Pre-Nominations 2024

maevedarcyEvery year new fandoms and relationships get nominated to Holly Poly. We're happy to see the event grow and reach new audiences, however, we also need to keep the tagset a reasonable size to avoid issues at a future time, which is why we will not be importing all of the 2023 tagset for the 2024 exchange. For this reason, we also ask that you consider if the fandom/relationships you're transferring are some that you are serious about requesting or offering for this year's exchange.
Remember that we will also have our regular nominations period, where you will be able to nominate up to 10 fandoms with 10 relationships each. If you only have a handful of fandoms/relationships to nominate and are confident about nominating through AO3, you can wait for our regular nominations period if you want to.
Since the format of nominations is not changing, we'll be transferring fandoms/relationship tags from last year's tagset to this year's tagset upon request.
There are limits on what you can transfer:
Fandom Name Changes
If there have been changes to your fandoms that could change the fandom tag, now is a good time to let us know about them. This is especially true if a fandom nominated separately last year is in danger of combining into a larger fandom this year.
For example:
One Piece (Anime & Manga) and One Piece (Live Action TV 2023)
Pride and Prejudice (TV 1995) and Pride and Prejudice (2005)
Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock (TV)

2024 Tagset
Please check your nominations have been transferred correctly after we confirm (allow for 48 hours before asking about your nominations). If you see any issues in the 2024 tagset (such as not seeing your transferred fandoms or relationships cut short), let us know immediately.
For Full Fandoms (19 or fewer relationship tags)
Please reply to this post with your list with each fandom on a new line. Fandoms must be exactly as they appear in the 2023 tagset (not including the number in brackets) or the import will fail.
For Specific Tags From Fandoms (20+ relationship tags)
Please reply to this post with your fandom and the tags you want transferred in batch load format (Fandom,Relationship), with each relationship on a new line and no brackets unless included in the fandom name or character name in the tagset. All tags must be exactly as they appear in the 2023 tagset (not including the number in brackets) or the import will fail.
Check the first comment for an example on how the transfer must look like.

There are limits on what you can transfer:
- Each person can only request 10 fandoms be transferred. If you need more fandoms than that for some reason, please use the regular nominations process to nominate everything else. (If posting anon, please sign with a consistent name/pseud/emoji!)
- For fandoms with 19 or fewer relationship tags, we will transfer all relationship tags. Use the instructions under "Full Fandoms" .
- For fandoms with 20+ relationship tags, you can only ask for 20 relationships to be transferred. Use the instructions under "Specific Tags From Fandoms" below.
