Re: Hmm

As a gen writer, there are times when I would love to offer both lead characters in my fandoms, but I end up offering only one lead and a side character (who is not usually shipped with that lead) to make it less likely I will match to someone who just wants shippy fic. It means that I don't get to offer everyone I want to write, and it also means I'm less matchable in the fandom. Plus it doesn't guarantee I won't get a ship request, although at least I'm not offering both characters of the most popular ships.

I like the idea of matching on "only want shippy fic," "only want gen fic," or "open to both." Officially, Yuletide is "open to both" -- I can request gen, but ODAO means I won't necessarily get it -- but matching on ship vs. gen preference might genuinely make things easier for a lot of participants.

As someone very opposed to relationship matching, allowing a choice between "shippy, gen, both" would be totally fine and not exchange ruining imo

That would also avoid the logistical tagset issues, since it would only be adding three tags total.
