Additionally, regarding a fic/art with threesomes, the characters cannot be part of a popular "off limit" pairing. For example, you can have Neville/Harry, or Neville/Draco, but we do not allow Neville/Harry/Draco.

Does the tag need to be in English? The reason I ask is I was looking at Seamus Finnigan/Dean Thomas, slightly surprised it wasn't on the list. In English, there are 2435 works but overall they're at 2547.

Hi! We do not limit it to English works. We just haven't updated this list in a year! Thank you for the heads up, we'll add Seamus/Dean to the list (although of course, since it wasn't on the list when you wrote your fic for the winter prompt event, no worries on that front!)
