caseficexchangeDear detectives, private investigators, criminal masterminds and nosy busy bodies,
The assignment deadline has passed!
We have many extensions across the agency. Happy creating and giving those fabulous works a final touch!
Extensions are due on Friday 15 May at 11:59pm EDT. [ In your timezone + Countdown ]
No further extension dates will be given (pinch hitters who claimed in the last two weeks leading up to Friday 1 May are exempted). Extenuating circumstances will be treated on a case-by-case basis.
If you requested an extension via email and did not hear back from me, please reply to this post with your AO3 username and recipient's AO3. There is a chance I replied and your email has eaten my response, or I filed it away by accident while believing I had responded. Please reach out before Monday 4 May.
If you default on your extension, or I have to default you because you are a no-show, you will be required to complete a make-up gift to participate in the next round. (These are due before the next round's sign-ups.)
If you receive an extension and have extenuating circumstances between Friday 1 May and Friday 15 May, please reach out. I don't need the details (give me an elevator pitch of context) and we can work out a new deadline date that works with the exchange's current timelines.
Pinch hitters who claim a request after Friday 1 May who need extensions will have their requests treated on a case-by-case basis. (I don't have any further extension deadlines.) Extensions won't be given to anyone who was assigned a request before Friday 1 May (excluding pinch hitters who claimed in the two weeks leading up to that date).
I will default anyone who has not completed their gift or who has submitted a draft. Completed gifts that can stand on their own in the instance you win the lottery, acquire a Wi-Fi-less island and move there are required at the assignment deadline.
Repeated no-shows may be banned from participating in the next round.
Participants who chose to sign up with less than 3 unique fandoms and who do not have a gift have until Friday 15 May at 11:59pm EDT to add additional fandoms to their request [ In your timezone + Countdown ].
I will not be updating any requests after this date. This is so I can manage pinch hits in the post-deadline phase of the exchange.
These fandoms need to be unique and not subfandoms to qualify, i.e., if your request only consists of Doctor Who 2005, Doctor Who 1963 and WandaVision, you do not meet the minimum unique fandom requirements.
If you are a participant who has not requested a minimum of 3 unique fandoms who wants to be guaranteed a gift in the post-deadline stage of the exchange, you will need to meet the following criteria:
If this describes you, please email gumshoeagency@gmail.com by the deadline with your additional fandoms, providing:
I will update your requests if you become or remain a pinch hit during the post-deadline phase of the exchange. I will confirm via return email when this is done so you are aware that these changes have been made to your request.
If you do not complete your assignment, I will not update your request to meet the minimum of 3 unique fandoms and you will not be a pinch hit as you'll be considered a default.
If you do not want to add additional requests to slip into "guaranteed gift", that's fine! Please remember that the exchange may open without you receiving a gift.
This is a new aspect of the exchange that I'm trialling. We will see how we go!
If you do not have a gift, you're welcome to email me to confirm if your creator has an extension.
These will be posted in the next day after I confirm all extensions and defaults, as I will be AFK for the rest of the day/evening (see this post for details).
Congratulations! 🥳 You can spend the time from now until I announce the collection reveal date editing your gift.
You are welcome to add words or panels to your gift as you see fit. Works must meet the minimum requirements for comics, fic and podfic.
If you don't intend to edit your gift because it's already polished to your satisfaction, you can sit back, relax, and perhaps look at our active pinch hits during this time! (Post-deadline pinch hits will be posted in approximately 24 hours.)
The collection will not open until all guaranteed gifts are in. I'd appreciate any help in getting pinch hits filled!
Please email gumshoeagency@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns. Please provide your AO3 username so I know who I'm speaking with!

Happy creating to those with extensions, and good luck to those of you editing during this period! Thank you in advance to participants, passers-by and the PH nonnies of BFE who assist in filling our pinch hits.

Non-guaranteed gifts becoming guaranteed gifts:

These fandoms need to be unique and not subfandoms to qualify, i.e., if your request only consists of Doctor Who 2005, Doctor Who 1963 and WandaVision, you do not meet the minimum unique fandom requirements.
If you are a participant who has not requested a minimum of 3 unique fandoms who wants to be guaranteed a gift in the post-deadline stage of the exchange, you will need to meet the following criteria:
- have completed a gift for the exchange
- have not received a gift (not having a gift means you are either a pinch hit (as part of our existing slate or post-deadline slate) or your creator has an extension)
If this describes you, please email gumshoeagency@gmail.com by the deadline with your additional fandoms, providing:
- Canon: As it appears in the tagset.
Relationships: As they appear in the tagset.
Mediums:
Optional details:
I will update your requests if you become or remain a pinch hit during the post-deadline phase of the exchange. I will confirm via return email when this is done so you are aware that these changes have been made to your request.

I've submitted my gift and it's been accepted into the collection. What now?
