I think part of the problem with the 2 rule was that an individual can only nominate 4 fandoms. ~

Let's say. for simplicity, that you're only nominating things you either want to offer or request. If you're the only person who nominated 3 of the 4, not only have you "wasted" 3 nomination spots, but you've increased the chance that you'll be the only one asking for/offering those 3.

A post from today noted that last year almost 3000 fandoms were nominated, but only 1600 of those actually wound up generating fics.

Yes - that's another very good point about it. Thanks for breaking that down further for me. :D It's one of those things that I 'get' but was having trouble putting into words.

[silverr]

You're welcome.

(Actually, another way to avoid the "fandoms get offered but not requested" would be to replace the two phases of "Nominations" and "Requests/Offers" with a "Request Phase" and an "Offers Phase," meaning that EVERYTHING in the fandom pool had a request behind it. However, that's got a downside as well, as sometimes you don't know you want something until you see it offered :p

Yuletide: good cause, logistical nightmare.

Sounds like more than a *logistical* nightmare for the mods - particularly when there's only two of them.

[silverr]

It's not just two, though. There are two modding the comm, it's true, but I think there are least two more who'll help do the manual matching, and there is at least one talented programmer doing the back end on Ao3.
