2021 Feedback
I would love to get feedback on how the exchange went for participants this year, including:

- In general, is there anything that could be better clarified in the FAQ for next year?
- How was your experience with the community challenge?
- Did the addition of relationship matching negatively or positively impact your matchability, finding people to treat, etc?

Note: I won't be replying to every comment here but will get to questions as I can. If you'd prefer to give feedback privately, my email is halloweenmod@gmx.com.

I'll confirm whether TOT 2022 will include the option of relationship matching by the end of this month, so everyone has time to plan their 2022 exchange calendars.

Please, please, please go back to character matching only next year.

I participate in lots of ship-matching exchanges, but what was special about this one for me was that it was character OR matching. The trick/treat aspect, whatever; the low wordcount is nice but not really important to me. Character matching made the exchange for me, and ship matching broke it.

That sounds awfully dramatic. But I sat the exchange out this year because of this change, and if it stays I'm pretty sure I won't be coming back.

I didn't sign up this year because I realized that I was sad rather than excited about the exchange; didn't treat for the same reason. I actually unfollowed the comm because it was making me sad seeing it on my reading list. I didn't read anything in the collection. Or even look at art, and Trick or Treat art is usually one of the highlights of my autumn.

I feel like something I loved died, and I didn't realize how much I loved it until it was gone.
