Important announcements for not_primetime

3 more days until nominations end. Here are the instructions to nominate and here is the tag set.

Nominations are now over. Corrections will run until Wednesday, April 18th and sign ups will open on the 19th (probably at 12:01 am, Eastern time).

Do you see duplicate relationships? A character in a relationship tag that doesn't belong in a fandom due to traveling bug? Relationships that were nominated/approved but aren't showing up? Discrepancies on fandoms/relationships that were approved? Something else concerning the tag set? Let me know within the comments below so I can fix it.

*Some fandoms will be in two different categories (TV and Books, as an example). That's a wrangling issue, so you can ignore that.

Today is the last day before nominations close at 11:59 pm, Eastern time on April 15th. The tag set is here and this is the link explaining how to nominate.

There are less than 5 days left before nominations close at 11:59 pm, Eastern time on April 15th. The tag set is here and this is the link explaining how to nominate.

Nomination Form

Nominations run from April 5th until the 15th. You're able to nominate up to 10 fandoms and for each fandom, up to 12 platonic and/or romantic relationships (& or /). The fandoms must be medium sized fandoms (unless it's an RPF fandom or movie fandom which means it can also be a much smaller fandom). Please nominate fandoms that you are intending to request or offer. The eligibility rules are here.

You must have an AO3 account to use the nomination form. If you need an invitation, please contact us at [email protected].

You can see the nomination tag set here to see what has been approved.

Note: Fandoms will be the first things approved. Relationship approvals will be much slower. Approved fandoms and relationships will be visible during nominations. The panel for approving fandoms and tags is finite, so I cannot see everything that people nominate. If you are wondering why Fandom X or Relationship Y is taking forever to be approved, it might be because I cannot see it on the panel due to other fandoms and relationships taking up that space.

Please use AO3 canonical fandom and relationship tags as much as possible. Those are the ones that get approved first and the AO3 canonical names are what we are using. If, as an example, you want to nominate 'El Gato/Sue Johnson' the relationship but AO3 has 'Sue Johnson/Juan "El Gato" Rodriguez' as the canonical, the tag set will use the latter for approving ease.

If anyone nominates a fandom from the megafandom list, it will be flat out rejected. People who accidentally nominate too small fandoms will have a chance to change their nominations until the next clarification post.

When asking for clarifications, if I don't receive information by the next posting, that fandom or relationship will be rejected from the tag set. Please keep an eye out for clarification posts.

There is 1 more day left for Not Prime Time's nominations! If you haven't nominated your fandoms or relationships (platonic or romantic) yet, you still have time.

If your fandom has been approved, but you're still waiting on your relationship tags to be approved, either I can't see it on my panel just yet or I just haven't gotten to it. They will be sorted before corrections are over, if not earlier.

Relationships:
-To those who nominated any Character/Original Character, please change your relationship nomination to something else.

Peggy Carter & Phil Coulson
-Phil Coulson wasn't in Agent Carter (TV) and NPT doesn't do crossovers, so please change your nomination to something else. Agents of SHIELD hasn't been nominated yet, but this relationship tag can be nominated under that fandom if you want to shift it over there.

-Phil Coulson wasn't in Person of Interest (TV) and NPT doesn't do crossovers, so please change your nomination to something else.

X-Men (Movieverse)
Last year the X-Men movies were split and can be split this year into X-Men (Alternate Timeline Movies) and X-Men (Original Timeline Movies). Is that okay or did people who wanted to request in this fandom want both timelines together? Please let me know.

If anyone sees any relationship tags that shouldn't be in a particular fandom (example: crossover pairings or a character that doesn't exist in said fandom), please let me know.
