Nothing makes me laugh more than how our one single fandom counts as 18 different fandoms according to AO3. The reason so much of pokexchange is run off AO3/by hand is because Pokemon fandom is literally too complex for AO3 to handle. I love pokemon, never change ♥️
A screenshot of AO3, showing that the Pokemon Holiday Exchange covers a list of 18 different "fandoms," but it's all actually just pokemon. It's just different franchises, like pokemon special, or each individual game, or the anime.

Matching is finally done... But it's 2AM and I'm falling asleep at the table, so assignments will be sent out as soon as I'm conscious tomorrow. Almost there! Thank you for your patience! 😭🙏💗
A blurry (for privacy reasons) photo of the pokexchange matching process - I write each person's requests on one slip and their offers on another slip, and then shuffle them around to make matches. 42 participants this year meant I wrote 84 slips of paper by hand. The photo shows rows of little slips matched two by two, taking over the entire surface of my dining room table, along with my laptop, a pen, and my glasses. Also, I'm having a chronic illness flare up so I'm sleeping more than usual. All of it takes a while! But I promise you'll have a fun time with your assignment because I think about each one carefully!
