It's the most wonderful time of the year

It is really close to sign up time for this again. I have four questions for y'all, and I don't feel like making a poll, so answer them as you will.

1) What new fandoms have big threesome ships?

2) What new fandoms have a threesome you're interested in, even if it's not big? I usually add one to the offer list. I am leaning towards Losers, but I may be persuaded to pick something else.

3) Would it be easier/better/more fun/etc. to run this on AO3? I'm leaning against, to be honest, but I am willing to hear arguments for it.
subquestion to 3: Even if I don't move the challenge to 3 Ships, would people who are posting their fic to AO3 like a collection, or are y'all happy just to tag it?

4) Do you know a better online commenting system than Disqus? A few people said they had trouble logging into the system or that it had accessibility issues, but I never could figure out what it was that was causing the problem, exactly. How are IntenseDebate or Instacomment for you?

The only two completely new fandoms that I can think of with big threesome 'ships are Sherlock Holmes (2009) and White Collar (which had technically premiered by the time sign-ups rolled around last year, but only a few episodes had aired then). The new series of Doctor Who has spawned three pretty popular threesomes, but it's already on the list since it's not technically an entirely new fandom so that probably doesn't help much.

I have to admit, the one good thing I can see about moving things to AO3 is - as others have said - that would make it a lot easier to offer/request smaller fandoms. I usually just tell you to poke at me if you have any obscure requests, since I'm basically in every fandom ever known, but I know that a lot of people (myself included) tend to not request threesomes from smaller fandoms simply because the odds are nobody offered to write for it because they didn't want to clutter up the spreadsheet any more than it already is.

As for collection vs. tagging, I really have no preference. I already have my stories tagged with Community: 3_ships, so they're fairly easy to find if someone's searching.
