if you want to go big and multifandom i would recommend ao3 because it will make matching a whole lot easier on your life, but you would have to basically follow the optional details are optional viewpoint of yuletide because ao3 isn't going to be taking things like squicks or really specific desires to receive or to write (because trust me some people are only interested in writing a really narrow band of fic)

but i would say only consider that as an option if you're looking at more than 30 participants. anything smaller than that can be done by hand with a little work and tearing your hair out but you'll probably achieve better specificity of matches.

sorry i wasn't looking at the thread correctly and i assumed you were still talking abt an exchange and not a regular fic fest so maybe ignore me!

if it's happening, then it'd definitely be on ao3 lol even with less than 30 joining it'd be hard to handle with my current time + isn't ao3 the place right now? most of the recently produced fics are posted there.

i have participated in yuletide and found the thing 'just avoid your recipient's squicks/DNWs' to be enough. idk how manual matching work, *seriously though, kudos to all the mods who spend hours doing that lmao, just thinking about it gave me a headache. THANK YOU mods.* so doing it based on lj is a no no.

but there are a few fandom-specific exchanges that run on ao3, how did the matching worked for them?

*saw your second comment*
i'm thinking of an exchange rather than fest.

not op, but rather the one from the other comment above \o/

idk about others but because people were...really specific in their desires, i basically had to run the matching, go through each one and identify if it was a good or bad (or passable but could be better) match, and then rematch all the bad matches to each other @___@ which mostly worked, i think, but it was way more stressful than just doing it by hand but with that number of participants it wasn't remotely feasible to do it by hand.
