Nominations 2019!

[chocolateboxmod]

Chocolate Box lives and is now accepting nominations! This year you can nominate up to seven fandoms and seven relationships.

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!

Hi. I'm roguefaerie on AO3. This is my first time doing Chocolate Box. I nominated before leaving for the holidays because the noms were in full swing. I may end up with some regrets about doing it on the early side. But that said...I nominated some SMALL fandoms but that have been coming up in other exchanges but not getting fics (not a complaint, just background). I promise all the characters nominated are really in the fandoms I chose. I love side characters and also like ensemble gen type stuff so where there was room for that I tried to add a few more characters who don't have canonical tags yet. If anyone can back me up on these while I'm not available that's great, but I'll try to answer any questions about them if they come up and aren't fielded by someone else. I'll definitely be back on the 26th.

Hello! Chocolate Box doesn't discriminate against small fandoms, and we'd be delighted to have your small fandom in our tagset. Is there a tag that we haven't approved yet for one of those fandoms?

Hi! I am roguefaerie there and it looks like about half of mine are approved. I nominated Practical Magic (a 1997-98 movie), Sliding Doors (pretty much same) and Ravenous. For one of my tags (for Practical Magic) I nominated the 4 main characters (witches) in a gen setting, and I don't know if that's too many characters. I was just trying to nominate basically "Something gen about them as a family." All of them are canonical characters but all 4 as a gen "ship" isn't canonical yet.

I hope I've explained enough so that my noms go through but let me know if you have any other questions and I'll try to answer. Some family is getting here in about an hour but I'm not leaving on my trip til tomorrow AM.

There's no set limit on the number of characters you can nominate in a relationship. Non-canonical relationships are also fine! There is a character limit (100) on relationships but I believe yours have been approved now.

Thanks so much!
