Tagset Queries #1

[chocolateboxmod]

It's been three days since nominations opened and we're already at more than 5,000 tags across more than 800 fandoms!

We have some queries to be addressed so that we can do one last push and finish approving all of the backlogged tags.

Crossover Fandom

• Donald Duck & Daffy Duck - Is this a crossover between the Disney and Warners Bros iterations or something else?
• Emony Dax/Leonard "Bones" McCoy - Which McCoy do you mean?
• John Constantine/Lucifer Morningstar (Lucifer TV) - which John Constantine do you mean?
• Lando Calrissian & Ben Solo | Kylo Ren - do you have a preference for canon point for Lando?
• Lara Croft/Diana (Wonder Woman) - which Lara Croft do you mean?
• Loki (Marvel) & Q (Star Trek) - which Marvel Loki do you mean?
• Mickey Mouse/Bugs Bunny - is this a crossover between the Disney and Warner Bros iterations or something else?
• William Bodie (The Professionals)/Spock (Star Trek) - which version of Spock do you mean?

Fantastic Four (Movies 2005-2007)

• Amara Perera/Victor von Doom - Amara Perera seems to be a comic book character created in 2015. Please move to Crossover Fandom.
• Tony Stark & Victor Von Doom - Tony Stark does not appear in this series. Please move to Crossover Fandom
• Tony Stark/Victor von Doom - Tony Stark does not appear in this series. Please move to Crossover Fandom

Historical RPF
This is a very broad category, and encompasses a lot of the other RPF fandoms by definition. Do the other historical RPF people want to go into this category? Or does the nominator wish to split it up into smaller RPF categories?

Marvel Cinematic Universe and Associated Television Shows

• Characters from Agents of Shield, The Defenders, etc etc. - Do you want to nominate them into the Marvel Cinematic Universe or into individual shows?
• Tony Stark & Johnny Storm - Johnny Storm does not appear in the MCU. Please move to Crossover Fandom
• Tyrion Lannister & Peter Quill - Tyrion Lannister does not appear in the MCU. Please move to Crossover Fandom

Stanton & Barling - E.M. Powell

• Aelred Barling (Stanton & Barling) - this is a character. Please nominate a & or / ship.
• Hugo Stanton (Stanton & Barling) - this is a character. Please nominate a & or / ship.

Superhero Comics (Marvel Comics, DC Comics)
We have nominations for both an overarching fandom (aka "Marvel (Comics)" and "DC Comics") as well as individual titles. How do you want this done?

Stay tuned, because there will be more admin posts as we progress!

Finally, a reminder: if you are anonymous and you wish for your comment to be unscreened, please remember to put your AO3 name into your comment. Thank you!

To me it's just easier to count it all as MCU since the shows take place in the same universe.

[franztastisch]

I have a preference for having all the comics lumped together just because a huge amount of those characters are not limited to one run or another. Specifying further could be done in a dear author letter maybe?

[fadedwings]

I second this!

[yhlee]

Thirded.

[fucktheg0ds]

Historical RPF nominator here!

I'm happy for the relationships to go under the broad "Historical RPF" tag. Or they could be put into "Mongolian History RPF" and "Classical Greece and Rome History & Literature RPF".

[klutzygirl]

I think the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the shows should be kept separate - otherwise, the MCU tag is going to be a mess.

[ultra_fic]

I agree :)

[(Anonymous)]

I'd like it if the comics were kept separate, at least the ones that are already approved.

I personally would prefer "Marvel (Comics)" and "DC Comics" because the characters appear in multiple titles so I think it would be easier rather than trying to choose a title. Plus things like the MCU and Arrowverse are under one name so it would make sense for the comics to be as well.

[meretricula]

I don't think there's any way to make everybody happy, but I personally would prefer to have comics nominations by individual titles. I know there's going to be characters who appear in more than one and people who are interested in interactions across different comics, but it's not like we don't have the ability to nominate crossovers. Sometimes characters are really different from one run to another, and it's intimidating to think I might sign up offering, idk, Renee Montoya/Kate Kane from Bombshells and get assigned to someone who's only familiar with Detective Comics.

[snickfic]

Yeah, I agree with this.

[tehsharkie]

For Donald Duck & Daffy Duck and Mickey Mouse/Bugs Bunny: it's a crossover between the Disney and Warner Bros. iterations.

[chocolateboxmod]

Those should be approved now!

[sirvalkyrie]

I’m fine with DC nominations being merged as long as they are disambiguated by what they were originally under. In my particular case, I was the that nominated New 52-Present, Kara Zor-El, Jay Garrick and a few others are distinct characters from before New 52 and nothing before that is canon to them.

[wiccanslyr]

This is probably the best solution to make most people happy.

[corvidology]

Sorry not to be more clear.


John Constantine/Lucifer Morningstar (Lucifer TV) - which John Constantine do you mean?

I meant: John Constantine (Constantine TV)/Lucifer Morningstar (Lucifer TV)


William Bodie (The Professionals)/Spock (Star Trek) - which version of Spock do you mean?

I meant: William Bodie (The Professionals)/Spock (Star Trek:The Alternate Original Series (Movies))

Thank you!

[chocolateboxmod]

Thank you! Those should be approved now.

[shadowsapiens]

Hi! Miracle Nikki | Love Nikki under video games has a duplicate:

Hui Ying | Shade/Nidhogg (Love Nikki)
Hui Ying | Shade/Nidhogg

[chocolateboxmod]

That should be fixed now!

[zdenka]

Duplicate in Greek and Roman Mythology:

Hades/Persephone
Ἁδης | Hades/Περσεφόνη | Persephone

Wandering tag: Aredhel/Galadriel (Silmarillion) has wandered into The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien.

[chocolateboxmod]

Those should be fixed now!

[nilpotent]

Hi, somehow the relationship "Ginny Baker/Livan Duarte (Miss Sherlock)" wound up under the fandom "Miss Sherlock (TV)", but Miss Sherlock is a Japanese drama and has no characters by those names. I don't know if someone nominated it as a prank, or what.

[chocolateboxmod]

Thank you for letting us know - we'll delete it from the tagset.

[sathinfection]

I nominated something under 17th C RPF and I have no problem with that being folded into a general "Historical RPF" umbrella.

[chocolateboxmod]

Done! We've moved that into Historical RPF.

[thrasonical]

Duplicate under "Star Wars: Thrawn Series - Timothy Zahn (2017)"

correct:
Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo/Eli Vanto (Thrawn - Zahn (2017))

and misspelled:
Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo/Eli Vanto (Thrwan - Zahn (2017))

[chocolateboxmod]

That should be fixed up now!

[zdenka]

Oops, I found another duplicate:

琅琊榜 | Nirvana in Fire (TV)

Mu Ni Huang & Xia Dong (Nirvana in Fire)
Mu Nihuang & Xia Dong (Nirvana in Fire)

Lin Shu | Mei Changsu | Su Zhe & Meng Zhi (Nirvana in Fire)
Mei Changsu & Meng Zhi (Nirvana in Fire)


In "Yan Yu Jin & Xiao Jin Rui (Nirvana in Fire)" I believe the second name should be Xiao Jing Rui.

Thanks for all your work on the tagset!

[chocolateboxmod]

Thank you! Those should be fixed up now.

Tag mistakes

[mahmfic]

Into the spider verse

Duplicate: Aaron Davis & Miles Morales
Duplicate: Miles Morales & Peter Parker
Duplicate: Peter B. Parker & Gwen Stacy

Doctor Who (2005)

Lisa Hallet/Ianto Jones/Jack Harkness should only be in the Torchwood category (which I think it already is) because Lisa never appears in Doctor Who, only in Torchwood.

Re: Tag mistakes

[chocolateboxmod]

Those should be fixed up now!

Into the Spider-Verse

[learnedfoot]

One more Into the Spider-Verse duplicate:

May Parker (Spider-Man)/Olivia Octavius (SM: ItSV) [the second one is styled Olivia Octavius/May Parker (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)]

Also -- and this may be me over-thinking it, so feel free to ignore me if you think this is overly hand-holding -- maybe it would be worth mentioning in some mod post that people should make sure that when they nom/request/offer they distinguish correctly between Peter Parker (the character voiced by Chris Pine who is only in the very beginning of the movie) and Peter B. Parker (the character voiced by Jake Johnson who is one of the major characters of the movie)? I mean, I see no reason to think people haven't been nominating correctly so far (I think a lot of people do want to see more stuff with the Pine version), but I could easily envision a scenario where someone messes up either their request or their offer such that it leads to a mis-match...

Re: Into the Spider-Verse

[chocolateboxmod]

That duplicate should be removed now!

When we open signups, we will remind everyone to look at their tags carefully. Thank you for letting us know that this fandom may have a higher number than usual of misread tags, we really appreciate it!

[zdenka]

Another duplicate:

The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien

Gimli (Son of Glóin)/Legolas Greenleaf (JRRT)
Gimli (Son of Glóin)/Legolas Greenleaf (Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien)

[chocolateboxmod]

That duplicate should be removed now!

[daisychain_fallout]

Duplicate under Papillon (2018):

Henri "Papillon" Charriere/Louis Dega
Henri "Papillon" Charriere/Louis Dega (Papillon (2018))

Second form would be more appropriate since it specifies the remake, right?

[chocolateboxmod]

That should be fixed up now!

[count_nickula]

Some repeat character sets:

The Terror (TV 2018)

- Cornelius Hickey/Lt John Irving (The Terror (TV 2018))

and

[mahmfic]

That should be fixed up now!

[wallwalker]

A quick question before signups close.

The following relationships are included under the Original Works fandom tag:

× Julian Devorak/Lucio (The Arcana (Visual Novel))
× Asra/Male Apprentice (The Arcana)
× Asra/Julian Devorak (The Arcana)

Should they be moved to their fandom?

[chocolateboxmod]

I’m afraid we can’t move them at this point - we’re seven days and nearly 600 signups too late for that now!
