Gentle reminder to disambiguate relationship nominations (add the fandom name in parentheses behind your nomination). This will help us approve your tags faster.

The tagset currently has nominations for both North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell and North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell|UK TV. Nominators, would you rather keep book nominations and TV nominations separate (in which case I will duplicate nominations currently under the umbrella tag into both sub-fandoms), or would you rather combine them under the single Gaskell|UK TV tag?

I've already heard from the book-only nominator (thank you).

Nominations for Just Married 2025 are open! Find the tagset here: https://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/23587.

Nominations will close 11:59pm UTC on Jun 10. To convert UTC to your time zone, click here, adjust the date as necessary, and click “add a city or time zone.”

Please disambiguate relationship nominations (add the fandom name in parentheses behind your nomination). This will help us approve your tags faster.

Last year's freeforms have been copied over to this year's tagset, and we will also be accepting new tags. Please add category prefixes when nominating! A list of prefixes can be found here - thank you to the spreadsheet creator.

Tagset update for 2025: By request, the A/B/O category has been renamed Omegaverse. One tag had to be shortened to fit the character limit (A/B/O - Alpha/Alpha mating bond assumed impossible but A&B accidentally do it; considered married -> Omegaverse - Alpha/Alpha mating bond assumed impossible; A&B accidentally do it; considered married.) All other tags remain the same aside from the category change.

Nomination Guidelines:

You may nominate up to 7 fandoms, 7 relationships per fandom, and 10 freeform tags. Mods will approve nominations throughout the time range, and clarification questions will be posted to this community.

For relationship tags, please nominate in the format 'Character A/Character B' for romantic relationships and use 'Character A & Character B' for non-romantic relationships. You may nominate more than two characters in a relationship.

Please disambiguate all relationship tags by adding "(Fandom Name)" at the end. Examples: Jake Peralta/Amy Santiago (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Confused Male Demon & The Male Prime Minister He Accidentally Possessed (Original Work).

Freeform tags are for trope or situation matching. Examples include: arranged marriage, accidentally married, sedoretu, etc. Feel free to get creative but please aim for clarity. For example, “soulbond marriage” is ambiguous, “marriage with forced soulbonding” is clearer.

Please include a category when nominating freeforms! This is to help us keep the tagset organized. A list of categories can be found here (thank you to the sheet creator). To use it, please save or download a local editable copy. You can then browse the categories, or click into individual categories to see the freeforms within that category. The public spreadsheet will be updated from time to time as new freeform tags are accepted.

Please nominate only marriage tropes and situations! Freeforms unrelated to marriage will be rejected.

Specific fandom notes:
~~All Dragon Age nominations go under Dragon Age: All Media Types.~~
Update: Dragon Age game nominations go under Dragon Age (Video Games). All other nominations should go under the tag for their specific media type (books, comics, movies, etc).
All of the associated movies go under Marvel Cinematic Universe. Please nominate Marvel TV shows on their own.
All of the associated movies go under DC Extended Universe.

Original Works are welcome. Please nominate under the Original Work fandom tag. If you have specific genders in mind, include those in your nomination. Example: “Female Soldier/Male Assassin (Original Work).”

Crossovers are welcome. Please nominate crossover relationships under the Crossover Fandom tag. List the character name followed by their canon. Example: “Tony Stark (MCU)/Bruce Wayne (DCU).” Crossover nominations that do not follow this format may be rejected.

Freeform Clarifications

Not yet accepted:

Marriage: Someone's trying to kill me and I think it's my spouse
- Would it be all right for us to accept this as "Established Marriage - Suspects that Spouse is Trying to Kill Them"?
Identity Porn - Finding Out to Be/Getting Married to Enemy
- Would it be all right for us to accept this as "Marriage - Finding Out Spouse is Enemy"?
Identity Porn - Finding Out to Be/Getting Married to Unexpected Person
- Would it be all right for us to accept this as "Marriage - Finding Out Spouse is Unexpected Person"?
Marriage - Largely for practical/legal reasons (and they're also very in love)
- The tagset contains "Marriage of Convenience - Both Agree for Both Practical Reasons and Love; Neither Believe This", "Marriage of Convenience - Both Agree for Both Practical Reasons and Love; One Doesn't Believe This". Would either of those (or simply "Marriage of Convenience - Both Agree for Both Practical Reasons and Love", or "Marriage of Convenience - Mutual Pining") work?

Please disambiguate (add the fandom in parentheses after) your relationship nominations. They will get approved faster, and this will reduce the chance of us typo-ing your nomination while adding the disambiguation.

Relationship Clarifications

Star Wars: All Media Types - Please nominate under one of the trilogies or the specific movie, book or TV series.

Witcher: All Media Types - Please nominate under either the books, the games, or the TV series.

Resolved - Dragon Age (Video Games) and Dragon Age: Inquisition - we are using the Dragon Age - All Media Types overall tag, so nominations in these fandoms will be moved to DA - AMT. (Nominators, if you do not want this, please let us know.)

Resolved - Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Thor - We are using the Marvel Cinematic Universe overall tag, so nominations in these fandoms will be moved to MCU. (Nominators, if you do not want this, please let us know.)

Resolved - Doctor Who - Would it be OK to merge the following relationships into Doctor Who (2005)?

Freeform Clarifications

A believes they will never want to marry but changes their mind while B is in mortal peril

Prefix clarifications:

Alternate Universe - Married Each Other instead of Canonical Partner(s)

Nominations for Just Married 2021 are open! Find the tagset here: https://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/4366.

Nominations will close 11:59pm UTC on the 24th of May. To convert UTC to your time zone, click here, adjust the date as necessary, and click “add a city or time zone.”

Organized Freeforms (New for 2021):

As per poll results, we will be using the organized freeform tagset this year. This tagset consists of last year's freeforms with added broad category prefixes, and some tags have been reworded. The organized tagset is open to new freeform nominations. When nominating new tags, please include categories.

To help you browse and find tags, there is a spreadsheet with all current categories and freeforms here. To use it, please save or download a local editable copy. You can then browse the categories, or click into individual categories to see the freeforms within that category. The public spreadsheet will be updated from time to time as new freeform tags are accepted.

If you are looking for a tag as it appeared exactly in last year's tagset, you may not find it. We suggest browsing the broad category or ctrl-fing for keywords. If no current tag fits the concept you want, please re-nominate your tag.

Nomination Guidelines:

You may nominate up to 7 fandoms, 7 relationships per fandom, and 10 freeform tags. Mods will approve nominations throughout the time range, and clarification questions will be posted to this community.

For relationship tags, please nominate in the format 'Character A/Character B' for romantic relationships and use 'Character A & Character B' for non-romantic relationships. You may nominate more than two characters in a relationship.

Please disambiguate all relationship tags by adding "(Fandom Name)" at the end. Examples: Jake Peralta/Amy Santiago (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Confused Male Demon & The Male Prime Minister He Accidentally Possessed (Original Work).

Freeform tags are for trope or situation matching. Examples include: arranged marriage, accidentally married, sedoretu, etc. Feel free to get creative but please aim for clarity. For example, “soulbond marriage” is ambiguous, “marriage with forced soulbonding” is clearer.

Please include a category when nominating freeforms! This is to help us keep the tagset organized. A list of categories can be found here.

Please also nominate only marriage tropes and situations! Freeforms unrelated to marriage will be rejected.

Specific fandom notes: Based on feedback from last year: All Dragon Age nominations go under Dragon Age: All Media Types. All of the associated movies go under Marvel Cinematic Universe, and all of the associated movies go under DC Extended Universe.

Original Works are welcome. Please nominate under the Original Work fandom tag. If you have specific genders in mind, include those in your nomination. Example: “Female Soldier/Male Assassin (Original Work).”

Crossovers are welcome. Please nominate crossover relationships under the Crossover Fandom tag. List the character name followed by their canon. Example: “Tony Stark (MCU)/Bruce Wayne (DCU).” Crossover nominations that do not follow this format may be rejected.

Fandoms

There is an issue where nominating both MCU and Marvel - TV can result in getting locked out of your noms page. If this happened to you and prevented you from adding or changing your nominations when you wanted to, please let us know.

Relationships

Magical Diary (Visual Novels) - We received a question regarding the "Main Character" nominations. Since the second game in the series has a different lead character, these nominations are ambiguous. Would you like to change "Main Character" to Mary Sue/Gary Stu, Horse Hall MC/Wolf Hall MC, or something similar to clarify?
- Hieronymous Grabiner/Main Character (Magical Diary VN)
- Main Character/Damien Ramsey (Magical Diary VN)
- Main Character/Ellen Middleton (Magical Diary VN)
- Virginia Danson/Main Character (Magical Diary VN)
Unclear crossovers - We received a question about some crossover nominations which could refer to characters that appear in multiple canons. Please let us know if you want to specify a canon. Otherwise, any canon will be acceptable for these characters.
- Dinah Lance (BOP)/Natasha Romanov (MCU)
  - Dinah Lance: appears in Birds of Prey comics, is played by Rachel Skarsten in the Birds of Prey TV show, and is played by Jurnee Smollet-Bell in Birds of Prey (2020)
- Elizabeth Swann (PotC)/Diana of Themyscira (WW)
  - Diana of Themyscira: Various comic runs, played by Lynda Carter in the TV show, played by Gal Gadot in the DCEU
