Just under 3 days to sign up!

In the meantime, I've been approving new fandom and character nominations. You may want to check the fandoms you're requesting or offering to see if something new and interesting has been added to the tag set. I'm also including a list of the newly-approved fandoms at the bottom of this post, in case that helps anyone find additional requests or offers.

I do have one clarification!

We already have the books as a specific fandom in the tag set. Nominator, please specify whether you're interested in the books or the movies.

Signups are open here! Go forth and request fanworks! They will close on 11 April.

As you do, please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the rules and the FAQ. Please let us know if they need any clarification. You can comment here or shoot us an email if you have any questions.

As an important reminder, Fandom5K does not allow the use of generative AI for the creation of text or images.

In the meantime, there's still some tagset cleanup in progress--please double-check all your tags, and see if I have questions about your nominations here.

I have cleared all existing nominations and reopened the tagset. You may nominate an additional 3 fandoms with 4 relationships for each fandom, but I'd ask that you please only do so for tags that you are planning to offer or request.

Please note that this year I am allowing you to repeat fandoms in multiple requests and offers, but you must still have at least 3 unique fandoms in your requests and 4 unique offers. AO3 doesn't support those exact requirements, so it's up to you to make sure you have enough unique fandoms. I'll be checking regularly and getting in touch with anyone who needs to add fandoms, but at the point that signups close, you'll have a limited time to fix the problem, so please make sure you only submit your signup once it meets the minimum!

There are more details at the FAQ, but here are the basics:

Here is the list of Additional Tags available for genres.

Here is the full tag set. You can also view tags and signup information on the app.

We have about 24 hours to go until nominations close temporarily! They will reopen during signups. Please note that I plan to clear all nominations at that time, so if you want to keep track of what you submitted, please save a copy of your nominations page.

Below are some questions and clarifications about nominated fandoms and relationships. Please also use this post to let me know if anything in the tagset looks incorrect.

*******

All Media Types:

I'm generally happy to approve this type of fandom if the various adaptations or spinoffs are in continuity with one another. However, there are cases where adaptations are different enough that it could lead to disappointment if a creator familiar with one version gets matched to recipient interested in another. To the best of my knowledge, that applies to the following fandoms--if you're the nominator, please pick a version or explain why this doesn't apply:

• Howl's Moving Castle - All Media Types
• Interview with the Vampire (all media types)
• The Lord of the Rings - All Media Types
• Teen Titans - All Media Types
• Twilight Series - All Media Types

Angel: the Series
Was Buffybot a character on this show, or is Buffybot/Gwen Raiden a crossover nom?


Doctor Who & Related Fandoms
I've approved other nominations under Doctor Who (1963), Doctor Who (2005), and Torchwood.


Original Work:
I'm happy to approve original characters on a pretty broad spectrum of specificity, but these nominations seem too general to me. It might help to have a look at the approved tags under Original Work and see some examples. If you need some help, please comment, and we can workshop these nominations a bit.

• Any Father Figure & Any Child Figure
• Any Female Character & Any Female Character
• Any Female Character & Any Male Character
• Any Male Character & Any Male Character
• Sibling & sibling

Political RPF - US 19th c. and Political RPF - US 20th c.
While I don't have preexisting rules around RPF nominations, I've given some consideration to these slates and decided I don't feel prepared to handle the implied subject matter as a solo moderator, so I won't be approving them.

This may be inconsistent with my decision to approve the Political RPF - US 21st c. ships, but those feel different to me for satirical purposes. Also, anything that would make Martha-Ann Alito wave her Vergogna flag seems like a net positive.


Ready or Not (Movies) and Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026)
I'd like to combine these nominations; any concerns?


Star Trek: The Original Series (Movies)
We do have Star Trek: The Original Series (TV) already in the tagset. I don't think I've ever seen the original films nominated separately--can the nominator please comment so we can discuss what you're looking for?


True Detective (TV 2014):
Danvers/Navarro has been approved separately under True Detective: Night Country (2024).

I'm nearly caught up with everything else! Thanks for your patience, please let me know if there are corrections, and I'll check in again soon.
