The time has come! Sign-ups are closed!

We have one participant who is currently unmatchable (i.e., they have no one to create a gift for). You need to be matchable in order to participate. If your username starts with O (for orange), please check your email! Update: We no longer have any unmatchable participants!

I have also contacted two participants with usernames starting with ~~O (for ostrich)~~ and P (for penguin) regarding their sign-ups.

These participants have until Monday 28 April 11:59pm EDT to respond. [ In your timezone. ] If you have any questions, please email gumshoeagency@gmail.com.

To everyone else, I will be accepting:

do not match requests
last minute edits to your sign-ups (this does not include adding requests but adding details, like missing DNWs)

This opportunity will be available until Monday 28 April 11:59pm EDT [ In your timezone. ] . The only other time I will accept edits to your sign-up is if you are a pinch hit and either reach out to add requests or have been requested to add to your sign-up. Please mention your AO3 username so I know who you are!

Please email gumshoeagency@gmail.com regarding any matters about sign-ups and matching.

The latest assignments will go out is Thursday 1 May (EDT). In the meantime, please ensure your letters are ready!

Dearest daring detectives, we have a little over a day left until sign-ups close for the first round of Casefic Exchange! We will be closing our doors to sign-ups on Sunday 27 April at 11:59pm EDT. [ In your timezone + Countdown. ]

Please refer to our sign-up guidelines if you're interested in signing up!

Please make sure you make yourself matchable as a creator. One of the easiest ways to do this is to look at the the sign-up summary, requests summary and AO3 app.

Please also make sure that you include casefic likes in your sign-up. Prompts are required for this exchange. If you're needing some inspiration on how to prompt, I've compiled a list of prompts for you to refer to. Please make sure you have a few different ones so your creator has a variety of inspiration to pull from (i.e., not just mentioning you want a murder mystery, but also including a heist and missionfic if those are things you're interested in).

This is your last chance to finalise your sign-up!

I will be closing sign-ups tomorrow. After running matching, I will contact our unmatchables (if there are any) and anyone who seems to have an incomplete sign-up regarding casefic details.

See you tomorrow when we finalise who's working at the agency as part of our very first round! 🩷

Hello, fellow gumshoes! We have a week left until sign-ups close. Signups are open until Sunday 27 April. [ In your timezone + Countdown. ] You can view the tagset for our approved canons and relationships.

Please refer to our sign-up guidelines if you're interested in signing up!

Please also make sure that you include casefic likes in your sign-up. Prompts are required for this exchange, and I will be contacting participants who have signed up that don't have clear casefic likes in their sign-up asking them to add some. If you're needing some inspiration on how to prompt, I've compiled a list of prompts for you to refer to.

Enjoy what's left of your annual leave before you're put to work solving the case of the year! See you in a week! 🩷

Now that we've recruited our underlings in the form of secret agents, inspectors, and helpful nosy neighbours (that's our nominations), it's time to start compiling the assignments that we'll be sending out to our investigative heads (that's you—I'm trying to keep up with a theme here).

Signups are open until Sunday 27 April. [ In your timezone + Countdown. ]

You can sign up at the collection; you can view the tagset for our approved canons and relationships. Please read this post to ensure that your sign-up complies with the exchange's guidelines!

Sign-up reminders

You must be 18+ to sign up.

An AO3 account is required to sign-up/participate. Please sign up with one account only. If we find you have signed up with more than one, your additional sign-ups will be deleted and you may be banned from the exchange.

A reminder of the mediums and minimum requirements of the exchange:
- Fic: 3,000 words minimum.
- Comics: 10 panels minimum.
- Podfic: A recording of a completed fic of 3,000 words minimum with "casefic" as one of its tags.

There is a known bug with AO3 where the tag may be in the tagset but might not appear in the drop-down menu. Copy the relationship from the tagset and paste it into the box (press enter afterwards). AO3 will accept this.

You are required to provide prompts regarding what kind of work you would like to receive in the Optional Details section of your sign-up. We will not allow prescriptive prompts and we strongly discourage blank sign-ups. This is required of requests. Please include these details so that your creator knows what it is you're interested in when it comes to the exchange's theme. We have suggestions on what to include in the prompt section of this post.

The Optional Details section of the sign-up has been marked as a requirement.

If your sign-up breaks any of our rules, we may contact you to request edits made to your sign-up. If we do not receive a response, we will delete your sign-up.

Sign-ups made in bad faith will be deleted without contacting the recipient. This exchange has been designed to be an enjoyable community event.

Please do not put any notes to the mod in your Optional Details. Contact gumshoeagency@gmail.com as all requests and information you input in your sign-up is public.

If you are not matched to what you offered, please contact the mod immediately at gumshoeagency@gmail.com within a week of assignments being sent out. We will only change your assignment once after assignments have been sent out.
