Some padding is going to be done, for sure. I mean, with "guaranteed" series like Naruto, One Piece, The Lion King, etc., there will probably end up being multiple entries in the queue to increase the chance of them appearing, but there definitely needs to be a balance to that as well. Every other crossover can't be about Evangelion or Bleach, because it would start to get stale. Trying to find the balance between "series that most people will know and be able to contribute with" and "seeing the same five series over and over" is what we're looking for here, and both of you have good points about increasing frequency of popular series but having other series there to appeal to others.

I've been working on getting a list that hits most of the big series, spanning across decades and genres and mediums to give as diverse a feel as possible while still sticking to series that plenty of people should be familiar with. A polling on-site at Fanime might be done to help get a final balance before the panel. I have a couple safeguards built in to the generator as well for rerolling and such that should speed up the process should it come to that, but with tests I will have a better idea for what series work well and which don't.

But hey right now it's just cool to see that people are interested in the idea. Gotta keep our fingers crossed for the panel being approved!

Oh hey so I'm another one of the people behind this panel so I guess I'll come in and help answer questions and stuff.

If someone is unfamiliar with only one of the series, we can either provide a short description of the series (given that the series is simple enough for that), or that particular part of the prompt can be rerolled.
In the case of someone being unfamiliar with both series, we'll probably just reroll until a suitable prompt is created.
