Nominations Open!

[fic_in_a_box_mod]

Nominations are open! Nominations will be open until Tuesday August 18th at 11:59 pm EDT. (This was incorrect before, sorry! The schedule on the first post is the correct one)

The tagset is here: https://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/4681

Please read the instructions below, and check the end for a couple initial clarifications!

 

Fandoms:

• All fandoms are allowed, including RPF, as long as all real people nominated are famous in their own right and over the age of 18.
• Crossovers: Should be nominated under Crossover Fandom.
• Original Works: Should be nominated under Original Works
• Megafandoms, franchises, etc: See below.
• As a general rule, if your fandom already has subfandoms nominated, please contact us before nominating a AMT type fandom.

Relationships:

• "/", "&", and "Solo:" relationship types are allowed.
  • "/" relationships are sexual and/or romantic.
  • "&" relationships are platonic.
  • "Solo:" relationships are for single characters.
• Please disambiguate your nominations. Your nominations should look like one of the following:
  
  • Character A/Character B (Fandom)
  • Character A & Character B (Fandom)
  • Solo: Character A (Fandom)
  • Solo: Ambiguous Group (Fandom)
  • Solo: Worldbuilding (Fandom)
  • Character A (Fandom A) / Character B (Fandom B)
  • Character A (Fandom A) & Character B (Fandom B)
  • Character A (Fandom A) in Fandom B
• For crossovers, please disambiguate on the characters and nominate them within Crossover Fandom. For example: "Varric Tethras (Dragon Age)/Nick Valentine (Fallout 4)"
• Crossovers where a character from fandom A visit canon B should be nominated like this: "Solo: Shang Qinghua (SVSSS) in Lord of the Rings" If there's more than one version of the canon and you care about which version you receive, specify that version in parentheses, for example "Solo: Shang Qinghua (SVSSS) in Lord of the Rings (Movies)."
• Ships in Original Works should be nominated as Character Type/Character Type, with any additional details you see as essential for the ship included. If the gender of the characters is important to you, please include it in the character tags.
• If you request an ambiguous group (eg: The [fandom] ensemble) we will assume that any member(s) of that group fulfill that request.
• You may request "Any" of a character type. For example, "Mikhaila Ilyushin/Any Female Talos I Employee". Similar to original works, please make sure any important information is within the Any character tag.

Opt-ins

• This is for medium or length
• You can specify any medium you want, but it must be clear to your creator and easily enforceable for the mods.
• We will only be accepting mediums after they have an equivalent to 1k fanfiction. If you're confident with us making that call or if your medium is just a more specific version of a medium which is already on the list, you can nominate and wait (we'll post on the clarifications post if we need your input). Otherwise, please post on the Mediums post (link).
• Length can be any length under 1k words and above 69 words.
• Please nominate these using "Medium Opt-In:" or "Length Opt-In:" like the following examples:
  • Medium Opt-In: Macaroni art
  • Length Opt-In: 666 minimum

Nomination info for specific fandoms:

• As a general rule, if there are already specific subfandoms accepted for your fandom, please
• Marvel Cinematic Universe nominations may be nominated under the appropriate movie subfranchise (Thor, GotG, etc) or in Avengers. If nominating in a subfranchise (for example, Thor (Movies)), all characters in the nom should have appeared in a movie from that subfranchise. Agents of SHIELD, Agent Carter, and the Marvel Netflix universe of shows are also all separate fandoms. The Marvel Netflix shows should be nommed together under The Defenders (Marvel TV).
• Marvel comics may be nominated by title or under the name of the appropriate Marvel universe (Marvel 616, Marvel Ultimates, etc). Nominations for “Marvel (Comics)” will not be accepted.
• Star Wars nominations may be nominated under the appropriate movie, trilogy, TV show, etc (eg, Rogue One, Sequel Trilogy). “Crossover” noms between different parts of the Star Wars universe may be nominated under “Star Wars - All Media Types.”
• Star Wars Old EU: Books should go under "Star Wars: Legends Books" and be disambiguated with (SWL Books). Comics should go under "Star Wars: Legends Comics" and be disambiguated with (SWL Comics). Games should go into their individual games either combined or split depending on what is normal for that fandom.
• Naruto, Boruto, and Dreaming of Sunshine should be nominated separately. Please nominate Dreaming of Sunshine as "Dreaming of Sunshine - Silver Queen (disambiguated for exchanges)". Relationship nominations that involve one or more DoS character and one or more Naruto/Boruto character should be nominated under the fandom "Crossover Fandom".
• Buffy: The Vampire Slayer and Angel: The Series will both be nommed together under “Buffyverse (TV).”
• Buffy comics: Nominate this separately from the TV shows.
• Star Trek is divided by show and the Alternate Original Series is alone. Movie characters from the Original Series or Next Gen movies may be nominated under the respective shows.
• DC Comics: All DC Comics nominations can go under that fandom, but please disambiguate which version of the character you want in parenthesis after each character.
• DC's Arrowverse: Please nominate characters from Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman, and Black Lightning (plus the webseries tie-ins) under "DC's Arrowverse".

• Assassin's Creed: Please nominate Assassin's Creed under "Assassin's Creed - All Media Types"
• X-men Movies: Please nominate these under "X-men (Movieverse)"
• Legend of Zelda: These should be nominated in their separate games, but please make sure that the disambiguation is unique to that game!
• The Witcher: Please nominate these in their individual fandoms, not AMT
• The Mechanisms: Please nominate under "The Mechanisms (Band)" with a disambiguation of either (The Mechanisms) or the specific album.
• Historical RPF: Please split these into subfandoms that indicates what timeperiod the nominated people are in. If there may be confusion about the identity of a nominated person, please be as specific as is reasonable.

Thanks!

Meanwhile, it looks like my other nomination, Highlander: the Series, is merrily hanging out in both the TV and the Movie categories. It's a TV show.

Those I won't be able to do anything about. We can control the fandoms, but AO3 does all the categories. There are some things that will end up in multiple categories that it really makes no sense for them to be there, but as long as the Fandom name is correct we just have to ignore it.

That’s weird. Thanks for letting me know.
