Nominations are open! See the tag set. Nominations close at 11:59pm EDT on July 22.
Everyone starts with 8 fandoms to nominate and 5 characters or relationships per fandom. When nominations close on July 22, 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. Basically: I don't want to drown under a flood of nominations (plz have mercy), but I also don't want people to get to sign-ups and feel like they can't sign up because crucial things are missing.
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).
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.)

Questions:
-Would there be interest in a generic Worldbuilding tag for any fandoms? - OK, there is interest! Including that
-Do you have any questions about how specific fandoms should be handled? Please bring them up soon so we can get them sorted out.

Date: 2020-07-13 09:50 pm (UTC)I'd also like Power Rangers (TV) be grouped together. This is all the seasons of the show plus Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie. The other two movies are different continuity.
I'd like Final Fantasy VII Remake to be separated from Compilation of Final Fantasy VII since it is still vague how related the two are, but there are significant plot changes between Remake and the original game.
For the X-Men Movies, merged but able to specify timeline in nomination or split between OTM and ATM?
Finally, how do you want DC and Marvel comics to be handled?

Date: 2020-07-14 06:00 am (UTC)I will get back to you about the Arrowverse and comics. Do you have a preference for comics? I will look at how other exchanges have handled it.

Date: 2020-07-14 06:18 am (UTC)My only preference for DC comics is being able to specify which Kara Zor-El I mean when nominating her. Due to retcons and such there are three distinct versions of her in the main continuity comics. If it's merged into DCU (Comics) and I can just specify Kara Zor-El (DCU Comics Prime Earth) that is fine with me.
For Marvel, it's usually either all lumped together or split by universe. I don't have a strong preference for this as either way I'm nominating Felicia Hardy.

Date: 2020-07-14 01:53 pm (UTC)comic nominations, since many of the DCU favs have multiple versions (like Doctor Fate). As long as we can add a little tag that specifies which version of the character we're talking about during nominations, I'm good with that!
