NOMINATIONS: CLOSED

[crantz]

NOMINATIONS! ARE! CLOSED! Sign ups soon!

Tagset is HERE!

Your nominations create the set of stories that can be offered and requested when signing up. The tagset is user-chosen and changes from year to year. You don't need to nominate to sign up, but you do need to nominate to ensure that what you want is in the tag set.

You can nominate up to 4 fandoms and up to 4 characters each.

Guidelines can be found here in the FAQ, resources can be found here, and of course feel free to ask the mods anything at: onceupon@fandom.exchange

Please be specific when nominating - narrow your tale down by author or origin. You can also comment on the post here to clarify which version you mean, and give us links, especially if you think we may have difficulty finding the source.

Nominate! Check back before the end of nominations (Feb 2nd) to see if we have questions for you! And then, Feb 9th, SIGN-UPS!

Hello! For nominating a mythical creature, how does the character nomination work? Like "Selkie original character"?

Could Carmilla from Le Fanu be nominated? I think it's public domain, but I'm not 100% sure it fits the theme of the event.

Would I be able to nominate Swan Lake (Tschaikovsky) as a fandom? It feels a little borderline to me so I wanted to check! And you mentioned pointing at selkies, I wouldn't know how to nominate selkies! They mostly exist in my brain as foggy folklore as opposed to linked to a specific story.

I've only seen this fairy tale (Contest of the Fairies) on the internet and never had any source beyond that it's French, so hopefully this link will suffice for anyone who's interested.

Hiya! I would like to nominate the legend of the Hurlers, a stone circle in Cornwall. There are brief accounts of the story in several places on the internet, e.g. here, here and in this book, and there's a (modern) song about them, but I can't find a definitive 'full' retelling anywhere. What would be the best way to nominate this?
