Last day of nominations!

Nominations close at 11:59PM EST - a little less than seven hours from time of posting. Get any last-minute nominations in!

We'll begin cleaning up the tagset after this. Feel free to comment here (anon is on) with any errors you've noticed in the already approved tag. Or, you can join the Discord Server and put any comments in the tagset-cleanup channel.

Our discord also has nominations-swaps section if you've run out of space but have more delicious rarepairs you'd like to share, or if you're willing to use your unused spots to facilitate someone's else's dreams.

Nominations are Open!

Time to nominate the elusive, the background, and the underloved, and give those pairs, triads, and moresomes some love!

Read this first! - make sure you understand our nominations guidelines.

Relationships must have fewer than 250 fics, in English, that are marked complete on Ao3

Relationships must be nominated in the fandoms already in the tagset (described in the nomination guidelines above - C/P is your friend)

Please use clone names, not their numbers.

And once you've done the reading, give us your ships here: https://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/17104.

Any questions about noms? You can ask them on the Dreamwidth, join our discord, or message us here.

Also, the collection is open for works to be added. Moderation is on, so works won't show up right away, but very early treats or gifts to the collection (gifts based on a rare ship in the tagset but not gifted to a particular person) are welcome!

A huge thanks to all that participated - you make the exchange what it is. If you'd like to browse the collection works can be found here.

This wraps up the exchange for this year! I can't thank everyone enough for the time and effort they put into it.
