Entry tags:

Nominations are open!

It is Friday, the 15th somewhere on this Earth and someone—and by someone, I mean me—is excited to get this thing going. And so I am happy to say:

Nominations are now open!

And once you're done there, check out the nominations spreadsheet here.

A few reminders:

- This year, the rarity requirement is 250 or fewer completed works of over 1000 words in English.
- You may nominate 20 relationships.
- All corners of Star Wars are welcome! Saga, Disney EU, Legends EU, all of it. Crossovers of every stripe are also welcome. As long as at least one character in the ship is from some Star Wars property or other, you're good.
- Please nominate all ships under Star Wars - All Media Types fandom. Last year, I created an organized list separated by trilogy, flavor of EU, and whether it was a crossover. I'll be doing the same this year, though it will be on a viewable spreadsheet rather than on the comm proper. You can find the link to it above.
- Like last year, Ben Solo will not be considered a separate entity from Kylo Ren for the purpose of this exchange. Therefore, I will be judging whether a Kylo/Ben ship is eligible based on the umbrella of the Ben Solo | Kylo Ren tag. However, as with last year, Darth Vader will be treated as a separate entity from Anakin Skywalker.
- Selfcest ships and moresomes are allowed. In the case of selfcest moresomes, though, the ship minus the duplicated character(s) must be eligible, too.
- For more in-depth discussion of the above, see the nomination guidelines post from last year. It goes into more details on the above reminders. You can find it here.

I can't wait to see what everyone comes up for the tagset this year! Nominations will not close before 5PM PST on September 22. Sign ups will then begin no later than 12PM PST on September 24 barring an emergency.

Hey, this is just a suggestion for next round, but perhaps you could set the number of nominations allowed to 1 fandom, 20 relationships each? That way, when nominating, people don't have to repeat "Star Wars - All Media Types" for every relationship tag.

Thank you for running this exchange!
