*scratches head* Has the character matching changed? I swear the first year I joined, I got offered two characters and got matched with someone who had requested four, but based on your examples above that wouldn't happen. More likely I did something wrong that year; it was the first exchange I'd ever signed up for.

[morbane]

I'm not sure what matching style was in place in the first year, since I wasn't around then. This style of matching has been around for several years, though, and yeah, you can't currently match to someone who has requested more characters than you are offering.

[tawnykit]

I must have just made a mistake then, haha. Easy enough to do.

It's possible they had the additional characters in their optional details as a "absolutely not required but if you feel like it" thing, I've seen that happen sometimes?

[reynardo]

Am I the only one who sees the irony in the "Numbers - Anthropomorphic" Fandom where you are asked for "characters 0-4" and they might actually be the characters (numerals) you want?

Ok, I'll shut up now.

Hee!

Course of Honour (possible duplicate?)

[april_rainer]

I noticed when I was signing up today that The Course of Honour by Avoliot seemed to have two valid tag options (The Course of Honour and The Course Of Honour). Is one the standard or are they both mapping to the same object?

Re: Course of Honour (possible duplicate?)

[morbane]

Unfortunately, some tags that were accepted into the tag set and then edited out are still showing up when people sign up. "The Course of Honour - Avoliot" is the only one that should work - if you select just "The Course of Honour", your sign-up should return an error when submitted.

When I sign up for Cinderella (2015), Ella does not show up as a character, though she shows up in the tag set for the movie--and there are other characters not showing up, too. I wrote her in, but I don't know if that will be a tag that works. Help?

[morbane]

Copy it from the tag set as Ella | Cinderella (Cinderella (2015)) - that should work. If you let us know when you've submitted, too, we can glance over your sign-up and see if it looks OK.

[chelseafrew]

Submitted about 10 minutes ago or so. Thanks so much for the tip. Please let me know if you see any errors. Thanks!

[morbane]

Sure. You've definitely selected Ella as part of your request.

Do you have offer to write in four fandoms? I found three I could write in but not four.

[morbane]

Yes, you need to offer four.
