In general, is there anything that could be better clarified in the FAQ for next year?

I haven't participated in this exchange, but I was wondering: people have mentioned that they don't like the ship matching because character matching allowed them to be free with their ship ideas, rather than needing to nominate all the ships they wanted individually. Is requesting a single character and saying you would also like shipfic for that character if the creator was so inclined still allowed? Would a shipfic with a requested character be considered filling the request, provided that it didn't violate a DNW?
