I'd love to second this; it'd be nice to ask writers (when submitting their snippet to describe their story, maybe?) if they have a preference for a scene/character/medium so artists could try to align themselves with this if they want.
However, I'm not sure how this could be done for artists who might be interested in a story even though their medium isn't the one the writer would prefer most. Could artist perhaps hand in their top 3 choices of stories and be matched up? That way that first-come-first-serve situation some spoke against in the previous post could be avoided too. It could also be useful for back-ups, in the sense that if artist A has to step down unexpectedly but artist B has already finished and had artist's A's story put as first choice, they could be asked if they'd love to do something for it.
Yet maybe it should also be noted that last round, while 127 writers signed-up, 23 stories were finished; yet, 68 artists signed-up and 72 piece of arts were finished. Participation will likely be very different this time, but the artist/writer ratio will probably be high enough that everyone should be able to get their first or second choices easily and replacements wouldn't be terribly needed (but keeping back-ups is always a great idea, if you could make some post for them towards the deadline; I loved being a back-up last year).
