Nominations Are Open!

[sunberry]

I decided to get things opened up a day early because of the long weekend :)

The tag set can be found here.


Some nominations guidelines:

* Nominations will be four fandoms, up to six relationships and/or characters, and relationship tags can be / or &. That means any six tags per fandom, whether six individual characters, gen and/or shippy groups, or a mix.

* The tag set is using the Character field, please nominate gen or shippy combos as "Group: A/B" or "Group: A & B", etc.


What about series/franchises/games with sequels?

I'm not going to police how folks might want their offers or requests, they can be as narrow or as broad as you like. :) That said, some guidelines:

* If a game belongs to a greater franchise, has sequels or prequels, or is otherwise part of a larger set, please keep your preferences in mind and nom to suit.

For example, if you wanted to offer or receive a work for Final Fantasy VII, but only the original game, nominate "Final Fantasy VII". If you would like the Compilation as an option, nominate "Compilation of Final Fantasy VII".

Please make sure that characters which are from umbrella canon sets don't get nominated where they don't actually belong! (For example, Genesis Rhapsodos for anything other than Compilation of FFVII, Crisis Core, etc. since he's not from the original game.)

I would also recommend specifying exactly what you're looking for in the case of multiple game variations, for example the Birthright-Conquest-Revelation trio of Fire Emblem Fates. Of course if you really would be fine with any of those (for example), leaving off the specifics is also fine!


* Please disambiguate your character and group nominations! There's a good chance of characters repeating from one fandom nomination to another, and disambiguations will help me keep them where they need to be.

For example, and going back to Final Fantasy VII:

- If you are nominating Cloud for the original game, add (FFVII) or the like to his name.
- If you are nominating Cloud for the Compilation, add (Compilation).
- If you are nominating Cloud for Dissidia Opera Omnia, add (DOO) or (Opera Omnia) or etc.

I would also like to see groups disambiguated, for the same reasons.

Nominations without a disambiguation tag attached will be rejected, so please re-check your noms before submitting them! If you aren't sure, feel free to ask :) There will be nomination clarification posts going up as noms continue on, questions are fine there too.

Please Remember To Disambiguate Your Nominations!

[sunberry]

If you're nomming a character or group that can fit under more than one game (Cloud Strife is still a good example), please remember to disambiguate your nomination like described in the nominations post.

It cuts down on my needing to add in disambigs on your nominations and lets other people nom the same character in other categories without choking up their noms :)
