If you are not part of the discord server to vote there, you vote by replying with the corresponding emojis!

Replies only, reblog additions don't count as notes from several side-blogs could skew with the results!

You can vote for several works per category, just don't vote for every single one as that has the same effect as not voting at all!

You don't need to feel bad for not voting for a work (or for your work not winning), all the nominations are wonderful, now it's just about which ones are your personal favs!

[gunpowder-milfshake-discord]

For the 1 year anniversary of the Gunpowder Milkshake release, the discord is organizing a mini fandom award for all the fanfics, artworks and other fanworks that have been created during the last year!

What is a fanwork award?

Everyone in the fandom can nominate works and later vote on which one is their favourite! There are different ways to run awards in fandom, for more information have a look at the fanlore wiki awards page.

The GM award will have nominations for all works at once, the nominations will be split by mods into different work categories, and then people can vote on which one's they like best per category.

Does the winner get anything?

Bragging rights! And probably some more attention as the winning works will be shared again, but really the event is supposed to draw attention to all the works that now aren't so new anymore.

Works can be nominated over the next two days, you still have time to either join the discord server and nominate them in the events channel there, or send asks with the work url, or title + creator here!

An updated Fandom Primer

As the fandom is still small but growing, we on the @gunpowder-milfshake-discord thought that we would create a primer with information for new fans, so we can all use the same tags to easily share our creations and find all the fic, art and other content as well as like-minded fans we are looking for!

Tumblr Tagging

Shipnames

Because tumblr doesn't have default shipname suggestions like on ao3 to group all works of one pairing together, it can be annoying, having to search different versions of name/name, name x name, etc. of a ship to find all content for it, especially with poly ships with several characters.

To circumvent that, there are shipnames that can be used by everyone to group the content together in a single tag - we encourage everyone to tag your content with these shipnames, so it will really work and of course so your works will be seen! You can still tag other shipnames in addition to these, but this way all posts will be in one search tag.

Floreleine:

Florence x Madeleine

ScarletMay:

Scarlet x Anna May

Librarywives:

Florence x Madeleine x Anna May

Killercule:

Florence x Madeleine x Anna May x Scarlet

Please take note that none of the shipnames have empty spaces! If you spell a tag differently, the post won't show up in the shipname tag.

Also let us know if any shipnames are missing! This is a femslash-centric blog and we might not have heard about any M/M or F/M ones, but we will add all information to this post.

Please use readmores on fanfiction or other long posts on tumblr so as not to spam!

Character Tags

As the characters don't have last names, the abbreviation 'GM' for Gunpowder Milkshake can be put in front of each name tag, for example GM Sam.

The capital letters aren't important for the tags, but please take note of the empty spaces! Without them, posts would end up in separate tags.

Ao3 Tagging

'Madeleine (Gunpowder Milkshake) lives' for all canon-divergence works where Madeleine survives and post-canon works with her

'Child Sam (Gunpowder Milkshake)' for early pre-canon fics with Samantha

'Vampire Madeleine (Gunpowder Milkshake)' for both fics where Madeleine survives getting shot due to vampirism and other fanfics with her as a Vampire, whether the setting is otherwise canon or fantasy

'[Name] Gunpowder Milkshake' for the characters and '[Name]/[Name] (Gunpowder Milkshake)' for the relationships - use the tags Ao3 suggests to you once you start typing!

Please only use ship- and character-tags if they are a significant part of the story, not if they are only a side-pairing/very minor character! People search for the characters and ships they want to read about after all, and would be disappointed if a tag is spammed by stories in which they barely feature.

If you want to warn your readers that a minor ship or character is featured in the story, you can use the 'minor character(s)' additional tag / the 'minor or background relationship(s)' ship tag and explain in the author's note which minor characters/ships are meant, that way you will not screw with anyone's search results.

People, Groups and Fan Events

The Discord had a headcanon event with textchat games and voicechats from the 9th to the 17th of October, a gift exchange from the 1st of December and ending in January, and at the moment several events for the 1 year GM anniversary, including a fanwork award and movie watchalongs - you can still join the server and sign up!
