Nominations Open

[settiai]

Nominations are open, and they'll stay open through 11:59pm EDT on 18 October. You're allowed to nominate up to 10 fandoms, with up to 10 relationships per fandom.

The tag set is located here: https://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/4750

In order to nominate a relationship, simply click the Nominate button located in the top right-hand corner of the tag set. If you do not have an account on the AO3, please let me know, and I should be able to get you an invite. On a similar note, if you have any questions, or if you're nominating something that you think might be confusing, please either post a comment to this post or send an e-mail to holly.poly.exchange@gmail.com if you'd rather keep it private.

Please don't panic if I add some type of disambiguation to relationships that you nominate. Especially for ones where the same characters fall under different fandoms (various comic fandoms, movie/TV show vs. book fandoms, etc.), as doing so helps keeps tags from wandering to fandoms where they don't belong.

This is an exchange for romantic and/or sexual relationships, not friendships, so make certain to nominate relationships that use a "/" rather than a "&". If you want to request that a relationship be asexual/queerplatonic/etc., then that's something to include in your optional details when signing up.

Please note that while [Specific Character]/[Specific Group of Characters] is acceptable as a nomination, [Specific Character]/Everyone is too broad.

For example: Lex Luthor/Lionel Luthor's Board Members is acceptable because "Lionel Luthor's Board Members" involves a finite group of people. The same goes for Voldemort/Death Eaters, Shipwrecked Sailor/Mermaids, and Peter Pan/Lost Boys. While Carol Danvers/Anyone and Everyone or Jack Harkness/Everyone He's Ever Met are understandable, they're too broad because it could essentially involve an infinite number of people.

If you have any questions about a relationship you want to nominate that might potentially be too broad, leave a comment or send an e-mail.

RPF characters must be 18+ at the time of nomination. Significant others/children/etc. of public figures are not permitted unless they are public figures in their own right.

If you have any questions about what fandom to use when making nominations, or any other questions in general, please feel free to leave a comment on this post. You can also send an e-mail to holly.poly.exchange@gmail.com.

Nomination Clarifications #1

[settiai]

Nominations have only been open for twelve(ish) hours, and we already have 663 relationships in 129 fandoms nominated. I'm working on approving them as quickly as possible as they come in, but I do have some things like "work" and "sleep" and "D&D" that I have to deal with so things may slow down a bit later today.

That said, I already have a couple of questions for people.

Whoever nominated Hawke/Meredith Stannard/Orsino under Dragon Age - All Media Types, do you have a preference for gender when it comes to Hawke?

For The Magnus Archives (Podcast), just to clarify: are Helen | The Distortion and Helen Richardson separate characters? I'm familiar enough with TMA to know that there's some merging with other entities and such involved with those character(s), so I just wanted to clarify that they're different enough to be listed separately as there are several relationships nominated using both tags.

For Captive Prince - C. S. Pacat, the following nominations are too broad: Laurent/Nicaise/Others, Laurent/Others, and Nicaise/Others. If those are your nominations, please edit them to be a bit more specific than simply "Others."

Also, if someone who's more familiar than me with the various Final Fantasy games can take a look at the current nominations to make sure nothing needs to be combined/edited, I'd greatly appreciate it. It's one of the only big fandoms that I know almost nothing about, so some oddities usually slip through without me noticing.

If you have any questions or are one of the people who needs to provide clarification, you can reply to this post or send an email to holly.poly.exchange@gmail.com.

Please note: If you notice that I've changed the order of the people in the relationship you've nominated from B/C/A to A/B/C or something along those lines, there's nothing wrong! It's simply a trick that I've picked up that helps with both floating tags and multiple iterations of the same 'ship ending up in the list twice in different orders. It just makes it easier on me as the mod. There's nothing wrong with your nomination or anything you need to change.
