yuletide. Yay! I never bother to suggest fandoms to add, because there are always more fandoms that I want to request than I have request slots available, and it is always agonizing paring fandoms down to four; there's no need to make it harder than it already is. I also like to check the requested fandoms page to see which of my requests is most likely to be the one matched on. (The matching algorithm matches the least offered/requested fandoms first, so the fewer numbers after the fandom, the more likely you are to be matched on that fandom--although that also depends on the characters requested and offered, which you can't tell from the list.) I've never managed to guess which fandom I actually ended up getting a story in, but it's fun all the same. Right now, I'm most likely to be matched up on Wonder Woman, because there's only my request and one offer to write. Who knows how that will change by the time signups are closed, and how my requests will interact with all the other requests and offers in the matching algorithm. Also, it's possible my assigned writer will default, in which case the most popular fandom would probably, though not certainly, be the one that I ended up getting. Judging by signups so far, Curse of Chalion is the most popular of the four I requested.
