Nominations open in two days  
This is the 2013 post! Do not comment here anymore!

Comment here or at livejournal with what you plan to nominate. Clarify categories with the mod. Advertise empty slots. Maximise your nominations.

For the record, comics will be nominated by universe (for example Marvel 616, Marvel Adventures, Marvel Cinematic Universe). All of Doctor Who TV will be together and Big Finish will be on its own. Not being overburdened by female characters, Tolkien's Middle-Earth works will be together.

I'm not super familiar with Non-western fandoms and RPF fandoms, so guidance on how to group them would be welcome.

ETA: Rules post here, but to sum up: You may nominate up to five fandoms, and you may nominate up to five pairings in each fandom.

At the end of nominations, fandoms that do not have at least two pairings in them will be eliminated, as offers and requests on sign ups must have at least two pairings, and fandoms with one or no pairings would be a waste of everyone's time. Please consider whether or not you can request/offer more than one pairing before nominating a fandom.

ETA 2: After due consideration, we're allowing each participant to request ONE fandom with a single pairing. Therefore, fandoms with single pairings won't be deleted at the end of nominations. Fandoms with no pairings still will.

So even in a major femslash fandom like Rizzoli & Isles where most of the participants would only want to write & receive the titular pairing, they would all have to be willing to write and receive additional pairings?

[Er, not trying to sound sassy or grumpy, which upon re-reading I realize this could come across as. Just trying to figure this out.]

Let me talk to the other mod and get back to you. My initial feeling is the road to madness is paved with exceptions.

Sorry to cause trouble. Not everyone who strongly prefers one option over another is as kindhearted as you are by not requesting it at all. And it really sucks to be matched to them. :)

Ranking pairings in your request is also against the rules, but I guess there's more subtle ways to do it.

Now's the time to cause trouble. After the fest is going is a royal pain.
