Would algorithm-matching (Yuletide rules) be better?

Yes, I'm afraid that many of the fkficfest matches are challenging this year. I'm truly very sorry. If any players would like a swap, I'll facilitate!

Perhaps we should switch to machine-matching, like Yuletide?

Thank you. Yes, certainly, our players are very good and kind!

Yet it is the first year when the balance between disappointment and optimism expressed to me about prompt slates has tipped toward disappointment overall.

(A number of prompts were reruns from previous years; I tried not to give them to people who had seen them before. Maybe that was a mistake.)

Was it the final year of Femme-Fic that you and your co-mod had the prompt slates posted publicly, rather than screened? Did that succeed in helping encourage more matchable requests, do you happen to recall...? Just a thought!
