Guess That Ship Tournament Season 11: Submissions OPEN!

The Concept: You describe your ship* to me, I pick out the submissions which I find most compelling and pit them against each other without revealing who they are, people vote on them, and their identities gets revealed once they’re eliminated.

Submission Guidelines

*For the purpose of this tournament, relationships do not have to be romantic in nature. I’m sometimes going to use “ship” as a shorthand, just know I mean “relationships” in general.

Relationship can be between any number of characters.

Real people are accepted if they’ve been dead for more than 100 years.

Roleplay characters are accepted as long as the description only pertains to the characters and not the players.

OCs are accepted.

No overtly NSFW submissions. (Mentioning they have sex or are a sex worker is fine, but try to avoid anything more than that.)

Two submission per person. (Do not submit the same ship twice. I cannot enforce this on Google Forms without forcing you to log in. So just be champs and respect this rule.)

Failure to follow these guidelines may result in all of your submissions being disqualified for this season.

Summary Guidelines

Selection Process: I will read through the list of descriptions submitted without reading their names and pick the most compelling submissions. Then, I will check the name to make sure there's no repeats.

Keep it concise, but also bring something unique to the table. Make sure to describe their relationship, not just summarize the events of the story.

Previous submissions for reference. The ideal submission should be 2-3 paragraphs, but you can make it as short or long as you want. Please keep in mind the longer your submission, the less likely it is to get in.

Tips on what to avoid while writing a summary can be found here.

Descriptions should be based on canon, not headcanon. (e.g. You can say “they love each other” instead of “they’re lovers” if their romantic nature is debatable.)

Avoid author commentary. (e.g. "They're canonically x," "I love them," "Play/watch/read this," etc.)

Use canonical pronouns.

Avoid identifying information or setting specific giveaways. (i.e. Ninja village, space necromancers.)

When submitting OCs, please make sure to at least put a name somewhere. (e.g. "John and Bob by anonymous" or "OCs by Joey.")

The more popular your ship is the more vague the description should be.

Exclusions

Ships that were accepted in Season 7 onwards and ships that at least reached the semifinals in Season 1-6 are not allowed. For a complete list, please look here. (No need to look through the whole list, just Ctrl+F to find the ship you want.)

Any submissions from Harry Potter will also not be included.

Notes

I will not vet the ships/pairings for problematic content.

If you participate in this tournament, know that you run the risk of unintentionally voting for your nOTP. The mod does not take any responsibility for any distress that may cause you.

Submit your ships here! Submissions will be open until Sunday, May 5th at 9 PM EDT.

Please reblog this post to spread the word! The more submissions, the better!

Welcome to the Most Iconic Mascot Tournament!

This is an account dedicated to the battle royal style tournament to decide the most iconic characters of all time!

We are currently in the matchup stage.

As such, the inbox will be open but we are no longer accepting fighters!

Progress will be announced as it's made!

My name is Toxic. I go by she/they and am 22 years old and I'll be your announcer for the evening! Characters submitted will be vetted by me, and if they meet the criteria to participate they will be added to the roster!

What is the criteria for a character to be included?

A mascot is defined as a character meant to represent or draw attention to an event or organization. For example, Hello Kitty would be considered a valid mascot! This definition can also be bent to include iconic protagonists from popular media such as Goku from Dragon Ball. Some characters are subject to rejection to prevent drawing attention to their source media due to a creators negative influence. For example, YouTuber Mascots are tenuous at best and will be vetted very carefully. Harry Potter for example is outright banned.

The list of example characters participating in the tournament will be posted soon. Stay tuned!
