🌒 Nomination BINGO Game 🌓 Tracking sheet for reading nominations 🌔Connect via Discord/Links

It's time for 2.5 exciting months of reading and choosing our favourite Snupin fics from the nominations! (See below for FAQs and information on how authors can opt out of the project.) Voting: March 10th to May 10th May 31st (extended!) Release of lists: June 10th

📜 Voting Google Form

How to vote

Read (at least) the Excerpts of the 79 candidate fics in the AO3 Collection (you can also browse via our Nominated Fics List)

Submit your favourite ten Snupin fics (preferably in alphabetical order) via the Google Form

Also via the form; add some Notes about why you like the fic (and make sure to leave comments for the authors if you can). We will share some of these notes with everyone.

Reminder that voting results will be posted anonymously; your username won't be associated with your choices.

Bonus tool! 🗒️(optional, for personal use) Use our Tracking Sheet to track your reading if you want! It's just an optional tool. You can track which fics you're interested in reading fully, whether you kudos/commented, and whether the fic might make your favourite ten list.   For personal use: we aren't going to look at this! You don't submit this. Just make a copy if you want to use it.

List release

For the project list release on June 10th, some of the things we will share are:

Lists of people's ten favourites will be posted as nifty graphics! (anonymously - your username will not be attached to your top ten selection; though we encourage you to save and repost them with your username if you'd like).

"Fics That Made It Into the Most People's Top Ten" list, a highlight of some of the community's favourite Snupin fics as of 2025.

All 79 fics will be presented in a Master List (likely on tumblr/as a PDF/as a spreadsheet as well as remaining on the AO3 Collection).

Plus more lists! If we can, we may break the results down into a few more lists like "Favourite Fics Under 10,000 Words" or "Favourite Explicit Fics" etc

FAQ

🌓 Do I need to read the entirety of a fic before I add it to my favourite ten list?

Nope! But the more you can fully read, the better. The form has an option to indicate whether you've fully read a fic, just for our interests sake. If there's a fic that you think looks really up your alley, and you've read its Excerpt (and maybe a few chapters to get the feel for it), you can add it to your favourite ten list.

🌓 Do I have to kudos and/or comment?

No, it's not necessary but highly encouraged.

🌓 Do I have to submit TEN favourite fics?

No; if you only want to list 1 as a favourite fic, that is also fine, but, where's the fun in that?? We want to celebrate lots of fics!

🌓 I didn't nominate, can I vote?

Yes, even if you didn't submit nominations, we are happy to hear your favourite fics from the nominated pool of fics!

🌓 Do I have to submit them in alphabetical order?

Not necessary, but if you have time to, it might help us organise things to present them in alphabetical order later.

🌓 I missed the nomination period! Can I still nominate a fic?

Sorry, but we'll be focusing on these 79 nominated fics. However, we will soon have an "additional recommended fics" list with a simpler submission form. Those won't be eligible for voting as a favourite, but we will collect them on the blog until June (when the project wraps up).

For other answers to general project questions, check the navigation links at the end of the post.

Opt Out for Authors

At any time between March 10th to June 9th 2025, you may opt out of having your work included in the voting/the final list. Email [email protected] to discuss, we will ask for some proof that you are the author (such as editing the Author's Note on the work). After the final list is posted, you may also email us about getting your work redacted from the list where possible. See Rules, Info, Etiquette for more information.

Hello Snupin lovers! Just a note to say that more details are upcoming, the Voting Phase will be announced March 10th! Remember (as stated on the Etiquette section), the final list will have aaaall nominated fics, but the voting is just to see which float to the top as favourites amongst the people in this current little corner of Snupin fandom in 2025. It's all for fun and Snupin signalboosting 💛  And I also (eventually/soon) hope to create a simplified form called "It’s never too late to recommend a fic" which will be open until the end of this project. Basically it will be for people who missed Nomination period; the fics listed there won't be included in the main project list, but they can have a home here as well as 'other recs'.
