hurtcomfortexmodYou can nominate up to
10 Fandoms
10 Pairings per fandom
20 Freeforms
Pairing nominations will indicate which character is hurt, or if both 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)
Character A & Any (hurt Character A)
For OT3+ instead of "both hurt" please use "all 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)"
For poly cases where multiple characters are attracted to one character, use parenthesis for the group.
(Obi-Wan & Padmé Amidala)/Anakin Skywalker (hurt Obi-Wan) for fic that is both Obi-Wan/Anakin and Padmé Amidala/Anakin but NOT Obi-Wan/Padmé Amidala.
"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 fic and the & is for genfic. Character&None (hurt Character) is used for single characters
Crossover pairings should go under Crossover Fandom with the character's fandom indicated. Luke Skywalker (SW)/James T. Kirk (ST)
Large Franchises pairings should be nominated under All Media when appropriate. Star Wars Original Trilogy Luke Skywalker/Han Solo is considered the same characters as Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Luke/Han and would go under Star Wars All Media Types. Ocarina of Time Link/Zelda are different characters from Twilight Princess Link/Zelda and would be nominated under their respective games.
Original Works are allowed.
Creator's Choice of Fandom is allowed. Do not use DNWs to overly restrict the fandoms.
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.
Character/&Any is allowed. Specific restrictions must be baked into the request such as Character/Any Male Character, DNWs can't be used to restrict the Any beyond what appears in the work itself. DNW Murder means no murder in the work itself, but a canon murderer can still be the Any as long as the DNW is respected.
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 must include some reference to hurting or comforting from an implied hurt, they cannot be too general in nature.
"Missing the bus" is an example of a too general freeform. Hurt is not seriously implied. Instead we're looking for more like -
"Emotional distress from missing the bus" Clear emotional hurt.
"Comforting someone who missed the bus" Comfort is clear, hurt is implied.
"Mutual Pining" is another example of a too general freeform that doesn't imply hurt/comfort.
We would prefer -
"Comforting someone who is pining for you"
"Pining causes physical/magical illness"
"Hanahaki Disease"
Freeforms that are unclear will be rounded up in clarification posts where we welcome comments clarifying or arguing for their inclusion, but the final decision will be made by the mods.
