I think it's perfectly within the spirit of a challenge that is not about rare for-the-fandom pairs but will often let in pretty much any pairing from smaller fandoms. I would kill to have hundreds of fics to choose from for some of my pairings but I'm not petty enough to want to disqualify something that was nominated in good faith.

The challenge was specifically for rare for-the-fandom pairs though.

Sorry for responding to you so late, anon. Anyway though, I one hundred percent agree with you about not wanting to disqualify something that was nominated in good faith, and I'm sorry if my comment didn't reflect that. Honestly, as long as the rules are being followed I wouldn't ever be in favour of disqualifying anythingβ€”it's the very nature of any fandom challenge with some sort of inclusion cut-off that you're always going to end up with material that's just kissing that cut-off point. There's just no avoiding that.

I guess that's what I mean when I say I can relate to the sense of disappointment, though. Juggernaut Pairing X might be well within the rules, and I would never actually advocate expelling it from the challenge, but for me at least? That just isn't what I'm looking for when I sign up to that kind of exchange, you know? So yeah. Disappointment.

But when it comes down to it, just volunteer to write for the things you're interested in, asking for the things you'd like to read, and just let other folks do what they're gonna do. It's definitely not worth fighting over, imo.
