Ineligible Pairings

[keita52]

We’ve had a few nominations come through that had to be rejected, and so far there have really only been two reasons: 1) The pairing has more than 300 completed works on Ao3 and thus is not considered rare (Example: Cassandra/Varric and Isabela/F!Hawke); 2) The pairing includes “Warden” or “Inquisitor” instead of a specific background. So, please, when nominating, remember to specify a background. The following pairings could have been accepted if they had been more specific:

• Male Inquisitor/Dorian Pavus (M!Trevelyan and M!Lavellan are ineligible; M!Cadash has been approved and M!Adaar is eligible.)
• Alistair/Zevran Arainai/Male Warden (M!Surana has been approved; all other backgrounds are eligible)
• Anders/Female Warden (Anders/F!Surana has been approved; all other backgrounds are eligible)
• Female Inquisitor/Isabela/Leliana (All backgrounds are eligible)
• Female Inquisitor/Leliana (F!Trevelyan and F!Lavellan have been approved; F!Cadash and F!Adaar are eligible)
• Leliana/Morrigan/Female Warden (All backgrounds are eligible)

A non-comprehensive list of pairings with over 300 completed works on Ao3 is below the cut. The mods tried to grab them all, but there may have been one or two that slipped through the cracks, so we’ll keep checking as they come in.
