2021 Nominations Open!

[mistlemod]

Nominations are open!

Welcome to another round of Mistletoe Exchange :D

Tagset | Collection

Nomination Guidelines

“Nominations” are how we create a tag set, which allows us to run AO3’s automatic matching for assignments. You can nominate up to 6 fandoms with 10 relationships each. All relationship tags must be in the format Character 1/Character 2 (or 1/2/3 etc), indicating a romantic or sexual relationship.

Gen or platonic relationships are outside the scope of this exchange.

Please avoid piping and diacritics where possible.

Crossovers:
Crossovers go into the designated "Crossover Fandom." The format must be "Character A (fandom 1)/Character B (fandom 2). Ex: "Sherlock Holmes (BBC Sherlock)/Ash Ketchum (Pokemon)"

Original Work:
Divide original work nominations under separate “fandoms” according to relationship category.

• Original M/M - includes M/M/M+
  
• Original M/F - includes all mixed-gender ships, like M/M/F, F/F/M, etc.
  
• Original F/F - includes F/F/F+
  
• Original Other/Any - for relationships that don’t fit under the previous categories, or relationships where you don’t care what gender configuration you receive

Animal and monster characters are slotted into the gender group. For example, Princess/Dragon under F/F is understood to be a female dragon.

RPF:
Real Person Fiction nominations must be of people famous in their own right -- non-famous spouses or friends of famous people will be rejected. Contemporary RPF nominations must also be of people 18 years or older. We will not accept political RPF nominations.

Other Fandoms

In general, please nominate all fandoms that are in the same universe under one single umbrella. Different versions of the same canon which differ significantly (such as The Witcher) should be nominated separately.

MCU movies: Please nominate these under "Marvel Cinematic Universe"
Star Wars: Please nominate all Star Wars under "Star Wars - All Media Types"
DCEU movies: Please nominate all the DCEU superhero movies under "DC Extended Universe"
DC shows on CW: Please nominate all of the CW DC superhero shows under "DC's Arrowverse"
Final Fantasy VII: Please nominate the FFVII Remake (and all other FFVII IPs) under "Compilation of Final Fantasy VII"
The Witcher: Please nominate these separately (TV, Novels, Video Game)

Question, when nominating for Star Trek Fandoms are we doing the "ST Classic Timeline" like last year? Or do we nominate based on shows or movies?

[mistlemod]

Thanks for asking! We're doing ST Classic Timeline like last year, yes.

Just to query the FFVII remake being included together with the rest of the compilation please. There are entirely new characters and different events in the remake to the extent I'd be uncertain of being matched to an assignment I can create for and so won't be able to request/offer the compilation with them grouped together, and thought it worth mentioning in case it's the same for other people too

Apologies if I've missed earlier discussion on this elsewhere

Quick question, should ships for Stargirl (TV 2020) be nominated under that or under DC's Arrowverse, I don't think it's officially part of the Arrowverse but it is on the CW.

[mistlemod]

Hi, thanks for reaching out. The Compilation has always been a bit messy, but since the events of FF7, Advent Children, Before Crisis, Crisis Core, and Dirge of Cerberus all directly play into FF7 Remake and are referenced throughout FF7R, it does not make sense to split it out as its own canon. This is similar to how we're handling Star Wars, Arrowverse, Buffyverse, etc.

[mistlemod]

Stargirl should be nominated separately. Thanks for checking!

[(Anonymous)]

I'm in the same boat...in other exchanges I've simply requested and offered only the ships/characters that I know, and in my DNW's, I say that, since I've not played the remake, please stick to the pre-remake version of the story and characters, and it's worked out well so far.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining.

[(Anonymous)]

That's really helpful, thanks.

I see some of mine probably belong under an umbrella universe tag, but they're approved so I don't know if I can edit them now. I'm so sorry if I made extra work for you!

The Bourne Legacy (Bourne Movies?)
The Originals (TVD Universe?)
American Horror Story - Coven (AHS series?)

There's a typo in a Dr. Quinn Woman Medicine Woman nomination:

Teresa Morales Slicker/Jack Slicker (Dr. Quinn) should be Teresa Morales/Slicker/Jake Slicker (Dr. Quinn)

[mistlemod]

Could you confirm if this is your nomination? It looks to us like Teresa's canonical tag is Teresa Morales Slicker so we'd like confirmation from the nominator before assuming this is a typo.

[mistlemod]

Thanks for checking! We don't think The Bourne Legacy or AHS need to be nominated under their umbrella fandoms, and we'll consider merging TVD and The Originals.

[klutzygirl]

Oops, made a typo again - sorry about that. It should be Teresa Morales Slicker/Jake Slicker (Dr. Quinn). The typo was actually Jake's name - I accidentally typo'd it as Jack the first time.

Here is my nomination:

[mistlemod]

Thank you for confirming! We've fixed that.

[klutzygirl]

You're welcome, and thank you for fixing it!
