It takes a community to support an exchange! If you’d like to pinch hit for the be_compromised Secret Santa gift exchange 2025 in addition to participating, or instead of participating, please comment to this post with the following:

Contact info - your email address and/or discord handle: Your AO3 user name/handle: Absolutely Not: (Things that are an absolute no for you, such as anything triggering, character death, certain ratings, things that you will not do) Kinda Like: (No guarantees, but we can try to match you to something you'd like!)

The rules of Secret Santa 2025 will apply to any pinch hits eg. gifts must be a minimum of 1,000 words. The deadline for the Secret Santa exchange is 16:00 GMT Monday 8 December and we aim to post/reveal gifts the week starting 15 December. We will be assigning pinch hitters to anyone who defaults in advance of this deadline or on this deadline. If any participants arrange an extension date with the mods we will set that extension deadline in advance of the planned posting dates. This means pinch hitters will have anywhere between weeks to a few days to complete a pinch hit, but we hope to give you at least a week.

We will let you know by email (from be_compromised@hotmail.com so please make sure that’s approved and not classed as spam) or discord private message as soon as a pinch hit is needed, with the details of the assignment, to check if you’re still free and able to help.

There is no deadline to sign up for pinch hitting, but if you can give us an idea early on it will help the mods if we have any early defaults or if we spot a pinch hit that we think you might particularly like to do.

Comments to this post will be screened. If you have any questions please reply to the questions/comments thread at the top and we will un-screen those manually to reply. (We are not able to reply to comments here without un-screening them.)

Thank you! <3
