• Tagset here.
  
• Sign-up form here.
  
• Descriptions of the horror type tags here.
  
• More information about requests, offers, and matching here.

To clarify:

• "Original Work: Solo Human Character | Human Ships" and "Original Work: Solo Nonhuman Character | 1+ Nonhuman Characters in Ships" do count as separate (unique) fandoms. They can be found under Uncategorized Fandoms in the tagset.
  
• Fandom repeats are allowed as long as there are at least 3 unique fandoms requested, and 4 unique fandoms offered.

New for 2021:

• Participants can request "Opt-In" Horror Types in addition to the Horror Type tags that are in the tagset. These Opt-Ins cannot be matched on. However, if named and described in optional details, a creator could choose to create based on the Opt-In instead of the tagset Horror Type.
• For example, if somebody opted-in to XYZ Horror by saying so and briefly described their interpretation of XYZ Horror (citing sources such as TV Tropes is welcome), then their assigned creator could create for XYZ Horror instead of the tagset Horror Type they matched on. My hope is that this can allow transparent flexibility to accommodate niches that may not be adequately represented by the more general Horror Types in the tagset.

Nominations are now open, through May 16 8:30 pm EDT.

General Information

• To nominate, edit nominations, or check if your nominations have been approved, please sign into your AO3 account, go to the tagset, and click on the appropriate choice in the top right corner of the screen.
  
• You may nominate items for the tagset even if you are not completely sure whether you want to include them in your own sign-up.
  
• Any nomination queries will be posted to Dreamwidth for feedback from the community. Please check the comm.
  
• Nomination limits are 10 Fandoms and 20 Relationships (per Fandom).
  
• When nominating, lone or single characters must be nominated under “Relationships” by using the format "Solo: [Character Name]".
  
• For this challenge, "/" will indicate romantic and/or sexual relationships, while "&" will indicate platonic relationships.
  
• Please disambiguate all fandoms by using the format "Character or Ship (Fandom)". Some fandom-specific disambiguations below.
  • For example, Itachi alone can be nominated as "Solo: Uchiha Itachi (Naruto)".
    
  • Please use your best judgement with respect to piping for your fandom. If "Character Identity A | Character Identity B" is the canonical tag but identities A and B are vastly different, you may prefer to use only one name/identity when nominating that character. By default, I will accept tags with or without piping as they are nominated. If anybody has a concern or spots any potential duplicates as a result, please do let me know by commenting on this post or one of the future nomination clarification posts. Thank you!

Community Discussion

• At the moment, there are no plans on my end to change either the medium matching or the 15 horror type tags from last year's tagset. However, please still feel welcome to discuss or provide feedback about Horror Type tags here. New ideas or suggestions may be considered if there is sufficient agreement from the community.
  
• This year, I am considering letting participants request "Opt-In" Horror Types in addition to the Horror Type tags that are in the tagset. These Opt-Ins could not be matched on. However, if named and described in optional details, a creator could choose to create based on the Opt-In instead of the tagset Horror Type. For example, if somebody opted-in to XYZ Horror by saying so and briefly describing their interpretation of XYZ Horror, then their assigned creator could create for XYZ Horror instead of the tagset Horror Type they matched on. My hope is that this would allow flexibility to accommodate niches that may not be adequately represented by the more general Horror Types in the tagset. Any thoughts on this, please feel welcome to share by commenting at the Community Discussion post. Thank you!
  
• No changes to Horror Type Tags will be made once nominations have closed.

Treats can also be submitted to the collection at any time.

Please be sure to actually publish/post the assignment to the collection by the deadline! (That is, AO3 Drafts will not be accepted.)

A brief summary of the requirements can be found here.

There is now a countdown until the deadline: COUNTDOWN!

If you have already gotten in touch with me about an extension, that deadline will take priority over the above.
