[aat_mod]

Nominations are closed! You have roughly 24 hours (countdown here) to submit your requests. Then we'll schedule auctions!

Outstanding nominations

• Creator's Choice of Recipient's Requested Fandoms (tags: CCoRRF Character & CCoRRF Characher (CCoRRF), CCoRRF Character/CCoRRF Character (CCoRRF), Solo: CCoRRF Character (CCoRRF)) — We're sorry, nominator, but we've determined that we can't accept these tags because we don't know how to make it clear what they mean and don't mean. For example, we think that what you're asking for is for people to cross over your requested fandoms, but we think that some people who'd request this would want it to be fine to mix and max characters from the same fandom and others wouldn't.
  
  Instead of a fandom tag, please add something in your AO3 sign up inviting people to mix and match characters in whatever way you prefer. We'll check optional details for that kind of note when we're checking posted works!
• Devil's in the Defaults - yelp (tags: Rowan & Modette, The Devil & Rowan) — Nominator, we couldn't find where you might have posted the required link to a permissions post. If you can provide that, we will accept these nominations. If not, we're willing to enter replacement tags (one fandom and two relationship slot tags in that fandom) instead.

Posting rules update

One thing we worry about when letting fun new mediums into the event is whether or not posted gifts will comply with the AO3 Terms of Service — so we've made the following edit to the Posting section of the rules:

Mediums not hosted on AO3: Make sure you have some sort of transformative work within the work on AO3, to comply with TOS. This might be an excerpt, a transcript, some or all of linked images, accompanying imagery, or screenshots of the work. You can read more about AO3's TOS here:

• AO3 Terms of Service on non-textual fanworks
• How AO3 defines fanworks versus non-fanworks
• If your transformative work needs to be downloaded or installed to a user's device or computer to view, please contact the mods for further posting guidance.

Medium updates!
