Nomination Clarifications #1 + 10-Hour Warning

[purpleyin]

We're now at about 613 fandoms and 3734 ships nominated. And we've currently got another 52 fandoms to look at, plus some more ships to review for already approved fandoms.

Friendly reminder that nominations will be closing in about 10 hours! If you want to see the exact time, you can take a look at this link: Countdown to nomination closing time.


If you nominated Apollo (PJO)/Percy Jackson (PJO)/Harry Potter (Harry Potter) under crossover - Fandom, please let us know which PJO source you mean - books, movie or TV show.

If you nominated Dick Grayson (DCU)/Harry Potter (Harry Potter)/Jason Todd (Harry Potter) under crossover - Fandom, we assume you meant to type Jason Todd (DCU) there since we're not aware of a Jason Todd in Harry Potter fandom, but please can you confirm in case you meant something else or another DC canon.

If you nominated Jane Banner (Wind River)/Ardelia Mapp/Clarice Starling (Clarice) under crossover - Fandom, please let us know which canon source you mean for Ardelia Mapp, did you mean the Clarice TV show for her character as well or another source like the films or books?

If you nominated Trisana Chandler/Daja Kisubo/Briar Moss/Sandrilene fa Toren (Emelan) in Baldur's Gate 3 under crossover - Fandom, did you mean that you want that Emelan ship but in a Baldur's Gate AU/Fusion or do you mean something else? If the former, that ship is already nominated under the Emelan fandom, so you could request it with the prompt of Baldur's Gate AU/Fusion in optional details but we can't guarantee anyone would create that AU rather than simply the ship in the Emelan canon setting.

If you nominated Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter/Harry Potter under crossover - Fandom, please let us know which canon source you mean for the Hannibal characters - books, movies, TV show.

If you nominated Ray Palmer/Mick Rory/Time Remnant!Mick Rory (Arrowverse) or Ray Palmer/Mick Rory/time remnant!Ray Palmer (Arrowverse) under DC's Arrowverse, did you mean a specific time remnant character who appears in a canon episode (if so, which episode) or the general concept of a time remnant for the character?

If you nominated Jiāng Chéng | Jiāng Wǎnyín/Uchiha Sasuke/Uzumaki Naruto under Naruto, did you mean for this to be a crossover - Fandom ship instead as we couldn't find Jiāng Chéng | Jiāng Wǎnyín listed as a Naruto character, only for other fandoms like The Untamed and 魔道祖师 | Módào Zǔshī (Cartoon).

If you nominated Jack Harper/Vika Olsen/Vika Olsen under Oblivion (2013), we're assuming one of the Victoria "Vika" Olsen's is the clone version of her mentioned on wikipedia for the film, but please can you confirm in case there's more versions of her character we're not aware of. But also which Jack Harper is this - Tech 49 or Tech 52 version?

If you nominated Sheltered Young Prince/Prince's Loyal Knight/Prince's Arranged Marriage Husband under Original Work, do you have an expectation for the gender of the knight or will any gender interpretation be okay with you?

If you nominated any ships under the fandom DCU, please can you tell us which canon you meant for each ship since that AO3 fandom tag covers multiple DC canons - did you mean DCU Comics, DC Extended Universe, DC Animated Universe (Timmverse), DC's Arrowerse, or another DCU canon?

If you nominated any ships under the fandom The Lord of the Rings - All Media Types, can you let us know which ships are yours and why you nominated them under All Media Types, since usually we ask people to specify whether they mean Middle Earth – J.R.R. Tolkien or Middle Earth (Movies) or The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (TV 2022). If you do want to nominate under all media types you will need to accept you may get any canon interpretation for the characters. If you want a ship with a mix of characters from different LOTR canons, then crossover - Fandom would allow you to specify what LOTR canon source for each character.

If you nominated any ships under the fandom Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types, can you let us know which ships are yours and why you nominated them under All Media Types, since usually we ask people to specify whether they mean The Witcher TV, books, or games. If you do want to nominate under all media types you will need to accept you may get any canon interpretation for the characters. If you want a ship with a mix of characters from different Witcher canons, then crossover - Fandom would allow you to specify what Witcher canon source for each character.

If you nominated any ships under the fandom The Vampire Diaries & Related Fandoms, please can you tell us which canon source you meant for each ship since that AO3 fandom tag covers both TV and the books. We already have The Vampire Diaries (TV) in the tagset but we don't want to fold these ships into that fandom without checking which are actually for the TV show as well.

I had nominated The Lord of the Rings - All Media Types. I changed the fandom to Middle Earth – J.R.R. Tolkien

Apollo (PJO)/Percy Jackson (PJO)/Harry Potter (Harry Potter) - PJO books, please!

Dick Grayson (DCU)/Harry Potter (Harry Potter)/Jason Todd (Harry Potter) - Sorry, I did mean DCU for Jason Todd.

Sorry about the confusion!

Time Remnant characters nominator here. I'd be cool with any TR! Mick or Ray from any episode or original ones. I'm not picky.

Thanks for the clarification, approved now.

I commented on Tumblr, reblogged actually.

I'm not your original nominator for The Witcher- All Media Types, but I also nominated under All Media Types, specifically Jaskier/witchers, Geralt/Eskel/Jaskier, Geralt/Eskel/Lambert, Geralt/Eskel/Lambert/Jaskier, Geralt/Eskel/Lambert/Aiden, I think.

I am cool with any canon interpretation, partially because within the fandom, those ships are sort of technically crossovers and will usually preselect folks who share a similar "canon".

(If you are interested- the first season of Netflix's Witcher dropped winter of 2019, Which meant that there was a long gap between the first season and later seasons, and that also that gap was peak pandemic and so a lot of people in fandom watch that first season and then went and either made up their own stuff or did things like play the video games and then bring that to the fandom.

So during those first couple of years, very common fandom interpretations, often under the "all media types" labels were blending characterizations of Geralt from various sources, and were pulling characters specifically like Eskel whole cloth from the video games and then putting the their own fannon interpretation on it.

This results in a ship like Geralt/Jaskier/Eskel almost always being Geralt: blend between Netflix and video games and maybe books, Jaskier: mostly Netflix but possibly with lore from the books included, Eskel: mostly video games but with a lot of fannon stuff on top. And the character Aiden is technically from the video game, but we never actually see him, and his like backstory and characterization is almost entirely Fanon, disconnected from any Canon interpretation at all, but heavily worked out during that same period?

So yeah, in order to encapsulate the fact that a lot of these characters are not pulled specifically from any one source, but rather the people that ship these characters specifically are highly likely to have the same fandom history and be pulling from the same amalgam of sources or Even not having consumed any of the sources but just be pulling from past fandom stuff, these ships themselves under the all media types is likely to already pre-select folk who are going to spend them the same way that I would prefer to.

And on the off chance that I am incorrect and I get paired with somebody who wants to write, like Book!Dandelion(Jaskier)/Hexer!Geralt/Show!Eskel or some such nonsense, it's fine and won't bother me.)

Thanks for the insight into this. Those noms have been approved now.
