Thanks so much for the detailed thoughts! I'm not reconsidering the addition for this year, but the input is appreciated.
While I know this answer won't satisfy everyone, I hope multishippers who like character matching will feel comfortable signing up as usual. I definitely have fandoms where I prefer the ambiguity of character OR matching too.
I'll set aside the notes on Shipoween filling the shipfic niche, since Shipoween mod is retiring -- I know the timing of this comment section is a little awkward, since I posted before Shipoween mod.
Regarding recent drama and the question of trust... I know I'm new as PK and coming in with a couple of big changes, and "just trust me!" would be a hell of an ask right here. All I can say is that I have longtime investment in Trick or Treat as a participant too, and I intend to do my best by other participants as the exchange moves forward.
