I just wanted to say a big thank you to you for running this year's exchange! I wasn't intending to participate for personal reasons, but I'm glad that I was able to. This was my first time participating in Trick or Treat and I had a blast.

I only participated as a pinch hitter and treater, so I can't give any feedback regarding the matching when it comes to nominations and signing up. I did end up writing ships or gen pairings based on those tags vs. individual character tags.

I loved the community challenge! It encouraged me to write a lot more than I would've. I thought it was a great activity for the community to do at large, and I had a lot of fun as I got to write in new fandoms and write new characters, too. I thought it was really good to encourage treats and I would love to see it come back next year. (The badges were also so cute!) I think it would be great to have some emphasis on the community challenge at the beginning of the writing period so that we might not have a big rush towards the end of the exchange and the anon reveals.

Thank you again!
