I'm so grateful to our pinch hitters! 5,000 words or 5 pages is a big commitment without any guarantee of a gift in return.

A number of people are writing pinch hits but didn’t sign up for the exchange, and we’d like to give them the opportunity to leave prompts for treats. Treats for pinch hitters go in the same location as treats for anyone else, in the main collection.

If you picked up a pinch hit, aren’t signed up for the exchange, and would appreciate treats, please leave your AO3 name in a comment here along with the fandoms you’re interested in. You can specify characters/relationships, fic or comics, genres, prompts, and DNWs--as much detail as you'd like. Linking to past letters is also fine.

not the cruel slop of prison gruel seasoned with the unshed tears of endangered species,

a third thing, the slop of memory, of abject creativity imbued with the magic fragrance of artisanal, single source roasted coffee beans and the flickering of florescent lights and the cacophony of the way busy baristas bustle around silent patrons with soulful eyes glued to their laptops, silence and commotion linked together like the brain waves of a fic writer coexisting with writer's block.

I can't decide if it's funnier if 1D is still in its boyband heyday, or if they're 30+ doing their own thing and yet somehow, someone can still be sold to One Direction.

They hadn't expected a slave this week and weren't even on the same continent.

You'd think they'd be used to it by now. It's been, what, 25 years since the first fan was sold to them by their parents?

Severance Analysis

Mysterious Work & Alienation of Labor in Severance by me (comment on Dreamwidth)
Severance employs a fantastical scenario at an imaginary company to depict a phenomenon that’s very real: the systematic alienation of labor. This theme has been widely remarked upon by those familiar with the framework, but not everyone is already familiar, and so it warrants explanation. To that end, this analysis presents a brief introduction to alienation as a concept, an in-depth exploration of how it applies to the characters of Severance, and some observations on how that theme relates to the real world.
The Brilliance of Severance's Disturbing Precision [video] by Thomas Flight
In an era where high-concept TV shows now feature impressive visual effects, sprawling fantasy worlds, and elaborate costume design and makeup, how does a show that mostly takes place in a white, windowless office end up being one of the most visually striking TV shows ever made?
A musical analysis of the Severance theme [video] by Charles Cornell
A tritone is very commonly thought of as one of the most dissonant intervals that you can play... So what we have here is consonance, dissonance, consonance, dissonance.

Optimus Prime's [ro]bussy must be shallow as hell for that to feel good...

For the record I’m picturing his rectum to be the size of a rec room and poor little R2D2 is just zooming back and forth across the length of the floor like a glitched roomba trying to generate friction equivalent to the sensation of a thrust.
