Some fandoms need evidence to be approved. Comment on this post (or at DW) if the fandom you’ve nominated:
- has too many stories to be eligible, but only because of crossposting between ff.net and AO3, OR because a tiny pool of authors has written most of it, OR because a significant majority are unrelated but tagged as crossovers, OR because a significant majority tagged as 'English' aren't.
- appears on either ff.net or AO3 as part of a larger “umbrella” fandom, but you can clearly show that the fics for your fandom are under the limit.
- is a fanwork.
- does not yet exist on AO3 and is hard to google (very common name, few sources in English, etc).
- includes the words “All Media Types” or “and Related Fandoms” and you believe you need to use that label.
- is closely related to another fandom, especially if the other fandom is ineligible.
- Use of original characters
- Fic quality
- Ambiguous endings in stories that are marked 'complete'
- Crossposting, crossover, wrong language, or not-many-authors evidence for fandoms that appear to have 1100+ eligible works across AO3 and ff.net. If you believe your fandom should be an exception, talk to the mods directly before commenting with evidence.
You must submit evidence before nominations close, at 9am UTC on October 11 (Friday). This may be late Thursday night or early Friday morning for you.
