To an extent: you can offer up to a certain number of characters you'll write (so as to not make the programming completely impossible). You will get at least one match of something you said you would write with one of the requests the requester made.
So, like, you offer to write the aforementioned Newsfic, Jesse's Girl, Scarecrow and Mrs King, Garfield, and Toy Story. You MIGHT get someone who requested four of those, and then you would be lucky and get to pick. Or, you might get someone who requested M*A*S*H*, Garfield, Stone Soup, and the Mary Tyler Moore Show. You COULD see the MTM prompt and go OH I like that even better! and write that even though it wasn't your match, but you would only be guaranteed one match, which you got.
