Nominations
You must have an AO3 account to participate. If you do not have an account, but would still like to participate, please contact a mod.

This exchange is for content directly related to Horror Fandom, that means content the could reasonably be considered to fall under the Horror Genre or that has strong horror elements and themes. This content could be from any media including; movies, books, television shows, comics, video games, web series, and short form media such as art, music, poetry, and advertisements.

Qualification determination of any given media is ultimately the decision of the Mods. If you have a question about whether or not the content you want to nominate qualifies, or you’d like to make a case for something you think might be borderline, please ask a mod. The DW comm is the best place for those questions and discussion.

Crossovers are allowed as long as at least one of the fandoms and one of the characters nominated falls under the above listed criteria and would be eligible for nomination on it’s own.

"World Building" is permitted for nomination as a character tag. Please add disambiguation for each fandom in which you nominate it, i.e. "Worldbuilding (Fandom X)"

RPF is not allowed for this exchange.

When nominating characters with multiple versions across various media, please disambiguate the tags by putting the fandom in parenthesis.

Examples:
Jill Valentine (Resident Evil Games)
Jill Valentine (Resident Evil Movies)
Dracula (Dracula - Bram Stoker)
Dracula (Dracula 1931 Film)

Where reasonable, if you are nominating something that is part of a series, please nominate under the series tag rather than the individual installment of that series.

When nominating a Crossover, please use “Crossover – Fandom” as the Fandom and disambiguate each character set nomination.
Example: Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th) & Rose Tyler (Doctor Who)

You can nominate up to 13 different characters or pairings in up to 13 fandoms. Fandoms may be repeated. If you have an issue with the nominations form not allowing you to repeat a fandom, please contact a mod and we'll get you sorted out.

How to nominate Characters & Groups;
Whether nominating individual characters or groups they should be entered into the "characters" box on the nominations form.

To nominate individual characters, just use the character's name. If your character has multiple versions across fandoms, please disambiguate which version you are nominating.

If you'd like to nominate a group, please use the format;
Group: Character A & Character B (for platonic and other non-romantic/sexual relationships)
Group: Character A/Character B (for romantic or sexual relationships)
Group: Character A/Character B & Character C (for mixed relationships)

Polygroups are welcome. Please enter your group members in alphabetical order by first name to make things a little easier for the mods when weeding out duplicate nominations.

When nominating please use AO3 canonical tags where available. For Characters without a canonical tag, please use the full character name. Please disambiguate characters as needed by adding (Fandom name) at the end of their name.

You may nominate Original Work for inclusion in the tag set.

• Please Nominate it under "Original Work" as the fandom.
• Characters and ships should be nominated the same way as other fandoms.
• Characters or ships that do not sufficiently reflect the horror genre themeing of the exchange may be rejected.
• Worldbuilding nominated under Original Work must also include qualifying information; i.e. "Worldbuilding: The Haunted House on Baker Street"
