GUIDELINES
This is not a platonic exchange. However, non-sexual and pre-relationship content will certainly be allowed, as long as it follows the spirit of the exchange, as well as the request of your recipient. Polyamorous ships, other platonic friendships, and "swinger" pairings will also be allowed, as long as the focus is on Gumshoe and Edgeworth. It would be unreasonable to try to write rules taking account for all possibilities, or to try to direct what sort of works people request or create, so please use your best judgement!
More information about how to nominate characters in addition to GumWorth can be found on the nominations page.
RULES
1. Participants must be the age of majority in their country/territory to participate.
2. You must make at least 2 requests, the maximum is 10. You must make at least 1 offer, the maximum is 10.
3. Your gift must meet the stated minimums.
4. You must respect your recipient's DNWs, but DNWs must be added to the additional details box. DNWs may also be included in a letter for convenience, but unless they are also in the details box, they cannot be honored, as they could be changed in an outside letter, which would be unfair to a creator who has already begun working.
5. Additionally, DNWs must be worded in a neutral, and non-judgmental fashion. For example "no watersports" is a fine DNW, but "nothing disgusting or bad" is both not-specific enough to be enforceable, and judgmental. You cannot use your DNWs to box your creator into creating a very specific kind of work. You may, however, use this space to indicate if you have a preference for certain Top/Bottom or Dom/sub dynamics (e.g. DNW Bottom!Edgeworth).
6. Do not post anything about what you create for this exchange on public social media, or where your recipient may be able to see it, before creator reveals. Once creators have been revealed, you are welcome to share your work elsewhere.
7. Treating is enabled and very encouraged!
8. Please comment on any gift(s) you receive. There is no real minimum for how long these comments should be, but please try to give at least a single line.
Finally, and most importantly:
9. The policy of this exchange is to ship and let ship. You are welcome to request and nominate anything you like, as long as it is about GumWorth. However, if you are found to be harassing anyone involved over their kinks or ship preferences, you will be removed from the exchange and banned from participating in any future events run by the GumWorth Week team.
