Hello detectives,
May has come… and our assignment deadline approaches!
🚨 Assignments are due in ONE DAY! 🚨 [ In your timezone + Countdown ]
If you need an extension, you have until Friday 1 May 11:59pm Eastern to request it [ In your timezone + Countdown ]. The deadline for assignments with extensions is Friday 15 May. Everyone who requests an extension before this deadline will be granted one. (I may be delayed in confirming.)
No further extension dates will be given. Extenuating circumstances will be treated on a case-by-case basis.
Please email gumshoeagency@gmail.com with your AO3 username and your recipient's AO3 username when requesting an extension.
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. I want everyone's experience with Casefic Exchange to be fun, but my number one priority is to run the exchange as smoothly as possible that opens before 2027 arrives.
If you cannot complete your assignment, please default before the assignment deadline. There is no shame in doing so! Please press the 'default' button on your assignment.
I will be defaulting anyone who is a no-show and you may be banned from participating in the next round. If you were a no-show last year and are a no-show this year, you may be banned. If you want to participate in the next round, you will need to complete a make-up assignment if you are a no-show twice in a row.
I will not be emailing participants to check whether they are submitting works. If you do not submit a work, ask for an extension, or default, you will be considered a no-show.
I will see you at the finish line!

Defaults:
If you cannot complete your assignment, please default before the assignment deadline. There is no shame in doing so! Please press the 'default' button on your assignment.
I will be defaulting anyone who is a no-show and you may be banned from participating in the next round. If you were a no-show last year and are a no-show this year, you may be banned. If you want to participate in the next round, you will need to complete a make-up assignment if you are a no-show twice in a row.
I will not be emailing participants to check whether they are submitting works. If you do not submit a work, ask for an extension, or default, you will be considered a no-show.
What comes after the assignment deadline passes:
- Please make sure gumshoeagency@gmail.com is whitelisted so that you get my emails if I need to contact you. I will not be reaching out to anyone via any other method other than email, so please make sure you can receive my emails. I will use the email attached to your AO3 account.
- You can keep editing your assignment after you submit it. Please ensure you submit a completed work. A completed work is a work that can stand on its own if you happen to win the lottery and purchase an island with no Wi-Fi and immediately move there.
- For full transparency, I will be AFK for the deadline and won't be actioning anything until it's past 9am on Sunday AEST [ In your timezone. ].
What does this mean for you? I won't be immediately actioning things and you have a little wriggle room in submitting your completed gifts, but I ask that this is not taken advantage of! There is one caveat: If you need a few extra hours because of timezone or because-it's-a-workday reasons, please email me to let me know. You will not receive a timely reply, but I ask so that I know it's intentional and that you've read this post and understand that you need to get your assignment in. If your work is not in the collection by the time I start mod work (see time above), you will be mod-defaulted and considered a no-show. Please aim to get works in via the assignment deadline time. - I will publish a post declaring our assignment deadline has passed and a reminder regarding participants who do not have a minimum of 3 unique fandoms that they have until Friday 15 May at 11:59pm Eastern to add fandoms to become eligible for a guaranteed gift. There will be more information on that post.
- I'll post a new slate of pinch hits several hours after the deadline.
I will see you at the finish line!
