Nominations have now officially closed. We'd like to thank everyone who participated in this phase and we sincerely hope you'll all be signing up as well!

We will reviewing nominations over the next 24 hours, so you may see some of your fandoms rejected or approved at A03 as we go through them. However, please keep in mind that this may not accurately reflect what will be in the final tag set. We will post here once we are finished and the tag set is complete. We will also likely be posting here during the review period if we have questions about any of the fandoms nominated, so keep an eye out if you think any of your fandoms might need clarification.

Thanks again for nominating!

Nomination Clarifications

[galfridian]

Nominations are closed! You may notice that some fandoms have already been approved. These fandoms had the most nominations. This evening, we'll be working to approve the rest of this year's tag set.

Fortunately, most of the nominations were easy to understand and used canonical tags, so that will make the process easier.

However, we do have a few questions for you guys, if you could help us out. The fandoms in question: Thundercats, Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, James Bond, Marvel comics, and Final Fantasy. EDIT: Added some questions for Spider-man.

Dear Crossovering Writer Letters!

[weasleytook]

Sign-ups will be opening very shortly (the completed tag set is posted here, so check that out), so it's also time to link your Dear Crossovering Writer Letters (if you choose to do so).

These letters are 100% optional, but highly encouraged (particularly due to the nature of this exchange). If you've never participated in an exchange like this before, a Dear Writer Letter is a post at your DW/LJ/Tumblr/Blog, etc. detailing your requests and giving your assigned writer ideas for possible stories they can write, as well as any potential likes, dislikes and triggers you may have. You can link them here as well as in your sign-up form. How you format or write them is entirely up to you.

For more info and great examples of what we mean check out the following links: The Yuletide FAQ or last year's Yuletide Letters post.

Keep in mind that, a letter to your writer is COMPLETELY 100% OPTIONAL, which also means that writers are in no way required to follow the optional details. The only requirement is that they use the fandoms you requested and were matched on. Essentially: Optional details are optional.

Another added benefit of writing letter is you might get extra fics if someone not assigned as your writer finds your requests inspiring. We will also be making the sign-ups summary public as soon as sign-ups closed, so any additional details you put in your sign-up will be available for public viewing and treat writers.

If you are posting a link to your letter here, we ask that you copy/paste the following when you comment:

<b>Link to letter Your AO3 username</b> <b>Request 1</b>: List all fandoms requested <b>Request 2</b>: List all fandoms requested <b>Request 3</b>: List all fandoms requested (Optional) <b>Request 4</b>: List all fandoms requested (Optional) <b>Request 5</b>: List all fandoms requested
