Tagset Enquiries

[chocolateboxmod]

Last few hours before nominations close! And some more queries:

• Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: I've been told that this is not the correct tag for this set! Is anyone able to clarify which tags go into which fandom?
• Tolkien: Would this be a correct summation of where each tag should fall?
• DCU: I am considering nixing this category and putting the comicverse characters into DC Comics, and the toonverse into its various categories. Are there any objections?
• Star Wars - All Media Types: Given that these look to be a mixture of comics and Rebels, and therefore probably wouldn't fall into the movies category, I'm happy to keep them here. Is it too confusing if I do?
• Undertale/Utena, Undertale/Madoka, SGverse/Harry Potter: these are crossover ships and need to be moved to the Crossover Fandom, please!

I am also going to be merging over the next few hours:

• Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X & Final Fantasy X-2
• Les Miserables - AMT and Les Miserables - Victor Hugo

If there is anything you'd like merged, now is a great time to raise it! Otherwise I won't be doing another one of these posts until after 11:59pm EST, as that's when the tag set closes for nominations. (And when I will have gone to the bottle shop to get the alcohol I'll need to deal with the mod console.)

Splitting the DCU noms into comics and toonverse sounds like a good idea!

I also noticed a few movie characters in the Star Wars section, especially from the new film which I don't think has any comics related to it yet, but since there are so many characters from all Star Wars media that should be fine?

I am about to make my noms, really!

Anyway, I noticed an issue. Turn (TV 2104) has Alexander Hamilton/Benjamin Tallmadge, which is a great pairing, but it should be a crossover pairing, because Hamilton's not actually a character in the show (so far, maybe in the future?). I'd default to Alexander Hamilton (American Revolution RPF) but it's possible the nominator intends the Miranda musical. And actually, I have a slot, so to speak, under crossovers, so I'm going to nom that anyway.

(Actually it's kind of odd, since we've seen things in the timeline during which Hamilton was certainly on Washington's staff. But there hasn't been a Hamilton in the show at all, and there's no listing in IMDB for one amongst the cast).

Thanks for that! I'll remove the current Hamilton/Tallmadge ship in Turn, and the nominator can contact me with where they want it to go, if it is not meant to be the Miranda musical.

[isis]

Well, actually, I nominated the historical character in Crossover, not the Miranda one. So hopefully that's okay.

[chocolateboxmod]

That's fine! I'll put it back in when I know which Alexander Hamilton it is meant to be.

I believe most of the Sailor Moon relationships are mine. To my knowledge there are four Sailor Moon canons: the original anime, the new anime (Crystal), the manga and the live action. I think the live action tends to go by "PGSM" (which is personally confusing to me because in the new anime it literally sings "pretty guardian" Sailor Moon instead of "bishoujo senshi"). I've never been able to find the live action to watch it, so I'm not 100% sure about that designation. The other three have a few differences but are mostly the same story.

AO3 does a bad job at differentiating them. "Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon | Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon" is the AMT tag for Sailor Moon. If you go to "Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon | All Media Types" it will redirect you. I chose AMT to begin with but the single relationship that wasn't mine (Ail/An) is from the original anime so if the other person would like to narrow us down that way I don't mind.

My relationships were:
Aino Minako/Kunzite
Endymion & Kunzite
Hino Rei & Kino Makoto
Hino Rei & Tsukino Usagi
Hino Rei/Jadeite
Jadeite & Nephrite
Kino Makoto/Nephrite
Mizuno Ami/Zoisite

There is a tradition in the fandom for referring to the live action show separately as PGSM, so your designation is correct, though, yes, adding the words 'pretty guardian' to the Crystal does not help, IMO.

Source: ... I've been in this fandom way too long, and I still remember when PGSM first came out ...

[sirvalkyrie]

+1 If you just use PGSM or Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon I'd think you were referring to the live action show. If I were to request that fandom I'd think that I'd be requesting the show.

AO3 is really horrible with dealing with Sailor Moon.

Merlin/Arthur Pendragon is showing up under King Arthur (2004), and I'm pretty sure it's meant for Merlin TV.

And that's fixed up! Thanks for that.

Kushiel's Legacy Nom Issue

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry, I just noticed (*after* you approved it, of course) that there's a typo in one of my Kushiel's Legacy nominations. The tag currently reads "Allegra Stregazza/Ricciardo/Stregazza" -- it should be "Allegra Stregazza/Ricciardo Stregazza." It's just two characters, a married couple, not three. Sorry!

Re: Kushiel's Legacy Nom Issue

[chocolateboxmod]

That's an easy fix, and it should be fixed up now for you!

[debirlfan]

Oops, I think I nominated under crossover fandoms rather than crossover fandom. Sorry!

[chocolateboxmod]

It's fine. That's an easy fix, and it's done now!

[(Anonymous)]

I remembered another crossover I wanted to nom and went back and added it - that may need to be moved, too? Sorry!

[chocolateboxmod]

If you're the Mayhem & Russ Agnew nommer, that's been sorted out, I'm just slowing down a bit while I merge fandoms. It's all good!

[prettysophist]

"The Song of the Lioness - Tamora Pierce", "Protector of the Small - Tamora Pierce", and "Tricksters - Tamora Pierce" could productively be merged into one category, "Tortall - Tamora Pierce", if no one objects.

Also, "The Immortals - Tamora Pierce", although I don't see a nomination for that as yet. They are all quartets/duologies within one world/continuity, with several characters appearing to various extents in all of them.

If this happens, "Alianne Cooper (Trickster's Choice/Trickster's Queen)/Keladry of Mindelan (Protector of the Small)", currently in "Crossover Fandom", should be moved to "The Immortals - Tamora Pierce".

[passionfruit_kisses]

I nominated Tricksters as a separate fandom as Song of the Lioness had already been approved, plus two ships in Song of the Lioness, plus the Alianne/Keladry relationship in crossovers. I would be happy to have all of the Tortall series merged into one fandom tagset.

[chocolateboxmod]

Those are merged together now!

[prettysophist]

Great, thank you!

I accidentally put some Poe Dameron noms under Star Wars - All Media Types when they should be under Star Wars VII - The Force Awakens! Sorry!!
