2025 Assignments Sent (Pinchhit filled)

Sun, 21 Sep 2025 14:11:17 GMT

Posted by: pendulumscale

Assignments were sent to everyone this morning, and ~~1 pinchhit is needed~~ this pinchhit is filled! ~~If you can create something for any of the requests below, please reply to this post and include your ao3 name (comments are screened).~~ Thanks everyone for your patience and enthusiasm!

~~Fandom~~	~~Characters & Relationships~~	~~Prompt~~
~~SAEKO: Giantess Dating Game~~	~~Kaiji (Ultimate Survivor Kaiji)/Saeko (SAEKO)~~	OK this is too fun to pass up. It's gotta be Saeko dom, right? Kaiji is a little person as one of Saeko's captures. How's the ultimate survivor get out? Does he work his way into becoming a foreman (it seems out of character for him to offer people to get eaten, so that's something to be considered), or does he gamble his out to safety? Or maybe there's a gamble with Saeko where losing is how he becomes a little person. Perhaps Saeko pulls him out of the drawer to have fun like she would any other toy? If Kaiji was to get eaten, what's his special flavor?
~~The Malazan Book of the Fallen - Steven Erikson~~	~~Onos T'oolan/Toc the Younger~~	Before I say anything, unfortunately I have not read all the books of this series yet - I'm only now starting Bonehunters, so please only anything set before that novel. 🙏 I just think their friendship is a beautiful thing, especially at the end of Memories of Ice when they have new bodies and go their separate ways. I'd appreciate anything, art or fic, that captures their camaraderie or feel free to make that something more. Can love between a 100,000 year old cursed zombie and a one eyed spy bloom on a battlefield? Probably. Also all the flirting with Lady Envy is very cute. I guess I didn't tag her but she could be in there too. DNW: Spoilers for books after (publishing order) Night of Knives (2004).
~~シルバー事件 \| The Silver Case (Video Games)~~	~~Kuroyanagi Shinko/Shiroyabu Mokutaro~~	These two are like, freaks, right? It's been a while but there's no way Kuroyanagi has any emotional connection to Shiroyabu outside of a senpai/kouhai relationship at work, right? A lot of the HC unit takes good care of Shiroyabu but Kuro just berates him endlessly. Isn't that interesting? Is there anything under all that bluster? And Shiroyabu goes off the deepend at the end... But I imagine Kuroyanagi using Shiroyabu like a toy. It can be sexual, I'm OK with it being dubcon if you want. Don't forget she's called the Japanese Dirty Harry.
~~Star Wars: Ahsoka (TV)~~	~~CT-9901 \| Hunter/Baylan Skoll~~	OK I didn't suggest this tag but if someone wants it I'm all for it, I never thought of this and if you can breathe some life into it that's awesome. Hunter would be getting on in years, and I haven't thought much about Baylan at all but he's a big handsome man. What could happen, they hit it off in a cantina somehow? Baylan was a bounty hunter so there's some crossover there with Hunter. Meet up during a bounty? Do they hit it off or immediately hate each other? Baylan would recognize Hunter as a clone, but how would he respond to that? Are they set up in conflict but have to work together against another threat? Doesn't need to be romantic.
~~機動戦士ガンダム \| Mobile Suit Gundam (TV 1979)~~	~~Sayla Mass/Kai Shiden~~	Sayla's way out of Kai's league but isn't that just wonderful. Kai, the little shithead, and Sayla the perfect princess... after the war Kai's now a serious journalist and secretly a spy out there putting his life on the line. That's pretty cool huh? Sayla adopts a role taking care of war orphans, or a financial investor, or probably both, depending on your source. In any case, she doesn't give up the fight but does so in a more indirect way, since she's through with fighting. Kai visits her at least once after the Gryps Conflict but is there more to that? It's fun to think about isn't it. Talking about old times, one thing leads to another... I prefer Sayla top, I don't think Kai should be so presumptuous to initiate anything, he's nice and respectful. I do like the idea they're both pent up from being so busy in their lives...

10 Items or Less 2025 Masterpost

Sun, 24 Aug 2025 14:18:02 GMT

Posted by: pendulumscale

The 10 Items or Less Exchange welcomes authors and artists from all fandoms to request and create works for any ship with 10 works or less on ao3. Ships must be tagged with a / (no & for this exchange).

Ao3 collection | FAQ | Tag Set | Nomination Form | Sign Up Form | Ao3 AutoMagic Request Sorter

Schedule

~~Nominations: Aug 24-Sept. 6 (closes at 7:00 PM ET)~~

~~Sign Ups Open: Sept. 7 at 9:00 AM ET~~

~~Sign Ups Close: Sept. 21 at 9:00 AM ET~~

~~Assignments Due: Oct. 25 by 11:59 PM ET (Countdown~~)

~~Works Revealed: Oct. 26 at 9:00 AM ET~~

Nominations

Nominations take place for 2 weeks, and participants are allowed to nominate 5-10 ships for unique fandoms. Ships must have 10 or fewer works in their tag, allowing for use of otp: true (See this post on otp: true for more info). RPF is allowed as long as the people requested are 18 or over. Character/Reader and OC/Character ships are not allowed since that's not the focus of this event. This event uses the honor system for nominations, so if I'm told that a ship does not fit this criteria, it will be deleted from the nomination pool.

Sign ups

Sign ups will take place over 2 weeks. Participants can sign up with 5-10 requested ships and can share an optional sign up letter. DNWs are limited to only 10 bullet points and must be listed in the ao3 sign up or else they will be unenforceable. You may share as many likes or prompts as you'd like! All mediums are welcome for this event, and requests may not be limited to only fic or only art.

You ~~may~~ must offer fills for 10 fandoms (ao3 set this as the max limit) with up to 20 ships per fandom in your sign up. It's strongly encouraged that you offer fandoms and ships outside of what you requested in your sign up to increase the odds that you'll be matchable. If you want to sort current requests, look here https://autoao3app.firebaseapp.com/#/10ItemsOrLess_2025.

Once match ups happen, if you cannot be matched, I will make a pinchhitter post on Dreamwidth and allow 2 weeks for claims. If you are still unmatchable after this, unfortunately your request will need to be dropped from the event.

Creation Period

Participants create their fanworks over 1 month. All mediums are welcome for this event, and there is no minimum for any medium. If you personally would be happy receiving the fanwork you're creating, then it is welcome in this event. If not, then try again, idk lol :).

If you think you'll need to drop out after you've been given an assignment, please contact the mod immediately via email at whimwitch @ protonmail . com (remove spaces). If you drop out without ever saying anything and do not post your fanwork during the posting period, you will be banned from participating in future runs of this exchange.

Posting

All works must be posted and revealed by the posting deadline. Works will be anonymous for 1 week, then authors/artists will be revealed after this. If you want your piece to remain anonymous after reveals, add it to the anonymous collection. ANONYMOUS WORKS MUST ALSO BE PART OF THE 10 ITEMS OR LESS COLLECTION! DO NOT SUBSTITUTE THE ANON COLLECTION FOR THIS EXCHANGE! You can de-anon at any time by removing your work from the anonymous collection.

Works must be complete by the posting deadline. If a work is not posted by the deadline, it will be assumed that you've dropped out without warning. Extensions are not granted for this exchange.

Please thank your gifter for their work after your receive it! This is not an enforced rule, but it's super rude to not verbally acknowledge someone that created something for you.
