smut4smut | 2023 Welcome & Nominations Open

Welcome back for another year of smutty fun! Nominations are open now until February 10 at 8 p.m. EST! (Fandoms & Ships Tag Set | Kink Tag Set)

We have a few changes for 2023:

1. Nominations Time: Please note the nominations period is only a week this year -- this is to accommodate mod schedules. So, get your tags in ASAP!

2. Art Requirements: We have updated the rules to specify that AI-generated art cannot be used to fill art assignments.

3. No Extensions: We will not be granting extensions this year. Please plan accordingly when posting your assignments.

Additionally: If you notice any kink tags that are re-wordings of the same exact concept, we'd appreciate a heads-up! You can comment on this or any nominations clarification post.

Fandom & Ships/Characters Tag Set: https://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/14155

You can nominate up to 8 fandoms with up to 10 relationships each.
Solo characters can be nominated in the relationships field with the format “Solo: Character Name.”
Please avoid diatrics and piping in names. (YES: Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji; NO: Lán Zhàn | Lán Wàngjī/Wèi Yīng | Wèi Wúxiàn) (If AO3 automatically saves it with diacritics, don’t worry about it though.)
If there is an official English-language localization that differs from the original names, please use the localization names (YES: Ash Ketchum/Gary Oak; NO: Ash Ketchum | Satoshi/Gary Oak | Okido Shigeru )
Disambiguating your ships/characters (Example: “Jinx/Silco (Arcane)” instead of just “Jinx/Silco”) is optional - mods will add or change disambiguations if we need to. If nominating with disambigs in an already-approved fandom, please check your disambigs are in the same format to avoid duplicate tags. (Example: if “Jinx/Silco (Arcane)” is approved, don’t nominate “Caitlyn/Jinx (Arcane Netflix Cartoon)”)
RPF nominations must be for famous people 18 years old or older. Non-famous relatives or associates of famous people are not allowed.
Nominate crossovers under Crossover Fandom, with the tag format “Character A (Fandom A)/Character B (Fandom B).”
Original works nominations should be split by relationship category. Nominate under "Original F/F", "Original F/M", "Original M/M", and "Original Other or Solo".
Tags with "&" will not be accepted.

Kink Tag Set: https://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/9985

You can nominate up to 3 new kink tags.
Kink tags should be kinks, sex acts, or otherwise clearly sex-related. These are not intended as general freeforms - general AUs and scenarios should go in your optional details.
Please no fandom-specific kink tags, with exceptions for clearly sexual AU/fusion tags that can be used by a broad range of fandoms.

Notes on original works:
Same-gender groups should go under F/F or M/M.
Mixed-gender groups (for example, F/M/M, F+/M) should go under F/M.

If the genders in your tag are ambiguous, try to include the ship configuration at the end of the tag -- (M/M), (F/F), (F/F/M), etc. This will help us put tags in the correct place if they wander!

Notes on franchises:
Please avoid nominating fandoms as “All Media Types.”

Nominate closely-linked canons of the same media type under the umbrella name -- for example, Marvel Cinematic Universe instead of individual movies, and Star Wars Cinematic Universe instead of separating the prequel and sequel movies.

- All main Arrowverse shows go under "DC's Arrowverse"
- Final Fantasy VII Remake goes under "Compilation of Final Fantasy VII"
- Star Wars movies go under "Star Wars Cinematic Universe" (non-movie canons can be nominated separately)
- Full Metal Alchemist - please specify whether you mean Brotherhood & manga or the first anime.
- Marvel movies and the Disney+ shows go under "Marvel Cinematic Universe"
- Netflix Marvel shows go under "The Defenders (Marvel TV)"
- Buffy and Angel the Series go under "Buffyverse"
- Nominate Modao Zushi and The Untamed separately
- Game of Thrones and Song of Ice and Fire - Please nominate these separately
- The Witcher - Please nominate the novels, TV show, and games separately
- Dragon Age - Please nominate under Dragon Age - All Media Types. This is an exception to our usual AMT policy.
