Star Wars Rare Pairs Exchange

I have a couple of nominations that are in need of clarification. For crossover nominations, I request that for the non-Star Wars character you include the fandom with the degree of specificity you desire in parenthesis. Please respond via email to spookykingdomstarlight@gmail.com or comment on this post by 9/17 6PM PST.

Anakin Skywalker/Buffy Summers - do you want Buffy from the TV show or movie? If no response by above mentioned date and time, I will presume the TV show and approve this nomination into the collection as Anakin Skywalker/Buffy Summers (BtVS TV).

Anakin Skywalker/Daenerys Targaryen - do you want Daenerys from the TV show or the book? If no response by above mentioned date and time, I will presume TV show and approve this nomination into the collection as Anakin Skywalker/Daenerys Targaryen (Game of Thrones).

Lando Calrissian/Stormtrooper - please confirm whether this is an original character nomination or if this is referring to one of the stormtroopers that appear in the movies. If no response by above mentioned date and time, I will presume it is an OC and approve this nomination into the collection as Lando Calrissian/Original Stormtrooper.

Nebula (Marvel)/Rey - please clarify which Marvel property is intended. If no response by above mentioned date and time, I will presume MCU and approve this nomination into the collection as Rey/Nebula (MCU).

Padmé Amidala/Daenerys Targaryen - do you want Daenerys from the TV show or the book? If no response by above mentioned date and time, I will presume TV show and approve this nomination into the collection as Padmé Amidala/Daenerys Targaryen (Game of Thrones).

Hey everyone! I have a few nominations that need some clarification or more specificity.

Carol Danvers/Amilyn Holdo // Carol Danvers/Amilyn Holdo/Leia Organa // Carol Danvers/Leia Organa - which fandom is Carol Danvers a part of? MCU? Comics? A specific alternate Earth timeline in the comics? A game?

Original Character(s)/Original Character(s) - please specify further, original/original is too broad a category. For example, Original Female Scoundrel/Original Female Droid or Original Senator from Naboo/Original Cantina Barkeep.

Thank you to everyone who made this year even bigger and better than last year. To see the tagset in all its glory, go here. I'll be spending this evening and the rest of this weekend making sure everything is good. If you notice anything amiss, please feel free to let me know in a comment here, a private DW PM to spookykingdomstarlight, or via the swrarepairs tumblr.

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.
