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.

TCW: please nominate as "Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types" (please do not use All Media Types for anything else)
In-universe SW crossovers (e.g. Mace Windu/Thrawn, not Mace Windu/Steve Rogers): I'm happy for you to nominate those under whichever SW canon you think fits best, or under Crossover Fandom.
