Nominations open!

[austenmod]

Nominations are now open at the tagset until 1 August at 22:00 UTC (countdown).

Here are some short reminders before you nominate:

• Nominate fandoms using canonicals where possible. Do not use All Media Types or Related Fandoms.
• Nominate relationships as ‘Character A/Character B (Fandom)’ for ship fic and ‘Character A & Character B (Fandom)’ for gen, alphabetised by surname. Groups of three or more characters may be nominated in the same style.
• Nominate individual characters as ‘Solo: Character A (Fandom)’.
• Nominate crossovers under the ‘Crossover Fandom’ umbrella fandom. Disambiguate characters individually [e.g., ‘Edmund Bertram (MP - Austen)/Colonel Brandon (S&S - Austen)’].
• Disambiguate your nominations to make it clear what canon you’re interested in. Think ‘P&P - Austen’ and ‘P&P 1940’ rather than ‘P&P’.

If you’d rather see some examples, I’ve popped a few into the tagset for easy reference. You can read more about nominations and eligibility in the rules post. As always, you’re welcome to leave a comment or email me at austenian@gmx.net with any questions you may have.

Hi hello! I'm so excited for nominations and I have a question.

I want to make a request for a story where Emma Woodhouse – probably against herself – falls in love with a clergyman. The thing is that I don't care if the clergyman in question is an Original Character, an AU version of a character from Emma (e.g. Mr Knightley), a canonical clergyman from another Austen story (e.g. Henry Tilney), or a clergybent character from another Austen story (e.g. clergy!Charles Bingley).

I'm thinking about nominating "Emma Woodhouse/Any Clergyman (Emma - Austen)" under the Emma - Jane Austen fandom, would that work for this?

Hi!

Your suggestion sounds clear, and I’d be happy to approve the tag as worded here. If you’d like to ensure that any potential creator is aware of the full range of possibilities you're open to receiving, it may be helpful to include a note to that effect in your optional details at sign-ups, but that choice is naturally entirely up to you.

Thanks for your thoughtfulness and enthusiasm!
