Marvel is Marvel Gift Exchange

Apologies for the late reveal. I was laid up in bed and overslept the time by a ridiculous amount.

Thank you everyone for your participation and making this exchange fun! If you haven't yet thanked your author, please take some time to read your story and comment.

This is the last time I'll be running Marvel is Marvel. My health did not allow me to be as reliable as I'd wanted this year, and I believe I'll limit myself to modding the much laxer Multifandom Drabble exchange from here on out.

It was a good two years and thank you all! Anyone that ever wants to continue the exchange without me, feel free to do so.

All assignments for this year's Marvel is Marvel exchange are due on Saturday, December 9 at 6:55 AM, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

What time is that in my time zone?

If you have any questions, let us know.

If the dropdown for character or relationships does not show the one you want, you can copy and paste it from the tagset.

Apologies for everyone affected.

 We're doing final review of the tagset. Please do the same, but keep in mind:

• If your nominations are rejected, most likely they are included in the tagset under a different name, especially if we had to go fix some tags drifting into other fandoms.
• If you nominated gen relationships in the format of "character & character", these are being rejected and replaced with any character nominations missing from the tagset. If you would prefer any team ensemble tags or something else, please reply to this post.
• There are many umbrella tags, from as large as all of Marvel Comics to as small as a single run of comics or a single TV show in the greater MCU. Seeing a character or relationship showing up in several of these is to be expected.

We'll continue to review the tagset through tomorrow, so if not everything is reviewed yet, don't fret. We'll get there. :D

Sign ups open Tuesday.

1. General
   1. Character and team nominations are used to make gen requests. The mods will be hand-matching, which means we'll take into account your prompts for character combinations. However, the rules are not set up for gen relationships using &. The relationships field is used to nominate pairings and teams. We are not rejecting & nominations at this time, so you can rework your nominations to suit yourself, but they are cluttering up the queue of nominations we can actually see to approve, so please consider changing your nominations to the system we're using for this exchange.

    

   2. If you nominate a team, please disambiguate which team roster you want. See the Rules and FAQs for more details if you need help.

    

   3. If you see a rejected nomination, this was likely because the character, relationship, or team is already approved in the tagset under a slightly different name or spelling or disambiguation tag.

    

2. 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. Please edit the tag to whichever of those you want.

    

3. Marvel (Comics)
   
   1. 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.

    

Feel free to ask any questions on this post!

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

1. 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.
2. 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?
      
3. 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?

Introduction

 

The Exchange

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

1. 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.
2. 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.
