Re: Some letters stats

There's some fandoms I won't offer if I can't see the requests. Big casts (because I never manage to anticipate all possible pairings), fandoms that often have incest requests (which usually isn't in my wheelhouse so I game away), and canons I'd struggle with if I got a blank signup, for example.

However if I see a great letter I will absolutely game for it if there's a way. I had one I wanted with an available character set of 10, and the letter wanted one specific character. I offered that character and another character who'd be very unlikely to show up in anyone's request with the other (think offering for Leia and putting in Jar Jar as the second offer.) I'm still vulnerable to Any requests but there's no getting around those no matter what you do.

I didn't get it, but requests show if I'd gotten that fandom it would have been the letter I wanted. And I still might treat it. This is pretty typically how I do Yuletide, I've been doing it too long and been burned too many different ways by offering too widely not to!
