Please read the rules before you start nominating.

In short:

• You may nominate up to five fandoms with up to five pairings in each.


• Both parties must be women or gender questioning/queer people you'd be comfortable writing about in a femslash challenge


• Threesomes/moresomes and crossovers may not be nominated (but they may be listed in optional details when you sign up).


• [Canonical Character]/Original Female Character is allowed. [Canonical Character]/Any is not allowed


• [Canonical Character]/[Unnamed Character] is allowed in cases where there most likely was a woman, but we don't know exactly who she was, for example: Galadriel/Legolas' Mother in The Hobbit fandom.


• There will be one category for Original Works, in which you may nominate things such as Princess/Handmaiden, Mermaid/Ship Captain, or Starship Captain/Chief Engineer.


• You may wish to check out the nomination discussion post from last week to see what fandoms and pairings others are nominating, and how to nominate large/complicated fandoms, but as a summary:
  
  • Songs with female singers and female or ambiguous pronouns are eligible.
  
  
  • Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is part of the Marvel Cinematic universe, so is Agent Carter.
  
  
  • If it has Hugh Jackman and mutants in it, it's X-Men (Movies)
  
  
  • Everything set in the Doctor Who universe can be nominated under Doctor Who (including Torchwood).
  
  
  • Tolkien fandoms will be split into The Silmarillion – J.R.R. Tolkein; The Hobbit (All Media Types), and The Lord of the Rings (All Media Types).
  
  
  • All of the Star Treks separate by series name.
  
  
  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel the Series and assorted spinoffs will go together under "Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Related Fandoms."
  
  
  • All variations of Sailor Moon will be nominated separately.
  
  
  • All Pretty Cure series will be nominated together.
  
  
  • FF X and FF X-2 will be nominated as "Final Fantasy X & Final Fantasy X-2"
  
  
  • Marvel Comics will be nominated by universe, for example: Marvel 616, Marvel Adventures, etc.
  
  
  • The Les Mis tag will be "Les Miserables (All Media Types)."
  
  If you're unhappy with any of those combinations/divisions, the mods are willing to negotiate, but the sooner you mention it (either here or in the nomination discussions), the more likely we are to be able to change it.

If you spot any doubles, misfiled fandoms, random pairing popping up under other fandoms or pairings that don't qualify, comment here. We're going to do our best to wrangle as we go.

Don't waste a nomination! Before you nominate anything, check the tag set to see if your pairings and fandoms are already there.

Okay, ready to go? More than ready to go?
