Nominations Are Open!  
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

  • All characters in nominated threesomes/moresomes must be women or gender questioning/queer people you'd be comfortable writing about in a femslash challenge.

  • Please nominate crossovers as under the fandom: Crossovers - Fandom, and list the characters with their fandom after the character name (Example: Pepper Potts (MCU)/Seven of Nine (Star Trek: Voyager)

  • [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 Work, 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 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., Agent Carter and Daredevil are part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so please nominate them there.

    • If it has Hugh Jackman and mutants in it, it's X-Men (Movies)

    • Marvel Comics will be nominated by universe, for example: Marvel 616, Marvel Adventures, etc.

    • 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.

    • All Rune Factory series will be nominated together.

    • FF X and FF X-2 will be nominated as "Final Fantasy X & Final Fantasy X-2"

    • The Les Mis tag will be "Les Miserables (All Media Types)."

    • Law and Order series will be nominated separately by series name.

    • The Arrow and The Flash tv shows will be nominated together as "Arrow & The Flash (CW)"

  • 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?

Nominations will remain open until 5pm PDT, 20 August 2015. (Countdown Clock)

Nomination changes
Will we be able to change what we've nominated until the due date? Can we nominate 3 and then select a fourth later, for example, or change something we've already put down with or without mod help?

Re: Nomination changes
Once nominations are approved/rejected by the mods, you can't change them. However, if you use fewer than all five of your spots, you can add stuff until signups close.

Now that I've made my nominations, I must say, I'm so excited for this year's exchange. Last year provided some of the best, most diverse femslash works I've read in years, and a good chunk of my bookmarks and favorites come from this exchange. Keep up the good work!

It's always great to see all the different fandoms and relationships that get nominated. So cool.

girl, you're a dandelion[personal profile] sarken on August 12th, 2015 02:22 am (UTC)
I think The Closer and Major Crimes (TV) have run into a case of wandering tags (where canonical tags ignore the fandom they were nominated in and just add themselves to all the fandoms they're wrangled in) -- they both have the exact same set of relationships:

Andrea Hobbs/Brenda Leigh Johnson/Sharon Raydor
Andrea Hobbs/Sharon Raydor
Ann McGinnis/Sharon Raydor
Brenda Leigh Johnson/Sharon Raydor
Sharon Raydor/Original Female Character(s)

The Ann McGinnis/Sharon Raydor tag should probably only be in Major Crimes (TV) -- I don't think the character was in The Closer, and IMDB agrees -- and the two tags with Brenda Leigh Johnson should probably only be in The Closer, but I'm not sure about Andrea Hobbs/Sharon Raydor or Sharon Raydor/Original Female Character(s).

Oh dear. I hadn't realised they were connected fandoms of I'd have kept a closer eye on drift in that case.

Thanks for working out what goes where. I'll put a question out about the rest.
