IDGI, worldbuilding in conjunction with characters is a really common thing to prompt for. Is there a reason you’re not answering whether they requested characters?

Lol, well first I was asleep for eight hours and then I was at work for ten hours. Sorry I didn't prioritise answering coalies' questions over those things.

I'm not sure why it makes such a difference, but here are the deets: there are two characters in the tagset for this fandom. I nominated them, I offered them. My recip requested 'Any', and didn't mention the characters in their optional details. They just talked about how much they like worldbuilding and want worldbuilding fic for the canon in question.

The point is, they just want worldbuilding. It is obviously not what I offered. They COULD have nominated and requested worldbuilding and both of us might have had a shot at a better match. I assume they didn't know they could do that. As it is, they want something I didn't offer; I'm going to write them something they don't want. Which just kind of sucks.

I'd ask the mods to ask them for prompts for those characters.

This is why that worldbuilding option sucks. Isn't there already a worldbuilding exchange anyway?

How is this different from the way people misuse Any every year?
