Nominations open!

[galfridian]

Nominations are now open on AO3!

You have until June 12 @ 11:59 PM EDT to nominate up to 8 fandoms you might want to request or offer for Crossovering. (What time is that for me?)


Don't worry, we'll give warnings here and on Tumblr an hour before we close nominations, and we'll make sure everyone has plenty of time to get them in.

Now, here's how it works:

• If you've done nominations for Yuletide or another exchange, this will be very familiar. You'll go here under your AO3 account and select up to 8 fandoms.


• If the Archive provides you with a fandom tag while you're typing, please use that. It will make the process run much more smoothly.



• Once you've filled all of the slots, just click on submit at the bottom of the page and you're done! (Of course, you aren't required to use all 8 slots.)



• For fandoms with multiple continuities, you have the option of using the umbrella fandom tag (Fandom X - All Media Types, or Fandom Y and related fandoms, for example), or nominating each continuity separately (Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy VIII, &c.). Please check in at the Brainstorming Post to see if you have any overlap with another participant and keep in mind that we'll be using only the top 100 or so fandoms.



• Nominating fandoms is not a commitment to participate in the exchange itself! We'd love to have you, but if you just want to make sure the bases are covered for friends or to make sure there is something you're interested in if you do sign up, go right ahead! No one can write it or request it if it isn't nominated.



• If you're still unsure about how the exchange works, make sure you take a look at our FAQ page.



• If you need to let the mods know information about your fandom that will help it get approved or tagged properly, please leave that info in the comments so we can refer to it when we review nominations. Any other questions or comments or discussion of nominations can take place here as well.

My nominations are:

Hunger Games Series (all media types)
Harry Potter (JKR)
Lost
The Chronicles of Narnia - CS Lewis
Gilmore Girls
White Collar
Friends (TV)
Anne of Green Gables

I love the idea of crossing over the NYC-based fandoms (eg that Friends ep where Willie Garson is the president of the residents committee in Ross's new building could be an amazing basis for a Friends/White Collar crossover). Also, Lost and Narnia were totally made for each other!

Ooh, good, that might secure Hunger Games. And Narnia & HP would be fun.

(oops, that was me)

Crossing things over with the Hunger Games is really weirdly fun. I have a handful of ideas sitting at the back of my mind that I want to write eventually anyway, even without the extra motivation of an exchange!

I like the idea of crossing over the NYC-based fandoms because then at least I have some vague idea of where they could be happening in relation to each other. I'm dreadful at figuring out US crossovers otherwise because I forget where things are set and which state's next to what. (Possibly a function of Australia only having six states and a couple of territories.)

[morbane]

One reason fantasy/our-world crossovers are so much fun. :)

[laurenthemself]

YES.
