Nominations are open, and they'll stay open through 11:00am UTC on 2 November - you can see a countdown timer at this link. You're allowed to nominate up to 10 fandoms, with up to 10 relationships per fandom. This year we have imported a subset of the tagset from Holly Poly 2023 via our pre-nominations phase to try and reduce the workload for us mods - please make sure to check the tagset before you nominate a ship to see if it is already included in the tagset. We recommend expanding all tagset categories before searching the page for any ships since some fandoms may not be in the section you expect due to us using slightly different fandom tags in some cases.

The tag set is located here: https://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/21262

You can also view this year's tagset on AO3 Automagic app at the link below to more easily search for ships included in it already, but it needs a re-scrape requested periodically to ensure it's up to date: https://autoao3app.fandom.tools/#/holly_poly_2024/tagset

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 us know, and we 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.

For relationships that do not already have canonical tags, please nominate them in alphabetical order by last name (and, if they don't have a last name or multiple characters share a last name, then by first name). For example: Anders/Fenris/Bethany Hawke/Carver Hawke/Isabela/Merrill/Varric Tethras/Aveline Vallen, or Astrid Beck/Eadwulf Grieve/Essek Thelyss/Caleb Widogast, or Sirius Black/Remus Lupin/Nymphadora Tonks.

Please don't panic if we 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 make sure to read through the extra information below as some fandom disambiguations have changed since last year. In general, when nominating a fandom or ship consider whether there are multiple sources/versions and how to nominate in a way that makes it clearest which version you want.





Information about how to nominate relationships for many of the larger or more complicated fandoms under the cut. )




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. For smaller RPF fandoms, providing information/links to help us verify the characters are eligible would be appreciated and will speed up RPF noms.




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

purpleyin: Black background with three hands holding together (two hands are light skinned and one hand is brown) (holly poly)
[personal profile] purpleyin
Apologies for the fact sign-ups haven't opened on schedule. We've had some real life issues come up which delayed the nominations processing this week. All nominations have been processed now, except for those we have clarification questions for. Currently, the tagset stands at 670 fandoms and 4334 ships - just 41 ships left from 12 fandoms to process once we have some clarifications.

We will be giving people until 9pm UTC on October 31st to respond to the clarification questions - sign-ups will be open a short while after that deadline, or before then potentially if people gets back to us about all the clarifications earlier. If you want to see the exact time for that, you can take a look at this link: Countdown to nomination clarification deadline.

So far no nominations have been rejected, though there are a couple we will be rejecting that are mentioned below. If anyone is seeing any issues with their nominations, or errors in the tagset, please let us know.


For anyone who nominated ships with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds characters in, please can you check we have processed them as expected. Us changing the format midway through nominations meant we had to interpret some of the nominations best we could - we hope we got those correct but we'd appreciate people double-checking them.


If you nominated Jack (Legend)/Madmartigan (Willow)/Sarah Williams (Labyrinth) under crossover - Fandom, we assume based on context that you meant Jack from the 1985 movie "Legend". If not, please let us know but otherwise we'll process it as that if we don't hear back.


If you nominated Raffi Musiker (Star Trek: Picard)/Seven of Nine (Star Trek: Picard)/B'Elanna Torres(ST: VOY) under crossover - Fandom, we will be rejecting this nomination since it already exists in the appropriate category of Star Trek: Classic Timeline as "Raffi Musiker/Seven of Nine/B'Elanna Torres (Classic Trek)"


If you nominated Trisana Chandler/Daja Kisubo/Briar Moss/Sandrilene fa Toren (Emelan) in Baldur's Gate 3 under crossover - Fandom, we will be rejecting this on the assumption you mean that Emelan ship but in a Baldur's Gate AU/Fusion, because the ship is already nominated under the Emelan fandom. You can request it with the prompt of Baldur's Gate AU/Fusion in optional details but we can't guarantee anyone would create that AU rather than simply the ship in the Emelan canon setting.


If you nominated Jack Harper/Vika Olsen/Vika Olsen under Oblivion (2013), please can you confirm which versions of the characters you mean since there are multiple possible. If we don't hear back from you we will process this as "Jack Harper/Victoria "Vika" Olsen/Clone Victoria "Vika" Olsen" with which meant left up to interpretation.


If you nominated Sheltered Young Prince/Prince's Loyal Knight/Prince's Arranged Marriage Husband under Original Work, do you have an expectation for the gender of the knight or will any gender interpretation be okay with you? If we don't heard back from you we will process as it and it will be left up to interpretation.


If you nominated Dr. Gurathin & Pin-Lee & Dr. Ratthi under The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Well, we will be rejecting this nomination because we don't allow &'s for relationships in this exchange, however, the version using all /'s - Dr. Gurathin/Pin-Lee/Dr. Ratthi - is already in the tagset. If the &'s meant you want to request the relationship be asexual/queerplatonic/etc., then that's something to include in your optional details when signing up.


If you nominated Liu Qianqiao/Yu Qiufeng/Yu Qiufeng's Wife under 山河令 | Word of Honor (TV 2021), please can you confirm whether you meant Madame Yu or the general concept of Yu Qiufeng having a wife. If we don't hear back from you we will process it as it is.


If you nominated 999th Lee Jihye/999th/Lee Hyunsung/999th Kim Namwoon/999th Uriel under 전지적 독자 시점 - 싱숑 | Omniscient Reader - Sing-Shong, we assume you meant to write "999th Lee Hyunsung" without the / in the middle, but if not let us know. If we don't hear back from you we will process it as "999th Regression Kim Namwoon/999th Regression Lee Hyunsung/999th Regression Lee Jihye/999th Regression Uriel".


If you nominated any ships under the fandom DCU, please can you tell us which canon you meant for each ship since that AO3 fandom tag covers multiple DC canons - did you mean DCU Comics, DC Extended Universe, DC Animated Universe (Timmverse), DC's Arrowerse, or another DCU canon? If we don't hear back about them we will assume you meant DC Comics and process them as that.


If you nominated Catman/Deadshot/Ghostmaker under DCU, we also need to know if you meant "Minhkhoa Khan/Floyd Lawton/Thomas Reese Blake" or not. We think those are the right character names based on what we can tell, but we're not familiar with whether those codenames have more than one person possible. If we don't hear back we'll process as "Minhkhoa Khan/Floyd Lawton/Thomas Reese Blake".


If you nominated any ships under the fandom Dune - All Media Types, can you confirm you are fine with the fact you may get any canon interpretation for the characters, from books, TV miniseries, either movie, or games. If you want to change any of the ships to a specific canon source, let us know, otherwise we will process as All Media Types if we don't hear back.


If you nominated Princess Badoura/Her Husband/Her WIfe under Fairy Tales & Related Fandoms, please can you confirm whether you meant specific characters (such as the unnamed husband character or possibly Prince Camaralzaman) or the general concept of Princess Badoura having any husband and wife. If we don't hear back from you we will process it as "Princess Badoura/Princess Badoura's Husband/Princess Badoura's Wife" leaving it up to interpretation.


If you nominated the fandom Higurashi no Naku Koro ni | Higurashi When They Cry, can you confirm which canon source you meant since there are several. If we don't hear back we'll assume the video game.


If you nominated the fandom Spyro the Dragon (Video Games 1998-2005), could you explain why it's nominated for the 1998-2005 games specifically. Some of the ships for it seem to be include characters from the later reboot game series and since we're not familiar with the fandom we don't know if the reboot games are another canon entirely or whether changing the fandom to a more general Spyro the Dragon (Video Games) would be okay. If we don't hear back we'll assume it's okay to do the more general fandom title.


If you nominated the fandom Umineko no Naku Koro ni | When the Seagulls Cry, can you confirm which canon source you meant since there are several. If we don't hear back we'll assume the video game.


If you nominated any ships under the fandom The Vampire Diaries & Related Fandoms, please can you tell us which canon source you meant for each ship since that AO3 fandom tag covers multiple sources. We did accidentally approve this fandom, so it's in the tagset already. If we don't hear back from people about changing their nominated ships to a more specific canon source we will treat this fandom similar to an All Media Types fandom, meaning you may get any canon interpretation for the characters, from the books, TV show, or video game.


If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment on this post. You can also send an e-mail to holly.poly.exchange@gmail.com.

[personal profile] purpleyin
We're now at about 613 fandoms and 3734 ships nominated. And we've currently got another 52 fandoms to look at, plus some more ships to review for already approved fandoms.

Friendly reminder that nominations will be closing in about 10 hours! If you want to see the exact time, you can take a look at this link: Countdown to nomination closing time.


If you nominated Apollo (PJO)/Percy Jackson (PJO)/Harry Potter (Harry Potter) under crossover - Fandom, please let us know which PJO source you mean - books, movie or TV show.

If you nominated Dick Grayson (DCU)/Harry Potter (Harry Potter)/Jason Todd (Harry Potter) under crossover - Fandom, we assume you meant to type Jason Todd (DCU) there since we're not aware of a Jason Todd in Harry Potter fandom, but please can you confirm in case you meant something else or another DC canon.

If you nominated Jane Banner (Wind River)/Ardelia Mapp/Clarice Starling (Clarice) under crossover - Fandom, please let us know which canon source you mean for Ardelia Mapp, did you mean the Clarice TV show for her character as well or another source like the films or books?

If you nominated Trisana Chandler/Daja Kisubo/Briar Moss/Sandrilene fa Toren (Emelan) in Baldur's Gate 3 under crossover - Fandom, did you mean that you want that Emelan ship but in a Baldur's Gate AU/Fusion or do you mean something else? If the former, that ship is already nominated under the Emelan fandom, so you could request it with the prompt of Baldur's Gate AU/Fusion in optional details but we can't guarantee anyone would create that AU rather than simply the ship in the Emelan canon setting.

If you nominated Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter/Harry Potter under crossover - Fandom, please let us know which canon source you mean for the Hannibal characters - books, movies, TV show.

If you nominated Ray Palmer/Mick Rory/Time Remnant!Mick Rory (Arrowverse) or Ray Palmer/Mick Rory/time remnant!Ray Palmer (Arrowverse) under DC's Arrowverse, did you mean a specific time remnant character who appears in a canon episode (if so, which episode) or the general concept of a time remnant for the character?

If you nominated Jiāng Chéng | Jiāng Wǎnyín/Uchiha Sasuke/Uzumaki Naruto under Naruto, did you mean for this to be a crossover - Fandom ship instead as we couldn't find Jiāng Chéng | Jiāng Wǎnyín listed as a Naruto character, only for other fandoms like The Untamed and 魔道祖师 | Módào Zǔshī (Cartoon).

If you nominated Jack Harper/Vika Olsen/Vika Olsen under Oblivion (2013), we're assuming one of the Victoria "Vika" Olsen's is the clone version of her mentioned on wikipedia for the film, but please can you confirm in case there's more versions of her character we're not aware of. But also which Jack Harper is this - Tech 49 or Tech 52 version?

If you nominated Sheltered Young Prince/Prince's Loyal Knight/Prince's Arranged Marriage Husband under Original Work, do you have an expectation for the gender of the knight or will any gender interpretation be okay with you?

If you nominated any ships under the fandom DCU, please can you tell us which canon you meant for each ship since that AO3 fandom tag covers multiple DC canons - did you mean DCU Comics, DC Extended Universe, DC Animated Universe (Timmverse), DC's Arrowerse, or another DCU canon?

If you nominated any ships under the fandom The Lord of the Rings - All Media Types, can you let us know which ships are yours and why you nominated them under All Media Types, since usually we ask people to specify whether they mean Middle Earth – J.R.R. Tolkien or Middle Earth (Movies) or The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (TV 2022). If you do want to nominate under all media types you will need to accept you may get any canon interpretation for the characters. If you want a ship with a mix of characters from different LOTR canons, then crossover - Fandom would allow you to specify what LOTR canon source for each character.

If you nominated any ships under the fandom Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types, can you let us know which ships are yours and why you nominated them under All Media Types, since usually we ask people to specify whether they mean The Witcher TV, books, or games. If you do want to nominate under all media types you will need to accept you may get any canon interpretation for the characters. If you want a ship with a mix of characters from different Witcher canons, then crossover - Fandom would allow you to specify what Witcher canon source for each character.

If you nominated any ships under the fandom The Vampire Diaries & Related Fandoms, please can you tell us which canon source you meant for each ship since that AO3 fandom tag covers both TV and the books. We already have The Vampire Diaries (TV) in the tagset but we don't want to fold these ships into that fandom without checking which are actually for the TV show as well.

Advice for how to submit ships with characters that are in both Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has been updated in the nominations open posts, to the following:

"For ships that include characters that are in both Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, we will assume the TOS version is meant by default - if you want to specify the SNW version please add "(SNW)" after the character name(s) to differentiate from TOS version, e.g. "Christine Chapel (SNW)/Spock (SNW)/T'Pring (SNW)". If the ship has a mix of TOS and SNW character versions, please add SNW or TOS in brackets after each of the character names that need clarification."

purpleyin: Black background with three hands holding together (two hands are light skinned and one hand is brown) (ot3)
[personal profile] purpleyin
Sign-ups should be opening in about 10 hours, but we still have 12 clarifications we need information for.

If you nominated the fandom Mr. Malcolm's List, can you clarify if you mean the novel, the 2022 film, the 2019 short film or potentially the podcast script reading. If we don't hear back about this we'll process this as Mr. Malcolm's List - All Media Types. Also for the ship Selina Dalton/Jeremiah Dalton/Henry Ossory/Lord Cassidy, did you mean to write Jeremiah Malcolm rather than Dalton? We can't find a character of Jeremiah Dalton, only Jeremiah Malcolm, so if we don't hear back we'll assume that was an error.

If you nominated the fandom ユリ熊嵐 | Yuri Kuma Arashi, can you clarify if you meant the anime or the manga since they look to have the same characters but very different plotlines. If we don't hear back about this we'll be processing this as ユリ熊嵐 | Yuri Kuma Arashi (Anime).

If you nominated Geralt z Rivii | Geralt of Rivia/Yennefer z Vengerbergu | Yennefer of Vengerberg under Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types, this is only 2 people and we don't allow 2 people ships. If you meant to write in a third person, please let us know who and also whether the ship is for The Witcher books, games or TV.

If you nominated Bewildered Older Brother/Older Brother's BF/Horny Younger Brother Wishing to be in a Sandwich (OW) under Original Work, please can you spell out what BF should mean. If we don't hear back we'll assume it means boyfriend and approve with that added.

If you nominated Beranardi al Auriga/Mandala Flynn/Hikaru Sulu under Star Trek: Classic Timeline, can you confirm if this is meant to be Bernardi al Auriga from the The Entropy Effect novel. If we don't hear back we'll assume it was a typo and add it with Bernardi al Auriga.

If you nominated Marlene Alraune/Layla El-Faouly/Steven Grant/Jake Lockley/Marc Spector under Moon Knight (TV), can you confirm whether Marlene Alraune actually appears in the TV show? From what we could tell looking online it looked like she wasn't. If we don't hear back this will be added under Crossover - fandom instead.

If you nominated Zakia Asalache/Capheus Onyango/Jela/Jela's wife under Sense8, can you confirm if you mean the specific canon character of Eleana for Jela's wife or Jela's wife as a general concept? If we don't hear back we'll assume it means general concept and approve as is. 

If you nominated Logan/Ororo Munroe/Kurt Wagner under X-Men (Comicverse), please can you let us know if you meant Marvel 616 or another comics universe. If we don't hear back we will add this under Marvel 616.

If we don't hear back about the following nominations they will be rejected:

If you nominated Raffi Musiker/Seven of Nine/B'Elanna Torres AU under Star Trek: Classic Timeline, can you clarify what you mean by B'Elanna Torres AU. If it's an AU version of her from a particular episode the episode name added would help identify who you mean.

If you nominated Raffi Musiker/Seven of Nine/B'Elanna Torres freeform under Star Trek: Classic Timeline, can you clarify what you mean by freeform, is this referring to the AO3 tag as a freeform tag or something else? If you just meant Raffi Musiker/Seven of Nine/B'Elanna Torres, that tag is already in the tagset.

If you nominated Gong Jun | Simon/Yu Xiang/Zhang Zhehan under
山河令 | Word of Honor (TV 2021) RPF, we weren't 100% sure if we'd found the right actor for Yu Xiang, is Yun_Xiang who plays Bi Xingming in Word of Honor the correct person? If we don't hear back this nomination will be rejected since we need to be able to find details on the people in RPF ships so that we can confirm their ages are 18+.

If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment on this post. You can also send an e-mail to holly.poly.exchange@gmail.com.

purpleyin: Black background with three hands holding together (two hands are light skinned and one hand is brown) (ot3)
[personal profile] purpleyin
We've almost finished processing all the nominations - just 29 ships left from 15 fandoms to process once we have some clarifications. The current count overall is 459 fandoms and 2788 ships. We'll also be spending the next couple of days looking over the tagset ourselves for any issues but we don't know most of the fandoms so please do let us know if you see any errors with the tagset - wandering tags, typos, duplicates, things in the wrong place etc.

If you nominated Geralt z Rivii | Geralt of Rivia/Yennefer z Vengerbergu | Yennefer of Vengerberg under Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types, this is only 2 people and we don't allow 2 people ships. If you meant to write in a third person, please let us know who and also whether the ship is for The Witcher books, games or TV.

If you nominated Botanist("When t War Came")/Famine/Pestilence/Pollution(GO)/Teller(Dr Atomic)/small god of Chernobyl for crossover - Fandom, can you clarify what fandom small god of Chernobyl is from.

If you nominated Hinata Shoyou/Kageyama Tobio (Haikyuu)/Miyazumi Tatsuru/Shiratori Mitoko (Ryman's Club) under crossover - Fandom, we assume you may mean Shiratori Mikoto for the last character but can you confirm since we're not familiar with the fandom.

If you nominated Kristin | Death/Niki | Nihachu/Technoblade/Phil Watson | Philza or Technoblade/Philza/Kristin | Death (Dream SMP) under Dream SMP, we feel this may be borderline on if Kristin is a public figure in her own right or should be considered a significant other who would not be allowed under the rules. We don't know the fandom ourselves, could you provide more info to help us decide - for example, does she have her own stream/channel, or is she in a significant number of streams/videos?

If you nominated Cosette Fauchelevent/Marius Pontmercy/Any Character(s) (LM AMT) under Les Misérables - All Media Types, could you confirm if you are fine with literally any character, including original characters, or do you want any canon character?

If you nominated
Beranardi al Auriga/Mandala Flynn/Hikaru Sulu under Star Trek: Classic Timeline, we assume that was probably a typo in there but can you confirm if this is meant to be Bernardi al Auriga from the The Entropy Effect novel.

If you nominated Aiden/Coën/Lambert (Witcher TV) under The Witcher (TV), can you confirm whether Aiden is actually in the show since we couldn't see anything suggesting the character was in it on character lists, only Aiden mentioned in the games.

If you nominated Kamisato Ayato/Thoma/Other Commissioner under 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game), could you clarify what you mean by other commissioner, does this mean either of commissioners from the other two commissions or something else?

If you nominated Klimt van Zieks | Klint van Zieks/Prosecution’s Office under 大逆転裁判 | Dai Gyakuten Saiban | The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles (Video Games) is that meant to be the specific Prosecutor's office or a more general term?

If you nominated Gong Jun | Simon/Yu Xiang/Zhang Zhehan under
山河令 | Word of Honor (TV 2021) RPF, we weren't 100% sure if we'd found the right actor for Yu Xiang, is Yun_Xiang who plays Bi Xingming in Word of Honor the correct person?

If you nominated Erik Lehnsherr/Pietro Maximoff/Charles Xavier or Erik Lehnsherr/Raven | Mystique/Charles Xavier or Kurt Wagner/Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier under Marvel (Comics) or Logan/Ororo Munroe/Kurt Wagner under X-Men (Comicverse), please can you let us know if you meant Marvel 616 or another comics universe.

If you nominated the fandom
Mr. Malcolm's List, can you clarify if you mean the novel or the 2022 film.

If you nominated the fandom ユリ熊嵐 | Yuri Kuma Arashi, can you clarify if you meant the anime or the manga since they look to have the same characters but very different plotlines.


If you nominated Hernando Fuentes/Lito Rodriguez & Daniela Velasquez under Sense 8, that is rejected because we don't allow &'s for relationships in this exchange, however, the version using all /'s - Hernando Fuentes/Lito Rodriguez/Daniela Velasquez - is already in the tagset. Similarly, we've rejected Elizabeth Burke/Peter Burke/Neal Caffrey and Neal Caffrey/Mozzie under White Collar (TV 2009) but Elizabeth Burke/Peter Burke/Neal Caffrey/Mozzie is already in the tagset.

We also still have 5 questions outstanding from the previous clarifications posts.

Hello everyone!

Just a friendly reminder that nominations will be closing in just a bit over 24 hours! If you want to see the exact time, you can take a look at this link: Countdown to nomination closing time.
So remember, if there are any relationships or fandoms that you would like to nominate and that you don't yet see in the 2022 Tag Set, get them nominated before October 17th at 11:59 Eastern Daylight Time.

The mods are still working on approving more fandoms and relationships, and please take a look back at our previous posts for any nomination clarifications that we are requesting. Right now we have over 350 fandoms nominated - we'll have some exact statistics for you (along with relationship counts) after everything's approved.

We're now at about 340 fandoms and 1978 ships nominated. And we've currently got another 41 fandoms to look at. We have a countdown here for how long until nominations close.

Update on the glitch that was happening - it was mainly happening to Marvel 616 nominations, with a couple of Stargate ships also rejected. Thankfully, AO3 support was able to change the rejected nominations back to not rejected for us, so people should be seeing Marvel 616 nominations going through okay now.

We have a few fandoms we want input on since we're not familiar with them and what level of shared characters and canon there is. Firstly, Pocket Monsters | Pokemon (Main Video Game Series) and Pokemon Rangers, would fan of these recommend combining into a general Pokemon (Video Games) category or keeping them separate? We also have a number of Yu-Gi-Oh Anime & Manga fandom nominations, which we're currently assuming probably ought to be kept as separate but would appreciate input on whether that is best too: Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (Anime & Manga), Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal and Yu-Gi-Oh! - All Media Types.

If you nominated any The Umbrella Academy ships, please let us know if any are missing from the tag set. One of the nominations accidentally got most of the first character cut off and while I'm fairly sure I remembered what it was, and have added that manually into the tagset, it would be good for people to check just in case I misremembered and there's anything missing.

If you nominated Annabeth Chase (Percy Jackson)/Percy Jackson (Percy Jackson)/Dick Grayson (DCU) under Crossover - Fandom, can you let us know if you mean Percy Jackson books, films or any version.

If you nominated Clint Barton (Marvel)/Kurt Wagner (Marvel)/Dick Grayson (DCU) under Crossover - Fandom, can you let us what you mean by Marvel - is it MCU, X-Men Original or Alternate timeline movies, or if comics which Marvel comics universe.

If you nominated Kurt Wagner (Marvel)/Pietro Maximoff (Marvel)/Dick Grayson (DCU)/Wally West (DCU) under Crossover - Fandom, can you let us what you mean by Marvel - is it MCU, X-Men Original or Alternate timeline movies, or if comics which Marvel comics universe.

If you nominated MacGuyver (MacGuyver)/Tony Stark (MCU)/Bruce Wayne (DCU) under Crossover - Fandom, we assume you mean Angus "Mac" MacGyver but could you let us know if you mean MacGyver (1985 TV series) or MacGyver (2016 TV series) or either of them.

If you nominated The Doctor/Jack Harkness/River Song/Rose Tyler under Doctor Who, please clarify what version of the The Doctor you're referring to.

If you nominated The Doctor/The Master/The Rani under Doctor Who, please clarify what version of the The Doctor, The Master, and The Rani, you're referring to.

If you nominated Tegan Jovanka/Nyssa of Traken/Any Female Character(s) under Doctor Who, do you mean any canon female characters or literally any female characters, including original female character(s).

If you nominated Peter Parker (Spider-Man 2001)/Peter Parker (The Amazing Spider-Man)/Peter Parker (MCU) under Marvel Cinematic Universe, we assume you probably mean the Tobey Maguire version from Spiderman 2002 and Andrew Garfield Spiderman for the first two characters since they have appeared in the MCU but please can you confirm.


If you nominated Clint Barton (MCU)/Pietro Maximoff (MCU)/Pietro Maximoff (X-Men: Alternate Timeline Movies) under Marvel Cinematic Universe, we assume you meant Peter Maximoff from X-Men but wanted to check since there's also Pietro Maximoff in WandaVision as played by Evan Peters and this was nominated under MCU. If you meant Peter Maximoff from X-Men, we would probably consider this a crossover ship instead, although feel free to put forth why you believe it belongs in the MCU and we may reconsider that.

If you nominated Adil/Abigail Bellweather/Gregoria Shellbark/Tally Craven under Motherland: Fort Salem (TV), can you confirm if you meant to type Gregorio Shellbark or is Gregoria another character?

If you nominated Marlene Alraune/Layla El-Faouly/Steven Grant/Jake Lockley/Marc Spector under Moon Knight (TV), can you confirm whether Marlene Alraune actually appears in the TV show? From what we could tell looking online it looked like she wasn't, which would make this a crossover ship instead, but none of the mods have seen it yet to be sure.

If you nominated Darlene Conner/Molly Tilden/Marcy (Roseanne) under Roseanne, could you confirm if you mean the character Marcy Bellinger who appears on the related show of The Connors or another character?

If you nominated Hernando Fuentes/Lito Rodriguez & Daniela Velasquez under Sense8, please can you edit that to be a "/" rather than a "&". If you want to request that a relationship be asexual/queerplatonic/etc., then that's something to include in your details when signing up.

If you nominated Zakia Asalache/Capheus Onyango/Jela/Jela's wife under Sense8, can you confirm if you mean Eleana for Jela's wife?

If you nominated Jadzia Dax/any characters of species described but not depicted onscreen under Star Trek: Classic Timeline, we're a bit concerned this might be too hard to define, especially if people might not have seen all the Classic Trek timeline shows, could you let us know if there's any kind of list online that keeps track of this for example.

If you nominated
Raffi Musiker/Seven of Nine/B'Elanna Torres AU under Star Trek: Classic Timeline, can you clarify what you mean by B'Elanna Torres AU. If it's an AU version of her from a particular episode the episode name added would help identify who you mean.

If you nominated Raffi Musiker/Seven of Nine/B'Elanna Torres freeform under Star Trek: Classic Timeline, can you clarify what you mean by freeform, is this referring to the AO3 tag as a freeform tag or something else?

If you nominated Miguel Diaz/Ronny Keene/Tory Nichols/Samantha LaRusso under Cobra Kai (TV), did you mean Robby Keene instead?

If you nominated Padmé Amidala/handmaidens under Star Wars - All Media Types, do you mean handmaidens generally or did you mean specifically Royal Naboo Handmaiden Characters.

If you nominated Vegas AU Rodney McKay/Vegas AU John Sheppard/John Sheppard under Stargate - All Media Types, for Vegas AU do you mean the Vegasverse versions?

If you nominated Ivan Vorpatril/Byerly Vorrutyer/OMC under Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold, did you mean Original Male Character(s) or something else?

If you nominated Elizabeth Burke/Peter Burke/Neal Caffrey and Neal Caffrey/Mozzie under White Collar, please can you edit that to be all one ship usng a "/" rather than two linked with an and. If you want to request that parts of an OT4 relationship be asexual/queerplatonic/etc., then that's something to include in your details when signing up.


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.

[personal profile] purpleyin
We're still busy going through nominations - a bit slower than usual as we get used to the process - but we've had a number of errors when submitting approvals of nominations on AO3, which we are contacting AO3 about. We weren't sure initially if those had caused any problems but we've had two people contact us today to ask about rejected nominations but we hadn't rejected those ourselves. At this stage we won't reject nominations - anything we're not certain about we would ask for clarifications first instead - so if you are seeing any rejections of either fandom or ships that is accidental and please let us know which they are so that we can correct that. We're also not sure if one of the errors might have resulted in fandom/ships getting approved but changed to a different fandom/ship by accident, so we recommend everyone checks their nominations and lets us know about anything you spot that's wrong.

The nominations open post has been updated to add clarifications about nominating House of the Dragon, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (TV 2022) and The Good Wife/The Good Fight and what to do if crossover ships hit the 100 character tag length limit.


If you nominated Bewildered Older Brother/Older Brother's BF/Horny Younger Brother Wishing to be in a Sandwich (OW) under Original Work, please can you spell out what BF should mean.

If you nominated Empire/Her Emperor/Her Capital City (OW) under Original Work, please can you clarify whether you mean anthropomorphic versions of Empire and Her Capital City or another type of representation for those.

If you nominated Space traveler/Citizens of planet where free use is normalized (OW) under Original Work, please can you clarify what you mean by free use in this context.

If you nominated Neal Caffrey/Couple he's seducing under White Collar, please can you clarify whether you want literally any couple or something more specific, like original characters, or canon characters who are a couple.

If you nominated Chel (Road to El Dorado)/Kuzco (Disney) under Emperor's New Groove (2000), this isn't eligible because it's only a 2 person ship, and it's also a crossover ship nominated under only one of the fandoms. If you meant to nominate an OT3 but made a mistake entering it, please let us know the full ship tag with the relevant fandom in brackets after each character name.

If you nominated the fandom The Real Ghostbusters, do you mean the animated show that ran from 1986-1991, or the original movies, or something else?


We're also looking for input from fans of Critical Role (Web Series) and the new The Legend of Vox Machina animated TV show as to whether the canon is different enough it should be considered a separate canon to nominate or combined with the Critical Role nominations.


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.

Nominations are open, and they'll stay open through 11:59pm EDT on 17 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/12906

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.




Information about how to nominate relationships for many of the larger or more complicated fandoms under the cut. )




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.

Unless someone finds any more duplicates or problems with the tag set, we're currently at 1932 relationships in 392 fandoms.

Sign-ups will probably open sometime tomorrow afternoon, depending on my schedule. If you see anything that needs changed or fixed in regards to the tag set - such as misspelled names, wandering tags, or duplicates - please let me know ASAP.

For those curious, we're currently at 1924 relationships in 389 fandoms. I'll post the final numbers once everything is finalized.

I'll be spending the next few days going through the tag set looking for duplicates, misspellings, and other problems. If you notice anything that seems off or wrong, please let me know. I'm only personally familiar with a fraction of the fandoms nominated, so it's very easy for things to slip through.

If you nominated George Darling/Mary Darling/James Hook under Peter Pan & Related Fandoms, can you please be more specific with the fandom? Do you want the fandom to be Peter Pan - J. M. Barrie, Peter Pan (1953), Peter Pan (2003), or another version entirely?

If you nominated Logan/Ororo Munroe/Kurt Wagner under X-Men - All Media Types, can you please clarify what you intended for the fandom? Did you want the relationship to be under X-Men (Original Timeline Movies) or Marvel 616 or something else?

If you nominated Takeshi Kovacs/Takeshi Kovacs/Poe under Altered Carbon (TV), can you please let me know which specific bodies you have in mind for Takeshi Kovacs? Some examples from previous tag sets are Takeshi Kovacs (Anthony Mackie)/Takeshi Kovacs Prime (Will Yun Lee)/Poe and Takeshi Kovacs (in Ryker's sleeve)/Takeshi Kovacs (clone)/Poe.

If you nominated The Doctors/The Masters under Doctor Who, can please clarify whether you mean all of the Doctors and all of the Masters and, if not, list the specific ones you want included?

If you nominated Frodo Baggins (LotR)/Harry Potter (HP) or Albus Dumbledore (HP)/Gandalf (LotR) under crossover - Fandom, did you perhaps forget to list someone else in the relationship? At least three people need to be involved for something to be approved for this exchange.

If you you see any issues with the tag set or have any questions about the exchange at large, please feel free to leave a comment on this post. You can also send an e-mail to holly.poly.exchange@gmail.com.

This is a reminder that nominations will be closing tonight. If you have relationships that you want to request in this year's Holly Poly, please make sure you go to the tag set and nominate them before 11:59pm EDT.

If you nominated Takeshi Kovacs/Takeshi Kovacs/Poe under Altered Carbon (TV), can you please list which specific bodies you have in mind for Takeshi Kovacs?

For those curious, we're currently at 1662 relationships in 325 fandoms.

This is a reminder that nominations will be closing in a little over 48 hours. If you have relationships that you want to request in this year's Holly Poly, please make sure you go to the tag set and nominate them before 11:59pm EDT on Sunday, October 17. Please see this link for a countdown.

Surprisingly, I don't have any clarification questions to ask at the moment. I've rejected a few relationships nominated in the Character A & Character B & Character C format, but all of them were ones where Character A/Character B/Character C were already in the tag set.

For those curious, we're currently at 1304 relationships in 242 fandoms.

Please make certain to only nominate relationships with three or more people in them. If you nominate A/B/C, A/B, and B/C, then I'll only be approving A/B/C and rejecting the ones with two people. If you want specific V relationships rather than a triad, that's something to specify in your sign-up rather than during nominations.

If you're the person who nominated James T. Kirk/Spock/Romulan Commander (Classic Trek) under Star Trek: Classic Timeline, can you please clarify what you intended by Romulan Commander? Do you mean a specific Romulan Commander (ie, the female commander from "The Enterprise Incident," the male commander from "Balance of Terror", the male commander from TAS's "The Survivor", the male commander from TAS's "The Practical Joker", a commander from one of the books, etc.) or an OC Romulan Commander?

If you're the person who nominated The Doctor (Doctor Who)/The Master (Doctor Who)/Mary Poppins (Mary Poppins) under crossover - Fandom, please clarify what versions of the The Doctor and The Master you're referring to.

If you're the person who nominated Aziraphale (Good Omens)/Crowley (Good Omens)/The Doctor (Doctor Who) under crossover - Fandom, please clarify what version of the The Doctor you're referring to.

If you're the person who nominated Aziraphale (Good Omens)/Crowley (Good Omens)/The Doctor (Doctor Who)/The Master (Doctor Who) under crossover - Fandom, please clarify what versions of the The Doctor and The Master you're referring to.

If you're the person who nominated The Doctor (Doctor Who)/The Master (Doctor Who)/Methos (Highlander) under crossover - Fandom, please clarify what versions of the The Doctor and The Master you're referring to.

Nominations have been open for approximately 24 hours, and we're currently at 820 relationships in 154 fandoms.

If you're one of the numerous people who nominated James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Spock under Star Trek: The Original Series instead of Star Trek: Classic Timeline and are wondering why it was rejected, then don't worry. It's in the tagset under the proper fandom listing. I had to reject it due to it being nominated under both the correct and incorrect fandom names (due to how duplicates work in tagsets), but nine people and counting have nominated it at this point so it's definitely going to be an option to request/offer.

If you nominated Hawke/Bethany Hawke/Carver Hawke under Dragon Age - All Media Types, please specify whether you want Female Hawke or Male Hawke (or both).

If you nominated Daphne Blake/Velma Dinkley/Fred Jones/Norville "Shaggy" Rogers under Scooby Doo - All Media Types, please be more specific with the fandom. There are multiple versions of the characters and, while many of them are similar, there are some canons that do differ quite a bit from others in regards to characterization and backstory.

If you nominated Cambot & Gypsy | GPC & Mike Nelson & Crow T. Robot & Tom Servo and Mike Nelson & Crow T. Robot & Tom Servo under Mystery Science Theater 3000, please note that this is an exchange for romantic and/or sexual relationships rather than gen. You will need to edit the relationships so that they're using a "/" rather than a "&". If you do not edit them before nominations end, they will be rejected.

If you nominated Tony Stark/Stephen Strange/Victor Von Doom and Victor von Doom/Reed Richards/Tony Stark under Marvel (Comics), please clarify whether you mean Marvel 616 or a different universe.

This is a reminder that signups will be opening on Friday, October 23. The latest you should expect them to open is 12:30pm EDT (that is, half past noon), while the earliest will be about twelve hours earlier than that at 12:30am EDT (that is, half past midnight). I'm aiming for the middle-of-the-night option, but it will depend on whether or not there are any kinks that I have to work out.

As usual, I'll make a post here, on Tumblr, and on Twitter once signups go live. I'll also be posting information about pinch hits in the near future. (The process isn't changing from previous years.)

If you're the person who nominated Any Jack Harper/Any Jack Harper/Any Vika Olsen and Any Jack Harper/Any Vika Olsen/Any Vika Olsen under Oblivion (2013), I need you to be more specific in regards to the character(s) involved. I know cloning is involved in canon, but please be specific as to what version of the character you want - do you want versions of the characters who appeared in canon or original clones? I need to hear back from you within the next 24 hours or so. If I don't get a reply by the time I'm ready to open signups, I'll have to reject your nomination.

Please let me know if you find any duplicates, wandering tags, misspelled names, etc. in the tag set. There have only been a handful so far, but some of you are much more familiar with a few of these fandoms than I am, so please let me know if anything stands out to you.
