Nominations 2019!

[chocolateboxmod]

Chocolate Box lives and is now accepting nominations! This year you can nominate up to seven fandoms and seven relationships.

You can find the tag set here!

In terms of nominations generally:

• just about any fandom is eligible;
• Please remember that "Character A/Character B" is shipfic, "Character A & Character B" is genfic, and "Character A/Character B & Character C" is shipfic that also has a gen component;
• If you are nominating a character that has multiple versions across canons, please specify which one;
• There is no limit on the number of characters that can be in a combination other than the AO3 character limit;
• Objects can be nominated in tags;
• Crossovers must be nominated in "Crossover Fandom", which is already nominated. Crossovers that are not nominated in this fandom will be deleted.
• Original Works are okay and I have nominated that fandom for you already;
• You will be required to offer two tags per fandom on signups (unless only one relationship tag is nominated), so please keep that in mind when nominating.

Please watch this comm for updates about clarifications, merging of fandoms, and general administrative enquiries! If you have any questions, drop them here!

I would prefer using "MCU" for the movies, and individual show titles for the TV series.

The movies pretty much all cross over with each other at this point, but the TV series mostly don't cross over with the movies, and many of the TV series don't cross over with each other.

When nominating X-Men comics, do I nominate them under "X-Men Comics" or under "Marvel 616?"

[chocolateboxmod]

Could your friend please provide a link to their nominations for: Pietro Maximoff/Wanda Maximoff (MCU)
Pietro Maximoff/Wanda Maximoff/Steve Rogers (MCU)?

They weren't nominated under the Marvel Cinematic Universe because we haven't approved the Marvel Cinematic Universe yet, and so we're not sure what's going on here.

[chocolateboxmod]

All right, at this stage we're going to focus on getting the tagset approved. If we have time we can fix up the disambiguation tag, but the text in the disambiguation section isn't that important. Thank you!

[thecatmod]

Thanks for asking! In the next tag admin post, we'll ask what the exchange wants for X-Men comics (and Marvel/DC comics in general).

Hi mods, AO3 recently split men's and women's hockey into two separate canonicals (Men's Hockey RPF and Women's Hockey RPF). Would it be possible for the two to be combined under Hockey RPF for the sake of nominations? It makes more sense than separating them, as there is quite a bit of crossover between men's and women's hockey, and it keeps you from having to determine which fandom any het pairings belong to.

[slightweasel]

They definitely were nominated under MCU, so I have no idea what's going on with that either.

Thank you for hosting, mods! Quick question: does a canon need to be fully released to be eligible for nomination, or can a canon be nommed based on a trailer only?

Like, if I wanted to request ships including characters from the Men in Black International trailer, would those be approved? Or does the canon have to be fully released by end of noms (or end of sign ups)?

No harm either way, just want to check before using a nom slot. Thanks!

One of my nominated fandoms got accepted twice: both as "WorldEnd: What do you do at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us?" and as "終末なにしてますか? 忙しいですか? 救ってもらっていいですか? | SukaSuka | WorldEnd (Anime)"

They're the same fandom. The former is a synonym of the latter and the latter is technically the canonical, but I originally nominated it as the former. The pairing I nominated, Willem Kmetsch/Chtholly Nota Seniorious (World End), is showing up under the latter tag.

[thecatmod]

The fandom does not need to be fully released so go ahead a nominate!

[chocolateboxmod]

That is so weird! Sorry about that; we've rushed through the Marvel Cinematic Universe approvals so that we could marry these tags with the correct fandom. Thank you for your patience!

[chocolateboxmod]

That should be fixed up now!

[chocolateboxmod]

Sure, we can do that! We'll get that done once we've approved all of our backlogged tags, as it will be a little fiddly to associate everything correctly.

[days4daisy]

Yay, thanks!

(Sorry, now I found the right post to comment on.)

Something odd happened to my Vampyr nominations as they got approved. One nom (Sean Hampton & Old Bridget) is now in my list twice, but the nom Sean Hampton/Geoffrey McCullum vanished (and is not in the tagset, either). Also, Sean Hampton/Tom Watts lost the "S" on Sean (it's approved in the tagset as ean Hampton/Tom Watts). I agonised over my choices here for a long time, heh, as one does, so I'm fairly sure I didn't put it like that. Just wanted to let you know in case it's another colourful AO3 bug, haha.

Thanks for all your work!

Hi there! Thank you for running this exchange again. I goofed and left a comment on an old post while not logged in -- let me rewrite it here, with updates.

All the relationships on my noms page have a green checkmark next to them. But I'm not seeing most of them in the tagset, even with all categories expanded. For example, I nominated seven ships for Attack on Titan, but the only one I see in the tagset is Armin Arlert/Jean Kirstein. I have three fandoms I don't see represented at all in the tagset: Vatican Miracle Examiner, Doctrine of Labyrinths, and The Collared Knight (the last of which has no works on AO3 yet). VME was definitely there the other day. Also, there are no crossovers in the tagset, either. Is it just that they still need to be wrangled?

[evilmuffins]

Thanks! Found one more duplicate in DR when I went back to check:
Hinata Hajime/Komaeda Nagito/Nanami Chiaki (Dangan Ronpa (Hope's Peak Arc))
Hinata Hajime/Komaeda Nagito/Nanami Chiaki (Dangan Ronpa (HPA))

[chocolateboxmod]

That should be fixed up now!

[chocolateboxmod]

Thanks for that! We've merged them into the canonical tag.

[chocolateboxmod]

Thank you! That should be fixed up now.

[chocolateboxmod]

We just checked and those fandoms are all listed! Is it maybe a caching issue for your browser?

[island_of_reil]

I cleared cache before commenting just to be sure, but maybe I need to quit and restart? IDK. Anyway, thanks for looking into it for me. :)

She-Ra

[sirvalkyrie]

You have some migratory tags between She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018) and She-Ra: Princess Of Power (1985).

I'm not in either fandom so I can't even begin to guess what is right.
