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.

Nominations guidelines can be found here in the FAQ, resources (such as links to the text of various stories) 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 29th) to see if we have questions for you! And then, Feb 5th, SIGN-UPS!

The Griffin and the Minor Canon, which no one on ao3 has written about, can be read here: https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/12067/pg12067-images.html#chapter2 (and fwiw the whole collection is quite enjoyable!) Note that my submission appears to have done something weird with one of the characters, trying to automatically link it to a canonical tag when there aren't any - he's just the Griffin, there's no connection to Tortall.

I’m not picky about translations for the Odyssey – I see you’ve previously linked to this version http://classics.mit.edu/Homer/odyssey.html and that’s fine, but if you’d like a secondary source, here’s an older version in verse https://www.gutenberg.org/files/48895/48895-h/48895-h.htm (I’m also partial to both Emily Wilson and Richmond Lattimore, but as far as I’m aware those aren’t available online.)

I was trying to nominate Cupid/Psyche and wasn’t really sure about the right “fandom” tag to use, so hopefully what I landed on makes sense. And the sources you’ve used in past years for that work!

Emily Wilson's is lovely but unfortunately not available!

Thank you very much for the sources!
