Nominations OPEN!

[weasleytook]

Nominations are now open on AO3!

You will have until July 3 @ 11:59 PM PDT 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 multiple times 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. Feel free to list what you've nominated here in hopes of finding others to second (or third) your nominations

As always, if you have any questions or need any assistance, do not hesitate to ask! Happy Nominating!

Matched you on Dresden Files!

[(Anonymous)]

Are you guys ever going to allow matching on characters?

[weasleytook]

We would absolutely love to do this in the future. Our main concern is that since we're a smaller exchange, it would make matching a lot more difficult since the pool of writers/recipients is smaller than other exchanges, but the diversity of the interests/requests might be too big. We're certainly always taking it in to consideration, and perhaps if we're blessed with more time to plan (this year has been hectic for all of us) next year, we can test it and see how it goes.

[argentum_ls]

I nominated:

The Tomorrow People (2013)
Forever (TV)

hey mods?

[meatball42.livejournal.com]

Is there any chance you could make the tagset available for viewing? It would help me with my nominating choices, and I'm sure others would appreciate the chance to get an extra fandom in instead of double-nominating.

Sorry if this is a really dumb question and I'm somehow not seeing it.

Re: hey mods?

[weasleytook]

Not a dumb question at all! Unfortunately, we don't make the tagset visible until after nominations are over and all eligible fandoms are approved. Because of the constraints of this particular exchange (people have to match on at least two fandoms) and in order to make matching go more smoothly, we like to keep the tagset smaller and making nominations visible may encourage people to spread their nomination slots among many more fandoms, making that difficult. (Hopefully that explains it well. If not, I apologize, but it's late!)

The best we can do is ask people to converse here and in the Brainstorming post in hopes of coordinating nominations. As mentioned previously, last year, all fandoms that had 2 or more nominations made the cut, and if things go the similarly this year, that may be all it takes to ensure a fandom gets it. Hope that helps!

[bethynyc.livejournal.com]

Here via Yuletide! This seems right up my alley!

Valdemar Series -- Mercedes Lackey
The Goblin Emperor -- Katherine Addison
Chalion Series -- Lois McMaster Bujold
Dragonriders of Pern -- Anne McCaffrey
Sandman (Comics)
The Melendy Quartet -- Elizabeth Enright
Ballet Shoes -- Noel Streatfeild
Killjoys (TV)

YAY! Another Killjoys fan!

[tlvop]

So far:

Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
Beyond Belief (Thrilling Adventure Hour) *
Young Wizards - Diane Duane
Back to the Future (Movies)

MODS: I nominated Beyond Belief under this name, despite the canonical "Thrilling Adventure Hour" tag, because it exists as its own separate universe/show inside of that collection of radio plays. I hope that makes sense!

[thedevilchicken]

Seconded Edge of Tomorrow (though you already know this!)

*Miraculous Ladybug
