npt_adminNomination Form
Nominations run from April 19th until the 26th. You're able to nominate up to 4 fandoms and for each fandom, up to 6 characters. The fandoms must be medium sized fandoms (unless it's an RPF fandom which means it can also be a potential Yuletide fandom as well). Please only nominate fandoms that you are intending to request or offer.
You must have an AO3 account to use the nomination form. If you need an invitation, please contact us at notprimetime@gmail.com.
You can see the nominations tag set here to see what has been approved.
There are heavy images underneath the cut.
Your mods will be approving or rejecting nominations during Nominations and once a fandom or character has been reviewed, it cannot be changed.
Nominating Fandoms
To nominate a fandom, under Fandom 1 (Fandom 2, etc) type in the fandom name. As much as possible, please allow the autocomplete fill in the name of the fandom. More often than not, because these are medium sized fandoms, it is highly likely that your fandom would have already been uploaded to AO3. If it doesn't come up on the autocomplete, type it in and hit enter.
Make sure you're nominating the right fandom. As in the image above, I could accidentally click on a fandom that wasn't Fairy Tail.
If you've made a mistake or want to switch out this fandom for another, you can click on the X next to the name. The same goes for characters.
Nominating Characters
This works like nominating fandoms. Autocomplete may be able to give you an AO3-canonical version of your character's name if a fic has been uploaded with it before. If it doesn't come up on the autocomplete, type it in and hit enter.
For this example, when I typed in Erza, the autocomplete brought up two characters with that name within the Fairy Tail fandom.
Please remember that only characters nominated in the tag set will be allowed to be requested for Not Prime Time.
Submitting your nominations
Click submit when you're done.
If you want to edit your nominations, look to the upper right where there is an Edit button. You will be able to edit if your nominations haven't been accepted or rejected.
How to tell if a nomination has been accepted or rejected?
If it's accepted, there will be an image of a check mark next to it.
If it's rejected, there will be an image of a X mark next to it.
If it hasn't been looked at yet, it will have an image of ?! mark next to it.
Your submission isn't finalized until everything on it has been reviewed or until nominations end.

Date: 2012-04-19 05:20 pm (UTC)What's the policy on nominating characters that aren't technically canon?
I'm thinking particularly of Darcy Lewis for Avengers (2012), and Christine Chapel and Janice Rand for Star Trek (2009).
Darcy is odd because she's in a vast majority of existing Avengers fanfic, but as far as I know, she's not actually IN the upcoming movie...
Chapel and Rand are hard because they *do* exist in the original Trek universe, so they *could* exist in the Reboot. But they haven't appeared yet, so we don't know one way or the other.
Can characters like this get nominated?
Thanks, darlings <3

Date: 2012-04-20 03:22 pm (UTC)However, we do allow the nomination of group tags (eg Crew Of the Enterprise) and would encourage you to use this sort of tag and then talk about these characters as possibilities in your prompts/letter. (The way matching works this tag would only match exactly, so people offering it would be expected to be offered prompts about the whole group either ensemble or general)
Hope this makes sense. Thank you for bringing the question to our attention.
