NOMINATIONS: CLOSED

[crantz]

NOMINATIONS! ARE! CLOSED!

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. Many fairytales have multiple versions and we only allow specific versions so everyone is working from the same variation.

Good: Beauty and the Beast - Joseph Jacobs
Bad: Beauty and the Beast (Fairytales)

We welcome comments on this post to clarify which version you mean. Links are great, especially if you think we may have difficulty finding the source.

Nominate! Check back before the end of nominations (Jan 31st) to see if we have questions for you! And then, Feb 7th, SIGN-UPS!

Important Dates, all times in CST/CDT:


Nomination Period: January 17th, Sunday to January 31st, 11:59 PM Sunday
Sign Ups: February 7th, Sunday to February 17th, 11:59 PM Wednesday

Links for story nominations

Hi! I nominated several tales that haven't been included at AO3 before, so I thought to provide links for them and other sources (warning, character name of Hellawes is used in Takarazuka musical based on King Arthur, so it seems to cause some issues).

#1- While I nominated La Morte'd Arthur, as it's avaiable source and tag, I want specifically to focus on one character and chapter/episode, so here are links for them:
-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellawes_(sorceress)
-https://kingarthur.fandom.com/wiki/Hellawes_(sorceress)
-https://once-upon-fic.dreamwidth.org/44782.html#comments
-https://www.heritagehistory.com/index.phpc=read&author=morris&book=arthur1&story=perilous

#2- ,,The Last Pearl'' by Hans Christian Andersen :
-http://hca.gilead.org.il/last_pea.html

#3- The Brothers Grimm fairytale ,,The devil with Three Golden Hairs'':
-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Devil_with_the_Three_Golden_Hairs
-https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~spok/grimmtmp/022.txt

Thanks a lot for hosting this exchange, and I hope you stay safe and happy in this and following years!

I've used the sources for my nominations that have previously been used, but here are the links if that's easier:

Perseus and Medusa
Cupid and Psyche
The Great Silkie of Sule Skerry

[crantz]

Awesome, thank you! (also not thank you to my email which booted this to spam!?)

I appreciate you giving me the sources, that really does help.

Hey,just wondering: how do I nominate this ballad? It's currently unknown to AO3 and I have no idea how to phrase it???

[crantz]

Let's go with The Mad Merry Pranks of Robin Goodfellow (Broadside Ballad)!

Sources!

The Goose Girl: https://www.pitt.edu/~dash/grimm089.html (Note: this translation has a "young king" and an "old king," and given English Grimm conventions, I nominated "prince" instead of the former. If you'd prefer two kings, feel free to edit my nomination!)

The Princess and the Pea: http://hca.gilead.org.il/princess.html

King Lindorm: https://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/lfb/pi/pifb38.htm (Note: After some debate, I nominated the heroine of the tale as "King Lindorm's Wife," since she holds many titles throughout the story, from just a regular young woman to princess to queen. If you have a more apropos idea, again, I am not married to the names I entered!)

Puddocky: http://www.mythfolklore.net/andrewlang/376.htm (Note: "The Most Beautiful Women in the World" refers to the "carriage-loads" of beautiful women the elder brothers bring home at the end of the tale, who the king orders drowned at the end)

Thank you for the sources! Much appreciated.
