Entry tags:

~2 days left for nominations

Nominations will close at 11:59pm CST on 1 July. (Countdown)

Here is how to nominate, and here is where to nominate.


  • Shadowhunters nominator, could you please help us with the following tag: "AU: 2x03 True love's kiss awakens Alec Malec accidental soulbond + parabatai (Shadowhunters)" - is this two separate AUs?

  • Each fandom needs at least 1 character or relationship and 2 AU tags nominated. Fandoms that don't have this will be removed from the tag set.

  • We will not approve 'Original Characters' as a character tag, sorry. We will approve 'Original Characters' as a character tag in a canon if they are appropriate to an AU tag nominated in that canon.

Hmm. That was to go with the AU in which conventionally disabled witches and wizards exist at Hogwarts, in the Order of the Phoenix, etc. (as opposed to those with magically caused disabilities like Mad-Eye Moody or Remus Lupin). And the AU has been approved.

I can't actually provide a canonical witch or wizard who's blind, deaf, in a wheelchair or on crutches, has a genetically based condition, etc., because none exist in canon. That's why I was asking for the AU, where the Original Disabled Characters could work, attend school, etc. side by side with canonical characters in any time or place in the Potterverse.

After some talk, and taking into consideration the nature of the AU we approved, we're allowing the original character nomination.

Also, a recommendation! If it runs next year, [community profile] worldbuildingex, an exchange dedicated to worldbuilding, may be something you'd enjoy!
