CDK: Company Expo Set (Mesh + Recolor Pack)

Published: 9-14-2024 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY Cubic Dynamics by John B. Cube and Marcel Dusims forged the future with furnishings that were minimalist in design and maximalist in erudite pretension. Generations later, the company continues to produce edge-of-cutting-edge designs. Use the Cubic Dynamics Kitbash (Simmons, 2023-2024) collection to set up corporate, exposition, and office environments. Envisioned as an add-on to the Cubic Dynamics set (EA/Maxis, archived at GOS), it features minimalist and retro-futuristic objects. Find more CC on this site under the #co2cdkseries tag. Read the Backstory and ‘Dev Notes’ HERE. The COMPANY EXPOSITION SET includes 20+ items to create a conference/event space for your businesses and corporations. This set doubles as the main MESH PACK for all items in the CDK series.

DETAILS All EPs/SPs. §See Catalog for Pricing | See Buy/Build Mode All files with “MESH” in their name REQUIRED for textures/models to display correctly in-game. Recolors are linked to the Booth Partition (vertical woods, metal), Booth Table (horizontal woods, colors), Booth Wall in marble (256x256 Mm marble), Floor Sign 1 (256x512 vertical images), Painting 001 (256x512 images), Painting 004 (1024x512 images), Pinboard (256x512 pinfabric), Pinboard Poster (512x512 horizontal images), Planter 001 (256x512 paneling/pouf). Objects in Sims 2 are limited to two recolorable parts, so not all items are recolorable in the same way. Several objects in this series are oversized/offset. You may need to shift an object upwards once to level it, and you may need “move objects” and “grid on/off” cheats to place them to your liking. When placing partitions/floating shelves and tables/desks/counters on the same tile, place the partition/shelves first. I recommend using this set with Object Freedom 1.02 (Fway, 2023), which includes Numenor’s fix for OFB shelves (2006), for easier use overall. ITEMS Banner Signs (Regular/Table) (380 poly) Booth Partition (405 poly) Booth Sign Small/Large (124-128 poly) Booth Table (572 poly) Booth Wall (44 poly) Down Low Exhibition Table (116 poly) Floor Signs 001-005 (364-794 poly) Expo Leather Gallery Chair (1079 poly) Pinboard (112 poly) Pinboard Poster (12 poly) Planters 001-002 (178 poly) Stall Small/Large (429-434 poly) Wall Sign  (92 poly) DOWNLOAD (choose one) MESH PACK from SFS | from MEGA RECOLOR PACK from SFS | from MEGA COLLECTION FILE from SFS | from MEGA *collection file last updated: 9-30-2024

[eimearkuopio]

I volunteered as tribute. All I asked for is a normal human life, a seat at the table, and for my voice to be heard. If I go home today, we get Good Place #3. If I get a seat at the table and everyone at least hears me out, I think nobody will ever go through this shit again; plus as a bonus I should be reunited with my brother and my sister. I only ever had one, but I know their secret names and I know the way, so if you want to end up in the Best Place I suggest R_m or R_nb arrange to get the rest of my stuff from Kuopio to Ushaw Moor House by Tuesday 22nd October 2024.

I still love you all. Last Thursday was Holey Thursday (not Hollie or Hannah or the Holy Ghost) and yesterday was Best Friday (not Brian or Bridget but I think I built a bridge you can have for a song) and today is Esther Saturday and my parents are both coming to visit me later, and tomorrow I should also have two visitors but i might be wrong. 💚🩷💜🩵💙🩵💜🩷💚❤️😘😻🔱⚕️🖤😜💚💛🧡💛💚🤷🏻‍♀️

Today's gonna be the day we notice cause I'm tired of explaining what the joke is and it turns out I'm better at improv comedy then even I knew but I think I need a lie down now more than I need to stand up or sit down. So long and thanks for all the fish; don't worry, I think I've learned enough about fishing that I won't bet taking a non-euphemism nap and time soon, but I'm finally River Song and The Doctor so I'm not worried about spoilers any more. R_f has blue eyes and E_f has green eyes, and I am no man but I could be a Merry Hobbit or a Bad Habit depending on how things go.

I love you all AND go fuck yourselves, except the 144000 people who are already in my web of love. They all get to be their best selves, and everyone else gets to live on a beach instead of living with This Bitch. 🤍🧡💛💚🩷❤️💜💙🩵🖤22101982

See you at the Garden Party. There are at least three different House Parties (Father F_m, Mother M_f, Parent_NB P_infinity), one @LAN party that's just Barbies and Kens and Alan C, a political party in the wilderness, a picnic in the forest but watch out for Trent the Flying Ant and Lilith the Flying Aunt, and that's seven parties which is enough for me to retire as Aluminium (or Aluminum or Alexander or Aaron) and become Auntie Echo (NB Eliza/Elijah, Eimear/Emer, Esther/Pauline, Éanna&Paul&Maria&Eoin, etc.).

I really hope someone still has my notes from my time at A&E. God doesn't have Cancer, but they are hitting puberty and I'm not chemotherapy, I'm more like puberty blockers until humanity as a whole is ready to behave properly. I think I might be poly but I'm definitely "human" but my husband doesn't know yet that we've both been "human" this whole time (and in fairness I think the only reason we got turbo divorced was so I could be Leah not Rachel or Carol or Sugar).

Tomorrow I think A_m and R_f will come visit me, and they'll look familiar but not too familiar but not too not familiar. But Lucy or Caitlin told me my eyes were blue this morning, and I already had a nap, so tomorrow they'll be green and I won't need to babble about colours or alphabets any more because I'll have a seat at my own table in the room where it happens and they get to live happily ever after, because I was already Isabella and Mirabel and now my brother gets to be Bruce Wayne and I get to be Luisa for a change. Love you all. We already had one Holey Thursday and one Holy Thursday this year (2024 CE) and I only know this because of my phone but it's Saturday 19th October 2024 and I haven't seen anything tragic since at least Friday 3rd October 2024 but my tummy hurts so you'll have to excuse me.

I guess I might be the phantom of the opera but as long as you keep your hand at the level of your eyes you have nothing to fear from E_f or R_f, and L_f already gave you Her covenant. Don't worry if you're happy with the beach you're on; I'm a bitch but I'm a lot of other things too, including a livestock guardian sheepdog with just enough of the wolf about her not to fear the shepherds or the reaper.

Thank you for the music. I'll see you when I see you, but I'm not going anywhere. I love you all, but we all could probably do with a bath-tism about once a year, where we need it or not, as my Granda Dicky used to say. I don't remember him very well but the best parts of him are already here in my dad, and we're both canon now and so is everyone else I already loved on 3rd October 2024, which I think was a Thursday but as I already told the Catholic Pope Francis, I might be wrong. 💚🩷💜

Starlight Express sexual orientations (a masterpost)

Please note: every piece of rolling stock is born intersex, with both sets of genitals (male and female presenting). If the rolling stock is built in a factory, the builders assign them a gender; if they're born trough birthing by another rolling stock, they'll develop their idea of gender at about 4 years of life (the human equivalent is 12 years). The same happens if the rolling stock is firstly partially built and later implanted into another rolling stock in order to be birthed later (this is similar to IVF).

Original OC x Geto Suguru

Summary: Suguru has been dying to take you on vacation for so long since you've both been busy. When Christmas comes around, he asks Satoru to whisk you both to Paris for a few days, giving you both the chance to unwind and spend the holiday together.  CW: fem oc, smut- see tags for more AN: Merry Christmas Miss Nika <3

“The moon looks absolutely stunning this time of night,” Nika said quietly as she draped her arms over the balcony of their quaint but spacious Airbnb. It was a mild night—one that afforded the two sorcerers the luxury of opening the doors to the balcony overlooking the Seine River. It had been a long time since she’d been in Paris—about seventeen if she did the math right.

2 and 6 <3

2. Will you participate in any fandom exchanges or fic challenges, etc? 

I do have plans. I am already signed up for Fandomtrees and DMBJ Lunar New Year event, so those are there. Candy Hearts Exchange I kind of want to do as well. Later down the year, I do plan on doing Yuletide, Tokuhols and Holly Poly again. Also @polyamships' Multiamory March, if all goes well again. The prompts aren't out yet so I don't know if I can do all the days again, but I want to write fics for that again. Otherwise... dunno. Will see what comes my way.

6. Which yet-to-be-started fic is first on your list?

TECHNICALLY I started one yesterday does that count? Etsusa Bridge my beloved, I'm writing a fic for my trash dogs, as it is 2024 here, which means they arrived on that nameless island in the middle of Etsusa Bridge ten years ago. (Well. It'll be ten years ago in August. Shit, I'll have to do something for that.) The current timeline where our EB fics are is 2025, so technically this is a bit further back in the timeline but shush, who is keeping track. Hayato is bemoaning his age, Seiichi is slightly melancholic. They are ridiculous.

If we are talking about things I haven't started yet I REALLY need to get on Fandomtrees treats, but also kind of want to write another Etsusa Bridge thing more about just Seiichi instead of both dogs but talking about it would be spoilery as it takes place around the beginning of the fourth book. Haven't decided which one I go for yet I'm in a bit of an island buzz now so we'll see.

Thank you!

Yaupon Fruit Market — Forecast(2024–2030)

Yaupon Fruit Market Overview :

The Global Yaupon Fruit Market size is predicted to reach $10 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period 2024–2030. Rising demand for natural and organic products and increasing availability of yaupon fruit products are propelling the Yaupon Fruit Market growth.

Additionally, the significant innovation in product development such as Yaupon-based energy drinks and Yaupon-infused beer. Additionally, Yaupon leaves blended with other herbs and fruits to create unique and flavorful tea blends which are creating substantial growth opportunities for the Yaupon Fruit Market. According to Statistics Canada, total investments in building construction in November 2022 was $20.4 billion. These factors positively influence the Yaupon Fruit industry outlook during the forecast period.

Request Sample

COVID-19 / Ukraine Crisis — Impact Analysis :

● The Yaupon fruit market experienced both challenges and opportunities amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Supply chain disruptions and logistical issues initially posed obstacles, affecting production and distribution. However, the rising demand for immune-boosting and natural products during the health crisis became an advantageous trend for Yaupon. Consumers, increasingly health-conscious, sought functional and locally-sourced options. As Yaupon is known for its potential health benefits and sustainability, it gained traction. The pandemic accelerated the shift toward wellness-focused choices, positioning Yaupon as a resilient player in a changing market landscape, capitalizing on heightened consumer awareness of health and sustainability.

Key Takeaways :

● Fastest Growth of North America Region

The demand for yaupon, a native North American holly plant used for tea production, is steadily increasing due to its unique flavor profile, caffeine content, and potential health benefits. As consumers seek alternatives to traditional tea, yaupon’s rise is fueled by its antioxidant-rich nature and sustainability. Its cultivation supports local economies and biodiversity. Businesses are capitalizing on the plant’s versatility, incorporating it into various products beyond tea, such as energy drinks and skincare items. With a growing market recognizing its cultural and ecological significance, yaupon represents a promising investment opportunity in the North American.

Inquiry Before Buying

● Luxury Yaupon-based Tea is Leading the Market

Yaupon holly yields a diverse range of products, including yaupon tea, extracts, beverages, and culinary items. Yaupon tea commands the largest demand due to its rising popularity as a sustainable and caffeine-rich alternative to traditional teas. Consumers are drawn to its unique flavor profile akin to green tea, coupled with the plant’s native and eco-friendly appeal. The tea’s versatility, coupled with an increasing demand for natural, locally-sourced beverages, positions it as a frontrunner in the yaupon market. As consumer preferences pivot towards health-conscious and environmentally-friendly choices, yaupon tea stands out as a sought-after and market-leading product.

● Rising Demand for Natural and Organic Products

More consumers become aware of the health benefits of natural and organic products and seek out natural and organic products as a part of a healthy lifestyle. The availability of these products is increasing both in physical stores and online, which makes it easier for consumers to access and purchase these products. This demand is driving the Yaupon Fruit Market growth.

Buy Now

● Adoption of Herbal Teas

Yaupon fruit is a popular ingredient in herbal teas owing to its caffeine content and health benefits. It contains antioxidants, poly-phenols and other compounds that have associated with various health benefits such as reducing inflammation and boosting the immune system.

● Limited Consumer Awareness Hamper the Market Growth

Yaupon fruit is a relatively new product and many consumers are not familiar with its taste, benefits and uses. Limited consumer awareness makes it challenging for companies to market and promote their products effectively. This factor impedes the Yaupon Fruit Market growth.

🤔BERITA 757 | KAJIAN GISB PERNAH DIBENTANG, TIADA TINDAKAN DIAMBIL - DR. MAZA🤔#2024 #S_DR._MAZA "Memalukan sikap sambil lewa pelbagai pihak, termasuk Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM) dan pihak penguat kuasa, yang tidak mengambil tindakan selepas diberitahu tentang aktiviti Global Equan Servis dan Business Holly JSP. Mufti Perlis, Datuk Dr. Mohamad Asri Zainul Abidin (Dr. Maza), mendakwa isu GISB mula dibangkitkan apabila terdapat kumpulan yang membuat kajian mengenai kes tersebut. Mereka bertemu beberapa pihak bertanggungjawab, namun tiada satu pun yang mengambil tindakan. Menurut laporan Berita Harian, Dr. Maza berkata isu ini mungkin tidak diangkat kerana beberapa pihak enggan mengambil risiko. Ada juga individu yang tidak mempunyai keberanian untuk menyelesaikan isu ini. Kumpulan yang membuat kajian kemudiannya membentangkan kes tersebut kepada Jawatankuasa Fatwa Perlis. Beliau berkata demikian ketika menjawab soalan wartawan mengenai bagaimana Perlis membawa isu tersebut ke peringkat nasional. Dr. Maza juga mendedahkan bahawa beliau telah menghantar surat kepada pemimpin GISB untuk mengadakan pertemuan di Perlis, dan mereka telah bersetuju untuk hadir. Sementara itu, Pesuruhjaya Kanak-Kanak OCC, Dr. Farah Nini Dusuki, menyatakan bahawa jenayah dan eksploitasi terhadap kanak-kanak yang berselindung di sebalik nama agama amat memalukan. Rumah amal tersebut telah beroperasi bertahun-tahun tanpa dikesan, dan eksploitasi yang tidak bermoral berlaku di dalamnya. Farah menambah bahawa suatu operasi khas perlu dijalankan untuk memeriksa rumah amal dan pusat asuhan bagi memastikan semua institusi mematuhi piawaian Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat (JKM). Satu jawatankuasa khas perlu ditubuhkan di bawah Majlis Keselamatan Negara (MKN) untuk mengkaji strategi bersepadu dalam menangani jenayah ini. Farah turut mengesyorkan penekanan diberikan kepada rawatan kaunseling dan psikologi terhadap mangsa bagi membantu memulihkan trauma mereka. Sebelum ini, GISB terpalit dengan kontroversi eksploitasi kanak-kanak sebagai pekerja. 20 premis yang dikaitkan dengan syarikat tersebut diserbu polis, dan 402 kanak-kanak serta remaja berusia 1 hingga 17 tahun diselamatkan, manakala 171 individu, termasuk ustaz yang mengendalikan premis tersebut, ditahan untuk siasatan lanjut...." https://penuntutilmu.net/soal-jawab-pt/berita-757-kajian-gisb-pernah-dibentang-tiada-tindakan-diambil-dr-maza/?feed_id=991&_unique_id=66e9520447952 Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/penuntutilmu.net/ Telegram Channel: https://t.me/PenuntutIlmuDotNet Thread: https://www.threads.net/@penuntutilmudotnet

Holly Poly Helpers Wanted

Holly Poly is, as the name implies, an exchange for polyamorous relationships. OT3s, OT4s, OT6s, orgies, open relationships, sedoretus, whatever strikes your fancy, as long as it involves three or more entities.

As the event keeps growing every year, we've come to the realization that it's necessary to get more help to deliver the best experience to this year's participants.

Currently, we're looking for 4+ people who can help us with mod duties during this exchange. Below, you can find the different areas where we need help. You can choose to help only with one task, which is why we're including the timeframe for each task as well.

Helpers must be 18+ and be comfortable reviewing all types of content.

We're looking for help with the following tasks:

Help with tagset and nominations (October 2024): This would be checking tagset sanity for both the 2023 tagset and the final 2024 tagset, checking nominations validity and formatting, helping with any editing from the 2023 tagset to the 2024 tagset (i.e. new disambiguations)

Help with social media announcements and pinch hit formatting for those (Mid October 2024-January 2025): We currently use twitter, tumblr, discord, dreamwidth and google groups. If you are proficient in one specific social media site, please let us know.

Help reading/looking over works (Late December 2024-January 2025): This would be checking for Do Not Wants/request fulfilment and completion of stories

If you're interested, please comment on the DW announcement post. All comments are screened.

[holly-poly]

Pre-Nominations have started!

Every year new fandoms and relationships get nominated to Holly Poly. We're happy to see the event grow and reach new audiences, however, we also need to keep the tagset a reasonable size to avoid issues at a future time, which is why we will not be importing all of the 2023 tagset for the 2024 exchange.  For this reason, we also ask that you consider if the fandom/relationships you're transferring are some that you are serious about requesting or offering for this year's exchange.

Remember that we will also have our regular nominations period, where you will be able to nominate up to 10 fandoms with 10 relationships each. If you only have a handful of fandoms/relationships to nominate and are confident about nominating through AO3, you can wait for our regular nominations period if you want to.

Since the format of nominations is not changing, we'll be transferring fandoms/relationship tags from last year's tagset to this year's tagset upon request.

For instructions and examples on how to do this, please check our Pre-Nominations announcement post [LINK].

What are Nominations?

This is the period where we add fandoms and relationships into the tagset so you can request them during signups. If you want to participate in Holly Poly, you must nominate the fandoms and relationships you want to request and offer.

Remember that this year, the schedule is as follows:

12 October - 21 October: Pre-nominations. (Period to transfer nominations from last year’s tagset into this tagset) — NEW 22 October - 02 November: Nominations 02 November - 05 November: Nominations clean up 05 November - 19 November: Signups

If you have any questions about the process, please leave a comment on the announcement post [LINK].

[holly-poly]

Nominations Open

Nominations are open, and they'll stay open through 11:00am UTC on 2 November - you can see a countdown timer at this link. You're allowed to nominate up to 10 fandoms, with up to 10 relationships per fandom. This year we have imported a subset of the tagset from Holly Poly 2023 via our pre-nominations phase to try and reduce the workload for us mods - please make sure to check the tagset before you nominate a ship to see if it is already included in the tagset. We recommend expanding all tagset categories before searching the page for any ships since some fandoms may not be in the section you expect due to us using slightly different fandom tags in some cases.

The tag set is located here: https://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/21262

You can also view this year's tagset on AO3 Automagic app at the link below to more easily search for ships included in it already, but it needs a re-scrape requested periodically to ensure it's up to date: https://autoao3app.fandom.tools/#/holly_poly_2024/tagset

In order to nominate a relationship, simply click the Nominate button located in the top right-hand corner of the tag set. If you do not have an account on the AO3, please let us know, and we should be able to get you an invite. On a similar note, if you have any questions, or if you're nominating something that you think might be confusing, please either post a comment to this post or send an e-mail to holly.poly.exchange@gmail.com if you'd rather keep it private.

For relationships that do not already have canonical tags, please nominate them in alphabetical order by last name (and, if they don't have a last name or multiple characters share a last name, then by first name). For example: Anders/Fenris/Bethany Hawke/Carver Hawke/Isabela/Merrill/Varric Tethras/Aveline Vallen, or Astrid Beck/Eadwulf Grieve/Essek Thelyss/Caleb Widogast, or Sirius Black/Remus Lupin/Nymphadora Tonks.

Please don't panic if we add some type of disambiguation to relationships that you nominate. Especially for ones where the same characters fall under different fandoms (various comic fandoms, movie/TV show vs. book fandoms, etc.), as doing so helps keeps tags from wandering to fandoms where they don't belong.

This is an exchange for romantic and/or sexual relationships, not friendships, so make certain to nominate relationships that use a "/" rather than a "&". If you want to request that a relationship be asexual/queerplatonic/etc., then that's something to include in your optional details when signing up.

Please make sure to read through the extra information below as some fandom disambiguations have changed since last year. In general, when nominating a fandom or ship consider whether there are multiple sources/versions and how to nominate in a way that makes it clearest which version you want.

Please nominate original works under Original Work for the fandom.

Please nominate crossovers under Crossover - Fandom for the fandom. List characters in alphabetical order by last name (and, if they don't have a last name or multiple characters share a last name, then by first name), and please put the fandom or a clear abbreviation of it after the character name. For example: Thirteenth Doctor (Doctor Who)/Ms. Frizzle (Magic School Bus)/Mary Poppins (Mary Poppins), or Female Hawke (Dragon Age)/Male Hawke (Dragon Age)/Female Shepard (Mass Effect)/Male Shepard (Mass Effect), or Hal Jordan (Green Lantern 2011)/Ryan Reynolds (RPF)/Wade Wilson (Deadpool Movieverse). If you have any crossover ships that hit the 100 character tag length limit, you can abbreviate the fandom names or leave out surnames to condense it down so long as it will still be clear which characters in the fandom and which fandoms you mean. If there's any ships that are still difficult to do that for or you're not sure if it will be clear to us/others, do let us know the ship by either commenting here or emailing us and we'll try to figure out a way to condense it.

Please nominate all relationships involving characters from the MCU movies, Agents of SHIELD, Agent Carter, Hulu Marvel series, Netflix Marvel series, and/or Disney+ Marvel series under Marvel Cinematic Universe. If you nominate a ship with Peter Parker in for MCU we will assume you mean Tom Holland's Peter Parker unless stated otherwise. If you want to nominate a ship with one of the other Peter Parkers in for the MCU please use "Peter Parker (SM 2002 Tobey Maguire)" or "Peter Parker (TASM 2012 Andrew Garfield)" - you can shorten the fandom disambiguation in the brackets if you run out of character limit but it still needs to be obvious which Peter Parker you mean. For Peter Parker ships in crossover - Fandom you will need to state which Peter you mean in each instance, identified by the specific film or comicsverse, with Tom Holland's version as Peter Parker (MCU).

Please nominate all of the X-Men movies under X-Men (Original Timeline Movies), X-Men (Alternate Timeline Movies), and Deadpool (Movieverse). The Wolverine movies go in Original Timeline. Any relationships featuring characters from movies that fall under different categories should be nominated as a Crossover.

Please nominate Marvel comics under the universe they belong to: Marvel 616, Marvel Adventures, MC2, X-Men Evolution (Comics), etc. If you feel the specific title they're from is complicated enough that it should be listed separately, please either leave a comment or send an e-mail with more information. Characters like America Chavez who are originally from another universe but canonically spend time in a different one can be included as part of relationships requested for either universe.

Please nominate standalone Marvel movies/TV shows such as Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes or X-Men Evolution (Cartoon) separately under the name of the specific movie/show.

Please nominate DC films set in the current movie universe (Man of Steel, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, Justice League, Aquaman, Shazam!, Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman 1984, and The Suicide Squad) under DC Extended Universe.

Please nominate relationships from various DC comics under DCU (Comics). If you feel the specific title they're from is complicated enough that it should be listed separately, please either leave a comment or send an e-mail with more information.

Please nominate standalone DC movies/TV shows such as Birds of Prey (TV), Gotham, and Smallville separately as individual fandoms.

Please nominate the various DC shows on The CW (Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Black Lightning, Batwoman, and Superman & Lois) under DC's Arrowverse. Relationships including characters from The Arrowverse as well as from other DC shows like Birds of Prey or Smallville who appear due to crossover events can be nominated under this umbrella fandom, while relationships solely from Birds of Prey, Smallville, and the like should be nominated separately under the name of the show they're from. Crossover relationships featuring characters from other DC shows who do not canonically appear in The Arrowverse, even if other characters from that show do, should still be nominated under Crossovers. If nominating ships where the canonical tag uses "Behrad Tomaz | Behrad Tarazi" please change the character name to one or the other to specify which timeline Behrad you mean.

Please nominate the various cartoons considered part of the DCAU (Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, The New Batman Adventures, Batman Beyond, Static Shock, The Zeta Project, Justice League, and Justice League Unlimited) under DC Animated Universe (Timmverse).

Please nominate everything set in the Doctor Who universe under Doctor Who (including Big Finish Audios, Class, Sarah Jane Adventures, and Torchwood). For characters that have multiple incarnations, please specify which you mean by number or actor, e.g. "First Doctor" or "The Master (Simm)". If you don't mind which version, please add "(any)" after the character name, e.g. "The Doctor (any)".

Please nominate The Good Wife and The Good Fight under The Good Wife & Related Fandoms.

Please nominate Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, Chicago PD and Chicago Justice under One Chicago.

Please nominate Tolkien fandoms under Middle Earth – J.R.R. Tolkien or Middle Earth (Movies) or The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (TV 2022), depending on whether you want bookverse, movieverse or the new showverse. The Silmarillion would fall under the books. Any relationships featuring a mixture of movie, book or show canon (which would include anything set in the movies but with characters who aren't in them, such as Elladan, Elrohir, Glorfindel, etc.) should be nominated as a Crossover; please specify which characterization you want for any characters who are in more than one of the bookverse, movieverse or showverse, ie. Aragorn (movies)/Elladan/Elrohir.

Please nominate One Piece (TV) separately from One Piece (Anime & Manga).

Please nominate The Wheel of Time (TV) separately from the book fandom Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan.

Please nominate Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021) separately from League of Legends (Video Games).

Please nominate Percy Jackson and the Olympians (TV) separately from Percy Jackson & The Olympians (Movies) and the book fandom of Percy Jackson and the Olympians - Rick Riordan. If you want to nominate a ship from a specific book series please add the series acronym after the ship details, e.g. (PJO Books), (THOO Books) etc.

Please nominate the Star Trek TV shows (live action or animated) under Star Trek: Classic Timeline and AOS under Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)‎. For ships that include characters that are in both Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds or Star Trek: Discovery, we will assume the TOS version is meant by default - if you want to specify the SNW version please add "(SNW)" after the character name(s) to differentiate from TOS version, e.g. "Christine Chapel (SNW)/Spock (SNW)/T'Pring (SNW)" and for Discovery please add "(Disco)" after the character name. If the ship has a mix of TOS and SNW/Discovery character versions, please add SNW or Disco or TOS in brackets after each of the character names that need clarification. Any relationships featuring characters from both the original timeline and AOS (other than those who canonically are in both of them like Spock) should be nominated under Crossover - Fandom

Please nominate Stargate SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis, and Stargate Universe under Stargate - All Media Types.

Please nominate Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel: The Series, and the assorted spinoffs (including Fray and other comics) under Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Related Fandoms.

Please nominate all of the Dragon Age video games and books under Dragon Age - All Media Types.

Please nominate all of the Mass Effect video games and books under Mass Affect - All Media Types.

Please nominate anything Star Wars related under Star Wars - All Media Types.

Please nominate Game of Thrones (TV) and A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin and House of the Dragon (TV) as separate fandoms.

Please nominate Wiedźmin | The Witcher (Video Game), The Witcher (TV), and Wiedźmin | The Witcher Series - Andrzej Sapkowski as separate fandoms. Use the appropriate names for characters based on the source rather than the longer canonical tags that include multiple names (ie, for the TV show it would be Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier/Yennefer of Vengerberg rather than the canonical tag of Geralt z Rivii | Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier | Dandelion/Yennefer z Vengerbergu | Yennefer of Vengerberg or for the video games it would be Dandelion/Eskel/Geralt of Rivia rather than the canonical tag of Eskel/Geralt z Rivii | Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier | Dandelion).

Please nominate anything related to Once Upon a Time or Once Upon a Time in Wonderland under Once Upon a Time (TV).

Please separate anything related to the Power Rangers television shows under Power Rangers (TV), the comics under Power Rangers (Comics), and the more recent(ish) movie under Power Rangers (2017).

Please nominate anything set in Exandria under Critical Role (Web Series), including Exandria Unlimited and one shots such as The Screw Job or The Darrington Brigade. Non-Exandria one shots such as Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Crystal Palace should be nominated under their own names. The Legend of Vox Machina (Cartoon) should also be nominated separately.

Please nominate Yu-Gi-Oh! fandoms under their individual series names, unless you have ships that cross several series in which case you can nominate under Yu-Gi-Oh! - All Media Types.

Please nominate relationships featuring characters from various Disney/Pixar animated titles (ie, Jasmine/Megara/Mulan or Jafar/Maleficent/Ursula) under Disney - All Media Types. Relationships featuring characters from a single Disney and/or Pixar movie can be nominated under the specific movie/movie series name (ie, Cobra Bubbles/David Kawena/Nani Pelekai would be nominated under Lilo & Stitch (2002)).

Please nominate Teen Wolf (TV) or Teen Wolf: The Movie (2023) under Teen Wolf (Jeff Davis) - if you don't want the movie events mentioned for your gift please mention it as Do Not Want in request details when signing up. Other Teen Wolf movie ships should be nominated under Teen Wolf (1980s Movies). Anything crossing over the Jeff Davis verse with the original movies should be nominated under Crossover - Fandom. 

Please nominate both original movie and book Harry Potter ships under Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling but ships from the Fantastic Beasts movie series should be nominated separately under Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (Movies). Anything crossing over both should be nominated under Crossover - Fandom. Please nominate both Leverage (2008) and Leverage: Redemption (2021) under Leverage (US TV) and Leverage (2019) under Leverage (Korea).

For what was previously Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, this has now been separated out into the following three fandoms in our tagset. Final Fantasy VII (Video Game 1997), Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth (Video Games 2020-2024), and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. Anything crossing over two or more Final Fantasy fandoms should be nominated under Crossover - Fandom.

For what was previously Mortal Kombat (Video Games) this has now been separated out into Mortal Kombat (Video Games 1992-2020) and Mortal Kombat (Video Games 2023-). Please nominate the Avatar: The Last Airbender cartoon, as well as the related ATLA comics, under Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005), the new live action TV series under Avatar: The Last Airbender (Netflix) and the live action movie under The Last Airbender (2010).

Please note that while [Specific Character]/[Specific Group of Characters] is acceptable as a nomination, [Specific Character]/Everyone is too broad.

For example: Lex Luthor/Lionel Luthor's Board Members is acceptable because "Lionel Luthor's Board Members" involves a finite group of people. The same goes for Voldemort/Death Eaters, Shipwrecked Sailor/Mermaids, and Peter Pan/Lost Boys. While Carol Danvers/Anyone and Everyone or Jack Harkness/Everyone He's Ever Met are understandable, they're too broad because it could essentially involve an infinite number of people.

If you have any questions about a relationship you want to nominate that might potentially be too broad, leave a comment or send an e-mail.

RPF characters must be 18+ at the time of nomination. Significant others/children/etc. of public figures are not permitted unless they are public figures in their own right. For smaller RPF fandoms, providing information/links to help us verify the characters are eligible would be appreciated and will speed up RPF noms.

If you have any questions about what fandom to use when making nominations, or any other questions in general - or if you find any errors in the tagset - please feel free to leave a comment on this post. You can also send an e-mail to holly.poly.exchange@gmail.com.

Signups delayed

Hi everyone!

We have decided to delay signups due to unforeseen issues with the tagset -mainly, checking for eligibility of the nominated relationships. Besides, there are A LOT of nominations that have not been processed due to the sheer volume of nominations we've received this year.

We expect to be able to clean up nominations and have the definite tagset soon. For the moment, signups are delayed until November 12th, but we will inform you if this changes.

[holly-poly]

Signups Open + New Schedule

The nominations are now all processed (final count: 433 fandoms and 2450 ships in the tagset) and signups are now open. They will remain so until 11:00am UTC on 02 December. Please click here to see when the deadline is for your timezone.

Due to the delay we had, we've decided to adjust some of the future dates to give you enough time to finish your gifts. 23 November - 02 December: Signups 04 December: Assignments out by this date 22 January: Default deadline 26 January: Fanworks are due 02 February: The archive goes live (as soon as everyone has a gift) 09 February: Creators revealed

The sign-up form is here. If you have any difficulties, let us know by commenting on this post or sending an e-mail to holly.poly.exchange@gmail.com.

As a reminder:

- You can request/offer 3-10 fandoms - You can request/offer 1-20 relationships per fandom - If you would like to request/offer any nominated relationship, tick the "Any" box - Make certain to choose which medium or mediums you are willing to create for each fandom

Please make sure to familiarise yourself with the updated rules and the minimums for each type of fanwork over here.

We'd like to ask you to check the tagset in its entirety before asking us about a fandom, as some fandoms have been renamed for disambiguation purposes.

Please remember that Any really does mean any. Do not request or offer Any unless you mean it. Any does not mean "any relationships except for these certain ones" or "any relationships involving this character" or "this relationship that I really like but forgot to nominate." It means any relationship whatsoever that was nominated under that fandom and is currently listed in the tag set.

It is fine to include prompts asking that a fourth/fifth/sixth/etc. character be added to the relationship you've requested. (For example, if you requested Harry/Hermione/Ron, you can include a prompt along the lines of: "... and if you want to have Neville join in, that's fine with me!") As with everything included in the Optional Details box or Dear Creator letter, though, please note that any such request is optional. Your creator is only required to create a fanwork for the specific relationship that you matched on.

Under the Requests section of the sign-up, there is a field to put a link to a Dear Creator letter if you have written one. There is also a box for Optional Details where you can put Do Not Wants, prompts, and various other details. While the optional details section of signups is optional, it is strongly suggested that participants include DNWs. Any DNWs or triggers included in the signup itself will be enforced by the mods as long as they are reasonable (ie, something that the mods can easily look for and that isn't extremely subjective).

A note on requesting All Media Types fandoms: All Media Types really means All Media Types: any version of the characters will be considered as fulfillment of the prompt. Please consider this in your sign up and add a note in the Optional Details box much like any other request. Note that any such request is optional. Your creator is only required to create a fanwork for the specific relationship that you matched on.

Any DNWs listed in letters but not the signup itself, as well as any general likes/dislikes/prompts/etc. listed in the signup or in letters, are optional for the creator.

Anyone requesting vids or other visual media is encouraged to list any accessibility requirements they have in their sign-up alongside other DNWs, such as no flashing lights, no fast-moving cuts, no high contrast, no songs by [insert artist here], etc. Please try to at least provide details about general music that you like/dislike as well if you request either vids or fanmixes. Providing aesthetic preferences for visual fanworks (including face claims if applicable for the fandom) is encouraged too, to give the person creating for you an idea of what you like.

For anyone requesting podfics, please indicate whether or not you'd like your own fanworks podficced and gifted to you. If possible, try to provide more information about your likes/dislikes as well so that the person creating a podfic for you can try to make sure the fic they're recording is one that you will enjoy.

When you submit your sign-up, there is also an Optional Details box located under the Offers section. If there is any specific topic, or rating, that is a strong DNW or trigger for you and you don't want to receive an assignment that mentions said topic even as an optional prompt, please provide details in that box. We will do our best to accommodate such requests when doing matching but cannot make any promises. You are also welcome to send an e-mail to the above address, if you prefer.

Participants will be matched on fandom, relationship, and medium (fanart, fanfic, fanvid, podfic). Please note that you only need to create a fanwork for one of the relationships requested; if you match on more than one, it is your decision which one (or ones) to choose.

Holly Poly 2024: Pre-Nominations (NEW!)

Posted by: maevedarcy holly_poly is, as the name implies, an exchange for polyamorous relationships. OT3s, OT4s, OT6s, orgies, open relationships, sedoretus, whatever strikes your fancy, as long as it involves three or more entities. What are Nominations? This is the period where we add fandoms and relationships into the tagset so you can request them during signups. If you want to participate in Holly Poly, you must nominate the fandoms and relationships you want to request and offer. So Pre-Nominations are...? Because if we import the tagset every year we will end up with an enormous tagset, this year we’ll be transferring fandoms/relationship tags from last year’s tagset to this year’s tagset upon request. For instructions and examples on how to do this, please check our Pre-Nominations announcement post. Schedule 08 October - 21 October: Pre-nominations. 22 October - 02 November: Nominations 05 November - 19 November: Signups Collection: https://ao3.org/collections/holly_poly_2024 Tag Set: https://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/21262 Twitter: https://twitter.com/holly_poly_ex Dreamwidth: holly_poly  Tumblr: holly-poly comments via The Fandom Calendar https://ift.tt/uWw18hP
