Yes, I really think there shouldn't be a problem. I'm thinking of this very last purimgifts, where I had a team of two writers sign up as one, with the understanding they'll receive only one gift (per purimgifts definitions of "one"), without this being anywhere stated in the rules. People who're willing to sign up as a team to a mixed-mode exchange know what they're getting into, and the willingness to do that exists.

What I was thinking, with team signups, is that teams need to signup as already formed - i.e. writer and podficcer finding each other, then only one of them filling the form on AO3, noting that they're a team; the other part of the team would then need to verify via PM or email. This way matching can run precisely as it did before from a mod-perspective.

If you do want to also have team-matching, the people to talk to would be the retiring mods on PT-L; they made a mention of having a software they use to match participants (it'll be passed on to the inheriting mod team). I have no idea whether that'll be possible to integrate into the existing Jukebox structure, but they'll be your best resource to talk to.

That said, the nominations period can also be used for writers and podficcers interested in teamwork to find each other, possibly with a comm post designated for this ("If you'd like to do a writer/podficcer collab on Jukebox, comment here!").

And talk to Paraka again; she seriously knows what she's doing, and possibly she'd be willing to extend a question on your behalf to the PT comm or direct them here to talk about it. (PT is now beginning, so it's an excellent time to ask.)
