Nominations are open!  
If you haven't already please read the rules before you start nominating. The nomination guidelines are the same as last year but there have been other small changes to the rules and guidelines for this round.

In short:
  • You may nominate up to ten fandoms with up to ten relationships in each.

  • All nominated characters must be female or genderqueer characters 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. The Character(s) version of OFC tags will no longer be used and any canonical nominations using this format will be approved without the plural. If nominating poly ships with original characters, please indicate the specific number of characters you would like included, eg. [Canonical Character]/Original Female Character/Original Female Character.

  • [Canonical Character]/[Unnamed Character] is allowed in cases where they were most likely a woman or genderqueer character, but we don't know exactly who they were, 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 drop down into the comments below to see what fandoms and pairings others are nominating, and how to nominate large/complicated fandoms.

Nobody is arguing that Crowley doesn't present as male--and is referred to using he/him pronouns--for most of the series. Some of us are arguing that the times Crowley presents as female indicate something important about the character and are worthy of exploration in a femslash exchange. I can't speak for everyone, but if I were to write Crowley-as-Nanny-Ashtoreth, or Crowley in Judea, or Crowley-presenting-as-female-at-any-other-point-in-history, I would certainly use female pronouns for her in those fics.
