Please see day one if you nominated Frozen, RWBY, Portal, Miraculous Ladybug, Kim Possible, Voltron Legendary Defender, Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, or Sherlock Holmes.

  • We've received separate nominations for Buffyverse and Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV). Do people have a preference about combining Buffy and Angel under one tag or not?

  • Relatedly, a good chunk of fic for The Good Fight is cross-tagged with The Good Wife. We're happy to approve these separately but just wanted to double check.

  • Star Wars - All Media Types: please specify original, sequels, prequels, Clone Wars, etc.

  • The Americans: While we would probably, in the abstract, accept a swap that made a genderless robot or AI male, it's not clear that the Mail Robot is a character, even if (Male) Robot would be funny. Please explain your nomination and discuss if you disagree.

  • Doctor Who (2005): The Fourteenth Doctor has not yet appeared as a character and will not have appeared by the time the exchange begins (or ends). We will not accept a nomination for someone who is essentially an original character. We're willing to sit on this nomination and accept it as an art-only option if his costume is revealed by the time nominations end. Please discuss, if you disagree.

  • We've received nominations for New Dangan Ronpa V3: Everyone's New Semester of Killing, Dangan Ronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and Dangan Ronpa - All Media Types. We're not at all familiar with this canon. Bearing in mind the rule about All Media Types fandoms (a continuity that exists across multiple media such as a TV show and a tie-in novel: yes, different versions of the same story: no) and the exchange convention of breaking up eg. Star Wars into sections, how should we handle the Dangan Ronpa nominations?

  • As far as Marvel Comics is concerned, this year we've only received nominations for X-Men so far, but in previous years that's been subsumed under Marvel 616 (and the nomination period is still young). Would there be an issue with this?

  • Hetalia: Persia does not appear to be a character in this canon. Nominator, please explain.


Things that are not clarifications but will help us:
  • Again, we urge you to use characters' full names or canonical tag names if they have them; it makes the approval process much faster (eg. it's easier to eyeball "Lyndis" from Fire Emblem than "Lyn", and nominating "Leonard 'Bones' McCoy" instead of just "Bones" saves us having to correct the tag).

  • If you nominated any DC Comics fandom/adaptation, can you disambiguate your noms to save us some time?

Buffyverse nominator here, personally I strongly prefer combining both shows under one umbrella fandom. It’s a small shared universe with a lot of character overlap, and in my experience figuring out who belongs where and how to deal with crossover pairings is a big unnecessary headache when they’re separated.

Two of these are my fandoms!

For Buffy, I was the BtVS nominator. I have no preference about it being combined with Angel or not.

For Hetalia, Persia is a bit character. Here's a wiki page: https://hetalia.kitawiki.net/index.php?title=Persia

No problem! Yeah, it can be hard to tell with Hetalia characters, especially since a lot of official art is posted casually online and not very cleaned up. (And I've been confused by that fan-made character wiki myself.)

Not the nominator, but as a Dangan Ronpa fan: usually exchanges either group all of Dangan Ronpa under "Dangan Ronpa - All Media Types", or they split it into "Dangan Ronpa (Hope's Peak Arc)" and "New Dangan Ronpa V3: Everyone's New Semester of Killing".

The former (Hope's Peak Arc) covers all entries in the Dangan Ronpa series *except* New Dangan Ronpa V3. Hope's Peak Arc is its own continuity that exists across multiple media (mostly the games and anime, though there's also some associated light novels), while New Dangan Ronpa V3 is a single game that is... sort of a different continuity, but it's also not a "different version" of any earlier entry in the series; it's telling its own story.

I think either option (combining them under AMT or separating them into Hope's Peak Arc and NDRV3) is fine, although the nominators may have a preference. I feel like the AMT combination is the road more commonly taken these days, though I could be off base.

(Dangan Ronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is the first entry of the DR series, and is part of Hope's Peak Arc.)

Nominator here (I don't have a DW account), I originally put them under AMT but split them after the day one post. Personally I prefer AMT, but Hope's Peak Arc and NDRV3 would be fine too

The Good Wife/Fight

As far as tgw and tgf are concerned there’s no tag I’m aware of that combines them but the shows canonically take place in the same universe with a good portion of the same characters. If there were a way to combine them canonically that could work, but equally there are fans that will have seen one but not the other and may not want content from the other. Personally I think approving them as is would be fine, and on sign-up people could clarify which they’re (primarily) requesting or offering?

Not the nominator, but that's only because I haven't done my noms yet. I've got DCU on my list.

In most exchanges DCU (comics) is the umbrella which gets used. DCEU (for collective live action) is sometimes the category used, and often the bigger subcatgeories of liveaction or animated media will be separated as Arrowverse, The Batman, etc. But the comics have so much overlap that most of the fandom itself doesn't usually distinguish between canon comics sources to this degree.

Mainly, a lot of the fandom doesn't disambiguate any further than DCU (comics), even if they might also tag a fic centered around Nightwing with the addition of Nightwing - comics, or use Batman - comics instead of DCU.

So, no objection if we do separate the comics sources further, but DCU (comics) is the usual one used for multi-fandom exchanges.

...EDIT:
Perhaps I misread, and you meant folks adding (DCU) to their F!Dick Grayson noms... Sorry!

Ok maybe I did just think this was a stroke of comedic genius! However! In the wider fandom much has been done with the modest lil robot (including having its own twitter feed…) and it was heavily featured as a plot device (plot robot?) in at least one episode. I shall leave that to you to decide his fate

Doctor Who nominater - That’s totally fair. Unfortunately, I don’t think costume reveals are likely to be before nominations end so I will just withdraw the nomination.

I have nominated Star Wars AMT for in universe crossovers where they wouldn't accurately go under any sub-canon - do you prefer such ships in general Crossovers?

NP, seeing the query just made me wonder if I should have checked first. I have no strong opinions. Some exchanges do just use SW AMT for the crossovers, so that's fine with me, but if you think a crossover category would be clearer I'm fine with that too.

X-Men (Comics) vs Marvel 616

X-Men (Comics) nominator here!

I'd strongly prefer keeping X-Men (Comics) as its own fandom and not merging it into Marvel 616.
