Nominations are open!

[rarepair-mod.livejournal.com]

You can nominate your fandoms/pairings here: http://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/148

When possible please try to use pre-existing tags.

Remember

1. This fest is to celebrate rare pairs in medium to large fandoms. Canon or non-canon pairings are welcome.

2. For the purpose of this fest, a rare pair will be defined as a pairing that has less than 500 COMPLETED works of 1000 words or greater. A medium to large fandom will be defined as one that has more than 1000 COMPLETED works of 1000 words or greater. The works can come from any single archive (AO3, FF.net, fandom specific sites, etc.). Small fandoms are not included because we are not confident of our ability to match them.

3. Pairings can also include threesomes/moresomes.

4. You must have an Archive of Our Own (AO3) account to participate. If you do not have one, please send an email to us at rarepairmod@gmail.com with the email address you would like us to send the invite.

5. Before signups, we will have a nomination period for people to pick fandoms and relationships that they would like included in the fest. Each person can nominate five fandoms and five pairings. Please only nominate fandoms that you plan to offer to write or request to have written for you. Fandoms that only have one pairing nominated by the end of the nomination period will be removed from the tag list to prevent confusion as signups require at least two pairings per fandom.

A note regarding The Avengers movie universe

[rarepair-mod.livejournal.com]

To save our sanity, we have decided that all nominations in The Avengers movie universe will go under the Marvel Avengers Movies Universe fandom tag on AO3. So if you nominate for Captain America, Iron Man 1/2, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, or The Avengers, we will automatically move them.

PS. Marvel Avengers Movies Universe pairings are automatically showing under Avengers (Comics) as well. We're looking into it.
