Dates: Does having reveals on March 8th mean that we should have already started nominations for this year? I looked at last year's schedule and it seemed like, from nominations opening to fic reveals was almost 2 calendar months exactly. But please feel free to correct me if I'm misunderstanding!
Otherwise, I like the idea of having it earlier, though it does somewhat overlap with Chocobox. I have fewer exchanges in the spring (she says, without looking at her list), so I'd be down for this change!
If I'm right that we're late on noms if we switch the schedule for this year, then maybe switch it for next year? Unless you're proposing it with a collapsed timeframe for this year, since we're late on noms?
Relationships: I like the idea of relationships! Especially if they replaced the "Group: A & B & C" format.
Would you be switching to /only/ relationships, or would you allow both individual characters and relationships? Personally, I'd prefer having the option for both.
Rule 63: I have no particular feelings about rule 63 characters being allowed/barred.
Canon Helpers: I don't remember exactly how they worked last year, but looking at the explanation in the 2017 FAQ, if they were only so that people could specify which part of a huge canon they were interested in (ie Sequel Trilogy for Star Wars) then maybe explaining them that way?
IIRC some of them weren't that clear cut; they were more like "worldbuilding" or something? I feel like I requested something like "Independent Atlantis" for Stargate Atlantis? Those were harder to understand, and I'm not sure how to explain them better. :/
Mod Excitement: I'd love a community challenge for Everywoman!
