SUDDENLY, LOOMING OUT OF THE MISTS: Yuletide Nominations for 2010! In one last hurrah for the old website, 2010 nominations will be run through the familiar nominations form. However, we will not be needing reports of duplicate or other errors/issues at this time, nor do you need to make fandom names conform to the old Yuletide forms, although you will want to make it clear which fandom you're nominating, if it's likely to be confused with a similar name in another format/year/country of origin.
Once nominations are closed, the AO3 tag wranglers will be let loose on the list to work their magic, and signups will take place on the AO3.
To nominate fandoms for Yuletide 2010, please go to
the nomination form! Also please read very carefully. If you're an old Yuletide hand, this should all be familiar.
FOR ONE WEEK ONLY! Nominations will remain open through 8:59 pm US Eastern time on Wednesday, October 20th.
Only fandoms nominated now will be available for choosing during the sign-up process. You can nominate up to six fandoms, either by selecting from the pull-down menu, or entering a new fandom name in a free text box on a separate line.
The form will let you know if a fandom you submit has already been ruled non-obscure. Please do NOT email us asking about specific fandoms that come up as ineligible.
If you hit submit on the character-submission page and the form complains that you've deleted characters from that fandom, it means that someone else added characters for one of your fandoms while you were making your choices. This is easily solvable with a refresh and re-entering any changes.
If you make a mistake or want to change your mind about the fandoms you choose, all you have to do is fill out the nomination form again, using exactly the same name and email.
