We will almost certainly stick with this unless anyone comes up with compelling arguments against it; do let us know if it's going to cause widespread problems.
Changes for this round
Art: Art will be allowed as a medium this round, including as a matching criterion.
Different types of "After Dark" content: We are considering using a small number of freeform tags to allow participants to express which types of content that fit the overall theme (M/E rated femslash) they are interested in receiving/creating. We are open to suggestions about what these freeforms could include.

However if you go this route, I'm unsure about the way matching will be implemented. For example, I'm open to receiving a story with violent content, but I would be disappointed not to receive smut. So I would like to match on either "smut only" or "smut and violence" but not "violence only."
If you can figure out a way to make that happen, then I would be supportive! But like the poster said above, I really like the way it ran last year. I'm open to the idea of limited freeforms, but I'd be just as happy without them.
