Nominations Clarifications Post #2

Marvel Cinematic Universe
1. Natasha Romanov | Black Widow (MCU) and Wanda Maximoff | Scarlet Witch (MCU) - Both Natasha Romanov (MCU) and Wanda Maximoff (MCU) are already in the tagset as approved. Do you want them explicitly with their cape names?
Avengers Academy (Video Game)
1. Claire Temple & Everyone - This should just be Claire Temple or if you want an ensemble, please nominate the ensemble as a team.
Marvel (Comics) - Does the nominator want this to be all timelines and character versions available or did you have a particular timeline in mind? If you nominate the characters under Marvel (Comics), then you would be allowing matches from any run or 'verse of comics, e.g. Ultimates, 616, Noir, etc.

Marvel Is Marvel 2017 Promo Post

The idea here is to organize a gift exchange designed for Marvel and its many branched runs, authors, related and unrelated fandoms. The idea is to include the X-Men side and the Avengers side and every other side that non-Marvel fans don't realize is Marvel. The idea is to include any timeline you want, any world you want, any character you want, so long as it's Marvel.

Nominations Clarifications Post #1

Questions, questions, questions! And a couple of answers:

Agent Carter (TV)
1. Jack Thompson/Original Male Character (AC) - You can request him paired with original characters under Jack Thompson the character, but upon mod consultation, we are not allowing original character nominations at this time.
2. Similarly, gen requests are expected to occur under characters. You don't have to use & pairings, but can incorporate anyone you want with your characters in the prompts. Matching will occur on characters, relationships, and teams. As we are hand matching, that will take prompts into account.
Guardians of the Galaxy (Movies)
1. Groot & Guardians of the Galaxy Team (Guardians of the Galaxy (Movies)) - First question, isn't Groot a member of the team? You can just nominate the team. And second question? Which roster do you want: GOTG, GOTG2, some modified version of the above, or any?
Marvel Comics/Marvel Cinematic Universe
1. Lando Calrissian (Star Wars Comics)/Steve Rogers (MCU) - Star Wars Comics are a Marvel property but they are not part of the Marvel multiverse and probably shouldn't be lumped in under Marvel Comics. You may nominate these under Marvel Cinematic Universe/Star Wars Marvel Comics or one of those two fandoms without the crossover. Which would you prefer?
2. Steve Rogers (MCU)/Steve Rogers (Ultimates Comics)/Tony Stark (MCU) - This should be nominated under Marvel Cinematic Universe/Ultimates Comics or just plain MCU or Ultimates. Which would you prefer?

Nominations Open!

Nominations: Sunday, September 24 - Saturday, October 14

We have a rather long nominations period due to Yuletide Signups happening in the middle. This should allow you two non-Yuletide weekends to nominate your fandoms, characters, relationships, and teams. Anyone can nominate, whether you intend to sign up or not. It is suggested that you only nominate what you want to either offer or request.

Nominations Review: Sunday, October 15 - Monday, October 16

Due to the long nominations period, we expect to review and clarify most nominations while nominations are still open. There will be a few extra days to make sure the mods have enough time to review everything.

Please see the Rules and FAQs for nominating guidelines.

2017 Exchange Rules and FAQs

Introduction

The Exchange

Marvel is Marvel is a fanworks gift exchange of fanfic and/or fanart for:

Any canon produced by Marvel, including those not traditionally thought of as Marvel, e.g. Star Wars comics produced by Marvel. This includes, comics, movies, anime, or even particular runs or books or multiverse timelines.
Any adaptation of a Marvel canon, e.g. movie adaptations of Marvel comics characters, regardless of producer.

The exchange was born from my frustration with the X-Men Movieverse and the Marvel Cinematic Universe being separated, the many obscure comics runs that were often excluded from Yuletide despite their obscurity, and generally wanting an exchange for everything Marvel that allowed everything Marvel.

2017 Updating the Rules and FAQs

A few questions:

Last year, we allowed gen relationships, pairings, or teams in the relationships field. Did this work for everyone? I would like to keep the No Characters/No Relationships method of requests/offers this year as it enabled better automated matching.
Because crossover nominations or umbrella fandom nominating will both be permitted this year, it will be possible to request crossovers between different parts of the multiverse without having multiple fandoms per request. Does anyone want to be able to request multiple fandoms at once?
Do you also want to be able to nominate a crossover character under a different canon than source canon? I'm up for this if the character is a canonical Marvel character from a different timeline.

And a few definite changes:

This year we will allow crossover nominations. You can nominate crossover relationships with disambiguated source fandom in parenthesis, e.g. Clint Barton (616)/Natasha Romanov (MCU) under either character's fandom. You do not have to nominate both canons, but if the second canon ends up nominated by someone else, the crossover pairing may appear under both.
This year I will not require cape names to be specified in nominations but will allow it if a participant wants more specificity. Hunting down participants to fix their noms was painful.

Alternate 2017 Schedule Option

Added a 5-week writing time version: http://marvelismarvel.dreamwidth.org/9229.html

Not sure I like it better, but I found moving it out didn't work well and that's very much as far as I can move it back. Stuck between a move and a Yuletide. Which do potential participants like better?

!mod post

Marvel is Marvel 2017

We are going to run this exchange again in the fall after both mods have finished with some real-life major events.

That said, the rules and schedule will be looked at in the next few weeks to see about what changes should be made and what should stay exactly the same.

Stay tuned for more updates! :D

Requests Spreadsheet

A spreadsheet!

Click here to view or download a spreadsheet of the requests by fandom, recipient, category, and medium. Some requests are marked any for category and/or medium and some are broken out. This is because that is how the request was set up, and I did not correct them all to a consistent standard.

Entry tags:

Assignments are Out!

Please give your recipient through the weekend before asking about their letter being finished, as that was the original projected date for assignments going out.

I'm putting together a requests spreadsheet that will be easily sortable by fandom, category, and medium.
