Nominations are closed! I will be working through the remaining nominations that have yet to be reviewed. I do not have any plans on posting another query post, although I will if I have any questions.

A huge thank you to the tagmods for helping me tackle our massive nominations dashboard! We have over 3,000 nominations and I would not have been able to climb that mountain as quickly as I did without you. You have been a tremendous help. ♥

*

In the meantime, please have a look at the tagset, specifically what you're interested in requesting and offering, and let me know if you see any errors such as duplicates or strange typos by Tuesday 12 August at 11:59pm EDT. [ In your timezone. ] The tagset will be finalised by this time and will not be changing for any edit requests.

When flagging errors, please provide the fandom and the nomination as it sits in the tagset so I can easily find them! Thank you to everyone who has already flagged duplicates and errors!

Sign-ups will open on Wednesday 13 August, time unspecified. Please be aware that Tuesday 12 August at 11:59pm EDT. [ In your timezone. ] is the deadline for 2024's participants to have commented on their gifts from that round. Here is a handy link for the 2024 collection. (If your nominations are fine, perhaps have a look around at our previous collections and comment on some of the gifts! We have fantastic works in our collections!)

Thoughts on fandom
Fantastic Four (2025) vs Marvel Cinematic Universe
I have several nominations for Fantastic Four: First Steps characters, but we have them split across MCU and FF:FS in the nominations dashboard. Did the nominators—or those who are interested in requesting/offering—oppose me placing them under "Fantastic Four (2025)"? I know that this movie is technically in the MCU, but as it takes place on another Earth, I'm considering accepting it as a different "continuity" to the other MCU relationships.

All the nominations that have been submitted for this sub-fandom are approved, even though, at the publishing of this post, I have not officially approved them yet. I just need to know where to put them.


*

Rejected nominations
If you oppose a rejection because it's eligible or I've made a mistake (it happens—I have been hit with AO3's "Retry Later" and "You're clicking too quickly" messages repeatedly over the last 48 hours that has reset my progress when approving nominations 😫), please let me know before 11:59pm on Tuesday 12 August so these nominations can be reinstated into the tagset.

These nominations were rejected during the last round of nomination review:

Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
Neville Longbottom/Luna Lovegood (HP) - Over 250 works.

due South
Benton Fraser/Margaret Thatcher - Over 250 works.

Stranger Things (TV 2016)
Eleven | Jane Hopper/Maxine "Max" Mayfield (Stranger Things) - Over 250 works.
Maxine "Max" Mayfield/Lucas Sinclair (Strainger Things) - Over 250 works.

Quantum Leap (TV 1989)
Sam Beckett/Al Calavicci - Over 250 works.


Thank you!

The mods are doing some cleanup on the tagset, and we have a couple questions.
  • If you nominated Lady of the Blue Brooch, please let us know what fandom it was intended for? The association was lost. We think it's meant for LotR books.
  • If you nominated "Worldbuilding: Gandalf enlists Lobelia on the Quest instead of Gandalf" in the Hobbit book fandom please clarify to the mods what you intended? (We think it's meant to be "Gandalf enlists Lobelia on the Quest instead of Bilbo" but maybe we're not thinking far enough outside the original timeline?)
  • If you nominated the following under the Crossovers fandom, please clarify what you intended - these groups can be nominated under LotR books OR Silmarillion without requiring a crossover: Group: Arwen & Celebrimbor; Group: Celebrian & Celebrimbor; Group: Celebrimbor/Sauron (Crossover Fandom).

Hi everyone!

As Holly Poly season approaches, we'd like to hear from you regarding a few things, including your thoughts on how the exchange ran last year.

We're trying to get ahead this year and your feedback will help us solve issues people had on the participant side of things.

Please note: if you had any issues regarding a rejected gift, DNWs that were not honored, or lack of comment/kudos from your giftee, please email us at holly.poly.exchange@gmail.com.

Use this post to give us feedback on any of the following:
  • Any constructive feedback in general on how it went last year
  • Specific feedback on any tagset issues, for example, if you think fandom any splits/merges should be done differently in future
  • What are your thoughts on the nomination pre-gaming we introduced last year? (i.e. loading tags from last year’s tagset into this tagset determined via comments on a post to make nominations easier on the mods without importing fandoms that no one might request)
  • Any comments on possible issues that might come up this year with any new fandoms? E.g. sequels or prequels with different continuity, video games vs their adaptations, etc.
 
We are very excited to hear from you to make this year’s Holly Poly run as smoothly as possible.

Duplicates/errors
Thank you to everyone who has flagged duplicates in the tagset.

If you see any duplicates/errors in the tagset, please flag them before Tuesday 12 August at 11:59pm EDT. [ In your timezone. ] I won't be editing any tags once the sign-up period commences.

Please amend fandom
Pocket Monsters: Scarlet & Violet | Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Versions
Haruto | Florian/Suguri | Kieran

Could the nominator please amend the fandom to "Pokemon Main Video Game Series", as that is the fandom we've placed other canon relationships under.

Jurassic Park - All Media Types
Billy Brennan/Alan Grant (JP)
Gray Mitchell/Zach Mitchell (JP)

We do not accept All Media Types. I will be amending Jurassic Park movie nominations (including Rebirth) to sit under "Jurassic Park (Movies)" as a fandom in the tagset.


*

Please renominate under Crossover Fandom
Star Wars - All Media Types
Poe Dameron (SW ST)/Jacen Syndulla (SW Ahsoka)

Multi-Fandom
Roberta (L'ultimo Terrestre)/Majid Zamari

As per this comment, it seems this relationship belongs under Crossover Fandom. Can the nominator please amend the disambiguations as per our crossover guidelines, too.

📢 TRSB Needs Pitch Hit Authors! 📢

We have two gorgeous art pieces in need of a writer to bring them to life for Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang! Whether you’re already signed up or just want to help out, you can volunteer as a Pitch Hitter by emailing the mods (tolkienrsb@gmail.com). 💛 Pitch Hitters will get extra time to give these pieces the love they deserve.

1. A Messenger Comes to Rómenna

A story set in Númenor just before the Fall, showing the tensions in numenorean society at large escalating, and the political and social conflicts between the faithful and the king's men, under the shadow of Sauron's manipulation. It's up to the author if the story is dramatic palace intrigue or a contained story about OC's in Rómenna, etc. (Silmarillion/Fall of Numenor, fic rating Any)

2. The Wedding of Aegnor and Andreth

An AU where Aegnor and Andreth defy fate, marry, and live happily ever after. (Silmarillion/HoME, any rating)

Main nominations are closed! Thanks for all your choices. The randomizer widget is updated too.

I don't have any outstanding nominations! So, next is sign-ups. Shortly after opening sign-ups, I'll re-set available nominations at the tag set to let people nominate one or two more fandoms if you think of anything last-minute you really want to request.

What that means is: if it's helpful to you to check "My Nominations" at the tag set to remind yourself what you meant to request/offer, please go check that soon - that data won't be available once I change the settings to give people more nominations.
