yeah the problem isn't often fandom size or pairing rarity, it's that we end up with a ton of wankers signing up for exchanges. a lot of the small fandom requesters are good eggs and write lovely comments.

maybe tighten the behavior rules and make commenting mandatory instead of penalizing those with niche tastes?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, but in some cases it is very obvious that the problem is having extremely niche taste. Though in most of those cases, forcing them to add more fandoms isn't going to solve the fundamental problem that the people in multi-fandom exchange fandoms are just really not into their canons, because they have more than 3 obscure fandoms.

so... everybody should be forced to like popular things, then? not gonna work. should mods specify "conventional tastes only, ships must consist of two hollywood-style attractive humans"?

besides, some fandoms may be mainstream popular but aren't popular on the exchange scene.

[(Anonymous)]

nah, if they make you add fandoms ask for original works with the wackiest pairings of monsters and aliens and sentient animals and ask only for smut prompts, that'll show 'em.

Adding OW is not the way to obstruct this.

Winterblumensaat that shit.

ha ha yeah, make them write the nonexistent fandom of your dreams! i'd be into that.

[(Anonymous)]

Hell yeah, do this so I can claim it.

I'm not saying that only people with popular taste get to do exchanges. I don't like the duke. I just object to the idea that obscure taste in fandoms doesn't lead to lingering on the pinch hit list because it absolutely can.

[(Anonymous)]

yes absolutely it can. the answer, though, is not to penalize someone for being a pinch hit. this is gonna cut down on ppl willing to sign up. unless that's what the mod wants in the first place.

glassesofjustice is a wanky mod anyhow.

Wanky mod? Deets?

[(Anonymous)]

Dunno if they're wanky but they're shit at communicating. The April 11 work reveals date passed and they didn't even update the community until later on the 12th.

Sounds like bad modding to me. I was in an exchange that had the same thing happen last year and I will never go near it again.

which one
