Nominations are now open. Please read this post before you go and nominate!

Eligibility

Eligibility criteria are that relationships need to:

• be a / ship involving male characters only
  
• have no more than 200 fics on AO3 - this includes only complete works of at least 1000 words in English (using "otp:true")

A full list of the exchange rules can be found here.

Clarifications

If there's a possibility of confusion regarding a ship of fandom you wish to nominate, please comment on this post to clarify before you nominate.

This will hopefully cut down on queries during the nomination period so that approvals can be made more quickly. However, please bear in mind that checks are time-consuming and nominations are displayed to mods in a random unsortable order so most approvals won't be instantaneous!

Reasons to comment here may include:

• difficulty of locating information on a character's canonical gender
  
• your ship seems to be over the number limit even after applying search filters but is actually under it
  
• the fandom you wish to nominate is "All Media Types" or "& Related Fandoms" and this is the most fitting, specific tag
  
• the fandom is canonized weirdly on AO3 and you do not want to nominate that version for reasons
  
• anything else you wish to make me aware of!

Please do not comment if your ship has over 200 fics before filters but drops under 200 with them; we will be checking numbers using the appropriate search filters.

As a minimum, please let us know:

1. the fandom and ship(s)
   
2. an outline of the issue
   
3. your view why the fandom or ship(s) should be approved

Feel free to include as much additional info as you feel is necessary! Too little information is worse than too much =)


( Checking your ship's numbers )


The tag set will close for nominations at 20:00 UTC on Sunday June 29. View the countdown here.

Please bear in mind that numbers checks are time-consuming and nominations are displayed to mods in a random unsortable order. Most approvals won't be instantaneous and are unlikely to be in the order submitted!

Please read the instructions before you nominate.

( Guidelines and notes under the cut. )

If you wish to provide any information on the eligibility of your ship (re number of works after search filters, canonical gender, etc.), feel free to do so here!

If any nominations require clarification, I'll ask questions in a separate post.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here or email tentaclemod@gmail.com. Anon commenting is on.

Now go forth and nominate!
