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. If you're someone who wishes to match on one of those mediums as a creator you'll be able to email us (ficinaboxmod@gmail.com) or contact us here on DW.

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:

Medium: Ruleset(s): What is it: Other Info:

You may also nominate a medium with Unique Rules instead of a ruleset. In the interest of avoiding rules creep, new Unique Rules mediums should only be mediums that absolutely cannot fit into a ruleset and which have multiple people interested in creating them, or which can either be added to an existing set of Unique Rules or added as a variation to that section (for example, Murdle is substantially similar to Logic Puzzles with possibly the need for a + wordcount variation to account for the story section)

Changes Since Last Year

• The video ruleset now counts 30 seconds as equivalent to 1k
• Photos of an item made according to instructions now count towards wordcount in instructions
• Unreliable Narrator was removed as a medium

Nominations Guidelines 2022

[fic_in_a_box_mod]

This post is about nominations for tags that will be used in the fandom and relationship slots of your requests/tags. For opt-in medium nominations go to this post (link).

Before nominating, please read the "Nominations Guidelines" section of this post, even if you also read it last year. After you nominate, please keep an eye on the comm in case we need clarification from you before accepting a nomination.

How To Nominate

There are three methods of relationship nominations this year!

1) Fandom Transfer

Since the format of relationship nominations are not changing, we've been transferring the relationships/characters in fandoms from last year's tagset to this year's tagset upon request. Just head over to the Fandom Transfer Post and follow the instructions there!

2) Google form

All instructions are provided as you nominate, so you can look at our guidelines while inputting relationships! Go to the google form and follow the instructions provided to submit your nominations, filling the form out as many times as you want. (You don't need to disambiguate nominations when using the form; our spreadsheet will do that for you!) Your nominations will eventually either wind up in the tagset or show up in a nominations clarification post — please check back at this comm in case we have questions about your nominations. The google doc is anonymous. You don't have to read the rest of this post.

3) AO3 tagset nomination

This is how most people are used to nominating! If you're confident that you understand the nominations guidelines (provided below!) Then proceed to the tagset and input your nominations as directed. You will have 10 fandoms with 12 relationship slots. We will automatically reject anything that doesn't follow the guidelines below, but will query for other problems/questions. Check your nominations page and this comm to keep up to date on the status of your nominations.
