Nominations Rules 2019

[fiachairecht]

Ao3 Collection | Tagset

You’re allowed five fandoms and eight character slots. Any fandom is eligible, including RPF, original works, and crossovers. Original Works and Crossover Groups can be found under No Media in the tagset.

Characters/Groups
- Either single characters or a group of female characters can be nominated for the character slots. For example, you can nominate Elizabeth Bennet and you can nominate Group: Elizabeth Bennet & Lydia Bennet.

- Female is defined the same as it was in the 2018 FAQ, but to recap:

• Cis women


• Trans women


• Canon female versions of canonical male characters


• Video game characters where you chose the gender


• Characters whose gender is not revealed by canon


• 2nd person works where the gender is not clearly stated


• RPF of people who identify as female


• Cases where a character is not necessarily a woman in canon, but a case can be made where a reasonable person would understand why they could be interpreted as such

- If you nominate a group, all members must be female.

- Nominate groups as Group: Eliza & Claire, with as many characters as you like. Use specific characters, not general groups. All members of the group should be included when the group is requested.

- During requests, recips may request shippy or platonic fic based on the group. It is not required to fulfill any requests for relationship fic, however.


Crossovers
- Crossover Groups can be found under No Media in the tagset.

- Crossovers should be nominated under the fandom Crossover Groups. Format the group as Group: Character A (Fandom A) & Character B (Fandom B). For example, Group: Aredhel (The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-earth) & Susan Pevensie (Chronicles of Narnia). If you hit a character limit, let the mod know. If in doubt, feel free to ask.

Modern RPF
- There are special rules for modern RPF fandoms (credit for this section goes to pumpkinkingmod, whose wording on previous rules posts is pretty much perfect):

• Must be over 18


• Can be removed at the request of the individual


• Must not be in horrendously bad taste. Mods determine what horrendously bad taste is.


• Non-famous family/friends are not eligible
