I'm new to this exchange so don't have any experience from previous years! But my opinions:
Dates: No opinions on the date. I like the thematic idea of reveals being on Women's Day, but I don't particularly care one way or the other.
Relationships: I love shipping, so as long as the ships have women involved and stay focused on them, I'm in favor.
Rule 63: I really don't want this. My rationale is that if I'm participating in an exchange centered on women, I am not interested in female versions of male characters from canon. (I realize this is stickier for canons where there ARE canon female versions of originally male characters, but I am not active in any of those.) I think that generally, male characters in canon get more attention than the female characters in their canon anyways, and I would rather focus on the female characters who are already underrepresented or sidelined rather than continue giving attention to the male characters, even in Rule 63 versions of themselves.
I admit that since I am not going to offer or request any Rule 63 though, this would not affect my own sign-ups.
Canon helpers: I think whatever helps make it easier for you as a mod works :)
