Nominations Open!

[souljelly]

Nominations are open! They will run from 19th July until 27th July at 11:59PM BST.

- Tag set can be found here. Please review the rules before nominating:

- Participants can nominate up to 10 fandoms with up to 10 relationships and up to 10 freeforms.

- Please disambiguate by placing the canonical fandom name, where possible, in parenthesis after the pairing, like s!Harry Potter/s!Ron Weasley (HP - JKR).

- Nominations should include a s! to indicate who is being swapped, i.e. s!Harry Potter/s!Ron Weasley. Both platonic & romantic ships are welcome, and original characters are allowed.

- We define character as “personality” rather than “body” for all ships. For example, in the case of s!Harry Potter & s!Hermione Granger/Ron Weasley, Hermione/Ron indicates Hermione-in-Harry’s-body/Ron once swapped and does not include Harry-in-Hermione’s-body/Ron unless specified in the recip’s optional details.

- Group nominations are allowed, but your creator will have the final say on who gets swapped with who if more than two characters are swapped. These should be nominated as s!Harry Potter & s!Ron Weasley & s!Hermione Granger & s!Neville Longbottom or s!Harry Potter & s!Ron Weasley & s!Hermione Granger & Neville Longbottom

- For Original Works, please indicate the gendered preference of your characters in your disambiguation, e.g. s!Lady of the Lake/s!Trickster Spirit (OW F/F). If no preference, (OW Any/Any) is allowed, but optional details cannot then limit which genders the characters can be.

- RPF (over 18 + no non-famous family members) is eligible.

- Creator’s Choice of Fandom is eligible as a fandom.

- Please nominate crossovers under Crossover Fandom with the fandom name in parenthesis after each character, e.g. s!Harry Potter (HP - JKR)/s!Jim Hopper (Stranger Things).

- Object and animal nominations are allowed, e.g. s!Harry Potter & s!Fawkes, s!Dean Winchester & s!Impala.

- “Any” nominations are allowed, e.g. s!Harry Potter/s!Any Character, but you may not specify which character is “Any” in your option details after. This will be up to your creator. You can, however, be specific to a group in your nomination, e.g. s!Harry Potter/s!Any Death Eater.

- Freeform tags should relate directly to either bodyswapping, possession or body sharing.

"...and does not include Harry-in-Hermione’s-body/Ron unless specified in the recip’s optional details"

Does this mean we shouldn't submit any nominations that specify something like this, but should wait until the optional details?

For instance:

s!Harry Potter/Ron Weasley & s!Hermione Granger/Ron Weasley

Also, are original characters allowed within fandoms?

Question - how should we tag relationships for possession and/or bodysharing? Would the person who's just a "personality" be given the s? Should we just s! both characters and leave it up to the writer who's in whose body?

[lamiacalls]

Yes, you're correct, this kind of info should be in your optional details!

[lamiacalls]

Yes, you can nominate original characters! Thank you for your patience, btw, we've been a little behind.

Hello! You can specify this in your optional details and using freeforms. If you have a preference for who gets possessed, you can also nominate as s!A/B, and specify that you want B to be the one possessing A.

Depending on how complicated this all ends up being, we may switch it up next round, but we're sticking to this system for now.

Different anon here, but just to double check - if I want to request a pairing where a demon possesses a person, I'd nominate it as "demon & s!person", with no s! on the demon's name, and use freeforms/optional details. If I want to request a pairing where the demon and the person swap bodies, it'd be "s!demon & s!person". Do I have that right?

[lamiacalls]

Either way works - you can either do "Demon & s!Person", or "s!Demon & s!Person", and, with the latter, you can then specify in optional details and with freeforms that you want it to be possession and who you want to possess who.

I hope that answers the question but let me know if I've been unclear!
