worldbuildingexMar 19, 2021: This post is no longer being updated. Please refer to whatever is the most recent post in the pinch hits tag.
Here are the current pinch hits - the deadline for these pinch hits will be 0755 UTC on Tuesday 23rd March, though this is negotiable.
If you know of any fandom-specific venues where it might be worthwhile advertising these pinch hits, please do let me know or feel free to do so yourself. Many thanks to those who have already been advertising pinch hits elsewhere.
The next pinch hit post will go up on 19th March after the deadline has passed. (Countdown to main assignment deadline.) Please do get in touch if you think you might need an extension.
To claim a pinch hit, please comment here (comments are screened), clearly indicating your AO3 name and the pinch hit you would like to take. Claiming comments will not generally be replied to; if you don't receive an AO3 assignment for your desired pinch hit within ~24 hours and you see it marked claimed, you can assume that it has gone to someone else.
To discuss anything about a pinch hit, including possible alterations to the deadline, you can send email to worldbuildingmod@gmx.com, or if you have a dreamwidth account send a direct message; alternatively, if you comment on this post while logged-in, you will be able to see my reply.

**This is a pretty loose dnw for this fandom, given that the canon leans very hard on the line between straight scifi and science fantasy; it acts like it's grounded future dystopia, speculative but not fantastic, but... well. Based on canon events, I can't fully consider it as such--so as long as you keep the surface elements more or less the same, no matter what the underlying justification for them is we'll be good. Is your explanation Aliens Did It? sweet, go for it. or anything else in that vein. this world is your oyster.
fandom-specific dnw--all of this is for the narrative level (not addressing it is fine; having characters who believe or do these things is fine): eugenics apologetics; segregation portrayed as good for society/the people living under it; infantilization of disabled characters; portrayal of low-prestige dialects as being "bad grammar" versions of higher-prestige dialects

Pinch Hit #15 - Kado: The Right Answer, The City & the City, Roadside Picnic, Goblin Emperor, Culture, Imperial Radch, Heart of Gold - CLAIMED!
Request 1 by Gammarad
正解するカド | Kado: The Right Answer
WB: Reactions to Anisotropic Technology outside Japan (Kado), WB: Humans Exploring the Anisotropic (Kado), WB: Half-Human and Half-Anisotropic Existence (Kado), WB: Daily Life in the Anisotropic (Kado), WB: Applications of Wam (Kado), Original Anisotropic Character(s) (Kado), Original Character(s) (Kado), Shinawa Kanata (Kado), Shindou Yukika (Kado), Any or No Characters (Kado), Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta
What I like about this fandom:
The attempt at communication and sharing between aliens and humans, and the way that attempt affects both. The enthusiasm and ingenuity with which the scientists study the new technology. The strangeness of the anisotropic and its technology. Even though it ends with a soft reset, I like to think that first of all, the main human character made it out to the anisotropic, and second, it's still affecting the world, only in subtler ways perhaps.
DNWs: Character bashing, "corrective" noncon, focus on underage sex or romance, cross-generational incest, incest between purely human characters, serious or permanent harm to cats (mentioned/past harm to cats is ok).

The City & the City - China Mieville
WB: Urban Infrastructure (The City & the City - China Mieville), WB: Relations with near geographical neighbors (The City & the City - China Mieville), WB: Folklore (The City & the City - China Mieville), Original Character(s) (The City & the City - China Mieville), Any or No Characters (The City & the City - China Mieville), Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta
What I like about this fandom:
The strangeness of the setting, and how interesting it is to imagine what it's like to live there. The contrast between the mundanity of the everyday life there and the superstition about Breach or supernatural elements of Breach, and how those could go either way.
DNWs: Character bashing, "corrective" noncon, focus on underage sex or romance, cross-generational incest, incest between purely human characters, serious or permanent harm to cats (mentioned/past harm to cats is ok).

Пикник на обочине - Братья Стругацкие | Roadside Picnic - Arkady & Boris Strugatsky
WB: Zones Other Than Harmont (Roadside Picnic), WB: Source of the Zones (Roadside Picnic), WB: Physical Anomalies in Zone Stalkers And Their Progeny (Roadside Picnic), WB: Future of the Zones (Roadside Picnic), WB: Artifacts from the Zones and Their Powers (Roadside Picnic), Any or No Characters (Roadside Picnic), Dina Burbridge (Roadside Picnic), Dr. Kirill Panov (Roadside Picnic), Dr. Valentine Pilman (Roadside Picnic), Original Alien Characters (Roadside Picnic), Redrick Schuhart (Roadside Picnic), Original Character(s) (Roadside Picnic), Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta
What I like about this canon: The strangeness of the place, the determination of the characters to investigate it and to keep putting themselves deeper in literal and metaphorical debt for what they seem to think is an infinite prize. The way it's strongly implied that the objects don't have the same meaning at all to the aliens who left them behind. The side effects and how little the characters seem to care, but how significant they might be to others in the same world (hence it's ripe for world-building fic).

What I like about this canon: The complexity and depth of the setting, the way it's integrated into the story, the subtlety of the magic and the way the mages form an extended family of sorts, the appealing minor characters scattered through the whole thing. The use of language, especially formal/informal pronouns in English, to give depth to dialogue. Mostly, I like everything about the book.
DNWs: Character bashing, "corrective" noncon, focus on underage sex or romance, blood-relative incest (= anything closer than first cousins), serious or permanent harm to cats (mentioned/past harm to cats is ok).

What I like about this canon: the wish fulfillment aspects of it, the humor, the demonstration of the real problems that still exist when scarcity and illness and aging are all fixed, the Minds, the enormous scale, the exploration of the virtual and the alien and the wide variety of characters and their wide variety of interests and hobbies. The elegiac feeling it often evokes when it's being more serious, too. My favorite books of the series are Look to Windward, Player of Games, Hydrogen Sonata, Surface Detail (in that order). My least favorites are Matter and Use of Weapons (also in that order). The others (Excession, Inversions, Consider Phlebas, State of the Art) are in-between; I've read them all, multiple times for all but the two least favorites.
DNW: focus on underage sex or romance, or romantic relationships that began when one character was not yet an adult but the other one was. Serious or permanent harm to cat-like pets (past or mention is fine). Any appearance of Zakalwe, whether under that name or any of his pseudonyms.

Imperial Radch Series - Ann Leckie
WB: Human Geck (Imperial Radch), WB: History of reverence for vestiges on Hwae (Imperial Radch), WB: Life in Compassionate Removal (Imperial Radch), Any or No Characters (Imperial Radch), Original Character(s) (Imperial Radch), Garal Ket | Pahlad Budrakim (Imperial Radch), Ingray Aughskold (Imperial Radch), Tic Uisine (Imperial Radch), Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta
I love the whole Imperial Radch series but I'm most interested in Provenance and its characters. If you want to combine these or make additional world-building topics in Provenance parts of the universe, I'm here for it. What I love about Provenance: the characters, the different cultures and how they all interact, the intensity of the strained relationships each of the nominated characters has with their parents and how those tie into the way their world is arranged -- the parental figures have used these characters to advance what they see as the right way of their cultures, and it's cost them all.
DNW: Focus on underage sex or romance (brief references not a problem if necessary for story or world-building), or romantic relationships that began when one character was not yet an adult but the other one was. Serious or permanent harm to cat-like pets (past or mention is fine).

What I like about this canon: Culture clash, matriarchy, biotechnology, interesting transportation system differences, the world it's set in and the characters. The story's attitude of everyone has a point, not making one side the good guys or the bad guys. Also I'm very fond of the color blue.
DNW: incest, underage sex, focus on underage romance, character bashing. Harm to cats or cat-like pets.

**This doesn't mean that I'd expect you to hew very narrowly to what we know for sure in canon; after all, this exchange is for worldbuilding. However, for this exchange I'd prefer not to have anything that fundamentally alters the character of the world--eg elements like a/b/o, or things like a post-canon zombie apocalypse in a canon where that doesn't really fit in with the established tone/genre/world, that sort of thing.

**This is a pretty loose dnw for this fandom, given that the canon leans very hard on the line between straight scifi and science fantasy; it acts like it's grounded future dystopia, speculative but not fantastic, but... well. Based on canon events, I can't fully consider it as such--so as long as you keep the surface elements more or less the same, no matter what the underlying justification for them is we'll be good. Is your explanation Aliens Did It? sweet, go for it. or anything else in that vein. this world is your oyster.
fandom-specific dnw--all of this is for the narrative level (not addressing it is fine; having characters who believe or do these things is fine): eugenics apologetics; segregation portrayed as good for society/the people living under it; infantilization of disabled characters; portrayal of low-prestige dialects as being "bad grammar" versions of higher-prestige dialects

WB: Reactions to Anisotropic Technology outside Japan (Kado), WB: Humans Exploring the Anisotropic (Kado), WB: Half-Human and Half-Anisotropic Existence (Kado), WB: Daily Life in the Anisotropic (Kado), WB: Applications of Wam (Kado), Original Anisotropic Character(s) (Kado), Original Character(s) (Kado), Shinawa Kanata (Kado), Shindou Yukika (Kado), Any or No Characters (Kado), Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta
What I like about this fandom:
The attempt at communication and sharing between aliens and humans, and the way that attempt affects both. The enthusiasm and ingenuity with which the scientists study the new technology. The strangeness of the anisotropic and its technology. Even though it ends with a soft reset, I like to think that first of all, the main human character made it out to the anisotropic, and second, it's still affecting the world, only in subtler ways perhaps.

What I like about this fandom:
The strangeness of the setting, and how interesting it is to imagine what it's like to live there. The contrast between the mundanity of the everyday life there and the superstition about Breach or supernatural elements of Breach, and how those could go either way.

What I like about this canon: The strangeness of the place, the determination of the characters to investigate it and to keep putting themselves deeper in literal and metaphorical debt for what they seem to think is an infinite prize. The way it's strongly implied that the objects don't have the same meaning at all to the aliens who left them behind. The side effects and how little the characters seem to care, but how significant they might be to others in the same world (hence it's ripe for world-building fic).

What I like about this canon: The complexity and depth of the setting, the way it's integrated into the story, the subtlety of the magic and the way the mages form an extended family of sorts, the appealing minor characters scattered through the whole thing. The use of language, especially formal/informal pronouns in English, to give depth to dialogue. Mostly, I like everything about the book.

What I like about this canon: the wish fulfillment aspects of it, the humor, the demonstration of the real problems that still exist when scarcity and illness and aging are all fixed, the Minds, the enormous scale, the exploration of the virtual and the alien and the wide variety of characters and their wide variety of interests and hobbies. The elegiac feeling it often evokes when it's being more serious, too. My favorite books of the series are Look to Windward, Player of Games, Hydrogen Sonata, Surface Detail (in that order). My least favorites are Matter and Use of Weapons (also in that order). The others (Excession, Inversions, Consider Phlebas, State of the Art) are in-between; I've read them all, multiple times for all but the two least favorites.
DNW: focus on underage sex or romance, or romantic relationships that began when one character was not yet an adult but the other one was. Serious or permanent harm to cat-like pets (past or mention is fine). Any appearance of Zakalwe, whether under that name or any of his pseudonyms.

I love the whole Imperial Radch series but I'm most interested in Provenance and its characters. If you want to combine these or make additional world-building topics in Provenance parts of the universe, I'm here for it. What I love about Provenance: the characters, the different cultures and how they all interact, the intensity of the strained relationships each of the nominated characters has with their parents and how those tie into the way their world is arranged -- the parental figures have used these characters to advance what they see as the right way of their cultures, and it's cost them all.
DNW: Focus on underage sex or romance (brief references not a problem if necessary for story or world-building), or romantic relationships that began when one character was not yet an adult but the other one was. Serious or permanent harm to cat-like pets (past or mention is fine).

What I like about this canon: Culture clash, matriarchy, biotechnology, interesting transportation system differences, the world it's set in and the characters. The story's attitude of everyone has a point, not making one side the good guys or the bad guys. Also I'm very fond of the color blue.
DNW: incest, underage sex, focus on underage romance, character bashing. Harm to cats or cat-like pets.
