Interest in AO3 based exchange

So, I was wondering if there was enough interest in an Archive of our Own based Hetalia exchange?  If there was, what would you want it to be like?

I'd certainly consider it, especially if it started after Yuletide so those who participate in it aren't ripping their hair out over multiple deadlines. The usual exchange planning requires 1,000 words in about six weeks, so that seems reasonable to me.

For requesting, I think you could go with four requests, whether for individual characters or pairings or both, and a minimum of four and maximum of eight offers for the same. Additional details for the requests would be helpful, but not absolutely binding. However, I don't know how people feel about AUs (whether 'canon' ones like Gakuen or Nyotalia or Nekotalia, or everyone-is-human-AU, or 2P, or alternate/counterfactual history, or whatever), but I wonder whether requesters should be allowed to specify in either the request or a Dear Author letter whether they will or won't accept AUs, or which ones they do/don't want to see.

Oh, it definitely wouldn't be until after Yuletide. I have been voluntold into helping a friend with her first exchange. Something about me owing her after making her do two pinch hits on top of her own assignment in my last one.

I'd definitely let people give optional details in their sign ups. Hmmm, maybe I could use AU tags that aren't binding but could help people match?
