The Dirty Energy Source

Do you want to make a spreadsheet about spreadsheets?
Do you still need to figure out what two other fandoms you should request beside the only one you really want fic for?
Or are you trolling ALL the letter posts for placeholders, just so you can write those people some nice, dry coal?

We want to know all about it.

I think they tried something like that the first year that signups were on AO3 (which was... 2010?). I think we were allowed to use the optional tags box that year as well, to put stuff like "angst" or "humor" or "slash" that it would try to match on. But it either didn't help matching or was too much work for the algorithm, because that was the only time they did it.
