slashmarksNominations are now open! Please refer to this post for formatting/eligibility.
Fandoms:
All fandoms are eligible, including Original Work, RPF and Creator's Choice of Fandom. (Refer to rules post for RPF-specific exceptions.) Please subdivide Star Wars by specific property (Both Star Wars - All Media Types AND Star Wars Legends are ineligible. Name the specific property, e.g., "Star Wars Original Trilogy," "Star Wars Legends: New Jedi Order Series.") Please divide MCU into MCU (for movies) and specific show. Please nominate Buffy, Angel and related fandoms under Buffyverse. I'm open to thoughts on other large properties. Crossovers, including between subproperties, should be nominated under Crossover Fandom, with the specific property in parentheses after each charater (So, Crossover Fandom: Character A (Property A)/Character B (Property B).)
Relationships:
Several nominations formats/types are eligible: Solo: Character A (just A is nominated and can be alone or in any relationship), Character A tops Character B (Character A tops or doms B), Character A/Character B (Character A and B are in a romantic/sexual/play relationship without topping preferences specified), and Character A & Character B (platonic relationship). Topping here refers to domming or "giving"/applying the kink freeform in kinks without D/s, not penetration.
Original characters are allowed. Any traits that aren't specified by the tag are the creator's choice, including gender. "Any X" nominations are allowed, but you must not nominate undifferentiated groups to avoid ambiguity. "Giles tops Any Scoob(ies)" is fine. "Giles tops the Scoobies" is not fine.
Freeforms:
You may nominate any freeform that includes an on-topic kink for the exchange. Anything included under the BDSM acronym is fine. Kinks that are not specifically included under the acronym, but which I deem generally on-topic for a BDSM/harder kink exchange, are also fine. This is inherently subjective, but you may feel free to ask here/in email/on Discord before nominating freeforms.
Some categories of kink I would consider generally on topic: bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadomasochism/all pain kinks (per acronym), body modificaton, roleplay, fucking machines, comparatively unusual body part fetishes, material/clothing fetishes that are strongly BDSM-associated (e.g., leather) or unusual.
Some kinks that are not on topic alone, but may be added to on-topic tags: most fantasy creatures/scenarios (please specify what the centaurs/succubi/etc. are doing that is kinky), non-con or dub-con without additional kink, anal, oral, fingering, unspecified sex toys, lingerie, creampie or other ejaculation or vaginal-fluid based kinks, menstrual sex, sex positions
Any formatting is acceptable, but some specific notes:
-Smut is not required in this exchange, but you may request/offer "Smut - [tag]" to make it a requirement for your works. This applies to both fic and art.
-Tags such as "Worldbuilding - All Succubi are Doms" or "Any Kink with Anal" are acceptable means of incorporating ineligible tags.
-Discussion on discord has made it clear that "formal BDSM" has radically different definitions across exchange participants, and I encourage you not to use it or attempt to exclude it in freeforms. It is allowed, but I will be very reluctant to offer emergency pinch hits on the basis of your creator's definition not matching yours. Naming specific practices you want may be more successful. (E.g., "Unnegotiated Bondage," "Collaring Ceremony," "Legally Recognized Kink," "Old Guard Leather," "Kink Negotiation - Flogging," etc.)
