This is the Pinch Hitter Round of the Fic Claims for the 2025 round of WIPRB. You may claim as many art projects as you want as a pinch hitter, but please note that if you put more than one choice down for a pinch hit, you are agreeing to take as many art claims listed that are available that you have listed (so if you only want one claim, put one choice down as First Choice; if you want two to three claims, put your top choices in the appropriate slots and we will assume that's your order of preference; if you want more than three claims, put down your top three in order in one form, then your remaining claims in order of preference in another form. Do not put one claim in a new form if you are claiming multiple art projects! You do not have to pick a username for these.

The form is located at https://forms.gle/p2pBpyoimH1L5d146.

If you are signing up to do pinch hit fic for WIPRB, you and your project partner are encouraged to pick a posting date that works best for both of you when posting date claims open August 23rd, but pinch hitters are allowed to post in December while their artist posts earlier. Pinch Hit Claims will go on until at least August 21st, though we may extend it if there is a significant amount of projects that are remaining unclaimed. An art project is crossed out when it is claimed and can no longer be asked for.

WE HAVE MADE CHANGES TO THE SCHEDULE AND FAQ - PLEASE READ!
So the other mods and I had talked about tweaking the schedule when I realized Check-In #4 was supposed to go live August 6th, which is less than two weeks after Check-In #3 had ended so that made no sense. We had planned on doing it for the 2026 round but I'm going to institute the changes now.

Basically, we are getting rid of Rough Draft check-ins, and substituting Check-In #4 for that. We are moving Check-In #4 to the end of August, and this check-in is open to everyone. WIPBB writers and WIPRB artists as well as the WIPBB artists and WIPRB authors are allowed to check in during Check-In #4. Basically it's still optional, but this will give us a better idea of if you're ready to post or if you have any questions.

Posting Claims dates are going to stay the same, but this round for WIPRB participants, we are asking that if you are simply submitting your finished art and not getting a fic for it you pick a September or early to mid October posting date; if you are getting fic for your art, we want those later dates to be available so fic writers will have time to write the fic and get it beta read (optional but recommended).

We will have a "Final Check-In" of sorts that will be open during the entire posting period (September 8th to January 1st, which is when I will close the form). Basically, the Final Check-In is a form you will fill out with the link to your bragging rights post on Tumblr or Dreamwidth (or, if you are a WIPBB artist or a WIPRB writer who is not posting your own bragging rights, a link to your Tumblr, Dreamwidth or AO3 post). This is important, as it lets us know you have finished your project for WIPBB/WIPRB.

We also made edits to the FAQ that were going to go into effect in the 2026 round, but I am posting it this round since it's easier to copy/paste everything instead of just tweaking little bits. They are now pinned on the Tumblr and Dreamwidth blogs.
