Nominations now open!

[rarepairmod]

Nominations are now open! They will be open until May 21st, 11:59PM EDT. [ Countdown to nominations closing ] | [ In your timezone ]

Please make sure you read the rules for the exchange here, 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, we will request that this disambiguation be made before accepting the nomination. If the disambiguation is not made by the time nominations close, the nomination will be 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)".


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


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

Regarding specific fandoms with various umbrella fandoms:

• Arrowverse/DCTV: Please nominate under "Arrowverse (TV)". Shows not specifically in the Arrowverse but are part of the DC TV universe (i.e. Smallville, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Titans, Doom Patrol, etc.) should remain with their original tag. Shows such as Arrow and The Flash (2014) belong under "Arrowverse".


• MCU: Please nominate under "Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)", e.g. "Maria Hill/Sam Wilson (MCU)". Marvel TV shows (i.e. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, WandaVision, TFATWS, Agent Carter, What If …?, Loki, etc.) need to be labelled with their own individual tag.
  
  The movies such as Captain America, Guardians of the Galaxy, etc. should be nominated under "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").


• 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)".


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


• 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 Character/Original Character(s), e.g. "Diana (Wonder Woman)/Original Female Character"; "Jess Mariano (Gilmore Girls)/Original Characters".
  
  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 and/or would like to seek clarification on a potential nomination, please comment here or email the mods at rarepairexmod@gmail.com. Happy nominating!

Would the Marvel Netflix shows (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, etc) also fall under the MCU?

[rarepairmod]

Thanks for asking! You would nominate them under the specific show, rather than the umbrella tag.

Do we need to press Join on AO3 to see the page for suggesting nominations? I'm having trouble finding it if not

[rarepairmod]

Hi! Please do not select "Join" on the collection. The tagset of nominations is here. If you have an AO3, you can make nominations via the grey box at the top of the page. The grey box says "Nominate".

[rarepairmod]

It's totally fine! I know that when you join you might miss out on specific notifications from the collection and we don't want that to happen for you!
