Nominations CLOSED

[pocketmouse]

Please go through and double check that all your nominations are in the correct fandom, have all the characters, spelling is correct, etc. Signups will open on Saturday/Friday night.

ETA: Below are metafandom-specific questions. If you nominated anything associated with these metafandoms, please check to see if there are any questions related to your nominations.


OK, enough people are saying all 5 so we'll keep them separate. In that case just make sure that the relationships you want are in the fandom you want!


Hoo boy. OK, let me see if I can recreate some of the structure of what we have:
Marvel (super-overarching covers-everything metatag)
*Marvel (Comics)
-- 616, Noir, Black Panther, Hawkeye, Next Avengers, Squirrel Girl, X-Men (Comics), Young Avengers
*MCU (no individual movies nominated)
--Agent Carter, SHIELD, Daredevil, Luke Cage
*4 Marvel movies by other studios (Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four (2005ish), and the two recent X-Men film serieses
*Avengers: EMH
*Avengers Academy
I'm assuming the general "Marvel" tag was nominated by people who don't care which canon they're pulling from, or are deliberately pulling from several (in-Marvel crossover rels are here). Is it the same for Marvel (Comics), or can that tag be eliminated and all tags assigned only to specific comics fandoms?
Please make sure all relationships are in all the fandoms you want them in!


*Supergirl is the only specific comic nominated, otherwise I've just got the general DCU (Comics). Have I missed any? Can these be placed in DCU, or not?
*DC TV shows: is there no metatag for the TV shows? There's a looot of crossover in these.
Please make sure all relationships are in all the fandoms you want them in!


All shows and AOS have been nominated, no metatags, I think is fine as is. Please double check AOS and TOS for your nominated relationships.


I've got "All Media Types" and "Original Series" nominated. I'd like to move everything to just AMT, which has all the nominated relationships from OS, plus more. [ETA: definitely will do]


Buffy/Angel: Separate, yes?
Sherlock Holmes: I've got the books and Sherlock, none of the movies. Correct? I assume we want separate. Please double check your relationships are in the correct fandoms.


*Final Fantasy: Nominated: VII, Compilation of VII, X, X-2, XII. Can any of these be combined?
*Fire Emblem: Combine all under Series metatag, yes? [ETA: yes]
*Dragon Age: I've got All Media Types and Video Games. Can I move all to AMT?

Under "The Silmarillion", the following tags: Elrond Peredhel/Erestor/Glorfindel, Legolas Greenleaf/Tauriel/Thranduil, Berúthiel (Tolkien)/Original Female Character(s), Celeborn/Galadriel | Artanis/Gandalf | Mithrandir don't belong in there (they're duplicates from other Tolkien fandoms).

Also in Fingolfin | Ñolofinwë/Fingon | Findekáno/Maedhros | Maitmo, "Maitmo" is a misspelling, it should be "Maitimo".

The other thing about Berúthiel (Tolkien)/Original Female Character(s): the tag as it is now implies that it could be a pairing and not necessarily a polyship. Did the nominator perhaps mean Berúthiel (Tolkien)/Original Female Character(s)/Original Female Character(s)(/additional OFCs?), or was the (s) meant to mean more than one? If so then I think that tag should be changed to Berúthiel (Tolkien)/Original Female Characters. I think that tag just needed to be clarified. Otherwise, +1 rest of your comment.

Unfortunately, (s) is the canonical form of that tag. If someone used the tag Beruthiel/OFC/OFC, it would get synned to the (s) tag. There are a couple other relationships that were nominated that also used collective wording, resulting in only one / in a poly tag.

You don't have to use canonicals for the tagset, though ...

[pocketmouse]

Fixed the Maitimo tag. I think for the other ones, as long as the tag is canonical in multiple fandoms in the tagset, it'll show up in all fandoms in the tagset -- you don't approve the tag associations for canonical tags.

That's weird, and has never happened in any exchange I've been in before.

I think if fans agree a certain ship doesn't go in under a certain fandom it shouldn't be there, irrespective of AO3's association mechanisms. The Tolkien fandoms aren't all one and the same.

[pocketmouse]

I can check with ADT to see if it's new, but it definitely wasn't asking me for associations for canonical tags, they never even show up in the review associations list.

[slippy]

I've seen it happen in tons of exchanges, and sometimes mods have to come up with all kinds of workarounds to make the tags stick where they're supposed to be because they just keep wandering. Usually ones like Hercules or Clark Kent, who have been in tons of canons

Nominations wandering into other fandoms yes, but not a ship tag showing up in all fandoms in the tagset where it is "canonical" (and I'm wondering how Legolas/Tauriel/Thranduil can be canonical in The Silmarillion or LOTR since Tauriel is a Hobbit-movies only character) and the mod not finding a way to fix that.

[pocketmouse]

As long as any character in the relationship tag is associated with that fandom (Thranduil and Berúthiel are both in various histories/etc, then the tag has been associated with those fandoms. To get them nominated in only one fandom, you'd have to change it to a noncanonical tag and disambiguate it to make clear what fandom specifically and ONLY you wanted. Which if the original nominator tells me what fandom(s) they intended, we could do, but as long as it's also in the correct fandom, I don't see that it's much of an issue, as I'm sure most people who are interested in Thranduil for his stuff from the Unfinished Tales aren't going to request that ship anyway.
