Nominations open!

Welcome to Fandom 5K nominations, 2022 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 Fandom 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.

For complicated franchises, please nominate according to the following guidelines:

• Dragon Age - nominate as "Dragon Age (Video Games)"
• Marvel Cinematic Universe - please only nominate characters who have appeared in the movies into this fandom. We would like your feedback about how you would prefer the film-related TV shows, such as Wandavision and Falcon & the Winter Soldier, to be organized. Please leave a comment if you are interested in those fandoms!
• Marvel Netflix series - these should all be nominated as "Defenders (TV)"
• Star Wars - please nominate in terms of "Star Wars Prequel Trilogy", "Star Wars Original Trilogy", "Star Wars Sequel Trilogy" etc.
• X-Men films - as "X-Men (Alternate Timeline Movies)" and "X-Men (Original Timeline Movies)"
• Arrowverse - use "DC's Arrowverse" for Arrow, Flash, Supergirl, Batwoman, Black Lightning, Legends of Tomorrow and Superman & Lois
• Marvel and DC Comics - as "Marvel (Comics)" and "DC Comics"

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!

I'm glad to see the Marvel Netflix series kept mostly separate (as someone who often requests/offers Iron Fist characters).

While I understand the argument for keeping the MCU all one category, I would personally prefer keeping the TV shows separate for those who are interested in requesting/offering characters/pairings specific to the shows themselves. Especially now that they're using multiple versions of characters, like how the main Loki of Loki isn't the same Loki as in the movies, etc.

Related question but DCEU-flavored: I'd like to nominate Peacemaker, should I do so as the standalone show?

[longficmod]

Sorry I forgot to reply re: Peacemaker--I don't think we've had any cross-nominations, and we have approved the separate nomination for the TV show.

Thanks - once the Marvel shows were deemed separate, I figured the same rule would apply to the DCEU and nominated it as a standalone.
