Nominations

[pumpkinkingmod]

Nominations are now open!

 

Some fandoms have specific guidelines.  Check them out here.  For fandoms that are split up I did not list every single possible subcategory for every one of those fandoms. 

 

You can nominate six fandoms with six characters each.

 

You may nominate generic original characters such as Original Male Elf, Original Sailor Senshi, Original Tag Wrangler, etc.  We will not be accepting specific original characters.

 

Do not use any fan nicknames when nominating characters.  Describe the character instead. 

 

We will not be accepting group or relationship nominations. If there is a character that is a special case in that they could sort of count as one individual or many then leave a comment to explain it to me.

 

The category of Original Works is allowed.  Crossover Fandoms is not.  All crossovers should be limited to your optional details.

 

If you participated in EveryWoman and want to know if canon helpers will be used in this exchange the answer is: no.  As long as Trick or Treat matches on just characters I won’t be using canon helpers here.

 

There are three rules for RPF:

1. For contemporary RPF the individuals must be over the age of 18.

2. Non-famous friends and family are not eligible

3. The person in question can be removed from the tagset at the request of the individual

 

I will be prioritizing fandoms that are easy for me to accept.  If you want to get your nominations accepted faster then here is how to help:

1.      Check the fandom guidelines to see if your fandom should be done a specific way.

2.       Disambiguate your characters.  It makes it less likely for me to make mistakes and is faster.  Disambiguating never hurts.

3.       Make sure you are spelling the character’s name correctly, especially if the character’s name is spelt differently in different canons. 

4.       Link me info!  If you want to link me to something like the fandom wiki page for each character then that is great!  TVtropes character list page?  That could work.  IMDB? Wikipedia?  If I don’t know a fandom I have to look it up and this will speed things up especially for small fandoms, Transformers, Tolkien, and comics.

Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold is a series of science fiction novels. There's a fan wiki for the site.

The characters I nominated were:
- Aral Vorkosigan

- Aral Vorkosigan's First Wife (the AO3 canonical for her)
Annoyingly, the canon does not ever give the lady a name. We know that she was a Vor from the Vorruyter family. The article on Aral Vorkosigan sums up what we know of her from the first book, Shards of Honor (also found as part of the omnibus Cordelia's Honor, which is how it's in print today):

When he was twenty, he was married to a woman two years younger of the Vorrutyer family. The marriage was arranged by his father, and the bride was the sister of his friend and fellow lieutenant Ges Vorrutyer. Vorkosigan was often away from home, and his wife took two lovers. When informed about her lovers by his friend Ges, Vorkosigan challenged both of them to duels to avenge his honor.[6]

Vorkosigan killed them both, but it was assumed that they had killed each other and he escaped penalty. Shortly afterward his wife apparently committed suicide with a plasma arc, though it was rumored at the time that he had killed her for infidelity.

- Ges Vorrutyer

- Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan

- Oliver Jole
