Slight deadline extension
Aug. 13th, 2022 06:18 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Hi participants,
Mod is likely to be driving at the original deadline time tonight, so there is a slight extension. The new deadline, when works are due and AWOL creators who have neither submitted an assignment nor requested an extension will be defaulted, will be no earlier than 2am Eastern. This does not apply to any extended deadlines that have been granted on an individual basis.
Can’t wait to see all your works!

Nominations Closed; Final Queries
May. 29th, 2022 01:06 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Nominations are now closed.
Please let us know if there are any other problems with the tagset. It's looking great!
- Outstanding nominations under Star Wars: All Media Types have been approved under at least one relevant fandom (even if it is showing as rejected for you).
Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Will the nomination of "F!Clone Troopers & None" be clear to people offering or requesting the fandom, as something that either refers collectively to several specific characters (Rex, Cody, etc.) or to the entire body of clone troops? We get that with clones being what they are, both of those things would be true with either interpretation of this tag, but we're trying to make sure that people using the tag share the same understanding of what they will be writing/drawing/receiving.
Absent any communication, we approved this as-is, hopefully you all know what you're doing.
Please let us know if there are any other problems with the tagset. It's looking great!
Nomination Queries Again!
May. 23rd, 2022 12:13 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
- It is not clear to us whether "Court admirers" and "Mob," in nominations for Tortall and Phoenix Wright respectively, refer to specific characters who are being grouped for convenience, or to OCs for a specific prompt or scenario. If you intended the latter, please nominate your genderswapped character "& None" and prompt in your optional details for the scenarios that interest you. If you disagree, please discuss!
Last year, we approved Percy Jackson - All Media Types with the understanding that it was not meant to encompass the films or stage play, because it seemed to be the only umbrella tag for Percy Jackson and the Olympians (already approved), The Heroes of Olympus (pending with some of the same characters) and so forth. Nominator or other interested parties, should we handle it the same way this year?Final Fantasy XII: We're a little confused about what the "Ivalice Alliance" parenthetical is meant to convey. We've gathered that the nominated characters appear in the main FFXII game and also in a side game of that name.X-Men Original Trilogy: We can tell what movies this refers to, but we don't know them or why they would be considered a separate fandom from the (canonical) X-Men Movieverse tag. In the past, we have approved the X-Men Movieverse as a fandom, with alternate-timeline versions of characters noted separately where necessary. Can the nominator or anyone else advise?- There are outstanding issues with Star Wars - All Media Types.
More Nominations Queries
May. 18th, 2022 10:37 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Thanks everyone for your help resolving previous questions!
Thanks!
EDIT: forgot one
- We are creating a Star Wars Crossovers "fandom" for Star Wars ships whose characters do not appear in the same subfandom/division (for example, Cassian Andor and Han Solo). This is meant to be used in order to avoid tossing relationships into the general Crossover Fandom bucket when the characters technically are in the same continuity even though they never meet. Crossovers between Star Wars and an unrelated fandom should still go under Crossover Fandom.
- Since this is being created, we still do not anticipate approving Star Wars - All Media Types. If you used this fandom to nominate one or more relationships between characters who appear together in Star Wars canon, please move those ships to The Mandalorian, Original Trilogy, Sequel Trilogy, etc. You are always free to request/offer more than one SW subfandom if you'd be interested in eg. Leia and Luke at any point in their life, or to request one and note your openness to other parts of their timeline in your optional details. Please fix this as it will be annoying to sort out manually.
Mass Effect: Gil Brodie and Kallo Jath are nominated under Mass Effect Trilogy, but they seem to be characters from Andromeda. Yes? (This may be due to the Mass Effect (Video Games) nom getting approved as Mass Effect Trilogy due to a separate Andromeda nomination, we just want to confirm before adding it to the right place manually.)- Ace Attorney: Original characters cannot be nominated. F!Phoenix Wright/Original Female Character(s) will be approved as F!Phoenix Wright & None if not corrected; you may prompt for OC shipping in your optional details.
- Once Upon a Time: We are not super familiar with the fandom and it's slightly unclear whether your "M!Fairies" nomination refers to male versions of a bunch of specific female fairy characters that are not enumerated individually, or to flipping the whole fairy species to male. Is your wording something that a person interested in offering or requesting the fandom will find sufficiently clear?
The previous post has an outstanding query about X-Men/Marvel Comics.Also Marvel/MCU - while we've approved Moon Knight separately, we've also received some conflicting indications in the nominations about how to handle Marvel shows that are more closely tied to the films and the characters who star in the films, such as Hawkeye (currently nominated separately), or WandaVision and Falcon and the Winter Soldier (these have not been nominated separately but there have been Bucky/Sam, Wanda/Vision, Zeno etc. nominations under MCU). Can people involved in these fandoms offer any guidance?Sherlock Holmes nominator, if you do not edit your nomination to include genderswapped characters then mods will either reject it or decide what to put in the tagset at the end of nominations.
Thanks!
EDIT: forgot one
- Stargate! We absentmindedly approved an All Media Types batch that contained both SG-1 and Atlantis characters. Mods aren't very familiar with Stargate and have the vague impression that they're technically a single continuity but generally separated out because people are interested in different installments. Should these be separated into Atlantis and SG-1, or combined?
Nominations Cleanup Day Two!
May. 14th, 2022 09:47 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
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.
Things that are not clarifications but will help us:
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?
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
If you nominated any of the following fandoms, please fix your nominations!
- If you nominated a character swapped to their canonical gender, please fix this or post in the evidence post. It is not necessary to mark characters as their canonical gender; only characters being swapped need an "F!", "M!", or "NB!" marker. This applies to Frozen, RWBY, Portal, Miraculous Ladybug, Kim Possible, Voltron Legendary Defender, Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, and possibly others. (Nominator, please also add surnames where characters have them; it will make things go much quicker.)
- If your nomination does not include any genderswapped characters, please fix this. This applies to Sherlock Holmes and possibly others.
- If you nominated an All Media Types fandom with various versions or adaptations, please fix this. All Media Types nominations are admissible for continuities that exist across several different media, not for canons where someone might have a preference for the book version, film version, etc. This applies to Chronicles of Narnia - All Media Types and possibly others.
Thank you!
Nominations Open!
May. 12th, 2022 11:00 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
The tagset is open for nominations! You can nominate 10 fandoms, with 10 relationships in each.
Please see the Rules if you have questions about character eligibility or about how to handle fandoms with common subdivisions or All Media Types, and the Evidence Post if there is anything you need to post evidence for.
You are not required to disambiguate all your nominations, but it may be helpful to do so if you are nominating a ship that exists in multiple fandoms or versions - eg. F!Dracula/F!Jonathan Harker (novel) or F!Dracula/F!Jonathan Harker (1958 film).
