Entry tags:
Nominations open!
Nominations for the 2023 round of the Worldbuilding Exchange v.2 are now open, and will close around 8pm MST Sunday January 15th. The tag set is here. Please read the nomination rules before nominating.
You may nominate up to five fandoms. For each fandom, there are five character slots and five "worldbuilding" slots. Because of the limitations of AO3 tag sets, we will be using the "Relationship" field for worldbuilding elements.
Nominate only single characters in the Character field; groups or relationships (/ or &) will be rejected.
Nominate only worldbuilding tags in the Relationship field; groups or relationships (/ or &) will be rejected.
Fandoms must have at least one worldbuilding tag nominated by end of nominations, or they will be rejected.
Fandoms
Please nominate fandoms in a way that makes it clear which canons you are looking to receive/create worldbuilding fanworks about, whether the names match AO3 canonicals or not. Unlike many other exchanges, in Worldbuilding Exchange it is expected that in some cases overlapping canons will exist within the tag set, since the worldbuilding ideas people might come up with will differ depending on which source materials they are considering.
Please check already approved tags before you start nominating, and try to be consistent with what has already been put in the tag set if your ideas are compatible.
"Original Work - [Genre]" will be allowed as a fandom. For example, "(Original Work - High Fantasy)", "(Original Work - Hard SF Space Setting)", etc.
“Creator’s Choice of Fandom” will not be allowed as a fandom.
Real Person Fiction (RPF) will not be allowed, on the grounds that "real world worldbuilding", if it means anything at all, covers essentially all forms of human intellectual enquiry from quantum cosmology to celebrity journalism, and is therefore outside the scope of a fanworks exchange. Similar arguments apply to canons which are very closely based on real events, e.g. The Crown.
Crossovers are eligible if the crossover actually happened within one or other of the canons involved, as this implies shared worldbuilding. Please provide evidence for crossover nominations, and nominate with a "fandom" tag consisting of the two crossed over canons names separated by a "/", eg "ER/Third Watch".
Characters
Please nominate only single characters in this field. Nominations for groups or relationships will be rejected.
Please disambiguate your character nominations, unless you are nominating a stand-alone fandom that does not have any adaptations, subsets, or versions of the canon, in which case you may use the existing character tag suggested by the AO3 dropdown.
You can determine whether this is the case by going to the character's landing page on AO3, which has the format https://archiveofourown.org/tags/[charactername]. (You can also reach this page by filtering on the character, and clicking on the link that is the character name at the top of the page.) If it is a common tag, and there is only one fandom listed in the box marked Parent tags, you may nominate it as written. If you’re uncertain, please disambiguate.
If there are two or more fandoms listed, such as a book fandom and its TV adaptation, please disambiguate by indicating the fandom you've nominated as clearly as possible (for example, "Amos Burton (Expanse Books)", or "Darth Vader (Obi-Wan Kenobi TV)").
You are welcome to nominate specific types of original characters that are pertinent to the fandom, for example, "Original Clayr Character (Old Kingdom)" or “Original Surface Dwarf Character (Dragon Age Inquisition).”
Unlike in the previous incarnation of this exchange, you do not have to include "Original Character(s) (Name of Fandom)" and "Any or No Characters (Name of Fandom)" amongst your nominated characters. Mods will be adding these tags for all fandoms after nominations close.
Worldbuilding
Tags for fandom-specific worldbuilding elements should be nominated in the Relationship field. Use "WB: " at the start of each of these tags, and disambiguate with the fandom name at the end (for example: "WB: Belter Culture and Customs (Expanse TV)"). Do not nominate any type of actual relationship (/ or &); any such nominations will be rejected. You may wish to look at the tagsets used in the previous incarnation of this exchange for ideas: 2022 is here, 2021 is here, and earlier tagsets can be found through the parent collection page.

WB: The hauntings of King Helm Hammerhand (The Lord of the RIngs - Tolkien)
it should be WB: The hauntings of King Helm Hammerhand (The Lord of the Rings - Tolkien)
I accidentally capitalized the I in Rings.

Question - in the old worldbuilding exchange, we could nominate specific subgroups in the Any Character format (Any Red Priest, Any Targaryen, Any Dornish Character, etc.). Is that still an option in this exchange?
