Second Nominations Questions

[modzilla]

Thanks to those who pointed out earlier errors. I haven't done all the fixes or additions that were suggested, but while I work on those, I have further questions.


Book of the Ancestor Series - Mark Lawrence - There's a Jole nominated, but I can't find them. Is this Zole?

Dragon Age (Video Games) - I need some help with the nomination "Group: Female Cullen/Female Amell & Meredith/Cullen & Cullen/Bethany & Cullen/Female Hawke" - it doesn't look to me as though Cullen has a customisable gender? If they do, which genders are meant for the relationships other than the first one?

Fallout (Video Games) - I approved this as a broad tag before, but I also have received nominations for Fallout 4 and Fallout: New Vegas. Could I get some opinions on whether this should be combined or separate, please?

A Land Fit for Heroes - Richard Morgan - Is the sword Ravensfriend a sentient character?

Natsume Yuujinchou | Natsume's Book of Friends - In the nomination "Group: Youkai (Natsume Yuujinchou)", is this any youkai or a specific set of youkai?

Power Rangers (Boom! Comics) - I can't find Ranger Slasher Kimberly Hart. Is this meant to be Ranger Slayer Kimberly Hart?

Ruse (Comics) - is the "Danik" separate from Bishop? How does this work?

Original Work & Crossover Fandom Tags

[modzilla]

This post is intended as a sorted reference for the tags nominated in Crossover Fandom and Original Work.

I will note the last-updated time, but if there is a clash between this post and the tag set, treat the tag set as authoritative.

Sign-Ups

[modzilla]

Sign-ups are open at AO3. They will remain open until 11:59pm EDT, August 7.

Basics
-Ask for 4-10 fandoms, 1-10 "character" tags in each, and in each of your requests, tick at least one of the additional tags that specifies what kind of gift you're interested in.

-Offer 4-10 fandoms, 1-10 "character" tags in each, and in each of your offers, tick at least two of the additional tags that specifies what kind of gift you're willing to create.

-In fffx's tagset, the "characters" field covers characters, relationships, and worldbuilding. fffx uses OR matching - you will get, or create, a gift focusing on one of those tags. The best way to request all the characters you want together is to select a single "character" tag that names all of them in your preferred configuration.

-You can repeat fandoms - ie, you can ask for Original Work twice. You still need 4 unique fandom offers and 4 unique fandom requests.

-Please list dealbreaking Do-Not-Wants in your sign-ups, but also see Unusual Things, below.

-ETA: Participants must be aged 18 or over.


Additional Tags
If you request Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic, you will receive 1 gift that is a comic of at least 10 pages or at least 40 panels. (Ie, if there are 40 distinct panels, it can have 9 pages. If there are 10 full pages, it's okay if there are only 36 panels.)

If you request Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic OR 2 x 5-Page Comics at Artist's Discretion, you may receive 1 gift that is a comic of 10 pages or at least 40 panels, or you may receive 2 gifts of 2 comics that are each half that long. (If selecting that option, there is no downside to also selecting Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic. But you don't have to.)

If you request Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic, you will receive 1 gift that is a fanfic of at least 10,000 words.

If you request Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic OR 2 x 5000-Word Fics at Author's Discretion, you may receive 1 gift that is a fanfic of at least 10,000 words, or you may receive 2 gifts of 2 fic that are each half that long. (If selecting that option, there is no downside to also selecting Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic. But you don't have to.)

It is possible that if you select both Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic OR 2 x 5-Page Comics at Artist's Discretion AND Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic OR 2 x 5000-Word Fics at Author's Discretion, you may get two gifts, one of which is a 5-page comic and 1 of which is a 5,000-word fic. However, it's unlikely and - even if you have opted into getting 2 shorter gifts - is entirely up to your creators.

You have to offer two Additional Tags. If you are someone who creates only in 1 medium, you can select both the Fanart tags, or you can select both the Fanfic tags.


Unusual Things fffx Is Doing
Please be aware before you sign up that:

-Letters left incomplete or locked on September 14 will be removed from your sign-up. Please don't link to a letter (an external document containing prompts, general preferences, etc) unless you're confident you can complete it. Of course, you can't predict the future, but if you can't finish your letter within five weeks of sign-ups ending (preferably much earlier!) you probably won't finish it or have more to worry about than an exchange. I will of course send a reminder before removing your letter, but depending on what communication channels I can use or you can check, you may not see it.

-This exchange requires you to put prompts, or general likes, or something you like about the canon, in the AO3 form. It doesn't have to be long or eloquent, but something other than your DNWs is required.

-Yes, the tag set is open again. (Which is why I haven't enabled "any" on offers or requests.) This is on the honor system: please only add nominations that you, personally, are going to offer or request, or where you are adding them for a friend who intends to offer or request them. If you are adding things you want to offer, consider making a promo post for them so that people know they're there.


Please consider your DNWs carefully. "DNW: unrequested relationships" might suit a 1k relationship-based exchange that also matches on freeforms like "trapped together in an elevator", but is likely to cause stress to someone considering a longer plot and what level of mention of what sort of relationship, implying a larger world, is banned. DNWs should give guidance but not constrict your author to a plot that is exponentially narrower than the possibilities of the tag you requested.
