Rarewomen Disappointment (Addendum: Misinformed!)
Saturday, February 16th, 2013 11:27 amSign-ups for
rarewomen are now open, and remain open through the end of February.
[Addendum: Odds on, the remarks below were based on misinformation! Now happily, patiently awaiting official clarification from the mods.]
[Addendum II: The mods have confirmed that it's "or" not "and" matching. Good!]
I will read contributions in my fandoms, no matter what. However, if this thread is confirmed by the mods, I may not play after all. How disappointing! (In sum, apparently I cannot request "Tessa or Randi or Angie or Rachel or Michelle," and if I try, I will not be matched with anyone offering any of those characters unless they offer all of those characters.)
Granted, the mods have many dozens of players to match, and this is an AO3 thing — not designed by these mods. I bet it works great for people in large fandoms and people with many fandoms! But I am in few, small fandoms. With these limitations, I can name the possible matches now.
Really, really disappointing. There're no other exchange games open to my fandoms anymore (except FKFicFest, obviously, and HL Holiday Shortcuts).

Rarewomen Correction
Saturday, February 16th, 2013 04:08 pmFollowing up on my previous post, I'm happy to get to share that one of the
rarewomen mods has confirmed that matching in their game is "or" (not "and"). Matching will function the same as last year, with no struggle to game the odds for those of us in the tiniest fandoms and with the rarest favorite characters.
I shouldn't have taken a non-mod post so much to heart. Please forgive any confusion or anxiety I caused!
(While I'm spamming you anyway, a reminder: please consider answering the
