Why should anyone be able to change any exchange into a list of demands for their specific kinks? It's not really fair that someone can nominate four noncon/incest/whatever original ships and then only request those, in any exchange. Keep it to smut, kink and OW exchanges.

OW only counts as one fandom though, usually exchanges require at least three don't they? Except flashes I guess.

Some exchanges split up by type (M/M, F/F, multi), so it’s feasible that someone stuff their signup with 15 variations of incest toddlerfucking, and maybe the marginalia of an 1972 original run of a Czechoslovakian cookbook to fill that last slot, but I’m not sure I’ve actually seen that in the wild.

If assignments were random you would have a point.

People CHOOSE to offer those tags. No gun to their head.

You can nominate generic “Man/Woman” with no other details and if someone picks it, you can ODAO any way you like.

Nobody is being forced to write any specific kink they don’t already share. If nobody wants to offer those things, they are an IPH.

Yes, and how dare someone nominate and request four Batman pairings! This is not a Batman exchange, keep your Batman/Superman, Batman/Robin, Batman/Joker and Batman/Catwoman mono-character ass out of our exchanges! Make your own Batman exchange if you're so desperate for him.

SA is half asleep and meant to say/realize this applies mostly to exchanges where you only have to request four ships not four individual fandoms.

I don't think I've ever seen a multi-fandom exchange that had a minimum ship requirement without a minimum fandom requirement.

Nobody has to offer the ships though. If they hold up the exchange by being a forever PH, the mods can ask they add something else.

This really isn’t that deep or anything to get hung up over coalie.
