Thanks. For the Yuletide exchange, the first thing that happens is everyone who want to nominates three rare fandoms to be included in the eligible list of fandoms and up to 4 characters in each of these fandoms. A team of us then sort through these to check the fandoms meet the eligibility criteria, merge duplicates, check character names, etc. After this the list becomes public and people point out mistakes, lobby for fandoms to be included or removed, before signups happen. It is a lot of fun, and tends to be a good way to find out about a lot of interesting books. :)
