Nomination Requirements:

• Only nominate mediums which you wish to create.
• It must be broad and cannot fall under any of the above mediums. If two similar mediums are nominated, they will be combined. Specific subsets of mediums should be nominated as non-binding freeforms.
• For example you may nominate "Interactive Fiction" as a broad category, and any specific styles of interactive fiction should instead be optional details nominated as freeforms or listed in the optional details box.
• Styles may not be nominated unless it is a style of visual media which can be made equivalent to a small amount, similarly to "Macaroni" or "Stick Figure". Any styles nominated for this purpose must be instantly recognizable to mods.
• You may nominate specific subcategories of Fanart, however these will be limited and should only be nominated if they provide a lower-than-1k option for bidding. These should be broader categories that aren't already covered by those above (For example "Hats" wouldn't be accepted, because "Single Accessory/Clothing Item" includes hats)
• All mediums nominated must be possible to post on their own as complete gifts.

This has been added to the tagset as "Medium: Original Music" and will be in the rules shortly with your description! That equivalent seemed really low compared to what we normally do for original music, so we stole FIAB's equivalent of 20 seconds = 1000 words (for sheet music, let us know the playtime in the top author's note and that will be the equivalent)
