Thanks for all the effort you are putting in! There seems to be quite an admin burden associated with hosting nominations on AO3, but perhaps in the pre-AO3 years it was always much smaller. The first year I participated (2004) I think there were only a few hundred of us! As you write it does allow bringing in a big pool of tag mod volunteers.

I must admit I'm really looking forward to seeing this year's tagset. I shall be interested to see what effect reducing noms to three has had -- beyond an increase in dental services. And obviously what fandoms I might want to offer.
