Fandom nominations are now open for Fall Equinox 2019: Costume Party. Nominations will remain open until Saturday, July 20th.

You can nominate up to 10 safety fandoms and 10 non-safety fandoms here:

Fall Equinox Safety Fandoms Tag Set Nominations Page
- for video (TV, movie, streaming, etc.) fandoms that have exact runtimes of 240 minutes or less and have no more than two films / episodes / separate parts within the scope of the nominated fandom tag.

Fall Equinox Non-Safety Fandoms Tag Set Nominations Page - for fandoms that are 241+ minutes in length (total), and/or have three or more films / episodes / separate parts. Any sources without exact video runtimes, such as books, podcasts, and video games, should be nominated here.

The full description of what fandoms qualify for "Costume Party":

Fictional sources in any format that are set in earlier eras than they were produced/released in -- e.g., costume / period / historical dramas and comedies.

For the purposes of this theme, the earlier era the source is set in must be at least 20 years prior to the period in which the source was made; for example, a source released in 2019 could be set in 1999 or earlier.

Magical realism sources or other kinds of genres that blend "real world" settings with purely fantasy settings/alternate realities/etc. are allowed so long as the source is a) primarily set or grounded in the "real world," and b) the source fits all other rules for the theme.

Sources do not have to be strictly historical; sources based on Homeric epics, Arthurian legend, Shakespearean plays, Bronte novels etc. are fine. Sources that seem to be set in specific eras but have fictional kingdoms/rulers are probably also fine, so long as they are not overtly different fantasy worlds (e.g., Galavant is probably fine as it is vaguely medieval Europe, Lord of the Rings is not fine as Middle Earth is distinctly another world).

Sources with a mix of eras that include the present day (or the present day as it was when the source was released) are allowed, so long as a significant majority of the material is set in earlier eras. Examples include Interview with the Vampire, where the characters have lived through to the current day, and Saving Private Ryan, which is told in flashback.

Time travel clarification: Time travel is only allowed if all parts of the source meet the "set 20+ years before source's current day" rule -- e.g., Outlander, where a character from the past travels further back into the past; otherwise, characters must be from the eras in which they're shown. Sources featuring "present day" characters in the past don't qualify, as they are considered to still be primarily grounded in the present day.
 

As usual, the tag moderators will be approving or rejecting tags as nominations are submitted. This saves time and allows participants to see an actively updated list of what has already been nominated (and accepted). Please keep in mind that this means that once your nominations have been sent in, there's no guarantee you'll be able to edit them.

If you have questions about nominations, particular fandoms, or anything else, you can leave comments on this post or email us at equinoxvids@gmail.com.
