Clarifications

[Stardew Valley] Harvey/Shane & Self - "& Self" nominations should be single character. Would you prefer this to be Harvey/Shane or Shane & Self? If you don't respond, we will accept both Harvey/Shane and Shane & Self.

[Witcher (Video Game)] Geralt/Wild Hunt Riders - Do you want canonical Wild Hunt Riders (in which case we will accept as "Geralt/Any Wild Hunt Riders") or OC Wild Hunt Riders (in which case we will accept as "Geralt/Original Wild Hunt Riders")? If you don't respond, we will accept as Geralt/Any Wild Hunt Riders.

[Buffy the Vampire Slayer] Angel (BtVS) & Connor (AtS), Connor (AtS)/Spike (BtVS) - We noticed that Connor is specified (AtS). Is the Angel character significantly different, and if so, do you specifically want that version of him? If you don't reply, we will accept as Angel & Connor (BtVS) and Connor/Spike (BtVS).

[Les Misérables - All Media Types] Javert/Jean Valjean - Please nominate a specific adaptation or version (do you want the book, one of the movies, one of the musicals, or some other version of Les Mis?), or if you really need the AMT tag, let us know. If you don't respond, we will reject this.

[Doctor Who & Related Fandoms] The Doctor/The Master (Doctor Who) - Please nominate a specific Doctor and specific Master, under Doctor Who (1963) or Doctor Who (2005), or if you really need the Related Fandoms tag, let us know. If you don't respond, we will reject this.

Tags Not Accepted

These tags will not be accepted, but feel free to modify your nominations or reuse your slot on something else.

[Word of Honor RPF] Gong Jun/Zhang Zhehan & Their Conflicting Schedules (WoH RPF) - We like the cut of your jib, but this is not the hatred we are looking for.

[Word of Honor RPF] Gong Jun/Zhang Zhehan & Angry Anti-gay Solo Fans who Stalk them + Prevent Them Meeting Up (WoH RPF), Gong Jun/Zhang Zhehan & Obsessive Stalker(s) Jealous Over One of Them (WoH RPF) - These nominations are too specific: please keep OC nominations to a short character description. Specific scenarios should go in the optional details of your request.

Nominations are open! The nomination form is here. You may nominate 7 fandoms and 7 relationships per fandom. The tagset will close on June 12 (Countdown to 8pm deadline)

Fandoms

• Crossovers, original works, and RPF are all eligible.
• There are no rarity requirements.
• Please do not nominate “All Media Types” — be as specific as possible instead to reduce confusion.
• If you’re sure that AMT is right for your fandom, please comment below to discuss.
• Please see below for fandom-specific nomination guidelines for the following fandoms: DC’s Arrowverse, DCEU, Dragon Age, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars, and X-Men Movies.

Relationships

• Relationships can be sexual/romantic (/) or platonic (&) or a mix (A/B & C)
• Relationships can involve two or more characters.
• All characters in RPF relationships should be 18+ and famous in their own right.
• Crossover relationships should be nominated under “Crossover Fandom”. Please disambiguate each character with the fandom they belong to

  Example:

  • Character A (Fandom 1)/Character B (Fandom 2)
• Original Works ships should be nominated under the “Original Work” fandom. Nominators who want a specific gender configuration should bake it into the tag.

  Example:

  • Male Elf/Male Dwarf
• Self-hatred should be nominated as “Character A & Self”. This is only for self-hatred in the typical, non-shipping meaning of the term. To nominate selfcest, please see the guidelines below.
• Selfcest should be nominated using whatever character disambiguations make sense for the selfcest you want. If you use no disambiguations, creators who match on that tag will be able to pick any versions of the character they want.
  Examples:
  • Character A/Clone Character A
  • Character A (Fandom 1)/Character A (Fandom 2)

Nomination Clarifications + Other Matters

• Mods may edit nominations before accepting them.
• Mods will post questions and clarifications to the DW community. If your nomination has been left unreviewed for a long time, please check the DW community in case a clarification was needed.
• If the mods post asking for clarification and never received one, they will either make their best guess or reject your tag.
• As “who hates who within the ship” cannot be enforced by the matching algorithm, we will consider this an optional detail. For example, if you offer A/B, you may match someone who wants “A hates B but B does not hate A”, and if you offer A/B & C you may match to someone who wants “A hates C but not B”.
• If you want a particular relationship dynamic for who hates who in your requested ship, please specify these in your optional details. If you want a particular relationship dynamic for who hates who in your offered ship, please check the details of your potential matches to see if your preferences align. Request details will be public.
• Anon commenting is on.

Star Wars: Thrawn Series - Timothy Zahn (2017)

• Many of these were changed due to tag drift.
• Please check that your tags are under the fandom you want them under.

Phantom of the Opera and Related Fandoms
