Recursive Exchange

Due to the complexity of nominations, we will be nominating via a google form, and clarifications will happen via email rather than announcement on the comm. If you can't use google forms, please email us at recursiveexchange@protonmail.com and we'll sort through your nominations via email.

(Nominating directly to the tagset won't be allowed because we need lots of information and it's better if we collect it all at once. The google form saves us from data entry and you from struggling to correctly format your own tags.)

If you have any questions about nominations, please ask! We will answer comments on this post & by email.

Information required to nominate:

• Your email — If you don't want us contacting you for nominations clarification or if you're commenting signed-in, you can leave this blank.
• Fanwork title — what is the fanwork called? For series you can use the series name. If the fanwork is untitled, a brief description or summary is fine, keeping in mind the tag we create will need to be 100 characters or less.
• Fanwork creator — What username was the fanwork posted under?
• Parent series abbreviation — This is only needed if you're nominating a specific fic inside a larger fic series. It should be as short as possible.
• Fanwork medium — Is it fic? Art? Vid? Gifset?
• Fanwork link — Where can the fanwork be found?
• Parent fandom — What fandom was the fanwork created for? Please try to use AO3 canonicals. Crossovers should be given in the format Fandom A/Fandom B, although they'll go under "Crossover Fandom" in the tagset.
• Fanwork permission link — We need a link to a place where the creator has publicly said they're okay with further transformation of their work, preferably on the same site the work is posted on or on an account the creator has linked. (The permission link will not be included in any public tagset information, it is only used for verification.)
• Main ship/characters — You will be matching on if you want fic about the main ship/characters or side characters, and also this will help people know if they're interested in the work. If you provide just a pairing, we will assume the characters in the pairing are the main characters. If you are nominating original works, please provide the pairing category at the beginning of the tag, and then the descriptive version of the ship tag. A properly formatted OW ship would look like "(F/F) Ghost/Nun" or "(Gen) Ghost & Nun"
• Additional information — Any other information you think mods need about this nomination. On the google form information put in this category is only visible to the mods.
