Nominations Open

Hi and welcome to the 2020 round of Het Swap! I'm old and tired, so I'm opening up the tagset a few hours early. Nominations will close at 11:59 PM on July 15th (MST). Here's a countdown. 

Please read through these guidelines before nominating!

You are allowed 8 fandoms, with 10 relationships in each. Tags are relationship based!

• All relationships must be het. 
• For the purposes of this exchange, het relationships are defined as a relationship between a partner who is male or genderqueer/non-binary, and a partner who is female/genderqueer non-binary. Both cannot be genderqueer non-binary. So for example: Ace is canonically male, Bee is canonically female, and Cam and Dex are both genderqueer/non-binary. The only pairing that would not be allowed in that situation would be Cam/Dex.
• Poly ships are allowed. Relationship must be romantic sexual - the "/" cannot be combined with "&" (i.e., you can nominate Ace/Bee/Cam but not Ace/Bee & Cam.)
• The het requirement in poly ships still applies - as long as there is at least one "angle" of the ship that qualifies under the definition listed above, it will be allowed.
• Genderswap is not allowed unless you are nominating an aspect of canon where the character has always been another gender (such as the Earth-3490 verse in Marvel, where Tony Stark has always been canonically female.)
• Pairings nominated with the "&" sign will not be allowed.
• Crossover relationships are allowed; please nominate under Crossover Fandom and include the fandom each character is from.
• Original Work relationships are allowed; please nominate under Original Work and include the genders of each character.
• Original characters are allowed in relationships with canon characters. Please include gender, i.e. Poe Dameron/Female Original Character, or James Kirk/Genderqueer Original Character, etc.
• Self-insert "reader" characters and RPF is also allowed. All nominated "characters" in RPF ships must be over 18 and famous in their own right.

 

A few specific fandom guidelines:

• MCU: Please nominate under "Marvel Cinematic Universe." The Defenders-related shows may be nominated under "The Defenders (TV)". If you wish to make a case for a certain show/film to be separated out, I'm open to it. 
• X-Men movies: please nominate "X-Men (Movieverse)". If you wish to specify a timeline, please do so with parentheses, i.e. "Rogue (OT)/Hank (XMFC)".
• Star Trek shows, as well as Star Wars movie trilogies, should be nominated separately. If you want to nominate a pairing with characters from different canons, please do so under Crossover Fandom.
• The CW's DC-related shows should go under "DC's Arrowverse".
• Comics: use your best judgment. If there are any thorny issues we can work them out in the tagset cleanup process.

If it's a common phenomenon (fanon?) among folks in the fandom then I'm alright with nominating Byleth as non-binary. The argument could be made that it's sort of canon anyway, with the gender of the character being fluid depending on who's playing it. So I think it's still in the spirit of the exchange!
