A Few Points of Clarification

keita52Fellow Irrelevants,
We have had a few people signing up and requesting/offering only one pairing. While we are absolutely delighted that people are interested in this exchange and so enthusiastic about that pairing, those types of signups are not in the spirit of this exchange and will not be accepted.
The reason that more than one offer/request is required for exchanges (including this one) is to allow for flexibility in matching. The mods need to ensure that everyone has at least one person that they can create something for, and one person that can create something for them. The goal, when running an exchange, is to minimize the number of people that need to be taken on as pinch hits (someone has to volunteer to create for a recipient that wasn't able to be matched in the first round).
An additional reason that we are requiring three offers/requests is because this exchange is not only a Rinch + Shoot exchange. This is for all characters and pairings within the Person of Interest universe. We want people who are not Rinch or Shoot shippers to feel welcome here. We want people only interested in gen to feel welcome here.
When filling out your forms, please choose offers/requests that you are genuinely interested in. If you cannot come up with three offers/requests, then perhaps this exchange is not for you. We regret that, but we are standing firm with our decision to have the minimum number be three.
If you are really only interested in one pairing, one idea, you may be better suited to participating in the Big Bang, later this year.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to the mods if you have further concerns. The email is: poi.fanworks@gmail.com
