Apologies for the delay, circumstances occurred.
NOMINATIONS:
How many nominations do we get?
You get:
4 tale nominations
0-4 character nominations per tale.
What is eligible?
Please be as specific as you can. 'Cinderella - Charles Perrault' versus 'Perrault's stories', ‘Gawain and the Green Knight’ versus 'Arthurian Mythology.'
If your story doesn't have an AO3 canonical name, choose something descriptive (Medusa and Athena (Greek Myth) for example) and go with that. If you can refer to the source (ie, author, larger titled work) that is very helpful. If you're stuck, consult a mod for help. You may find the names of your nominations changed to more specific versions. Please contact us immediately if we've chosen wrongly.
You may want to nominate an individual story or episode from a very long work. In that case “Descriptive name of story (Longer Title of Work)” may be a good format. Discuss it with us!
The sources should be legally and freely available online. If your fairy-tale comes from a country, language, or culture whose literature isn't well-represented freely online, please contact the mods and we will see what we can do.
Participants! Please be prepared to include links to your preferred version of a tale. There's a huge difference between, say, Perrault's version of Cinderella and the Brothers Grimm. As well, huge works like Ovid's Metamorphoses and 1001 Nights are acceptable to nominate in parts!
There will be links provided for each story nominated!

Haha, yeah. I figured the google translate would be hit or miss. I had to change my message a few times because I could see it using translations that weren't what I intended but I don't know Portuguese well enough to catch all them.

Agradecida por tudo e desculpe-me qualquer coisa...
