Community Challenge Results
At last count, the community treated 234 people—85% of participants. Congratulations! The prize badges for Tiers 1 and 2 can be found at this post.

Thank you again to the anonymous artist for the custom badges, and thank you to shadowsapiens for running the treating spreadsheet.

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.

Thank you for running Trick or Treat this year! I had a great time. It felt like a real return to form. Last year I think everyone was a bit wrung out - the number of people left treatless at the end was super high. This year brought back that energy, excitement, and community-oriented feeling that really makes Trick or Treat what it is to me.

I enjoyed the community challenge and I think it pushed me to create more! I liked that it was simple but ambitious. I'd look forward to another one like it next year.

I think adding relationship matching made it easier to ask for what I really wanted. My signup was 90% characters, with only one ship, because I was interested in a broad variety of stories about the single characters I asked for but really only wanted shipfic for the ship I asked for. And I got exactly what I wanted! So from that perspective it was a success. I also found it made it easier to find people to treat, not harder. I wrote a mix of gen and shipfic, and some of that shipfic was for single-character requests. But I feel like generally the addition of ship-matching made it easier to find out exactly what people wanted and give it to them. So I hope ship matching is part of ToT next year as well!
