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.

Yay! A Vorkosigan Saga nom! I'll second cordialcount below -- if Donna's eligible, I'd be excited to see Donna/Olivia if you wanted to nom another pairing. (Also, that's Kareen-Gregor's-mom you paired with Alys, right? Not Kareen-Drou's-daughter? And while I'm thinking of Kareen-Gregor's-mom, any interest in nominating Kareen/Drou?)

Yes, that's Kareen-Gregor's-Mom ;) - while I've read all the books, I'm back in the early books again for a reread, so I'd forgotten all about Kareen-Drou's-Daughter.

I think we might have to check with the mods on Donna, given the transition to Dono in canon, but I'd certainly be up for *receiving* Donna/Olivia fic; I'm not sure I could write it. Likewise I'll nominate and read Kareen-Gregor's-Mom/Drou, but I'm not good at certain dynamics, so ...

Mod is inclined to allow Donna/Dono under the new gender queer rule. However, writing Dono as an unambiguous transman would a) probably not line up well with canon, and b) be out of place in a femslash fest.

Oh, good! Thank you!

I'm not planning on nominating them, but now I'm curious -- would Bel Thorne (a hermaphrodite) be allowed in this fest? Or Ilario (another hermaphrodite) from the Mary Gentle novel of the same name?

That's fine as well.

I don't feel like casting the net to include intersex or hermaphrodite characters is going to move the fest off topic, and I'm not comfortable drawing lines through the middle of gender categories.
