Hi mods! During sign-ups, is there a way to specify a specific DNW, user, or other thing that we're not comfortable/willing to accommodate or do a fill for? I don't see it anywhere listed, and I'm not sure I'm okay with signing up without being sure that I won't be matched with someone I can't write for, for whatever reason

We do not handmatch; we use AO3 and its matching algorithm. The best way to ensure you will not create something you're uncomfortable with is to have at least one offer of your three required offers matching another participant's request. You can look at all the requests and easily search for specific ships on the autoao3app.
This will also ensure you're not unmatchable, i.e. someone whose offers cannot be matched to anyone else's request. The mod team will contact unmatchable once signups are closed. Unmatchables will have 24 hours to make certain they're matchable or will have their signup deleted!
The mod team honors Do Not Match requests. Send us an email before signups close if you want to ask us not to match you with a particular other participant. Please let us know:
whether it's for creating, receiving, or both;
what you would like us to do if that participant offers to pick up your pinch hit;
what you would like us to do if that participant creates a treat for you.
