Nominations are open!

[rfemod]

Nominations are now open! They will be open until December 10th, 10PM PST. [ Countdown to nominations closing ] | [ In your timezone ]

The rules are here, which will have additional information about the exchange.

An AO3 account is required to make nominations. If you need an invitation, please reach out to the mods via email or the comments section of this post. Anon comments are on, but they are not screened.

To qualify for this exchange, a ship needs to be a f/f ship with less than 250 works on AO3, complete, written in English, and filtered using the otp:true filter.

Characters need to be either women (canon or genderbent) or genderqueer characters that you think would fit in a f/f exchange. So someone like LaFontaine from the Carmilla web series would not be eligible. We're going to trust you to use your judgment on this one.

You can nominate up to 10 fandoms with 10 relationships ("/" only) each. We will not be accepting solo character nominations or relationships using "&".

All nominations must be disambiguated with the name of the canon after the ship, e.g. "Paris Geller/Rory Gilmore (Gilmore Girls)". If they are not disambiguated, we will request that this disambiguation be made before accepting the nomination. If the disambiguation is not made by the time nominations close, the nomination will be rejected.

Please specify which version of canon you would like rather than nominating under the 'all media' version of the tag, e.g. "Dragon Age (Video Games)" vs "Dragon Age (All Media)". Assassin's Creed is the exception to this rule.

Crossover Nominations: Please nominate crossovers with "Crossover Fandom" in the "Fandom" section of the nomination form, and both fandom names listed in the ship itself. e.g. "Dinah Lance (DCEU)/Natasha Romanov (MCU)".

Genderbent Ships: Nominate with a 'F' in front of the character(s) you want to genderbend, e.g. Natasha Romanov/F!Sam Wilson (MCU), Please remember that the original ship has to has to qualify, not the genderbent version, so Peggy Carter/F!Steve Rogers would not be eligible due to the fact that the fact that Peggy Carter/Steve Rogers is over the limit.

Threesomes/moresomes: Are permitted as long as they are eligible. However, v shaped relationships (e.g. "Maria Hill/Sharon Carter (MCU) & Sharon Carter/Natasha Romanov (MCU)") or two unrelated ships nominated together (e.g. "Lana Lang/Chloe Sullivan (Smallville) & Lois Lane/Tess Mercer (Smallville)") will not be accepted.

RPF: RPF is permitted, subject to eligibility as outlined above. Non-famous family members are not eligible. Under-18s are not eligible for modern RPF.

Regarding specific fandoms with various umbrella fandoms:

Arrowverse/DCTV: Please nominate under "Arrowverse (TV)". Shows not specifically in the Arrowverse but are part of the DC TV universe (i.e. Smallville, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Titans, Doom Patrol, etc.) should remain with their original tag. Shows such as Arrow and The Flash (2014) belong under "Arrowverse".

MCU: Please nominate under "Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)", e.g. "Maria Hill/Sharon Carter (MCU)". Marvel TV shows (i.e. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, WandaVision, TFATWS, Agent Carter, What If …?, Loki, etc.) need to be labelled with their own individual tag.

Doctor Who/Star Wars/Star Trek/X-Men/Stargate: Please refer to the specific version that you are nominating. For X-Men, please use either "The Original Trilogy" or "ATS" (for "Alternate Timeline Series").

Characters who are in separate subfandoms (e.g. "Jadzia Dax (Star Trek: DS9)/B'Elanna Torres (Star Trek: Voyager)") belong to the "Crossover Fandom" category.

Comics: Please nominate these under their specific category. For DCU, that would be "DCU (Comics)". With Marvel, please specify the version that you are nominating (Noir, 616, etc.), i.e. "Natasha Romanov/Carol Danvers (Marvel 616)".

DC Extended Universe: Please nominate under the "DCEU" tag, i.e. "Dinah Lance/Lois Lane (DCEU)".

Original characters in non-original canons: You may nominate Character/Original Character(s), e.g. "Diana (Wonder Woman)/Original Female Character"; "Leia Organa (Star Wars: Original Trilogy)/Original Jedi Character". You can be as specific as you would like. Any original character(s) nominated will be assumed to be female.

Original Works: These must be nominated under "Original Work" in the following format: "Character Type/Character Type", e.g. "Princess/Maid", "Pilot/Soldier/General", etc. All characters will be assumed to be female. If they are not nominated in this way, they will be rejected.
