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.

participants could choose to nominate accordingly

That doesn't really work, though. If my fandom right now only has A/B nominated, my ship, that's great for me and there's no reason for me to nominate a second ship like A&B. However, I have no way of knowing what other people may still nominate. Someone might well nominate my NOTP B/C an hour before nominations close and I wouldn't know. Then the two nominated ships for that fandom would be A/B and B/C and I couldn't offer the fandom anymore. Someone whose only match might have been me writing A/B for them would not have a possible writer anymore, because I couldn't offer A/B without also having to offer B/C.

TLDR: Making it harder for people to offer the pairings they want to write makes matching harder, not easier.
