rarecharacters | Gearing up for Round #2

Hello, hello! ~~*sending out an SOS*~~

What with

rarepairfest just having closed their sign-ups you surely don't need another Rare [x] challenge, right? However, if you do, there will be a few changes this year. We hope you're okay with that. First, the Dates:

Dates

Jul 1 - Jul 15: Nomination period
Jul 16 - Jul 30: Signups open
Aug 1: Assignments go out
Oct 1: Assignments are due
Oct 8: Works are revealed
Oct 15: Authors are revealed

And secondly, this year we will only be checking eligibility on AO3. We hope that works for you. In our experience, ff.net is more relevant for older fandoms, and we wouldn't mind re-populating those on AO3.

Thoughts, suggestions, concerns are all welcome! Hoping to see you play! :)

P.S.: If you can't wait to write anything, why not head over to our Treat Collection? There, you can browse prompts to create fanwork for, and leave your own. Alternately, you can browse the requests from last year. Maybe something sparks your interest. :)

We'll be back on the 1st.

now that the nominations have already started.
But the nomination period began today. There's plenty of time to re-nominate fandoms/characters/ships right now. If you have the list of fandoms/characters/ships you rejected, you could post that list to the communities and ask people to re-nominate them. That's how I knew all of my nominations were rejected; the mod posted a list of ships she'd rejected.

and hope the numbers aren't against them.
All of my nominations had been rejected. I got one ship re-nominated but I had nominated a lot of ships. And I couldn't go through the same process of convincing her that all of my rare ships were in fact rare.

So, I want to nominate characters but what do I do if they're rejected again?
