AO3 Server naming festival: nominations post!
ETA: Nominations are now closed. Thanks for your suggestions! Watch this space for the opportunity to vote on the final picks!
Server naming festival! Nominate names for our new servers here!
You can suggest just one name, or you can submit a full set of seven names (maybe with a theme!). Optionally, you can give a short explanation of why the name[s] would fit / where they come from. This would be particularly appreciated if the name is drawn from a less well-known source, particularly if it is a source not in English (we would LOVE some names from sources not in English and our nominations panel will be international, but sources in languages other than English are harder to research).
There are seven machines to be named- please let us know which machine you would like the name to go to. You can see their full details in Meet the Machines - in your entry please use the short names below:
You can submit names in the following ways:
Nominations should be in the following format:
Name - Machine - Other optional comments / source
For example:
Elsie - DB - She was the best sister in 'What Katy Did', and the cleverest!
For more details see our post on the Server naming festival!
