Nomination Rules & Guide

Nomination Rules

• You can nominate up to 10 fandoms (including Crossover Fandom & Rule 63), with 20 relationships allowed per fandom. All relationships must be / relationships.
• Original Female Characters: Please nominate all ships involving original female characters under the relevant fandom. List the original female character first followed by the Marvel character(s). If you want an original female character as part of a crossover threesome or moresome, please list them first under Crossover Fandom. If you want an original female character as part of a Rule 63 relationship, please list them first under Rule 63 Fandom.
• Crossover Fandom: Nominate crossover relationships under 'Crossover Fandom'. Ignore the AO3 instructions on crossovers. The format for crossover relationships is: Character A (fandom)/Character B (fandom) or Character A (fandom)/Character B (fandom)/Character C (fandom) etc. If you want an original female character as part of a crossover threesome or moresome, please list them first under Crossover Fandom in the format Original Female Character/Character B (fandom)/Character C (fandom) - e.g. Maria Hill (Marvel Cinematic Universe)/Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk) Note* If you want a Rule 63 character as part of a crossover threesome or moresome, please nominate them under Rule 63 Fandom
• Rule 63 Fandom: If you want more information on why Rule 63 is allowed, please refer to the Rules & FAQ post. The format for Rule 63 relationships is: Male Character Name A/Male Character Name B (Rule 63 Fandom) - e.g. James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers (Rule 63 MCU). (Note: When works are published for this fandom, they should be tagged Rule 63, Female ‘Male Character Name’, etc) If you want an original female character as part of a Rule 63 relationship, please list them first under Rule 63 Fandom in the format Original Female Character/Male Character Name - e.g. Original Female Character/Bruce Banner. If you want a Rule 63 Character as part of a crossover, please list them under Rule 63 Fandom in the format Character A (fandom)/Character B (fandom)/Male Character C (Fandom) - e.g. Patricia Walker (She-Hulk)/Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk)/Thor (Rule 63 MCU)

Nomination Guide (you must be signed into ao3 to nominate relationships.)

• Go to the nominations form at the Tag Set
• On the upper right-hand corner of the screen there should be a grey button called 'nominate'. Click that button.
• The nomination form will appear. It will have ten slots for fandoms, with twenty relationships under each fandom. Note that you cannot nominate the same fandom twice. If you run out of slots, see below.
• Enter your fandoms/relationships and click the submit button at the bottom of the page. Note: you can do this in batches, so you do not need to know all of your nominations to start, the form will be editable until nominations close
• Your saved nominations will be displayed. Please note that I may not be able to approve them as they appear; it may take some time for your nominations to be displayed in the main tagset but I will be approving nominations at least twice a day.

Nomination Tips

• Try not to get too caught up in ao3’s dropdown menu, a lot of these tags will not be canonical yet.
• If you are looking for character inspiration, check out Meatball42’s MCU Characters post.
• If you are trying to enter a tag that is not in the drop down, or you don’t agree with the formatting in the drop down, enter your relationship followed by a comma ‘,’ and it should accept it - e.g. type in or cut/paste into the relationship box for Crossover Fandom

  Maria Hill (Marvel Cinematic Universe)/Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk),

• BE VERY CAREFUL if you use this tip as it is a bit of an ao3 hack, but in my experience works. If you are curious if another person has nominated something that is not in the tagset yet, but is awaiting approval, you can look for your relationship under a different/wrong fandom. Use something random and made up in the Fandom filed like “Ice Cream”, then in the relationship field enter the one your think might be waiting approval, lets say: Maria Hill/Natasha Romanov. When you try to save it will let you know it is already nominated under Marvel Cinematic Universe, or not. Or just go forth an if you need more slots, see below

Hey, just saw this advertised and excited you're running it.

I'm finding this post really hard to read. Looking at your code, I think your h3 header got stuck on for the whole post?

[marvelfemslashmod]

Ah, yes, thanks!

Hopefully that fixed it/helps, and please check out the fandom clarifications post. Relationship nominations clarifications post coming later today!

[muccamukk]

That did! Thank you! And I will check out that post.

Thanks!

These were all added. A couple of edits FYI:

+Valkyrie is Brunnhilde | Valkyrie in the tag set and as such is often listed first if you are looking for your pairings.
+Trish was changed to Patricia, but given her last name it didn't affect the order. There were a few other crossovers nominated earlier with "Trish" and have now been changed to Patricia. All the noms in The Defenders TV fandom are listed as Patricia Walker as well.
