Nomination Clarification Post #3

[modball]

Thank you to everyone who has nominated so far! We are seeking clarification on the following nominations.

**Please respond to this post by the official sign-up open: March 30, 9 PM CST (UTC-6) (Timezone Conversion)** or the following nominations will be rejected.


Fandom-specific Freeforms

Freeforms in this exchange are intended to function as the inciting incident where creators begin their fic, eventually leading to the story's "Happily Ever After."

Additionally, we ask that fandom-specific Freeforms still be generic to the fandom itself, meaning we will not approve fandom-specific Freeforms that apply only to specific characters. If you have unapproved fandom-specific Freeforms, please update accordingly.


Potentially Unclear/Vague Freeforms

Freeforms in this exchange are intended to function as the inciting incident where creators begin their fic, eventually leading to the story's "Happily Ever After."

Nominators, please clarify in what way the following Freeforms act as a singular inciting incident:

• Alternate Universe - Arranged Marriage - Characters Fall In Love During Engagement

Relationship Nomination Reminders

• Please ensure that all Relationship nominations are submitted disambiguated by Fandom, e.g. "Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes (MCU)" (if your nominations are rejected for incorrect formatting, and you are out of nomination slots, you may email us a list of your nominations in the correct format).
• All Relationships must be submitted as “/” nominations, indicating romantic and/or sexual relationships between characters.
