New Year New Round Questions

[pumpkinkingmod]

Questions for everyone.  I want to hear opinions and feedback.  This is not a vote.

 

 

Dates

 

In the past we have run from May to June, mirroring the schedule for Trick or Treat.  I would like to have a longer gap between the end of Every Woman and the beginning of Trick or Treat.  What about having reveals on International Women’s Day (March 8^th)?  It does fit my MO better as a holiday mod.  If the dates are moved what would you like the schedule to be like?  Alternatively, would you like to keep the same schedule for this year and move it next year?

 

Relationships

 

This is a topic that I ask about every year because I get at least one person that asks me about it either through comments or through a private message.  Do you want relationships?  If I allow relationships that would include any platonic or romantic in which at least half the individuals are women (I will make an exception to M/F/M threesomes).

 

Rule 63

 

Would you like Rule 63 female characters either as solo characters or in groups/relationships with canon female characters?  Rule 63 characters are currently allowed to appear in works alongside a requested canon female character but can’t be nominated for.  

 

Canon Helpers

 

I didn’t do the best job of explaining them next year, but they made things a lot easier for me on the mod end.  With the issues that have been plaguing AO3 tagsets lately I’m going to be keeping them.  Any suggestions on how to better explain them since they are unique to Every Woman?

 

Mod Excitement

 

As a mod, I keep excited about my exchanges by changing things up.  In Trick or Treat I do that by coming up with the Community Challenges.  If you don’t like either allowing Relationships or Rule 63 this year what are some suggestions you have for changing things up?  Maybe I could figure out another way to match on fic/art and we could try using tags this year?  Part of me just wants to let loose, go crazy and let everything in.  Rule 63, relationships, tags, canon helpers, and medium.  Or maybe alternate everything rounds with strictly canon women rounds?
