Nominations are now open! They will be open until April 24th, 11:59PM EDT. [ Countdown ] [ In your timezone ]

Please make sure you read the rules, especially regarding ship eligibility and further information about nominations that is not covered in this post.

An AO3 account is required to make nominations. Should you need an invitation, please reach out to the mods via email or the comments section of this post. Anon comments are on, but they are not screened.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: To qualify for this exchange, the ship needs to have less than 250 works on AO3, be complete and written in English, and be filtered using the otp:true filter. If you're unsure of how to filter a work via AO3, please see this comment here on the Rules/Guidelines post explaining how to use the "otp:true filter".

Key points to keep in mind while nominating:
  • You can nominate up to 10 fandoms with 10 relationships ("/" only) each. We will not be accepting solo character nominations or relationships using "&".

  • All nominations must be disambiguated with the name of the canon after the ship, e.g. "Theodore "Laurie" Laurence/Amy March (Little Women — Gerwig 2019)". If they are not disambiguated, you risk your nomination being rejected.

  • Please specify which version of canon you would like rather than nominating under the 'all media' version of the tag, e.g. "Dragon Age (Video Games)" vs "Dragon Age (All Media)".

  • The only current exceptions to the above rule are Assassin's Creed and American Girl Dolls. Both can be nominated under their "All Media Types" tag.

  • Crossover nominations: Please nominate crossovers with "Crossover Fandom" in the "Fandom" section of the nomination form, with the crossover relationships filling up the relationship textbox. i.e. "Crossover Fandom", "Natasha Romanov (MCU)/Dinah Lance (DCEU)".

  • We do not allow Reader/Canon Character pairings and recursive fic to be nominated for this exchange.


Regarding specific fandoms with various umbrella fandoms:
  • Arrowverse/DCTV: Please nominate under "Arrowverse (TV)". Shows the aren't specifically in the Arrowverse but are considered to exist within the DCTV universe (i.e. Smallville, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Titans, Doom Patrol, etc.) should remain with their original tag. Arrow, The Flash (2014), and Supergirl belong under "Arrowverse".

  • DC Extended Universe: Please nominate under the "DCEU", i.e. "Dinah Lance/Lois Lane (DCEU)".

  • MCU: Please nominate under "Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)", e.g. "Maria Hill/Sam Wilson (MCU)". Movies such as Captain America, Guardians of the Galaxy, etc. should be nominated under "MCU".

    Marvel TV shows (i.e. Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, WandaVision, TFATWS, Agent Carter, What If …?, Loki, etc.) are to be nominated as separate entities from MCU (i.e. WandaVision would be nominated under "WandaVision", not "MCU").

  • Doctor Who/Star Wars/Star Trek/X-Men/Stargate: Please refer to the specific version that you are nominating. For X-Men, please use either "The Original Trilogy" or "ATS" (for "Alternate Timeline Series") for the live action films, and ensure that any cartoon nominations are disambiguated with their cartoon canons i.e. "X-Men '97".

  • Comics: Please nominate these under their specific category. For DCU, that would be "DCU (Comics)". With Marvel, please specify the version that you are nominating (Noir, 616, etc.), i.e. "Natasha Romanov/Carol Danvers (Marvel 616)".

  • Characters who are in separate subfandoms (e.g. "Jadzia Dax (Star Trek: DS9)/B'Elanna Torres (Star Trek: Voyager)") belong to the "Crossover Fandom" category.

  • Original characters in non-original canons: You may nominate Canon Character/Original Character(s), e.g. "Diana (Wonder Woman)/Original Female Character"; "Jess Mariano (Gilmore Girls)/Original Characters". These belong under the canon character's fandom.

    You can be as specific as you would like. If you do not specify a gender within the tag, you cannot box your creator into a specific combination, so please make sure to request the dynamic you would prefer.

  • Original Works: These must be nominated under "Original Work" in the following format: "Character Type/Character Type", e.g. "Princess/Maid", "Pilot/Soldier/General", etc. If they are not nominated in this way, they will be rejected.

    You can be as specific as you like, i.e. "Pilot (M)/Soldier (M)/General (F)". Please remember that you cannot box your creator in with a specific dynamic that isn't already indicated by the nominated tag.


If you have any questions or would like to seek clarification on a potential nomination, please comment here or email the mods at rarepairexmod@gmail.com. Happy nominating!
