Pinch Hit | possible delay to reveals
A slightly unusual situation here - the current pinch hitter for this pinch hit has been in touch to indicate that they may need a little more time; at their suggestion, I am re-advertising to see if anyone else might be able to complete it more quickly.
If this pinch hit is picked up within the next 24 hours by someone who is confident they can finish it by 1955 UTC on Thursday 25th March, then we will remain on track for reveals 12 hours after that, at 0755 UTC on Friday 26th. However, if not, there will be a 48 hour delay to reveals, until 0755 UTC on Sunday 28th. I will post again on Wednesday with an update either way.
To claim, comment here (screened); if you want to discuss this further, send me a DW direct message or email me at worldbuildingmod@gmx.com. (Please note that I cannot respond to anon comments on pinch hit posts.)

non-con/dub-con; explicit sexual content; incest (incl. adoptive/chosen family); a/b/o; mpreg; non-canonical permanent major character death; complete downer endings; hurt no comfort; heavy angst; on-page deliberate self-harm*; on-page suicide; gore; graphic physical trauma; character bashing; cringe comedy; fic-as-writer-soapbox; setting AUs**; unrequested identity headcanons; romance as the main plot.
*I don’t include things like, say, punching a wall in a fit of emotion under this. However, something like cutting would not be appreciated.
**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.
fandom-specific dnw: romantic and/or sexual Zach/Zorian; physical parental abuse within the Kazinski family; significant exaggeration of canonical emotional neglect/abuse/general family dysfunction

**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
