There still has to be someone offering one of your fandoms initially, and if there isn't then the mods ask that person to add another fandom to their signup. You don't just immediately go out to PH.

No, that's wrong. You will go to PH and no one will ask you to add another fandom to your requests (sometimes they will ask if you've been lingering in PDPH, but mostly you can say no).

DC

...Yes you do? You have to add more offers if there's no one you can create for, sure, but not usually the other way around to the best of my knowledge. Which exchanges expect you to immediately add more requests if you don't have a potential creator?

No, you immediately go out as an IPH if someone doesn't offer your fandoms. The mods might ask you (ask, not demand!) to add other fandoms if you linger the whole writing period, but if you say "sorry, I don't have other fandoms I want", then your PHs will keep lingering until someone picks it up and the exchange won't open before that.

FWIW, no one ever asked me to add any fandoms, even when an exchange was delayed because of my PH. I offered to add some by myself once or twice, but back then literally all my fandoms were tiny, so that didn't help that much and when I eventually got a gift, it was for one of my first few requests rather than the added ones.

Well this is just nonsense.
