Fandom Nominations

2024-08-16 12:18[personal profile] grundyscribbling
grundyscribbling: white stars on a light blue background (stars)

We had two new to us fandoms nominated.

We are thrilled to discover them, but unfortunately, we cannot include them in this round of IS. We do not add new fandoms midway or more through the nominations period. We will be happy to add Eärendilova Plavba (Eärendil's Voyage musical) and Horn of Gondor (fan film) to the next round of IS, and hope that whoever nominated them will be willing to write up promo posts so we can get the word out about these fandoms prior to nominations.

This also goes for other fandoms not currently in IS - we do not object to adding fandoms, but we prefer to add them before nominations open. And we will not add new fandoms more than 5 days into nominations - it's not only unfair to anyone who gets their nominations in early, it means people who are not already familiar with the fandom won't have adequate time to look into it before sign-ups. (Remember nominations are only how we form the tagset - people still need to offer/request things!)

Could the person who nominated Group: Andvari (LSG) and Thorin (Hobbit) please re-submit the tag making clear if that's Hobbit book or Hobbit movies?

Nominations

grundyscribbling: detail of Finwe and Miriel from Jenny Dolfen's Cuivienen (tolkien - JD Finwe and Miriel)
Could the person who nominated a number of characters and groups under "Lord of the Rings - All Media Types" please re-do their nominations, this time submitting the characters or groups under fandoms listed in the rules & guidelines?

Also, we highly recommend that everyone check the tags already nominated before submitting their nominations! (We're checking the nominations regularly, so it's unlikely there are a large number of tags awaiting approval that you can't see.) There have been quite a few duplicates today. You're basically wasting one of your nominations if the character, group, or worldbuilding tag you want to nominate is already in the tag set.

Nominations Are Open!

Time to go forth and nominate your under-appreciated faves! The tag set awaits you!

Please read the following instructions/FAQs to ensure that your nominations go through quickly. I will be approving them as fast as I can, and this will make it faster and easier.

What 'fandoms' are eligible to nominate characters in?

The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-earth - JRR Tolkien
The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien
The Hobbit - JRR Tolkien
Smith of Wootton Major - JRR Tolkien
Leaf by Niggle - JRR Tolkien
Farmer Giles of Ham - JRR Tolkien
The Hobbit (Jackson Movies)
Lord of the Rings (Movies)
Shadow of Mordor - Video Game
The Lord of the Rings Online

Please do not nominate anything under All Media Types.

Can we nominate the same character under different 'fandoms' - i.e., can Aragorn be nominated under both 'The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien' and 'Lord of the Rings (Movies)'?

Yes. We want to keep the books and movies separate for this exchange, so if you would be happy to see Aragorn, for instance, in fic or art involving either book canon or movie canon, please nominate him (separately) under both. You would nominate him like this to differentiate:

For book-based fandoms: Aragorn (Tolkien)
For movie-based fandoms: Aragorn (Jackson)
For Shadow of Mordor: Aragorn (SoM)
For Lord of the Rings Online: Aragorn (LOTRO)

AO3 will not let you nominate the same character under two different fandoms if you have not differentiated them.

How do I nominate?

Go to the Tag Set and click on My Nominations. Fill in the first 'fandom' you want from the list above - it will auto-complete after a moment. Add up to 10 characters you want to request and/or offer in that 'fandom'. You may nominate in up to 5 'fandoms'. If you are nominating a character who appears in multiple canons, do so by adding (Tolkien) for a book canon, (Jackson) for a movie canon, (SoM) for Shadow of Mordor, and (LOTRO) for Lord of the Rings Online. See the tag set for examples of ones that have already been added.

Can I nominate relationships or pairings?

No, only characters. When you sign up, you will be able to select what category or categories of fic or art you would like - m/m, f/f, f/m, gen, other, or multi. This should mean you will receive the kind of fic or art you'd prefer to offer or request.

If you have any questions about how this will work, please ask!
