Nominating
Nomination is how you add things to the tagset! Mediums aren't matchable via Ao3, but participants can opt into mediums other than fanfiction and then if you're someone who wishes to match on one of those mediums you'll be able to email us (ficinaboxmod@gmail.com) or contact us via a google form (to be posted later).
This post is where you should nominate any mediums you want added to the tagset!
If you're nominating a medium where the equivalent needs to be discussed you should only nominate if you are someone who intends to create the medium within the exchange. If it's a new length opt-in, another form of something already in the tagset, or something that fits easily into the Rulesets anyone can nominate.
When nominating a medium, please include the following categories:
There is an example (and by example I mean a real medium the mods are nominating) below for reference!
Other Info
Almost all tags from last year were imported into this year's tagset. Those excluded were because they required unique rules and weren't posted last year, with some of them being potentially out of scope of the exchange upon further reflection. The following tags were excluded (those with stars are potentially out of scope):All of these can be renominated by someone who intends to create them, including those which may be out of scope! Those with stars will need further discussion (either due to scope issues or due to the addition of templates and the rulesets possibly changing how they should be equated), those without can be renominated directly. If the list style mediums are renominated I have a draft of a ruleset for those.

Ruleset(s): Unique Rules
Unique Rules:
I think the wordcount minimum equivalent for this needs to be bigger than 1k simply because of all of the work involved and because a dress up game without several dress up options doesn't make any sense. I think a minimum of 3k equivalent would be about right for an acceptable but not very complex dress up game:
- 500 words for the effort involved in sorting out all the individual parts and getting them up on the website of the artist's choosing in a manner that can be used as a dress up game*
- 500 words for the base/mannequin of the character being dressed up
- 250 words for each unique (no recolors) clothing piece, hair style, accessory, etc. for a minimum of at least 8 unique dress up items.
- 500 words for a detailed background, but this is optional and the dress up game still needs at least 8 items, so a dress up game with detailed background would wind up 3500 words minimum.
* Like the Twine ruleset, it would probably make sense to give a full 1k of credit for dress up games that are otherwise worth 5k+, since the more pieces you have to wrangle the harder it is.
What is it:
Online dress-up games are a style of online game where the player gets to select clothing, hair styles, background images, etc from a selection of premade assets to make their own picture. Most people will probably be familiar with picrew, a Japanese site that allows users to make their own dress up games for others to play.
I would like this opt-in medium tag to cover picrew, meiker.io, and any other website that lets people upload their own art to turn it into a dress up game — I think the artist should get to pick the site, since picrew is in Japanese and meiker.io requires .PSD files. I also found what looks like a good tutorial for coding a dress up game from scratch in html/css/javascript. I realize that interactive fiction lets people specify twine vs not twine but I don't think people have, uh, gifted enough dress up games in exchanges for us to need that option?
Other Info:
I would definitely welcome input from other artists about the minimums and stuff! Also I haven't specifically looked for this info but I suspect that making an erotic dress up game on picrew/meiker.io might be against the terms of service...
Finally we might also want to think about extra/different credit for:
- multiple backgrounds
- items in multiple colors (eg, the same hair style but several colors, the same base but a variety of skin tones)
- multiple bases/poses
- dress up games with two characters
