Remaining Pinch Hits

With the holidays coming up, another delay would likely be longer to accommodate potential pinch hitter scheduling, so I wanted to do one last pinch hit round-up before delaying again.

These pinch hits will be due on December 20 at 10:00 PM UTC. Please email me at modmultiplicity at gmail dot com if you want to claim one, or comment here (comments will be screened); make sure to include both the pinch hit you want to claim and your AO3 name. If you can take a pinch hit but think you might need a little more time, please let me know.

nominations

Nominations Are Open!

The 2026 tagset is now open for nominations!

Nominations will be be open until 11:59 PM EST on December 27.

You can nominate up to 10 fandoms, with a maximum of 10 relationships per fandom. (Some megafandoms and franchise fandoms may have special guidelines: check the clarifications here.) If you have any questions about your noms, feel free to ask here.

Make sure that you are using & for platonic relationships and / for romantic/sexual relationships.

If you're nominating relationships where the characters have very common names or exist in multiple versions of the same canon, please disambiguate your nominations by putting the fandom name or an abbreviation for it in parentheses at the end of the tag. This will stop tags from wandering into multiple subfandoms.

Whenever possible, try to avoid piping unless it's necessary to clarify the characters' identities.

Approvals will be a little slow at times, so please don't worry if your nominations are held up for a while.

Additional nomination guidelines are available here.

Nominations Opening Soon!

The pinned post at the top of the journal now shows the schedule for 2025/2026!

The nomination window will be a little longer this year because approvals will be slower on some days, so nominations will open December 17, 12:01 AM EST.
