If you are not a member, you can still join, but it just makes things easier if you are. For example, if someone gifted you with a gift that was over an R rating, you would not be able to read it, since we friends lock all NC-17 posts. Also, membership shows us that each person involved is over the age of consent in their region - saves our butts so we're not breaking the law by gifting prOn to 14 year olds.
I'm willing to be a back-up writer/artist: You would answer yes or no. If someone backs out of the exchange and we need a last-minute request filled, we call on the back-up people to write or draw another gift, so that no one is left out. In most cases, we only need one or two volunteers, but it's nice to know who's willing, just in case.

I hope that helps.
