Specific Nominations

Dishonored

Captor!Corvo Attano/Prisoner!Guard He Keeps Choking Out In Different Locations

Is this a canonical guard or OC?

Marvel Cinematic Universe

Prisoner!Loki & rescuer!Avengers

If you do not have a specific Avengers roster in mind, we can leave this; however, since the members of the Avengers change across the movies of the MCU, be aware that different people may have different ideas about who is in the Avengers.

Captive Prince - C.S. Pacat

Damen/Kastor
Kastor/Laurent

These nominations do not include any indication of captor/prisoner/rescuer/visitor and cannot be approved as is.

General Formatting Note

There are multiple fandoms nominations that cannot be approved right now for one or more of the following reasons:

The characters are not listed in the following order: Captor! -- Prisoner! -- Rescuer! -- Visitor!
The exclamation marks are missing or in the wrong place
The spacing around & or / is incorrect

These are all issues that make it easier for both the Ao3 system and the mods to flag and avoid duplicates. If you have pending nominations, please check them and fix as needed.

Nominations are closed. This is the final freeform clarification post. If you missed the chance to nominate the freeform of your heart, you may comment on this post or DM lailah_tov#4848 on Discord to request one (1) additional freeform before 10 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on April 17. Please make sure that your requested freeform is correctly formatted, and is not redundant with any other freeform in the tagset.

All nominated freeforms have been accepted as given (other than typo fixes), except the following:

Rejected tags

Scenario - Prisoner chooses capture by Captor to avoid being imprisoned by someone else
Rejected, as we already have have Scenario - Prisoner surrenders to one captor as to not be captured by other captor.

Trapped In The Acheron (The Mechanisms)
Rejected as noted in previous post.

Attitude - Prisoner not impressed with quality of rescue (played for humor)
Rejected as noted in previous post.

Slavery - Prisoner experiencing forced prostitution with Rescuer
Rejected, as queries in previous post were not answered.

Rephrased tags

If our rephrasing goes against your intent, please let us know.

Alternate Universe - BDSM - Prisoner Forcibly Assigned to Be Visitor's Sub/Slave
We do not accept scenarios in AU tags, so this was accepted as Scenario - Prisoner Forcibly Assigned to Be Visitor's Sub/Slave (BDSM AU). We also added Alternate Universe - BDSM to the tagset.

Noncon - Forced into Mutual Noncon in Front of Audience
Accepted as Noncon - Prisoners Forced into Mutual Noncon in Front of Audience.

Scenario:prisoner is willing to be imprisoned to bring corrupted captor back to themselves
Accepted as Scenario - Prisoner Willingly Imprisoned as Proximity Is Only Way to Rescue Captor from Corruption.

Scenario - Captor is the prisoner's captive from a previous time
Accepted as Captor - Was previously the prisoner's captive.

Rescue - Mirrorverse!kid sexually abused by mentor rescused by canonverse good versions
Accepted as Rescue - Mirrorverse Child Captive of Sexually Abusive Mentor; Rescued by Canonverse Child & Mentor.

Thanks for all the quick responses to the earlier queries!

Please respond only about tags you nominated. You can either reply here or edit your tag in response to the query. Queried tags that haven't been edited or discussed by the end of nominations (about 10 hours from the timestamp on this post) will be rejected.

A general note: Please format nominations with " - " between the category and the freeform. That is a hyphen, not any other kind of dash. Please do not use gendered terms to refer to people mentioned in the freeform.

Queries

Slavery - Prisoner experiencing forced prostitution with Rescuer
I think this was edited in response to the previous query, but it's still unclear. Would Slavery - Rescuer must purchase services of Prisoner forced into prostitution by Captor be an accurate rephrasing? Or Slavery - Rescuer forces rescued Prisoner into prostitution? Or something else?

Scenario:prisoner is willing to be imprisoned to bring corrupted captor back to themselves

Can you explain what "bring corrupted captor back to themselves" means? Is the idea that the prisoner needs to get close in order to cleanse the captor of corruption, or something else?

Alternate Universe - BDSM - Prisoner Forcibly Assigned to Be Visitor's Sub/Slave

Please do not put scenarios in AU freeforms. We will accept Alternate Universe - BDSM and/or Scenario - Prisoner Forcibly Assigned to Be Visitor's Sub/Slave (BDSM AU).

Scenario: captor imprisons prisoner to protect him

We already have Scenario - Abduction for Prisoner's Protection, so this tag will be rejected when nominations close.

Attitude - Prisoner not impressed with quality of rescue (played for humor)

Sorry, you can't use a freeform to mandate that a creator take a certain approach or set a certain tone in their work, because it will be impossible for the moderators to judge whether a fic is adequately humorous to be assignment-fulfilling. Feel free to prompt humorous scenarios in your optional details. We already have Attitude - Prisoner not impressed with quality of rescue, so this tag will be rejected when nominations close.

Trapped In The Acheron (The Mechanisms)

We do not accept fandom-specific freeforms, so this tag will be rejected when nominations close.

prisonerex_mod

Please edit the following relationships to be in the approved format or they will be rejected. All characters must have a role assigned (Captor, Prisoner, Rescuer, or Visitor).

Thanks for all the quick responses to the earlier queries!

Please respond only about tags you nominated. You can either reply here or edit your tag in response to the query. Queried tags that haven't been edited or discussed by the end of nominations will be rejected.

Queries

Captor - Wants Prisoner To Join Them
We already have Scenario - Prisoner joins captors' cause and Scenario - Prisoner Accepts Offer To Join Captor; will one of those suffice?

Capture - Captor Abducting Prisoner Because They Need Something From Them
We already have Scenario - Captor needs prisoner's help; will that suffice?

Slavery - Prisoner experiencing forced prostitution with Rescuer
I think this was edited in response to the previous query, but it's still unclear. Would Slavery - Rescuer must purchase services of Prisoner forced into prostitution by Captor be an accurate rephrasing? Or Slavery - Rescuer forces rescued Prisoner into prostitution? Or something else?

Prisoner - Prisoners Are Extremely Codependent
We already have Attitude - Unhealthy codependence on fellow prisoners, so this tag will be rejected in 24 hours.

Metal Gear

Several relationships have a space between Prisoner! or Captor! and the character; please fix to help with consistency (especially on the back end).

Original Work

Please change the following relationships to follow nomination guidelines. If you need assistance with formatting, you can reply here and the mods/community will assist.

Dangerously Reckless Older Submissive (Prisoner)/Naive New Dom With Freshly Awakened Kinks (Rescuer)
Gay Dad (Rescuer) & Traumatized Young Woman He Lovingly Reparents (Prisoner)
Man Put In the Stocks Overnight/Monster(s) Who First Fuck Him Then Break Him Out

Warhammer 40,000

Please change the following relationships to follow nomination guidelines.

Ezekyle Abaddon/Tarik Torgaddon
Honsou/Uriel Ventris
Lorgar Aurelian & Corvus Corax
Lorgar Aurelian/Roboute Guilliman
Marneus Calgar/Quintus Heximar
Rogal Dorn/Perturabo

prisonerex_mod

Please respond only about tags you nominated. You can either reply here or edit your tag in response to the query. Queried tags that haven't been edited or discussed by the end of nominations will be rejected.

A general note: Please avoid using "they" in freeforms when multiple people are mentioned, as it's often unclear. "Captor Tells Prisoner How Much Captor Loves Prisoner" is clunky, but clearer than "Captor Tells Prisoner How Much They Love Them." Thank you!

Changes

Coercion - Captor Believes They Are Following God's Will

Moved to Scenario, as it's unclear what the coercion element is.

Noncon - Metal all the way through

Replaced with Noncon - Impaled all the way through with metal object and Noncon - Penetrated all the way through with a metal object or chain for clarity.

Queries

Noncon/Dubcon - Captor in heat/rut fucks unwilling captor - potentially forces them into heat

Should "unwilling captor" be "unwilling prisoner", or is the captor unwilling due to being in heat/rut? Also, please either remove "potentially" to lock the forced heat into the freeform, or remove the last part altogether so requesters can prompt.

Noncon - Captor touches Prisoner while making them watch the character of their desires

Whose desires? And what is being watched: is the desired character walking down the street, being assaulted, something else? Please clarify.

Scenario - Captor Kidnaps Character Who Reminds them of their love

Would "Scenario - Captor Kidnaps Character Who Reminds Captor of Captor's Love Interest" be an accurate rephrasing?

Slavery - Forced prostitution with Rescuer

It's unclear who is being forced or by whom; please clarify.

Noncon - Prisoner given choice to noncon other prisoner or the captor does

We already have Noncon - Prisoner A Forced to Rape Prisoner B or Else Prisoner B Will Be Raped by Captor, so this tag will be rejected in 24 hours.

Scenario: working together to escape (fails)
Scenario: working together to escape (succeeds)

We already have Scenario - Prisoners work together to escape, which implies success, so we have approved the first as Scenario - Prisoners work together to escape but escape plan fails and will reject the second after 24 hours.

prisonerex_mod

Freeforms

Scenario-Captivity during a war of their sides: We already have Scenario - Prisoner of War. Can you specify what's different about this nom?
Torture - For Revenge: The "torture" category is meant to be more for instruments or methods. Can we change this to Scenario - Revenge as Motivation for Torture?
Torture - Hypnotism: can you be clearer about how hypnotism is a form of torture? Or should this be under Coercion - Hypnotism instead?

Ships

Crossover Fandom

P!Loki (MCU)/P!Armitage Hux (SWST) & R!BAMF female character of choice from either fandom: If you are going to request "character of choice," please do so without adjectives so it really is the author's choice.

Star Trek: Lower Decks (Cartoon)

Captor!Beefy OMC bad guys/Prisoner!Boimler and Captor!Sexy Menancing OMC/Prisoner!Boimler: Please nominate original characters without adjectives except in Original Works nominations. "Captors!Original Male Bad Guys" is fine, but please leave any further modifiers in your optional details instead.

Tagset duplicates

Thanks to all the participants who have noted the fandoms where duplicates are showing up in the tagset. We'll work on removing the duplicate associations, but getting nominations processed is the higher priority at the moment.

We have cleared all the ones that have shown up so far (we think) but please point out any new ones so they can also be cleared.

Compound Nominations

We have several "compound" nominations that include both & and / tags. We want to make sure that these are all read in the same manner so everyone has the same expectations when using them in their signups. Please reply with your intentions; we may need to restructure the nominations if they are too confusing.

These are all formatted incorrectly. Please apply designations (Captor, Prisoner, Rescuer, Visitor) to each character or the nominations will be rejected.

prisonerex_mod

The nominations process is ongoing and we already have some great tags! Please keep nominations coming in the Relationships and Freeforms tagsets.

Below are a handful of nominations for which we would like clarification or which may need editing.

Relationships

Prisoner!Kylo Ren/Prisoner!Rey, Prisoner!Kylo Ren/Rescuer!Rey, Rescuer!Kylo Ren/Prisoner!Rey: Please nominate these ships under Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, not under Star Wars - All Media Types.

Prisoner!Dopheld Mitaka/Rescuer!Matt the Radar Technician: Please nominate under Crossover Fandom. Matt the Radar Technician does not appear in Star Wars canon.

Freeforms

Scenario - Temporary imprisonment: Any imprisonment with an endpoint is temporary; would "Short-term imprisonment" more clearly capture what you mean?

Scenario - prisoner placed into captor's custody: This could technically describe any captivity scenario. Can you describe more precisely what you're looking for?

Scenario - Imprisonment to protect secret: The captor's secret? The prisoner's secret? Someone else's?
