Hi!! Thank you, I'm excited too and very grateful for everybody who said they would like an AO3 art exchange because that was my inspiration to run it.
To be honest, my reason for disallowing Any nominations this round was to avoid ambiguous moderating situations in fandoms I am not familiar with. ("Any" requests/offers are going to be allowed because they are confined to the nominated tagset and therefore a lot less ambiguous to moderate.) If the tag is nominated as "Creator's Choice" rather than "Any" I am happy to approve it.
Nominating "Object: the Contents of [Character]'s Backpack" under any fandom, or "Object: the Contents of Creator's Choice of Character's Bag" under Creator's Choice of Fandom would be fine and I have been approving nominations like that.
With that being said I would not be inclined to approve any variation on "Any Fandom I've Requested Before" ("Creator's Choice of Any Fandom I've Requested Before", etc...) because that puts a lot of work on the creator to go looking through old requests and letters, and on the mod to enforce which fandoms "count", so while it's a fun idea, I feel like right now it's really beyond the scope of this particular exchange.
