Nomination Questions & Genre Tags

[longficmod]

Nominations are open for a little under a week more! They will close at 11:59 PM EDT on Thursday, 22 March. What time is that for me?

Tag Set Clarifications

There are over 300 fandoms already in the tag set. If tags are misspelled, associated to the wrong fandom, somehow ambiguous, or otherwise incorrect, please let us know!

We have a specific questions below the cut. If you're the nominator for these fandoms, please provide a link to your nomination form.

Genre Tags

Fandom 5K does not match on specific tropes, but we do use genre tags to do the following things:

• Try to prioritize matching between participants whose tastes are broadly compatible
• Provide some additional detail for authors who match to a request without prompts or a letter

With that in mind, we want to keep the genre tags at a high level and make them as simple as possible. Please let us know if they need any clarification!

So far, the only thing that has changed from last year is that we changed AU - SciFi/Fantasy Elements to SciFi/Fantasy. This can be used if you're interested in (for example) Harry Potter fic with an emphasis on magic, or Yuuri!!! on Ice aboard a spaceship, or an original work about the first lesbian president of an alchemist's society.

We've also been asked to add a Horror tag and are still considering that change. We agree not all Darkfic is Horror, but Horror fic could probably all be categorized as Darkfic. Can you suggest a way to rename these so Horror isn't a subset of Darkfic?

For reference, these are the current genre tags:
