Marvel is Marvel Gift Exchange

Introduction

The idea here is to organize a gift exchange designed for Marvel and it's 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.

Rules

Nominations

Nominating Fandoms

Marvel canon is rich and varied and overlaps in the parts that we actual want to read about, a side effect of long runs, comics events and crossovers, and the many adaptations and timelines in the multiverse.

Nominating a TV Series/Cartoon:

Please disambiguate TV shows, anime, and cartoons, e.g. Wolverine (Anime), Avengers Assemble (TV), Guardians of the Galaxy (TV), Black Panther (TV), Wolverine: Origin (Marvel Knights) etc.

For direct to video titles, please disambiguate with year, e.g. Planet Hulk (2010).

Nominating a Book:

You may nominate a collection/omnibus or a series of collections/omnibuses. If the collection contains a specific run, then the moderator may change the fandom tag to the standard run title and series number.

Nominating a Comics Run:

If a run shares a name with another run, then please disambiguate, e.g. X-Force (2nd Series). If you don't know the series number, you may use publication year(s) or author/artist. Uncanny X-Men has a helpful and very large listing of Marvel comics by run.

If there is a subtitle, please include it, e.g. Spider-Man Noir: Eyes without a Face.

Nominating Overlapping Fandoms:

Fandom nominations are allowed to overlap. A timeline will frequently contain several runs or movies, etc.

You may nominate a crossover event, e.g. Messiah Complex, Age of Apocalypse, Age of Ultron, etc.

COMICS

Marvel Noir (Earth-90214) contains several runs. You may nominate the entire timeline or a particular run.You may nominate all related runs within a timeline.

Acceptable nominations include:

• Marvel Noir

MOVIES

Marvel (Movies) is the canonical fandom tag containing Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-199999) and X-Men (Movieverse) (Earth-10005 | Earth-TRN414), as well as the various TV properties.

Note: X-Men (Movies) refers specifically to the original trilogy and does not include Days of Future Past, First Class, Wolverine, etc.

You may nominate any of these umbrella fandoms, a specific series of movies, or a specific movie or show. You may also nominate any closely related subfandoms within a timeline.

Acceptable nominations include:

• Marvel Cinematic Universe

TIMELINE

If a timeline number is perfectly synonymous within a canonical fandom tag, e.g. Marvel 90214 is synonymous with Marvel Noir, the moderator will standardize to the canonical fandom tag. If a timeline is not perfectly synonymous, e.g. X-Men (Movieverse) contains both Earth-10005 (before Days of Future Past) and Earth-TRN414 (after Days of Future Past), then a timeline by Earth number is an acceptable nomination.
