Nominations Open!

[longficmod]

Welcome to Fandom 5K nominations, 2019 edition!

Nominations are open over here. We do not have any restrictions on what can be nominated in terms of fandom size, type, and so forth, and we also allow crossovers and original fandoms to be nominated. Please nominate crossover relationships into the Crossover Fandoms tag, and original characters and relationships into the Original Work tag.

In terms of how to nominate characters versus relationships, please follow the format below:

• "Character A (fandom)" - this means that you are nominating Character A on their own. AO3 may suggest a tag to you - please do not use it for nominations and instead nominate as above. Save your mods and help prevent tag migration!
• "Group: Character A/Character B" - this means that you are nominating Character A/Character B in a ship, inside their own fandom.
• "Group: Character A & Character B" - this means that you are nominating Character A and Character B in a gen configuration, inside their own fandom.
• "Group: Character A (Fandom)/Character B (Fandom)" - this means that you are nominating Character A/Character B shipfic, and that it is a crossover. Please be specific about fandoms, especially if there are a lot of adaptations featuring Character A and/or Character B.
• "Group: Character A (Fandom) & Character B (Fandom)" this means you are nominating Character A and Character B in a gen configuration, and that it is a crossover. Please be specific about fandoms, especially if there are a lot of adaptations featuring Character A and/or Character B.

We are not familiar with every fandom, so we will be taking guidance from you as to how your fandoms work in terms of fandom tags, etc. Please watch this space for queries!

The counterargument is that many of the individual franchises have little or nothing to do with each other, and so it makes sense that ships between those franchises make sense as crossovers. Or they could do what Unusual Bearings did, and had an Avengers fandom in addition to Black Panther, Thor, etc. That's why I'd like to hear from the mods on the topic.

I do think that since individual characters/relationships are being requested, having a gazillion subfandoms would be frustrating if you also want to request or offer non-MCU fandoms. (If fandoms were split, to cover all the ships and characters I want I'd have to request Agent Carter, Avengers, Black Panther, Captain America, Jessica Jones, and Thor, with one or two relationships in each fandom. I don't mind splitting up TV shows from movies (and even splitting by TV shows), but splitting up each and every subfranchise seems unnecessarily nitpicky because there's so much overlap in the MCU.

But yeah, I'm waiting on the mods to weigh in before I nominate.
