I have 12 socks and a lot of invites sitting around in case I need more (which is why I have 12). I nominate things I may request and things from past exchanges I am hoping someone else will offer. I never end up requesting only things I nommed because the tagset always ends up having canons I forgot about but would like to get fic for.
I use the nom shaking trick to see if someone else has nommed fandoms I'm not 100% on, but if it's a fandom I REALLY want then I put those socks to use.
