Generally, I'm in favor. I think it'll make finding participants who match your interests (and avoiding those that don't) easier. And it should save the people who didn't nominate a character from having their nomination torpedoed by a different nominator who does want specific characters.
But as someone who likes worldbuilding best when it's delivered by my fav characters interacting with their world, instead of just the world on its own, idk. Like, clearly the solution would be for me to include the Worldbuilding (Fandom) "character" in my request (if it's even nominated), but I'm not 100% sold. Of all the possible changes to Yuletide, I'm not sure if this is the one I'd choose to address the first time there's been an open discussion about rule changes in years. The current system isn't perfect, but idk if it really needs fixing either.
