Hi! The spam is no problem. We're happy to answer any questions. :)
The only hard rule we follow is that this is a rare pair ship exchange, so the work you create needs to feature the pair in a shippy context. For the pre-relationship specifically, as long as it focuses on the pair in a shippy context, then it should fulfil the exchange.
Your assigned participant's likes and do not wants would ideally tell you whether they like mutual pining and pre-relationship scenarios and what other tropes/scenarios they're interested in—and if they don't, you're always welcome to ask them via us so you can create a work that they'd like.
