Oh, yes, you're quite right: I'm confident that machine-made matches would be utterly wretched by that measure. :-) I should have phrased the question differently: Would players prefer a different set of expectations?

That is, would more players be happier with Yuletide-style expectations, matched only on characters, with "optional details are optional"? In that case, for example, a Dark Knightie would get me as a recipient, and would write something that I wouldn't at all enjoy reading, but the Dark Knightie would have fun writing her own take, not struggling to write mine, and isn't that the important thing...?

I don't know what to do.

I understand that we need a new sign-up form, with different, more, fewer, better questions... if we play again, I'll definitely seek more effective sign-up forms to redesign... but... how do we get people to want to write what others want to read? Rhetorical question (unless you happen to have a magic answer ~grin~).

"List up to 20 things you like" but "List no more than 3 things you avoid"...?
