Pitchforks

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 story. 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 a pitchfork. Other fans prefered various impliments, such as Thea Zara's preference for the whip. Variations also include using fanon characters, such as Bump, in mini-scenes to deliver the hint.
