Oh! Thought that might've been it. I've actually given that some thought but opted out of it... first off, because it would make it more difficult for me to keep track of the whole meme, especially if I have to do IP hunts. And secondly, because it would kiiiiiiiiiiind of, imo, 'shoot at business.' Enabling is a matter of momentary enthusiasm: you see everyone requesting chars from a specific canon, you realize omg someone plays it, so you put down your own offer comment for something from it. Plus, a lot of people who maybe weren't that thrilled by the idea of a specific crew mate (who were just commenting at the meme to make a request for some other fandom) might stumble on the offer of someone who explains his/her perspective so brilliantly, that they decide to give that person a go. Not what they'd planned to do that day, but slaves to persuasion, you know?

If you separate the two - offers and requests - a lot of people will only stick in one thread, thinking they're perfectly fine with their initial comment, and without realizing the riches in the other post.




To be honest, the one thing that would definitely make the meme easier to navigate would be an index system like the one I keep saying I'll put together:

FANDOM: [link to offer/request thread1], [link to offer/request thread 2], .... etc

But from experience, assembling those takes shiny, shiny ages, orz
