dreamingofsunshine | [Dreaming of Sunshine Exchange] Nomination Guidelines

Please read this post carefully BEFORE nominating.

Instructions

Everyone can nominate 12 characters each. You can only match on tags that have been nominated and accepted into the tagset, so nominate anything you want to receive or offer.

To nominate:

You read the Nomination Guidelines (this post!) and make sure you understand them — don't be afraid to ask me questions if you don't!
You go to the tagset and make sure you're logged in to your AO3 account.
You click the nominate button and fill in the nomination page with tags you want to request.
When I have time, I approve them... assuming you filled it out correctly/assuming that I understand your nomination.
If you did it wrong or I'm confused, I'll ask you about it in a nominations clarification post on this Dreamwidth community. You just have to comment on the post or email me to clear things up!

Fandom Eligibility

The main fandom for this exchange is Dreaming of Sunshine. It's in the tagset as Dreaming of Sunshine - Silver Queen and to nominate characters under it, you just have to copy/paste exactly that fandom name into the "Fandom" slot on your nominations sheet.

For this round, no crossovers will be allowed.

Character Eligibility

Participants can only nominate characters who definitely exist in the universe of Dreaming of Sunshine. You may find the minor character list helpful.

Please nominate in FamilyName GivenName order.
Because there are no crossovers in this round, you don't have to add (DoS) after your noms.
...unless it's one of those canonical tags that has "(Naruto)" on the end, then please nominate without or change it to "(DoS)" to avoid confusion

Here are some examples characters and their approval status:

Uchiha Shisui: Approved! Shisui is mentioned in a recent chapter when Sasuke and Shikako are going through paperwork, so he definitely exists.
Zetsu: Not approved; Shikako is pretty sure this weird plant guy exists, but he hasn't shown up or been mentioned by anyone else.
Kakashi Hatake: Not approved; Kakashi definitely exists, but he needs to be nominated as Hatake Kakashi instead.
Deidara: Approved! Although he's not mentioned by name, Shikako's conversation with Onoki in Chapter 139 implies that Shikako definitely knows he exists.

Unnamed characters from Dreaming of Sunshine are obviously eligible if you can concisely describe them in your nominated tag. Eg: Unnamed Foreign ANBU from Lost Child Arc would be approved.

Individual original characters with or without additional descriptors are allowed. Eg: Original Female Character or Original Mist Kunoichi

Groups will not be approved, and neither will "Creator's Choice of..." characters. Be specific and spin the wheel!

Please Keep In Mind....

The tagset system on AO3 is kind of janky, so I can't see who's nominated what and I can't see all unapproved tags at the same time. We'll need to communicate via Dreamwidth if I have questions about your tags, so keep an eye out!

Here's a link to the nominations section of the FAQ. Please reply below with any additional questions. Anonymous commenting is on, so you don't need an account to do so.
