We couldn't run the exchange without our pinch hitters!

If you're a pinch hitter who isn't signed up as a participant in 2025's round who would like to put yourself forward for a gift, please drop yourself on this post with your request(s)!

We have a couple of guidelines:

• Please use the tagset to select fandoms and pairings ("/", "&", and "Solo") that were accepted for this round.


• Treats for pinch hitters do not need to meet our minimum requirement for a completed gift. That means it can be a scene/snippet from solving a case rather than a case being solved from beginning to end. (One panel for art will be accepted. Podfic that records a drabble will be accepted. Fic that's a total of 500, 1,000, etc. words will be accepted.)


• Prompts or links to letters (past or one specifically for this exchange) are optional and are very welcome.


• Please list any DNWs in your comment.


• Please do not reveal who you are pinch hitting for in your comment.


• You can find our full guidelines in our rules post.


• If you have a question regarding a pinch hitter's request, please email gumshoeagency@gmail.com with your questions.

I've provided a suggested format to post below, although you're welcome to post however you like as long as the information you provide is useful for a potential treater.

AO3 username: Please ensure you let us know your AO3 so you can receive a gift!
Fandom:
Mediums: (Comic, fic, podfic, a combo, or all)
Characters/Relationships: What are you requesting from the requested fandom?
Likes: These are optional. You can put prompts here so potential treaters know what kind of casefic you'd like to receive.
Do Not Wants:
Letter Link: If you have one.

<b>AO3 username:</b> <user name="USERNAME HERE" site="archiveofourown.org"> <b>Fandom:</b> <b>Mediums:</b> <b>Characters/Relationships:</b> <b>Likes:</b> <b>Do Not Wants:</b> <b>Letter Link:</b>

You're welcome to repeat this as many times as you like. Anon comments are allowed on this post.

Please note we do not guarantee gifts for pinch hitters, but please still consider dropping yourself onto this post. If you're interested in pinch hitting, please check out our available pinch hits.

Thank you again for participating, and I hope you have a good time being a part of our first round!

Are you hungry for a new case? One of our pinch hits may be the one for you! We have two new pinch hits added to our packet of cases looking for a detective.
