Nominations clarification post #2
Updates to the rules
We've added a rule to codify a common bit of exchange etiquette: The only recipient of your work should be the person whose request you are fulfilling. Please do not gift works to multiple recipients, even if they have similar requests and even if your creation is a non-assignment treat.
The rules post also now has instructions for how to fulfill an assignment or post a treat on AO3, clarifies that treats do not have to meet assignment requirements, and notes that the collection is moderated and not to panic if work approvals take a few days (there are only two of us!).
Fandoms
Several fandoms have been nominated where the only nomination is a crossover. We will give these 24 hours and then associate crossover ships with Crossover Fandom and reject fandoms with no remaining nominated ships.
Relationships
General requests
When nominating in a fandom with multiple similarly named canons, please disambiguate with the name of the specific canon, e.g., Witcher TV rather than The Witcher.
Please check the tagset before nominating to minimize duplication, especially if you're nominating within a large fandom.
When nominating Canon Character/Original Character(s), please put the disambiguation at the end of the ship, as in Canon Character/Original Character (Canon Name), so it doesn't look like a crossover.
Original Work nominators:
- Nomination formatting in this exchange is a little different from most other exchanges. Please check the rules and make sure your nominations are formatted correctly.
- If you nominated ships with multiple genders, please specify gender for each character unless the language of the nomination is inherently gendered. We assume an heiress is female and a widower is male, but words such as rogue, gold-digger, knight, socialites, and demon are unclear. The FM prefix is used for both Male Character/Female Character and Female Character/Male Character ships. Use any if you don't care what gender the character is.
Specific queries
Crossover nominators, please ignore the text at the top of the nomination form (which AO3 provides and we cannot change) and nominate crossovers under Crossover Fandom. Crossovers between subfandoms, such as Sixth Doctor (DW 1963)/Thirteenth Doctor (DW 2005), should also be nominated under Crossover Fandom. We will give existing misplaced crossover nominations 24 hours and then associate them with Crossover Fandom.
Please remove piping from nominations in the following fandoms, or let us know if it's needed for disambiguation:
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (TV 2018) (will be rejected in 24 hours if not fixed)
Dark Matter (TV)
Fate/Grand Order (if you nominated as Character | Class, please reformat as Class Character)
Fire Emblem
Overwatch (Video Game)
陈情令 | The Untamed (TV)
魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù
Assassin's Creed - All Media Types: We're not sure how Hercule Poirot (Agatha Christie: Poirot TV) & Sherlock Holmes (Sherlok Holmes - ACD Novels) ended up here, but please nominate it under Crossover Fandom.
Blake's 7: For the nomination Bayban/Any (Blake’s 7), does "Any" mean "Any Character" or literally anyone including OCs, reader, crossovers, etc.? Please clarify.
The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells: For the nomination Murderbot (Murderbot Diaries) & Other(s), does "Other(s)" mean "Any Character(s)" or literally anyone including OCs, reader, crossovers, etc.? Please clarify.
MCU: Loki/Thor is now in the tagset, so we will reject Catboy!Loki/Dogboy!Thor. If you want this specific dynamic, it's fine to nominate it as a freeform.
Original Work: For Other: Reclusive Witch & Wizard Sent to Kill Her & Orphans Abandoned In The Woods (OW), please add genders and clarify whether the wizard has been sent to kill both the witch and the orphans, or only the witch.
Freeforms
We have been advised that some Supernatural-specific freeforms include spoilers. It's fine to keep nominating these, but if you care about avoiding spoilers for that show, take caution when reading the S section of the freeforms. All those freeforms appear to start with the "SPN:" prefix.
Boot kink - A forces B rub off on their boot as a "favour" -- Is this meant to be a favor to A or to B?
