Nominations - Round 2

[modzilla]

Nominations

Nominations are open! See the tag set. Nominations close at 11:59pm EDT on July 27.

Everyone starts with 7 fandoms to nominate and 5 characters or relationships per fandom. When nominations close on July 27, I'll tidy up the tag set, then re-open nominations with a smaller slate, during sign-ups, so that you can nominate things you forgot.

Please check this community before nominations end, because I'm bound to have questions about the nominations. If I don't get answers, I may mess up and approve them wrong.

FFFX is using the Fandom and the Character tag slots for nominations. Characters, relationships, and a Worldbuilding option can be nominated in the Character slot - please read further for how to format them.

In the Fandom field, you can enter a canonical or non-canonical fandom (yes, it's okay if there's no fic for it yet on AO3).

If you want to nominate a relationship, please enter it as Group: Character/Character (Fandom) (for romantic or sexual relationships) or Group: Character & Character (Fandom) (for platonic relationships).

The Group: part is is really important and helps future tag users.

The punctuation / and & is very important to indicate what sort of relationship it is.

Putting the fandom at the end of the nomination is really helpful to stop the tags misbehaving.

Larger groups are OK - ie, "Group: Character/Character & Character/Character" means you're asking for two sets of pairings who are doing something together or otherwise relate to each other.

If you want to nominate a character, just enter their name with the (Fandom) at the end. Some may even autocomplete. Original characters are also OK as long as you describe a character who could have existed in canon, such as "Original Force-sensitive Character (Star Wars Original Trilogy)".

If you want to nominate Worldbuilding for a canon, to offer or request it, please nominate it as "Other: Worldbuilding (Fandom)" (filling in the relevant fandom).


Some fandom notes:
Please separate out Marvel movies and separate TV shows - ie, Iron Man (Movies) rather than MCU.

Please nominate the Star Wars movies according to trilogy - no "Star Wars (All Media Types)".

Arrowverse TV shows and DCU and Marvel comics are discussed here.

"All Media Types" fandoms will probably be approved last, overall, because I'll want to see if there's a more specific version of the fandom that's in conflict. And I don't know many fandoms. So if you already know that All Media Types is what's right for your fandom, consider dropping me a comment to clarify so that I can confidently approve it faster.

Where you want to nominate a relationship between characters who appear in different fandoms, please nominate them under Crossover Fandom and include the fandom for each. For example: Group: Arya Stark (ASoIF)/Elsa (Frozen - Movies). Please be specific if the fandom name could refer to different versions and adaptations. You can ask for general crossovers between fandoms by nominating "Other: Worldbuilding (Fandom 1 & Fandom 2)"

You can also nominate characters and groups under Original Work. Please indicate the genders of the characters if that is important to you. If someone requests Original Work characters or relationships with ambiguous genders, the preference of the person requesting takes precedence over the preference of the person offering. (But you can ask to add a more specific version to the tag set during sign-ups if that is an issue.)


Please feel free to use the comments to ask questions or brainstorm with others.

Unbanning & some round 2 statistics

If you defaulted, or failed to post a work, after November 16 last year, or if you did not comment on your gift (or both), you may not sign up to round 2. That is fixable, as you can comment on your gift - or discuss with me why that may be impossible - and post a make-up gift (or two half-gifts) to be unbanned. If you are posting two half-gifts, they don't have to be for the same request or even the same person. I especially encourage you to post a gift for a pinch hitter.

Some interesting stats:
-143 people signed up to round 1
-Of that number, 42 defaulted after mid-November or did not post; between this and 12 people not commenting on gifts, nearly 1/3 of the original participants are not (yet) eligible to sign up this round (so you may be in good company if you are not eligible! But please comment)
-131 accounts received gifts
-32 accounts that were not signed up created gifts. ♥

This is a good time to check if you left a placeholder comment on your gift. Or just to read it again, if you liked it.

I am familiar with that canon and that nomination makes sense to me. Probably easier than The Avengers/Guardians of the Galaxy, since it's not so clear - to me - from that example if a giant orgy is desired or just some combinations across the groups.

Out of curiosity, would you expect all eight companion angels to be major characters, or is it the sort of thing where as long as several of the angels' stories were expanded on, that would fulfil the spirit of the tag for you?

[shahrizais]

The latter, definitely! I wouldn't expect a focus on more than one or two angels, but I don't have a preference for which particular angels are major characters - just so long as a few of them are focused on. Does that make sense?

[modzilla]

Sure. I'll try to think of a way to say that concisely (Author's Choice of... doesn't seem to quite work, because then you might get JUST one pairing) but if I can't think of something very clever, I'll approve it as you've put it here.

[shahrizais]

I would actually be completely okay with Author's Choice of Elua's Companions/Their D'Angeline Lovers, if that's easier for you!
