어져도 출근을 해야 하는구나 - 백덕수 | Even If I Fall Into a Ghost Story I Still Have to Go to Work - Baek Deoksoo, 내가 키운 S급들 - 근서 | S-Classes that I Raised - Geunseo, 전지적 독자 시점 - 싱숑 | Omniscient Reader - Sing-Shong (Novel), Omniscient Reader - singNsong & UMI & Sleepy-C (Webtoon), 내가 키운 S급들 | The S-Classes That I Raised (Webcomic) )

PH 134 - CLAIMED - InuYasha - A Feudal Fairy Tale, Dragonriders of Pern - Anne McCaffrey, Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) )

PH 138 - CLAIMED - Given (Anime), 呪術廻戦 | Jujutsu Kaisen (Anime), Given (Manga), Wind Breaker (Anime), 呪術廻戦 | Jujutsu Kaisen (Manga) )

One Week Delay!

The reveals date is being delayed one week to December 6th at 10 PM EST (countdown) to allow time for pinch hits to be finished! Updates on the posted schedules and a new PH post will be put up shortly!

All currently assigned pinch hits have been updated to a due date of November 28th at 10 PM EST unless they were already due that day. You may ask for an additional extension to December 3rd!

Pinch Hits picked up from this point will have a due date of December 5th at 10 PM EST.

If at any point you don't believe you can complete a PH, please default immediately. If you do end up being able to complete the PH you can always pick it back up later!

If you're looking for people to treat, don't forget to check the comments of the pinch hitter post (link)! These are pinch hitters who aren't signed up to the exchange, and it would be lovely if some (or all!) of them got treats!

Hello! The kaiju awake from their slumber! It is check-in week. ETA: Check-in week has now passed!

Check-in protocolIf you have any open or incomplete assignments [see exceptions at end of post], please consider which of the three scenarios below describes you, and check in accordingly.

1. Things aren't great. You don't think you can complete your assignment(s) by 24 January 2026.
Please go to AO3 and press 'default' on your assignment(s). You don't need to comment here, or contact me with a reason; whatever reason you have is good enough, and I wish you well. If you default on your assignment(s) before the end of the check-in period, you are welcome to sign up to all future rounds, as long as you also comment on any gifts you've received.

2. Your situation is complicated and you want to ask a question.
Sure! Please contact me at mod.modzilla@gmail.com. Please include your AO3 name and your recipient's name(s).

3. You expect to complete your assignment(s).
Great! Please comment below with the following information:



You don't need a Dreamwidth account to comment, but if you're commenting without logging in on Dreamwidth, and you want me to email you to confirm the check-in, please say so. (If you comment while logged in, you'll get a notification when I reply.)

You do NOT need to give me any details of your progress or any samples of your work as part of your check-in. I don't need to know where you're up to right now (though it's interesting!) as long as you have a plan that works for you. If you want to, because it would amuse me/yourself, consider including a line from your fic or telling me about something that happens in your fic or comic. Or a thing you've researched, or a thing that you've had to cut. Any notes you add are entirely optional.

Or just fill out the first four questions. That's fine.

If you have more than one recipient on the go (thanks and good luck), please give check-in information for each recipient. They can be in the same comment.

If you're planning to post two half-length works to fulfil your assignment, please let me know, and I'll send you a second assignment so you can fulfil both through AO3's interface. This is easier for me to keep track of than one assignment and one treat. It's okay if you change your mind closer to the deadline.


Comments are screened. I will not start replying immediately, but I'll reply to comments from logged-in DW users, and if you ask me to reply by email, I will do that.

New this year: I will also, in the next couple of days, email all participants who need to check in to alert you to this post.


Please leave your comment by 11:59pm EST, 30 November (see countdown).

If you do not comment confirming that you are still an active participant in the exchange, I will default you and send recipients to pinch hit by approx December 2-3.


Participants who don't need to check in
-People who have already posted in full (congrats!!)
-People who have pressed or who are now pressing the default button
-People who have previously participated and who have confirmed with me they don't need to check in (f, G)
-People who recently picked up pinch hits for ...

[personal profile] modzilla posting in [community profile] fffx
FFFX stands for Five Figure Fanwork Exchange. It is a multifandom gift exchange for fanfic of 10,000+ words, and for comics of least 10 pages or at least 40 panels. FFFX is part of the Triple Crown multi-event challenge ([community profile] triplecrownofexchanges)

Click/expand this details tag to see more explanations, covering assignment swaps, check-in week, and other topics

*How do assignment swaps work? This exchange allows you to trade in your current assignment for a different one. This is intended as a safety net. Maybe you tried a new fandom to match a request and it didn't work out. Maybe you matched on something safe, but fell in love with something else after assignments went out. Whether you can swap to the new assignment of your choice will depend on several factors, including whether several other people are already creating for it. You can ask for any other assignment before September 21. Between September 21, 2025, and the main deadline of January 24, 2026, you can still trade in the assignment you hold for another one, but only if the one you want is listed as a pinch hit.

If you're writing a letter, I recommend you finish it during sign-ups so that your assigned creator can use it right away, but that doesn't always happen. So there's a hard deadline: please complete any linked letters by September 21; if you are matched to a recipient whose letter is incomplete after September 21, you are welcome to ask to swap to any other recipient throughout the exchange.


**What is Check-In Week? This is when you contact the mod on a check-in post at this community to confirm that you are committed to fulfilling your assignment(s). If you do not check in, you will be defaulted.


FFFX follows the pattern of many other Archive-of-Our-Own-based multifandom exchanges. The pool of available fandoms is created by nominations (eight fandoms, with six characters or relationships each, per person, with selective additions possible during sign-ups). When signing up, you can offer and request as few as four fandoms (one for offers), with one character or relationship in each, or as many as ten fandoms, with ten relationships in each. You will match on one of those characters or relationships (OR matching). FFFX allows original works prompts. FFFX does not match on freeform tags or rating.

Because this is an exchange for long works and many creators like to have something to go on, you must fill out your AO3 requests with your choice of the following: prompts, or notes on what appeals to you about a fandom, or general likes, or some combination of these.

Fandom promotion posts and guides to where your canon can be found are encouraged.


The mod can be reached at mod.modzilla@gmail.com as well as through this Dreamwidth community.
