I ran matching!
There were 19 people without matches. I matched up everyone who AO3 told me had no matches but actually did, and the final count of unmatchable people was finalized at 19.
This is the plan:
- Sign Ups have been re-opened for 48 hours until February 15th at 1AM UTC. This is only for the 19 unmatchable people to adjust their offers.
- I will email all 19 people to let them know that they need to adjust their offers to become matchable. Anyone who does not do this will have their sign up deleted. IF YOU DO NOT OFFER ANYTHING THAT MATCHES SOMEONE'S REQUEST, YOUR SIGNUP WILL BE DELETED.
- New sign ups will be accepted, but IF YOU DO NOT OFFER ANYTHING THAT MATCHES SOMEONE'S REQUEST, YOUR SIGNUP WILL BE DELETED.
How Matching Works
Everyone will be matched based on 1 fandom, 1 character/relationship, and 1 freeform in the same request. You do not need to write every single character/pairing and freeform that someone requests, only one of each. Make sure you match on someone with a fandom, relationship, and freeform.
EDIT: If you currently match to just one person and worry their sign up might be deleted after the 15th, don't feel pressured about adding to your offers. There will be another round of asking unmatchable people to adjust their offers after the 15th. Hopefully this number won't be too large.
