Admin Post - Chocolate Box 2018

[chocolateboxmod]

Never fear, for Chocolate Box is returning for 2017/8! Nominations have opened and will continue through until the 29th.

You can find the tag set here!

In terms of nominations generally:

• just about any fandom is eligible;
• Please remember that "Character A/Character B" is shipfic, "Character A & Character B" is genfic, and "Character A/Character B & Character C" is shipfic that also has a gen component;
• If you are nominating a character that has multiple versions across canons, please specify which one;
• There is no limit on the number of characters that can be in a combination other than the AO3 character limit;
• Objects can be nominated in tags;
• Crossovers must be nominated in "Crossover Fandom", which is already nominated. Crossovers that are not nominated in this fandom will be deleted.
• Original Works are okay and I have nominated that fandom for you already;
• You will be required to offer two tags per fandom on signups (unless only one relationship tag is nominated), so please keep that in mind when nominating.

Please watch this comm for updates about clarifications, merging of fandoms, and general administrative enquiries! If you have any questions, drop them here!

Should/can I nominate Homestuck and Hiveswap relationships under the same fandom tag? Hiveswap is a spinoff of Homestuck with a few shared characters and a fully shared universe; personally I'd like to have them together, because I can nom a lot more relationships than I can fandoms, and also so I can request relationships involving characters from both (shared universe, so everyone in one series is also in the other) without spending another fandom slot on Crossovers, but I understand that others may not share this opinion.

I'll get through the first round of approvals and drop that one onto a admin post for discussion along with a few other issues.

I have a similar situation with the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel: the Series fandoms. Angel's a spinoff, half the cast was a former main on Buffy, and the shows themselves crossover and reference events from each other throughout the duration of the series.
