Nominations open!

[koraki]

Hello! Nominations are now officially open for Multifandom Doodle 2022... Round 2!

The schedule for this round has shifted slightly so that the nominations close date, signups close date, and assignment due date now fall on Mondays instead of Sundays. There will be no change to reveals dates (December 25 for works and January 1 for creators).

There have been no rule changes since 2022 Round 1 but please review the nominations & eligibility rules below before nominating.

Eligibility

• All fandoms, characters, and ships are eligible for this exchange.
• Original Work, Creator's Choice of Fandom, and RPF are eligible for this exchange.
  • Mods reserve the right to reject Original Work and RPF nominations deemed to be in bad taste (e.g. Nazi RPF). 
• All participants must be the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction. 

How to Nominate

• Each participant can nominate up to 10 fandoms, with up to 20 characters/ships in each fandom. 
• Relationships between two or more characters are still nominated as individual "characters." To nominate a relationship, nominate them by putting "group: " before their names, in the following format:
  • group: Character A/Character B or group: Character A & Character B or group: Character A/Character B & Character C, etc.
• Romantic and/or sexual relationships are denoted by the / sign between the characters' names, and platonic and/or familial relationships are denoted by the & sign between the characters' names.
• You may nominate settings and/or objects as individual "characters" or as part of relationships (e.g. "Place: Howl's Castle", "group: Fawkes & the Room of Requirement", "group: Dean Winchester/The Impala"). 
  
  • Please nominate individual places/settings with "Place:" or "Setting:" in front of them, to disambiguate them from freeforms (e.g. "Place: Howl's Castle", "Setting: the Hundred-Acre Wood").
• You may nominate "Any"/"Creator's Choice" characters and ships using the format: "Creator's Choice of [x]". For example, "Creator's Choice of Dumbledore's Outfits", "Creator's Choice of Pokemon", "As Many Mythological Creatures As Creator Can Think Of", etc. If you nominate using the format "Any [X]" your nomination may be rejected. 
• Please nominate crossover relationships under the fandom "Crossover Fandom." When nominating them, please use the format "group: Character A (Fandom 1)/Character B (Fandom 2)."
• Please nominate original characters and relationships under the fandom "Original Work." Descriptive character names are recommended. "Mermaid/Pirate" is pretty vague, while "Curvy Blue-haired Tattoo Artist Mermaid/Roguish Tattooed Butch Pirate" gives a better idea of what visuals and dynamics someone might be looking to request or draw. 
  • If you have a gender preference for an original ship (e.g. you want "Elf Paladin/Orc Druid" but only if they're both female), you must nominate the ship with genders included in the names (e.g. "Female Elf Paladin/Female Orc Druid"). You won't be allowed to use likes or DNWs to enforce a gender preference for an original ship where the nominated tag is gender neutral. 
  • This exchange was originally designed for the benefit of artists in fandom. It is not an appropriate place to request free art commissions of OC(s) from unpublished media. If you have OCs in mind that are so specific they cannot be described within the character limit of an AO3 tag, this exchange is not the place to request art of those characters. Please review the art commission tags on your social media of choice to find artists who are open to commissions.

meme nominations

Yay!

I nominated some memes, all of which can be found in their original form on https://knowyourmeme.com/. I thought it might be useful to mention.

Hello!

You've approved my nominations (thank you!) but I think I managed to mess up one of my character nominations:

under Original Work, there is both

✔ A Winged Calico Cat
✔ Winged Calico Cat (OW)

I'm guessing it should just be one of these character tags and the extra should be deleted? I'm so sorry for the trouble!

Would it be all right to nominate something along the lines of “Object: Ms. Frizzle’s hair”? Thank you!

[koraki]

Hi, absolutely!

[reflectedeve]

Found a couple of typos (one of which was mine; apologies):

Under Original Works:
Place: an Ordinary-Looking Interior Door That Opens On A Very Incogruous Room or Landscape
-->that should be "Incongruous"

Under Scholomance - Naomi Novik:
Group: Galadriel "El" Higgins/Orion Lale
-->should be Orion Lake

Thank you so much for running this again! I'm so excited!

[koraki]

Fixed, thank you!
