Nominations open!

[ishie]

Nominations are now open on AO3!

We're so excited for this year's exchange, we're getting started a little early: you will have until July 15 @ 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. 
• 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.

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

Will the tagset be made visible before nominations close?

[(Anonymous)]

+1, this would be ideal. There are going to be a lot of duplicate/wasted nominations, otherwise :(

[(Anonymous)]

+2

[gehayi]

It would be better if the tagset were visible. There's no point in nominating the same characters and crossovers over and over again.

[weasleytook]

Hi gehayi! :) We have never made the tagset visible in past years, and while there have been changes this year, that won't be one of them. I explained it in a comment above why, but mostly if we can do ONE thing to keep the tagset to a reasonable number, this is that one thing. (We might be deluding ourselves, but we need to maintain at least a little control even though we've loosened other things up this year. Hope you understand.)

Also: Feel free to list what you've nominated here in hopes of finding others to second (or third) your nominations - I think that is a holdover from previous years' instructions? I assume the sentence can now end at 'here'. ^!^

All the other ones I thought of have already been nominated! If anyone wants me to use one of my free slots to nom something, I totally will.

[days4daisy]

Ooooh, these are all great ideas. The more people nominate, the more crossovers I want XD

If you have room, would you mind adding iZombie? That's the one fandom I haven't been able to squeeze into my noms, but I'd love to be able to request it.

Edit: Nevermind! Someone else got it :D

[gehayi]

ETA: Star Trek: TOS was already nominated, so I cut that and inserted The Force Awakens instead.

[mirrored_illusions]

Most of my favorite fandoms seem to already have been nominated, so I offer up these instead:

* Thoughtcrimes (2003)
* The Walking Dead (TV)
* Numb3rs

[weaselett]

Just curious - did you not nominate criminal minds in the end? (it's not on the tagset)

[miramira]

I think most of the big fandoms have been covered, so...

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Shades of Magic - V. E. Schwab
Ender's Game - All Media Types
DC Animated Universe
Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog
The West Wing
Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold

[isis]

My nominations:

The Invisible Library - Genevieve Cogman

Wiedźmin | The Witcher (Video Game)
Bloody Jack Adventures - L. A. Meyer
Aubrey-Maturin Series - Patrick O'Brian
Black Sails
Outlander Series - Diana Gabaldon
Rivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch

[we_protect_each_other]

I nominated four anime that I, personally, think about crossing over in various ways all the time. Two of them (the ones with the pointless semicolon punctuation) are in the same universe but do not have broad canonical overlap. The four I have nominated are:

Steins;Gate
Robotics;Notes
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica | Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Fate/stay night & Related Fandoms

Assuming I will be able to participate, I also hope to offer and request some live action/western fandoms, too, but most of those I might be interested in appear to already be nominated. Does anyone have any that they don't have room for that they really want nominated? I could be persuaded to even if I don't really know them to take up one or two of my extra spaces while I brainstorm.

[wnnb_darklord]

If you can't think of any others, would you consider adding The Adventure Zone (Podcast)? I got into it after I already nominated mine and I'm already attached to all my nominations.

[lirin_lirilla]

I nominated:

Now You See Me (Movies)
Tomorrowland (2015)
Mission: Impossible (Movies)
Oxford Time Travel Universe - Connie Willis
Perry Mason (TV)
Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
Tangled (2010)
Big Hero 6 (2014)

[graycardinal]

At the next-to-last minute:

Adventures of Brisco County Jr.
Birds of Prey (TV)
Gargoyles (TV)
Murder She Wrote
Stargate SG-1
Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?*
Wild Wild West (TV)
Young Wizards - Diane Duane

* Just in case, this is specifically the DIC animated series as opposed to the PBS game show(s); I believe both iterations have AO3 canonicals.
