Nominations will stay open until May 5, 11:59 PM EDT.
- IMPORTANT NOTE: In the relationship field, you may nominate groups of characters (eg: Nebula & Gamora (MCU)) or solo characters (eg: Solo: Raylan Givens (Justified)). This exchange does not match on / ships. Groups of characters must be nominated with "&". Any "/" nominations will be edited or rejected. (You may still mention ships in the optional details of your request.)
- IMPORTANT NOTE: Please disambiguate your nominations by putting the fandom (or an abbreviation for it) at the end of each tag in parentheses. (eg: Sam Winchester & Dean Winchester (SPN)).
- All fandoms are allowed, including RPF, as long as all real people nominated are famous in their own right and over the age of 18.
- You can nominate up to 10 fandoms, with a maximum of 20 relationships/solo characters per fandom.
- We do allow nominations of ensemble groups. Remember from the rules that If the characters were nominated as an ensemble group without their individual names listed, i.e., "The Avengers," then a gift must include at least two characters from that ensemble.
Nomination for specific fandoms:
- Crossovers: Should be nominated under Crossover Fandom. Please disambiguate each character. For example: "Varric Tethras (Dragon Age) & Stan Pines (Gravity Falls)."
- Original Works: Should be nominated under Original Work. If the gender of the characters is important to you, please include it in the character tags.
- Marvel Cinematic Universe nominations may be nominated under the appropriate movie subfranchise (Thor, GotG, etc) or in Avengers. If nominating in a subfranchise (for example, Thor (Movies)), all characters in the nom should have appeared in a movie from that subfranchise. Agents of SHIELD, Agent Carter, Wandavision, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, and the Marvel Netflix universe of shows are also all separate fandoms. The Marvel Netflix shows should be nommed together under The Defenders (Marvel TV). Please nominate crossover relationships between these different shows or movies under Crossover Fandom.
- Marvel comics may be nominated by title or under the name of the appropriate Marvel universe (Marvel 616, Marvel Ultimates, etc). Nominations for “Marvel (Comics)” will not be accepted.
- Star Wars nominations may be nominated under the appropriate movie, trilogy, TV show, etc (eg, Rogue One, Sequel Trilogy). “Crossover” noms between different parts of the Star Wars universe may be nominated under “Star Wars - All Media Types.”
- Star Wars Old EU: Books should go under "Star Wars: Legends Books" and be disambiguated with (SWL Books). Comics should go under "Star Wars: Legends Comics" and be disambiguated with (SWL Comics). Games should go into their individual games either combined or split depending on what is normal for that fandom.
- Buffy: The Vampire Slayer and Angel: The Series will both be nommed together under “Buffyverse (TV).”
- Star Trek is divided by show and the Alternate Original Series is alone. Movie characters from the Original Series or Next Gen movies may be nominated under the respective shows.
- DC Comics: All DC Comics nominations can go under that fandom, but if you would like a specific version please disambiguate which version of the character you want in parenthesis after each character.
- DC's Arrowverse: Please nominate characters from Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman, Superman & Lois, and Black Lightning (plus the webseries tie-ins) under "DC's Arrowverse".
- Dragon Age: Please nominate under "Dragon Age (Video Games)"
- Stargate: Please nominate under "Stargate - All Media Types"
- X-Men Movies: Please nominate for both Original Timeline Movies and Alternate Timeline Movies under "X-Men (Movieverse)," and disambiguate for the timelines. The other X-Men movies, like Deadpool, should be nominated under their own series/movie title.
