I just hope these people get some decent fills for their prompts. I've got a feeling, though, we'll see at least one of these popping up again as a PH, either because it's been claimed in bad faith or claimed earnestly in haste. I'm pretty conservative about claiming PHs--I don't ask for them unless I have a solid idea--but I get the impression other people are less uptight about claiming things.

There's also "completely earnest pinch hitter claimed it and was well on their way and then got hit with life". Let's not borrow trouble.

At least this way, the information is out there about which of their canons are shortest or otherwise easiest to access, and where they can be found.

To me, that's lumped in with person would earnestly claimed the PH and then realized they couldn't manage it--good intentions, unfortunate outcome.

There are plenty of people who are confident they can come up with an workable idea for a reasonably good prompt for any canon, coalie. I can come up with fifteen ideas on command after any movie or book; the problem is making it stop. I need exchanges to narrow down what I'm going to write long enough do actually do it, not come up with ideas. I suspect a lot of the people who take this kind of pinch hit are in my boat.

Also, I really don't think anyone who picked one up today can be said to be doing it "in haste".

+1 best case scenario is that multiple people consume the canon and at least one or two actually gets into it and can write for it next year lol
