pumpkinkingmodThank you everyone for your feedback, both before and after the 2021 round! I've decided to keep mixed character and relationship OR matching for 2022.
The decision was based on a number of factors: both pre- and post-exchange feedback; how smoothly the 2021 round went in terms of matching and pinch hits; requests and offers data; the balance of work categories in the collection; and conversations with Shipoween Mod.
Shipoween Mod has confirmed to me (and given permission for me to say) that Shipoween is officially retired, and won't run in the future.
Participant feedback was the most important factor, but I looked at the rest in case opinions were very closely split.
Other notes:

Other notes:
- The FAQ will emphasize that gen and ship prompts are both welcome for character requests, just like always.
- The work reveals time will definitely be earlier next year, though I don't have an exact time for that yet.
