Um, I tried to offer for "Dirk Gently" but it only gave one character as an option to write . . . and then it told me I couldn't offer only one character? Do I just need to choose "any?"

There are actually two characters (Dirk Gently, Richard Macduff) based on the tag set (although both may not show up in the pulldown), so you can either specify them both, or just tick "Any", and that will work the same way.
