Now that the exchange is complete, I'd like to hear your opinions on what went well and anything you think might be better changed in the future.

Some subjects I'm particularly interested in:

-Did the ratings matching help you? Was it confusing? Would you like to have ratings matching, but change how it works?

-I'm considering a no modern RPF rule next round. How do people feel about this idea?

-Were the freeforms helpful? Would you like to add, remove or rearrange any freeform tags?

-Anything else you feel strongly about!

Did the ratings matching help you? Was it confusing? Would you like to have ratings matching, but change how it works?
I requested and offered both. It didn't do much for me.

I'm considering a no modern RPF rule next round. How do people feel about this idea?
I am not personally affected but I would understand if you feel more comfortable with that.

Were the freeforms helpful? Would you like to add, remove or rearrange any freeform tags?
Yes, it was very helpful to get an idea of the vibe people wanted. If it's not too much effort (and it might be) you could consider having a tagset like in smut4smut or nonconathon which is user generated and would include things like "Blood", "Woundfingering", "Amputation" or "Scenario - Torturted by Villains". I don't think it is strictly necessary though.

Anything else you feel strongly about!
Not strongly, but I saw some DNWs that were a bit of a hassle to work with. If people DNW like 20 different types of goring it can be a bit creatively stifflig and daunting (having to double check each idea against a seemingly arbitrary list).

The event was super fun and I got to read many nice fics!
