Nomination Guidelines

[hurtcomfortexmod]

Nomination limits per account are up to
10 Fandoms
10 Pairings per fandom
20 Freeforms

Franchises such as Star Wars and Marvel will be split into their respective subcategories. If you have a fandom you believe would be better served by the All Media Type category please contact us with your reasoning.

Pairing nominations will indicate which characters are hurt.

Character A/Character B (hurt Character A) or Character A/Character B (hurt Character B)
Character A & Character B (hurt Character A) or Character A & Character B (hurt Character B)
Character A/Character B (both hurt)
Character A & Character B (both hurt)

For OT3+ instead of "both hurt" please use "all hurt" for all the characters hurt.
Character A/Character B/Character C (all hurt)

For example for romantic fic with Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi where Obi-Wan is injured/sick/etc. the tag nomination would look like - "Obi-Wan Kenobi/Darth Vader (hurt Obi-Wan)"

"Hurt" is used to cover physical injury, illness, emotional distress, or other situational need for comfort covered by the freeforms and/or optional details.

Please keep in mind that the / is for romantic works and the & is for gen works.

Crossover pairings should go under Crossover Fandom. Please indicate which fandom each character is from as well as the hurt character. For example "Leia Organa (SW)/Valkyrie (MCU) (hurt Leia)"

Original Works are allowed.

Nominations of Character &/Group are allowed, but when signing up any member(s) of the group will be considered to be fulfilling the exchange requirements.
For example, a request for Peter Parker & The Avengers (hurt Peter) can include any/all Avengers at the creator's discretion.

RPF is allowed with the restriction that all individuals nominated must be 18+ at the time of nomination, and relatives/significant others are not allowed unless they are also public figures.

Freeforms should have some clear connection to hurt and/or comfort. For example, Soulmate AU is too general, Soulmate AU - Shared Pain would be accepted.

Incorrect nominations will be posted to this com and rejected after 24 hours if not corrected. Nominations are entirely anonymous, we have no way of knowing who submitted a nomination or a direct way to contact them.
