Hi! I am very keen to participate but I have never taken part in one of these events before and I don't really understand how it works, so I have some probably very stupid questions.
Mostly, I am not clear on what nominations are, and how they differ from requests and offers. Must I nominate to be able to make requests and offers, and to be given an assignment? I am also not sure what 'worldbuilding tags' are - are these what usually goes under 'additional tags' when posting on AO3, or are they a specific subset of things (for example, would 'angst' or 'established relationship' go here, or is this for broader themes?).
I hope this is OK - I probably need a 'fic exchanges for beginners' primer, as although I've been in fandom on and off for 20 years I've never actually participated before!
