Pitchforks: Difference between revisions

'''Pitchforks''' are a [[PPMB]] in-joke where writers who left unfinished stories were "jabbed" by their readers with pitchforks or other pointy objects in a jesting way, to encourage them to finish their tales. As an "angel in hell," [[Angelinhel]] first coined the use of a pitchfork (usually flaming). [[Kristen Bealer]] is another PPMB regular known for enthusiastic use of pitchforks. Other fans use various other implements, such as [[Thea Zara]], who prefers the whip. Variations also include using [[fanon]] characters, such as [[Bump]] (especially when "bumping" an old thread), in mini-scenes to deliver the hint.
