What do you want in the exchange?  Ideas? Preferences?  Suggestions?  If enough people want something a poll will be run and the exchange will go in the direction indicated by the poll.

Also, discuss and plan nominations here too.

Thanks for your reply!

Those are interesting options. One thing I wondered about in another situation was AND matching with a minimum of two characters (so someone who asked for A, B, and C could be matched with someone who offered B and C). I don't know if that would work here. I especially don't know if it would work if it prevented someone who requested only A from being matched to someone who offered only A (because one character not two). But I have observed that people who are especially unhappy with OR matching are those who want ships.

Doing it under Relationships would mean that I would have to do more hand matching since I don't believe AO3 can be set to do OR using two fields.

Yeah, true, you don't get to set it to "match on this OR on this" between the different fields.

I suppose if there weren't too many sign-ups, you could make it easier for yourself by changing the matching settings to relationships, running matching, and noting down all the matches, then changing it back to characters, and matching from there, but that sounds like a huge hassle.

Hope you don't mind me blathering at you. It is just interesting to look at what's possible in the current interface.
