Tagset nominations are open! The tagset is here. You may nominate up to 10 fandoms, 10 relationships in each fandom, and 20 freeforms.

Guidelines:

For all nominations: Please include a disambiguation in your ship tags. This means adding the fandom name or an abbreviation of it to the end of the tag, e.g., "Haruno Sakura/Yamanaka Ino (Naruto)" -- this helps keep AO3's system from mis-assigning the tag to additional fandoms.

Please do not use AO3's "All Media Types" or "& Related Fandoms" tags as a general rule; nominate a specific media type (e.g., "Dragon Age (Comics)") or just the title you're interested in. If your fandom actually makes more sense using this tag format, please drop us a comment here and let us know what your fandom's situation is.

Piping: AO3 does this to include multiple names for a lot of characters, e.g., "Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian." If it's still clear who you mean without the piping/multiple names, feel free to leave them out! They can make tags hard to read and can make multi-person ships hard to fit in the character limit.

This exchange is for sexual content, so only / ships will be approved. You may nominate single characters with the prefix Solo:, eg., "Solo: Selphie Tilmitt (FF8)," if you want art or fic of a character enjoying themself alone. Conversely, you may include as many participants in a ship as you can fit in one tag.

You may nominate ships in the form of Canon Character/Original Character or Canon Character/Any, but please note that you cannot require that someone matching to you interpret them in a specific way: for example, if you nominate "Jean-Luc Picard/OMC (ST:TNG)," you cannot require a creator to make that character a Romulan with a tragic backstory; if you nominate a crossover of "Melanie King (Magnus Archives)/Any Female Character," you cannot limit which fandoms the other character may come from. You may suggest directions! But your creator is not bound by them.

Original Work should be nominated under one of four categories: F/F, F/M, M/M, Other+Multi. If a ship contains several characters who all share the same gender (e.g., New Initiate Nun/Her Convent Sisters), nominate it under the relevant single-gender category. If a ship contains character(s) who don't have binary gender, or 3+ people of varying genders, nominate it under Other+Multi.

Freeforms: All freeforms should in some way be related to sex and all sex should be consensual. For example, "Rain" is not focused enough, but "Sex Outside in the Rain" is fine; "Trading Sex for Freedom" is too coercive for this challenge, but "Roleplay: Trading Sex for Freedom" is fine. Freeforms that do not meet this standard will be either queried or merged/deleted.

Specific Fandom Notes:

For Star Wars: Please nominate under Star Wars Current Canon for things currently part of the canon universe or Star Wars Legends Canon for things retconned out.

For Marvel and DC:

Movies: please nominate under MCU or DCEU respectively.

Comics: please nominate under Marvel 616 or DCU respectively if you are requesting anything in the main continuity. If you want to request an alternate continuity, please nominate it with the most appropriate name for that continuity; your mods would appreciate a heads up so we can keep track.

TV: please nominate under Marvel TV "Defenders TV (Marvel TV)" or DC's Arrowverse respectively. We realize this may flatten some distinctions and that where these titles fall can be messy. These rules are simplified to make it easier to manage the tagset.

Mass Effect: Please nominate Mass Effect Trilogy and Mass Effect Andromeda separately.
Dragon Age: Please nominate by media: Dragon Age (Video Games), Dragon Age (Comics), etc.

Final Fantasy VII: Please nominate under the "Compilation of Final Fantasy VII" tag for the original continuity and under the "Final Fantasy VII Remake (Video Game 2020)" tag for the new one.
