Evidence Post 2021

[koraki]

As much as we would like to, the mods do not know every single robotic canon out there. We trust that participants are nominating characters in good faith, but we'll still do a quick search on characters we're unfamiliar with to make sure the tags going through are correct. If you think that's a recipe for confusion (say you nominated a character who is identified by the internet-available canon synopsis as a human scientist, but you meant the final incarnation of the character whose mind fused with her spaceship's AI over the course of the story), drop a comment here to let the mods know in advance!

Nominations Open 2021

[koraki]

The 2021 tagset is here and open early!

If you think the mods will have a hard time determining whether any of your nominated characters/ships are eligible for this exchange, please leave us a comment here on the evidence post at the time that you submit your nominations!

We will probably have some questions about nominations, or need nominations to be corrected if they're in the wrong format. Please keep an eye on this journal for clarification posts throughout the nominations period.

Reminders from the rules:

Nominations is the process of electing characters/ships that can be requested and offered in this exchange. You cannot request or offer characters/ships that haven't been nominated. Nominations open on April 11 10 :), and close on April 18 at 11:59 PM UTC. This may be earlier than midnight in your timezone.


> Each participant can nominate up to 10 fandoms, with up to 20 characters/ships in each fandom.

> To simplify things for the mods, relationships between two or more characters are still nominated as individual "characters." To nominate a relationship, nominate them by putting "group: " before their names, in the following format:

group: Character A/Character B

or

group: Character A & Character B

or

group: Character A/Character B & Character C

etc.

> There are two types of relationships you can nominate: Romantic relationships are indicated by a / sign between the characters' names. The / indicates that you want the relationship between the characters to be romantic and/or sexual. Platonic relationships are indicated by an & sign between the characters' names. The & indicates that you want the relationship between the characters to be friendship or familial.

> Please nominate crossover relationships under the fandom "Crossover Fandom." When nominating them, please use the format "group: Character A (Fandom 1)/Character B (Fandom 2)."

> Please nominate original characters and relationships under the fandom "Original Work." Using descriptive character names is a good idea. "Female Android" and "Robot Dog" are pretty vague, while "Female Android Assassin" and "Robot Seeing Eye Dog" give a better idea of what potential requesters/offerers would want out of those characters. If you have a gender preference for an original ship (e.g. you want "Navigation AI/Spaceship Pilot," but only if they're both female), the onus is on you to nominate the ship with genders included in the names (e.g. nominate "Female Navigation AI/Female Spaceship Pilot"). The mods will not honor a DNW for a specific gender combination when requesting a gender-neutral ship.

> For simplicity's sake, please nominate all real-life robots and AIs under the fandom "Technology RPF."
