You know those "friendly reminder" posts...

...that are really often something preachy or passive-aggressive or condescending and not really friendly at all? Yeah.

These really are friendly reminders:

Oooohhhh! Any idea what the rules for requests are going to be this year, yet? I think there was some discussion about making at least one more general one mandatory last year? (Just so I don't think up something too detailed again.)

[vulgarweed]

I think they'll be similar to last year, I don't foresee any radical changes, but we do think that one's a good idea. Some artists/writers really strongly prefer detailed prompts, and others work better with more general, open ones, so we'd like to see people submit a mix. We might consider strictly limiting the number of crossovers per request set, too, because there were a few sets that were hard to match because of that.

Oh yes, that is a very good idea, I remember having trouble with crossovers last year ... though there also were a lot of really tempting prompts as well. Ah, I'm getting more and more excited the longer I think of GOE!

Hm, so one detailed, one crossover, one open? Yes, I think that should suit me fine.
