I often sit out the nominations phase, but in this case I read and re-read until I was certain how to nominate. The way the SOLO: CHARACTER works is just to allow them to have the options of both gen and romantic set ups.

And when sign ups happen, I will likely ONLY request solo characters, but use optional details to let the writer assigned know if I can/will tolerate which 'ships I don't mind as background details for the characters I requested. So like, I might say Amanda (okay for 'ships with Blaine, Rebecca, or Duncan) with a focus on Amanda herself, not her relationship? If that makes any sense.
