I'm excited about this as it's not a fest style I've seen before and I'm looking forward to all the juicy feels!! I have a few suggestions.
Maybe Slash/Gen/Het/Fem rather than the eras would be simpler? It's more straight forward and I think there's more people out there who will be looking to write for a certain gender dynamic than for a specific era combination. As someone who writes only slash but has very few off-limit pairings, I will have to read all prompts on every post to find the one I like best. So slash/gen/fem/het potentially means people would have less to sift through to find a prompt that suits them?
Also I personally find the prompt template a bit OTT. It felt a bit more like I was filling out a gift template than a prompt. For me, the point of prompting is to inspire someone to do something with an idea that I wouldn't have thought of, so being too specific with do's and don't's is rather counterproductive. That might just be me though!
