What happens when there are a lot of applications for one subject? Is it first come, first served?
No. If a subject receives many applications, it’s not necessarily given to the first person who applies. We judge the applications on many different factors, such as the person’s html skills, level of fanness (judged by comments etc.), number of fanlistings on upcoming, number of fanlistings in the fandom, etc. The list goes on, and each staffer weighs these factors differently. There is no specific, uniform formula on who gets selected, but every staffer makes the choices he or she believes is best.
