WARNING: Do NOT submit nominations here. Post for coordination ONLY.


This post is where people declare what they have nominated, or ask other people to nominate for them. So if you do comment and/or add your nominations to the spreadsheet, that's great, because it helps other people decide what to nominate, but it WILL NOT result in your fandoms or characters being in the tagset. The only place to nominate is the Yuletide tagset. Use the comments on this post and the coordination Google spreadsheet to coordinate nominations with others.

  • For information about nominating fandoms and characters, what is eligible for nomination, and other important links and announcements, refer to [community profile] yuletide_admin.

  • Nominations run Monday 15th to Friday 26th September. Nominations will be approved after that time.

  • Before tags are approved (after September 26th), you can only see your own nominations.

  • You can nominate up to 5 fandoms and up to 4 characters in each fandom.

Please copy and paste the following information to comment on this post. Every item is optional except fandom.

  • A nomination is something you plan to nominate. A request is something you're hoping someone else will nominate for you, because you ran out of slots.

  • View and edit the google sheet here: Yuletide 2025 Nomination Coordination Station.

  • If you can add your information to the spreadsheet yourself, please do! That would really help. PLEASE DO NOT SORT THE SHEET. If you want to view the list by nominated fandoms, use the autogenerated "sort by fandom" tabs.

  • During the nomination period, the spreadsheet will get re-sorted by username daily at (approx) 6PM GMT, to keep the data tidier.


Help Wanted


If you have a few minutes and enjoy a bit of data entry, please volunteer to update the spreadsheet with information the comments in this post! If you do, add the data from the comment to the spreadsheet and reply to the original comment with Added to spreadsheet.

Why should I nominate?
To create the pool of fandoms available for this year’s Yuletide. More at AO3.

What can I nominate?
Up to 5 rare fandoms and 4 characters you want to request or offer. See what’s eligible here.

When can I nominate?
From now until 26 September, at 9pm UTC. Please check the date and time in your own timezone! Until then, you can also edit your nominations.

Where can I nominate?
Tag set.

Who can nominate?
People with AO3 accounts who intend to take part in Yuletide. You may use only one account for nominations. If you don’t have an AO3 account, add yourself immediately to the invite queue or email the mods.

How do I nominate?
First, check what's eligible. Then go to the tag set on AO3, and make sure you're logged in. Click "Nominate" at top right, enter your fandom and character choices, and click Submit at the bottom. Check the results on the page to make sure you entered them correctly. You don't have to submit all your choices at once - you can change your mind and add or edit your nominations until nominations close.

If you need to explain or argue for your fandom, please make a case for it on the Evidence Post as well as nominating on AO3.

Do I have to use fandom tags that exist on AO3?
Please do, unless:
  • There is no tag for your fandom (it's totally okay to nominate something with no fic!). Make one up, following this guide.

  • The tag that exists on the Archive describes a larger fandom with many parts and your fandom is one distinct part or subset. In this case, instead of using the tag that exists already, please use a tag that describes your specific subfandom.

  • The tag that exists on the Archive has the words 'All Media Types' or '& Related Fandoms' in it. Please don't use a label that includes those words without arguing for it on the Evidence Post
  • .

Please label fandoms according to the Archive's wrangling style. If you’re not sure how to label your fandom, please ask.

When will I see what was nominated?
Not for a while, sorry! You can share what you've nominated and coordinate with other participants at [community profile] yuletide. Moderators will approve tags starting approximately 28 September, and will release the tagset in early October. We will post questions about nominations between now and sign-ups, so please keep an eye on this community.

The Additional Tags at the bottom of the tag set are a new feature from 2023. Here is a post explaining how they work and some background (1, 2).

Disambiguation
When a character name could appear in more than one fandom, or is common, or short, please put information in brackets after the name to show where it belongs. For example:
-Bonnie Parker (Bonnie and Clyde 1967)
-Robin Hood (Prince of Thieves)
-Tulku (The Shadow 1994)
-Leonardo da Vinci (Da Vinci's Demons)

Disambiguation will also solve your problems if you receive the error message: “This character was rejected because it was nominated in another fandom.” If that happens, add more information to the name and resubmit.

Worldbuilding "character"
In most fandoms, you may nominate worldbulding as a character tag, in the format Worldbuilding (Your Fandom Name). However, mods will not accept "worldbuilding" nominations for RPF fandoms or where it is nominated without explanation for a purely mundane canon - there should be a clear fictional element to worldbuild around. See 2021's discussion post about worldbuilding; you may also find recent requests helpful to see how people have used this option.

Other character tips
If you submit a character that is new or rarely used on AO3, a suggestion from AO3 may appear in bold and in brackets next to your nomination after it has been submitted. This is okay, and does not mean that your nomination will be automatically changed. However, if you don't have any disambiguation information in brackets after the name, you may want to add it, because there may be another character with that name. Even if your character has two names, such as “Harrison Chase” or “Elizabeth Burke”, that name may appear in multiple unrelated fandoms.

RPF and Anthropomorphic fandoms must be nominated with characters. Other fandoms will be approved without characters if none are nominated.

Superhero and similar names may belong to more than one character. For example, Batman’s Robin could mean Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, or Stephanie Brown, among others. Please make sure it’s clear which one you mean - in cases where it’s ambiguous, please use their “wallet” name.

We don’t accept group nominations if the group contains named, distinct characters (for example, under Chalion Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold, we wouldn’t accept The Five Gods as a character). However, we will allow distinct groups that do not contain individual, named characters. If it may be difficult for us to determine whether this applies to your nomination, please comment in the Evidence post.

Check your nominations!
After submitting, check that your nominations have gone through: click away from the tag set, click back, and, if still logged into the same account, you should be able to see "My Nominations" at top right. Check the spelling and formatting! You can edit your nominations until the nominations period ends.

Enjoy!

PS: as pre-approved nominations can only be seen by mods, consider discussing your nominations with other participants on [community profile] yuletide or at the Discord. In particular, please see this year's RPF discussion post.

Pinch Hitter Requests

Instructions for Filling PHer Requests

Pinch hitters work hard to help us with our exchange, and this event wouldn't be possible without them. As such, we ask pinch hitters who are interested in receiving treats to post below outlining what they'd like to receive, and ask participants to consider treating them!

Pinch hitter treats should follow all FIAB assignment/treat requirements. Post using the instructions under "Posting Anything Without An AO3 Assignment" on the Posting Guidelines.

Instructions for Pinch Hitters

Requirements for requesting:

  • You have picked up a pinch hit, including receiving a swapsignment without signing up.
  • You are not signed up to the exchange under any username.
  • You would like the chance to get treats!

If the above all fit you, then this is where you make requests as a pinch hitter so that treaters can see them!

Guidelines:

You should post your requests as a reply to this post. If you want to split your fandom requests into separate comments, please reply to yourself after your first post.

Since the mods will be checking works to confirm they fill requests, there are some guidelines to help us out!

  • Each request should include the following:
Fandom:
Relationship/Character/Worldbuilding Tags:
Medium/Length Opt-Ins:
Details: (DNWs should be labeled clearly as "DNW" or "Do Not Want".)
Letter link: (Optional.)
  • Medium and Length Opt-Ins must be in the tagset and must be requested using the exact wording of the tag.
  • Please don't remove or significantly change the tag part of requests after you post them, unless adding additional requests/tags.
  • If linking to more than one letter (or any other link that contains multiple subposts/links), you must still list any requested fandoms/tags in your comment to this post so that mods can easily verify gifts fill your request. This doesn't apply to the auto-app as long as it's clear and easy to verify what you're requesting.

Initial Pinch Hits PH 1-38

Pinch hits are participants who are without creators; pinch hitting is the practice of volunteering to make a gift for a pinch hit. These pinch hits are all due on October 19 at 10:00 PM EDT.

Fic In A Box has a very unusual set of assignment requirements: everyone is owed (and is asking for) 10k of fanfiction, which by default can be given as one 10k+ fic or several 1k+ fics. Participants have also had the option to opt-in to other minimum lengths or to other formats of fanwork. The other fanwork mediums are given word count equivalents, which you can view on the medium ruleset post.

Additionally:

  • Fic In A Box creators may default after partially filling their assignment—say, if they discover that they can only write 9k of fic—and PHs can be picked up in 1k increments!
  • You may always swap all or part of your assignment for a PH, just let us know that's what you're doing when you post to claim the PH.
  • In the future we'll include details in the post, but for this post we're linking to the app for that to keep the post size down!

In order to pick up a pinch hit you need to either email us or comment on this post (comments are screened) with:

  • The amount of wordcount you would like to claim (even if you're going to do fanart or some other non-fic opt-in medium! If you aren't sure what the equivalent would be, we'd be happy to help you convert it!)
  • The exact username of the AO3 account you will be posting your fill(s) from (if you post from a different account from the one you give us, we won't be able to count the PH as filled unless you update us!)
  • An email where we can reach you (you might not be getting the AO3 assignment when you pick up a PH, so we need to know where to send the assignment!)

Your swapsignments have been sent out via email! If you're signed up, the email has gone to the email associated with your AO3 account. If you're not signed up, it's gone to the email you provided when you volunteered to be a secret swapper. If you signed up for swaps and did not receive an email, please contact us so that we can get that information to you. Both people who successfully swapped and people who we couldn't swap got emails, so everyone who tried to swap should have an email.

If you requested swaps despite not being signed up, keep your eyes peeled for the pinch hitter request post. Your secret swaps count as pinch hits, so we'd love to see you make some requests. That post should go up tomorrow or the day after, and will be pinned just below the rules post on the comm.

We would also like to thank those of you who signed up to receive extra wordcount. Some of you simply held extra words while we shuffled swaps around, others of you will receive more than 10k in assignments when your swaps email arrives, and in all cases swaps wouldn't have been successful without you!

Here's what you let us do:

  • 1,299,000 words were swapped! (1,200,000 last year!)
  • there were 2406 potential swaps (where one swap is a request from one of you create for someone!) (Last year: 1802)
  • 621 swaps were made between 260 participants (Last year: 557 swaps; 216 participants)
  • 2 participants wanted to swap, but unfortunately couldn't; these participants will be prioritized to the best of our ability next year if they sign up for swaps again (Last year: 5)
  • We now have 957 combined assignments and swaps out, most of them waiting to be filled! (Last year: 837)
  • This year we timed the swapping process for the first time! It took about 22 hours and 45 minutes across four days. This only includes time spent on figuring out the majority of the swapping, so it excludes the time it took to set the swapping sheet up, do quality control checks on the swapsignments once we thought the swapping puzzle was finished, and send 260 emails.

Finally, thank you very much to everyone for your patience. Please refer to this part of the rules for an in-depth refresher on assignment minimums and expectations, but the short of it is: 10k of complete fic (or equivalent opt-in) is due on October 19 at 10:00 EDT. Email us immediately if you have any problems with or questions about your assignment(s).


Initial Pinch Hits:

Initial Pinch Hits will probably go up tomorrow-ish. Mentally schedule it for ~24 hours after your swaps email, to give us time to get all these swaps into the mod sheet and verify all of the pinch hit amounts.

Sign-ups are closed. After running matching, I have reached out to two people who may not have a recipient (K, P). Please check your emails if that may be you; unfortunately I will need to delete your sign-ups if I don't hear back.

I am now running checks to see:

-that everyone who signed up has some kind of positive inspiration for their creator in the sign-up box
-that no one has "see my letter for DNWs" because DNWs need to be in the sign-up box to be enforced
-that everyone asked for four different fandoms [aka the if fandom appeared in the tag set as its own label, then it counts as one even if it may be related to another fandom also in the tag set].

Where there are problems with the above things, I will reach out to you and you will have approximately a day to fix this. If you notice a problem in your own sign-up, please email me at mod.modzilla@gmail.com - it will save us all time. Thanks!


I am also checking to see if there are any people signed up who have past FFFX gifts they have not commented on. In that case I will remove your sign-up, but if you comment in future, you're welcome to sign up for a future round.


If you see a late request for which you'd like to add an offer, please feel free to contact me, or to discuss any similar tweaks to your sign-up.
