NOMINATIONS: OPEN

[crantz]

NOMINATIONS! ARE! OPEN!

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 30th) to see if we have questions for you! And then, Feb 6th, SIGN-UPS!

This year I'm nominating Sheath and Knife because I'm living dangerously.

This is the source page on it:

https://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/eng/child/ch016.htm

It includes variations. Right now as I write this I'm very tired and have no preference on the specific version used (i.e. 16A or 16B etc.) Basically I just assume this means this is child ballad 16.

I did a bit of an approximation in terms of characters--I looked at the archive and found 2 fics for this, one of which used OMC/OFC format and one listed no characters. Apologies if this leads to any confusion, I just went with brother, sister, father. I am happy to change it. It seems it hasn't been nominated in a previous year.

That source works fine, as does your nomination! Thank you for sourcing it!
