I'm very glad to read that you are excited! And believe it or not:
I once had a Slash/Gen/Het- Form, in the plan, while I disregarded it (for the moment) is because the idea for this com came with someone telling me: "Uhhh I totally want to write this character, but I have no clue about which story" and the plan was to make a com- where you can go to, with your character in mind and search all the prompts concerning this character- and then because I didn't want people to go through tons and tons of prompts I figured it's best to make a separation of the characters- and I went with the one that seems obvious to me and took the books and the school times. Mind you I was warned fairly often that 4 prompting posts are way to much, and I agree, but I didn't know any better way (still don't) But I totally get where you are coming from with now you have to scroll through tons of (hopefully soon to be there) prompts and change posts... I AM taking your suggestion into consideration, because it's my concern too - but like where would I put three-somes in? Like the one where there is first a gender on gender and then the swap? (That is one of the points I couldn't figure out) Maybe it would help you if in the Subject-Line people have to state what kind of relationship they prefer?
As for the prompt- template: it first had two lines: Prompter and Prompt - but then I had to considere- that they people want to read the stories for their prompts, but also that there will be some things the will not like to read- so I added the rest - you can totally not fill it out and just delete it (i can also now in this round add the short version for people who are not easy squicked and who just want to leave a prompt- would that be a compromise that may work for you? Like a prompt template for the weak-hearted and one for the laid-back, give me everything? I totally want to make your stay here as awesome as you envision it!
Also thank your for your suggestions, your comment and your prompts!
