Nominations 2026

[morbane]

Nominations are open at the tag set.

Please submit up to 12 choices for fandoms to be crossed over.

• New fandoms, and fandoms that already have tags on the Archive of Our Own, are both welcome.


• You can nominated different parts of a universe as separate choices (for example: Guardians of the Galaxy (Movies) and Captain America (Movies)) even if they share a universe and continuity. However, they must already be discrete parts of a storyline, and you will not be able to put them in the same request.


• I will approve nominations that overlap with other nominations. For example, I will approve Marvel Cinematic Universe and I will also approve Captain America (Movies).


• Questions/discussion welcome!

You can edit each nomination choice until it's approved or rejected or until nominations close. You don't have to choose all twelve at once.

Nominations will end on 9 June, 11:59pm EST. I will post questions about nominations as they come up.

Please keep in mind the following for your sign-up, in case it helps you decide what to nominate:

• You have between 3 and 10 requests, and between 1 and 10 offers


• Each request and offer has to have between 2 and 10 fandoms in it


• You need to ask for at least 5 distinct fandoms across your requests.


• You need to ask for at least 5 unique combinations of fandoms across your requests (ie, AxB and AxC are 2 unique combinations)


• If all of your requests are Fandom A x One Other Fandom, I'll ask you to come up with more requests, because I can't guarantee a pinch hitter specifically for your favourite fandom


• If you put two fandoms in the same request, you're interested in seeing them crossed over. Please make sure this makes sense (ie don't put a subfandom and an umbrella fandom in the same request, because they aren't a crossover or fusion)


• You can also specify whether you're interested in fic, art, or both, and fusions, crossovers, or both, using tags


• Crossworks does not match on characters or relationships. You can mention preferences and you can DNW some proportion of characters and relationships but if you only want specific characters to appear, consider another fandom or another exchange.

Previous use of wildcards - Creator's Choice of Fandom, Any Other Fandom I've Requested in Crossworks, etc - seems to have been successful, so I have added those to the tag set again. However, this year I am clarifying that these wildcards do not "stack" - ie, the tag "Creator's Choice of Fandom" will not itself count as a "fandom" for the purposes of the "any other fandom" tag. This will be explained in more detail in the sign-ups post.


If you have questions about sign-ups or nominations or anything else, or want to ask someone to nominate a fandom for you, or want to discuss how to format a fandom - please feel free to leave a comment!
