Hey! Really glad you're doing this again, and I can barely wait :D

I wanted to ask if it was also possible to do matching on worldbuilding like for the Goblin's Emperor exchange? Personally, I'd be really interested in that, too. If it's too much extra work, though, I'm totally fine with the way things are!

I'm really excited, too! :)

I like the idea, and I don't think it would be extra work! I've seen it used in situations where you request worldbuilding as an alternative to characters--is that the idea?

[prinzenhasserin]

I don't know how you want to run matching, so either like that - worldbuilding as an alternative to characters - or as an alternative to relationships, possibly?
I really like worldbuilding in the greater sense of the world, like possibly the discourse between Relius and the Magus; or greater mythology specifically about Eugenides the God, or Immakuk and Ennikar, and they aren't really divorced from the characters.
That could also be put into optional details, of course, so idk how that would be done best.

[pendrecarc]

Those would be great prompts. :) My plan for characters/relationships is to do tagging the same way Fandom 5k did, and a few other exchanges I've seen around, so they'd both be in the Character tag. I think the simplest thing would be to put worldbuilding in the same tag, as this exchange doesn't use freeforms.

Sure, that sounds great :D
