& ships
& ships are not eligible for this exchange. Please edit your noms to be the / version of the ships, or replace them with ships you would like the / version of.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
Nominator responsible for the Original Female KX Droid ships, we've rejected your nominations from that fandom and added them to Ships With Original Star Wars Characters with a (Rogue One) specifier.

Ships With Original Star Wars Characters
Original High Republic Era Force Dyad/Original High Republic Era Force Dyad
Nominator, do you want two halves of a dyad shipped with each other, or two dyads shipped with each other in a foursome? If the first, please edit your nom to clarify (e.g. "Original Half of High Republic Era...". If we don't get a response we'll approve it as-is and you'll be able to clarify in optional details.

Star Wars Legends: Jedi Quest Series - Jude Watson
Please edit your fandom to Star Wars: Legends EU. You're welcome to disambiguate your ships by adding (Jedi Quest Series) at the end of the tag. If not edited by close of nominations, these will be rejected.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch (Cartoon)
Various ships with Fives
Does Fives appear in The Bad Batch? If not, please move these to Canon Crossovers. If you're out of nominations slots, please let the mods know and we'll do it for you

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types
CC-1010 | Fox/Sabé
Is Sabé in the Clone Wars movie or series? If not, please move this to Canon Crossovers. If you're out of nominations slots, please let the mods know and we'll do it for you

Nominations are open! Every person may nominate up to 20 ships in up to 10 fandoms. Ships must have fewer than 250 works that are over 1000 words in English on AO3.

Ships with Darth Vader and ships with Anakin Skywalker should be nominated separately. 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 - though you are welcome to specify Kylo or Ben in your nomination.

Please use the fandoms exactly as they appear below - copy & paste is your friend! Mods will reject any other fandoms.

It's very helpful to us if you disambiguate your nominations - that is, put the name or abbreviation of the fandom the ship belongs to in parentheses after the character name, even if you think it's obvious. For instance, nominating Amilyn Holdo/Leia Organa (SWST) under Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. This is necessary if you wish to nominate the same ship in multiple fandoms - Mon Mothma/Leia Organa (OT) under Original Trilogy and Mon Mothma/Leia Organa (Legends) under Star Wars: Legends EU, but merely appreciated in all other cases.

• Canon Crossovers: Is for ships between characters who exist in different canon properties. Please specify which fandom each character belongs to in your nomination. For example, Shmi Skywalker (OT)/Rey (ST). It is also used for ships between characters who share multiple subfandoms where you do not care which subfandom/era is given focus. Nominate those ships with an (Any) disambiguation. For example, Padme Amidala/Mon Mothma (Any).

• Canon/Legends Crossovers: Is for ships between one or more canon characters and one or more Legends characters. If one of those characters exists in both, please specify which version you want. For example, Rey/Jaina Solo or Leia Organa (Legends)/Mon Mothma (OT). If you do not care whether you receive the canon or Legends version of a character, specify those characters with an 'Any' disambiguation. For example, Leia Organa (Any)/Rey.

• Canon EU: Is for ships between characters who exist in the current extended universe. For example, Carise Sindian/Varish Vicly (Canon EU).

• Crossovers (Non-Star Wars): Is for ships between at least one Star Wars character and one or more non-Star Wars characters. For example, Amilyn Holdo (ST)/Klara (Jordskott).

• The Mandalorian (TV): Is for ships between characters in The Mandalorian.

• Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016): Is for ships between characters in Rogue One.

• Ships With Original Star Wars Characters: Is for ships either between a pre-existing Star Wars character and an original Star Wars character (for instance, Leia Organa/Original Female Senator) or between two or more original Star Wars characters (for instance, Original Female X-Wing Pilot/Original Female X-Wing Pilot).

• Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018): Is for ships between characters in Solo

• Star Wars Legends: Knights of the Old Republic (Video Games): Is for ships between characters in KOTOR I & II. If nominating a player character, you may provide the character's gender, for instance, Female Jedi Exile/Kreia.

• Star Wars Legends: The Old Republic (Video Game): Is for ships between characters in SWTOR. If nominating a player character, you may provide gender and class, for instance, Female Sith Inquisitor/Darth Zash (SWTOR) or Lana Beniko/Nonbinary Jedi Consular. Advanced classes, races, and light/dark side alignment belong in your optional details.

• Star Wars Original Trilogy: Is for ships between characters in the Original Trilogy.

• Star Wars Prequel Trilogy: Is for ships between characters in the Prequel Trilogy

• Star Wars Sequel Trilogy: Is for ships between characters in the Sequel Trilogy

• Star Wars: Jedi: Fallen Order (Video Game): Is for ships between characters in Jedi: Fallen Order.

• Star Wars: Legends EU: Is for ships between characters in the Legends universe. For example, Mara Jade/Jaina Solo.

• Star Wars: Rebels: Is for ships between characters in Rebels

• Star Wars: Resistance (Cartoon): Is for ships between characters in Resistance

• Star Wars: The Bad Batch (Cartoon): Is for ships between characters in The Bad Batch

• Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types: Is for ships between characters in TCW.

• Star Wars: Visions (TV): Is for ships between characters in Visions

For characters who exist in both Canon and Legends, please specify which version of the character you want in parentheses while nominating. For instance, Maz Kanata/Leia Organa (Legends) belongs in the Canon/Legends Crossover fandom. Maz Kanata/Leia Organa (Canon) belongs in the Sequel Trilogy fandom. All fandoms must be from this list.

Now, go forth and nom!
