Nominations open!

[chocolateboxmod]

 It's a bit early, but I figured "why not?"

You can find the tag set here! Nominations close at 11:59pm EST on December 29.

In terms of nominations:

• just about any fandom is eligible;
• Please remember that "Character A/Character B" is shipfic while "Character A & Character B" is genfic
• There is no limit on the number of characters that can be in a combination other than the AO3 character limit;
• 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 my getting increasingly drunk as we head towards Christmas! DRUNK MOD BEST MOD.

Is there a shorter way to nominate a whole group of characters and their relationship? For instance, if I wanted to write/request the whole Leverage team, is there a way to do it other than "Sophie Devaroux&Nathan Ford&Alec Hardinson&Eliot Spencer&Parker"?

(That's just an example from a not so obscure canon. I want to nominate the Gentlemen Bastards from Scott Lynch's Gentlemen Bastard Sequence.)

I don't know! But I'd be happy to listen to suggestions if anyone has any, because I suspect you won't be the only one with this problem.

The idea I had, was if the group has a canonical name, to use that plus "relationship", if Ao3 would support that. So, "Leverage Team- Relationship" or "Gentlemen Bastards Gang- Relationship," or "Crystal Gems- Relationship."

Those could work! So long as it is clear to those in the fandom what is meant by the tags, I'm fine with it!

There are existing group tags in a couple of fandoms I know of; I actually used them in my nominations. "Blood Blockade Battlefront" has "Libra and Leonardo Watch" (Libra being the organization the protagonists work for in canon), and "Fullmetal Alchemist" has "Roy Mustang and Team Mustang" (even though Mustang's subordinate officers are absolutely never referred to as anything like that in canon). Since these are just outgrowths of usage within the fandoms, though, I suppose they wouldn't really apply to anything worked out specifically for this exchange.
