Queries Post

[chocolateboxmod]

Greetings Chocolatiers!

Thank you for your patience while we navigated our real life commitments. We've approved over 7100 tags, and we hope to get through more once the nominators for these fandoms can address some queries.

Crossover Fandom

• If you have nominated a DC or Marvel character into this section, please specify media.
• Daenerys Targaryen (GOT)/Yennefer z Vengerbergu | Yennefer of Vengerberg (The Witcher) - which Yennefer do you want?

Deadpool (Movieverse)

• Please confirm that Loki, Peter Parker, Matt Murdoch, and Steve Rogers appear in the movies, or move these nominations to Crossover Fandom
• The Boxes & Wade Wilson (Deadpool) - do you mean the textboxes?

Fate/Grand Order

• Are Enkidu | Lancer/Gilgamesh | Caster (Fate/Grand Order) and Enkidu/Gilgamesh (F/GO) the same? We tried looking at the Fate wiki and that just made things more confusing.

Fire Emblem

• Please put the name of your game into the disambiguation, not just Fire Emblem.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni | Higurashi When They Cry

• Please confirm that Bernkastel appears in Higurashi, or move into Crossover Fandom.

Legend of Zelda

• Please put the name of your game into the disambiguation, not just Legend of Zelda. They will migrate.
• Please also nominate specific games, and not the overarching franchise.

Nominator Who Puts Twin Peaks Characters Into Other Fandoms

• We love your choice of character crossovers, but please put these nominations into Crossover Fandom.

Rogue One

• Please confirm that Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo appears in this canon, or move into Crossover Fandom.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

• Please confirm that Seven of Nine appears in this canon, or move into Crossover Fandom.

Star Wars Original Trilogy

• Please confirm that Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo appears in this canon, or move into Crossover Fandom.

Star Wars Prequel Trilogy

• Please confirm that CC-2224 | Cody appears in this canon, or move into Crossover Fandom.
• Please confirm that Kit Fisto appears in this canon, or move into Crossover Fandom.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types

• Please confirm Luke Skywalker appears in this canon, or move into Crossover Fandom.

A reminder that relationship tags have to be arranged in alphabetical order, and the fandom at the end. Examples:

Kiyose Haiji/Kurahara Kakeru (Run with the Wind)
Henry Bolingbroke | Henry IV/Joan of Navarre (Plantagenet RPF)

Thank you to everyone who has done this. Approving Dragon Age, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars, and Star Trek was so much easier this time around, thanks to your work!

Finally, anonymous comments are automatically screened unless you include your AO3 name. Thank you and happy nominating!

Comments

[alexseanchai]

I am none of the Star Wars nominators, but I can confirm that Thrawn does not appear in the Original Trilogy or Rogue One, and Kit Fisto does appear in the Prequel Trilogy.

Re Luke Skywalker in Clone Wars: yes, but also no?

Star Wars: The Clone Wars – "Destiny" (Indirect mention only)
Star Wars: The Clone Wars – "Sacrifice" (Indirect mention only)
Star Wars: The Clone Wars – "A Distant Echo" (Indirect appearance only) (Appears in hologram)

Re CC-2224 | Cody, are we counting the graphic novelization of the Prequel Trilogy? Because he's there, but not in the movies proper.

[flowersforgraves]

I am not the SW nominator either, but Cody does in fact appear in the PT. He is onscreen during ROTS, his (chronologically) first appearance.

edit: He's listed as such on the linked wiki page, including with screenshots.

[chocolateboxmod]

In terms of Luke's appearances in Clone Wars, is it just that other people mention him, or does he do anything himself that is shown on screen?

[gloss]

I'm not the nominator, but I have seen all of TCW. The series is set before Luke and Leia's birth, so, no, he does not appear onscreen. The final episode mentioned in the comment you replied to says he "appears in hologram", but from what I can tell, this is nerdy back-counting from when Luke's mother would have conceived. *She* appears in a holo-call and I think it is presumed she is already pregnant, therefore Luke kind of technically appears in the hologram.

[chocolateboxmod]

Thanks for that! We've rejected the tag, and if the nominator wants to substitute something else they can approach us to have it manually inserted.

[pauraque]

Not the nominator, but Seven of Nine does not appear in Deep Space Nine.

[chocolateboxmod]

Thank you for that! We've rejected that tag and the nominator can approach us if they want us to insert a new tag later on.

[welsper]

Not related to the fandoms at hand, but there is a dupe in 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia:

Takami Keigo | Hawks/Todoroki Enji | Endeavor (My Hero Academia)
Takami Keigo/Todoroki Eiji (My Hero Academia)

The second one is a spelled wrong version, there is no Todoroki Eiji in BnHA.

[thecatmod]

Should be updated now!

Fate/Grand Order

[sirvalkyrie]

Not my nomination

Enkidu | Lancer/Gilgamesh | Caster (Fate/Grand Order) and Enkidu/Gilgamesh (F/GO) both are and are not the same ship. The way summoning works in Fate/Grand Order is a historical figure can be summoned into one of several classes that fit their abilities and personality in life. Since time is meaningless in the games when it comes to summoning it is possible to have the same historic figure summoned into multiple classes that would emphasize different parts of their life, personality and skill at the same time.

For example Gilgamesh as a child, Gilgamesh as an Archer, Gilgamesh as a Caster, and historic Gilgamesh all exist. They all could potentially interact with each other. In some cases different summonings of the same historical figure do interact with each other.

Re: Fate/Grand Order

[cypher]

For the purposes of nominations, I think the nominator of the "Enkidu/Gilgamesh (F/GO)" tag needs to clarify their intent -- they might want the same thing as the specific tag, but it's at least as likely that they don't. Nominating "Enkidu/Gilgamesh" without referring to their classes is a little like nominating "Batman/Robin"; it gives you a rough idea what they're after but there are still significantly different characters they could mean.

Re: Fate/Grand Order

[sirvalkyrie]

Not going too lie, Batman!Dick Grayson/Robin!Dick Grayson would be neat to write or read.

Re: Fate/Grand Order

[chocolateboxmod]

I'm familiar with Fate/Zero, Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, but I'm not familiar with Fate/Grand Order at all, which probably doesn't help. I think cypher is right in that the nominator has to specify which ones, because there's something like eight possibilities and I can't reduce them down to just one.

[lilacsigil]

Not the nominator, but "Matt Murdoch" should be spelled "Matt Murdock".

[chocolateboxmod]

Thank you! If it's moved to Crossover Fandom we'll fix the spelling then.

[innie_darling]

This is so dumb, but I can't find the minimum length of the stories we're writing - I'm sure my eye keeps skipping over it. Could you please ket me know/point me to the right post? Thanks!

[enemytosleep]

Not a mod, but the last few years the word min has been 300 (here is the 2019 FAQ which is likely to be very much the same as this year's). I can't seem to find this info on DW, but the past AO3 collections all seem to have it.

[innie_darling]

D'oh! Thank you so much! I swear I looked at the 2019 profile, but to no avail. I apprecuate your help!

[enemytosleep]

You're welcome!

[chocolateboxmod]

300 words! We are going to set up the 2020 community over the next few days; we just had to prioritize the tagset first given our limited time before Christmas.

[innie_darling]

That totally makes sense - and I had a vague recollection of 300 words from last year - but I appreciate that you took the time to answer my question. Thanks!

[thedoubtfulguest]

Fate/Grand Order

I nominated Enkidu | Lancer/Gilgamesh | Caster (Fate/Grand Order) because I'm specifically interested in the version of the characters that appear in the Babylonia chapter (Caster Gilgamesh is a main character, Enkidu appears in flashbacks) and can be summoned by the player in Fate/GO.

It's likely that the other nomination is for the same characters, but there are 3 versions of Gilgamesh and 2 versions of Enkidu in Fate/GO, so it's not certain.

Gilgameshes: Gilgamesh | Caster, Gilgamesh | Archer, Kid Gilgamesh
Enkidus: Enkidu, Kingu--technically they're the same character, but for fic or art purposes, they would be different characters, anyway, different eye colours

[chocolateboxmod]

Don't worry, your nomination is clear in its intent and we could understand which incarnation you meant. It was when we started working out just how many Gilgameshes and Enkidus the other nomination could have in combination that things started to get confusing!

[southerncontinentskies]

I've caught a spelling mistake in one of my Original Works tags:

"Newly-Crowned King of Fearsome Repute/Politically Asture Prince Sent to Him as Tribute (OW)"

"Asture" should be "Astute," which I mention in case someone assumes it was supposed to be "austere" or something else.

[chocolateboxmod]

That should be fixed up now!

[chocolateboxmod]

Thanks for that! Those should be fixed up now!

[chocolateboxmod]

That should be fixed up now!

[klutzygirl]

Legends of Tomorrow is part of the Arrowverse so the pairing underneath it should be moved to the latter.

[chocolateboxmod]

That should be fixed up now!

Star Trek duplicates

[eleosepistrophia]

Just as a heads up there's a couple of duplicates across the Star Trek fandom.

James T. Kirk/Spock (ST TOS)
James T. Kirk/Spock (ST:TOS)

Deanna Troi/William Riker (ST TNG)
Deanna Troi/William Riker (Star Trek: The Next Generation)

Elim Garak/Julian Bashir (ST DS9)
Julian Bashir/Elim Garak (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)

(If my nitpicking isn't helpful/appropriate at this time let me know!)

Re: Star Trek duplicates

[chocolateboxmod]

That should be fixed up now! Your level of detail is exactly what we need, including the tags - at this size the tagset is really hard to navigate without being able to search for a tag in its entirety.

[chocolateboxmod]

Not a problem - we are moving them now! If you could check later on today and make sure they all made it safely without duplicating themselves, that would be great.

[stag]

everything looks good, thank you!

[mollyamory]

Hi! Just noticed there are some duplicates that are probably my fault in:

Dragon age.-
Female Hawke/Varric Tethras (Dragon Age (Video Games)) and
Female Hawke/Varric Tethras (Dragon Age)

[chocolateboxmod]

That should be fixed up now!

[fencesit]

For the fandom 人渣反派自救系统 - 墨香铜臭 | The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù

"Shen Qingqiu" could be two people: The first is "Original Shen Qingqiu" who is also sometimes nominated as "Shen Jiu" or "
Shen Jiu | Shen QIngiqu" and the second is "Shen Yuan | Shen Qingqiu". Neither Shen Qingqiu is ever called just "Qingqiu".

Liu Qingge/Luo Binghe/Shen Qingqiu (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)
Liu Qingge/Luo Binghe/Shen Yuan | Qingqiu (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)

The second tag should definitely be corrected to "Liu Qingge/Luo Binghe/Shen Yuan | Shen Qingqiu (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)" but the first tag could be either "Shen Qingqiu" tag; you could maybe just add "Liu Qingge/Luo Binghe/Original Shen Qingqiu (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)"

Liu Qingge/Shen Yuan | Qingqiu (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)

This should be "Liu Qingge/Shen Yuan | Shen Qingqiu (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)"

Luo Binghe/Shen Qingqiu (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)
Luo Binghe/Shen Yuan | Qingqiu (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)

The first tag could mean either character; the second tag should be "Luo Binghe/Shen Yuan | Shen Qingqiu (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)

Shang Qinghua & Shen Yuan | Qingqiu (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)

Shang Qinghua & Shen Yuan | Shen Qingqiu (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)
These are the same relationship. The second one should be kept.

Shen Jiu | Qingqiu & Shen Yuan | Qingqiu (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)

This should be either "Original Shen Qingqiu & Shen Yuan | Shen Qingqiu (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)" or "Shen Jiu | Shen Qingqiu & Shen Yuan | Shen Qingqiu (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)"

Mobei Jun/Shang Qinghua (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)
Mobei-jun/Shang Qinghua (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)

This is the same relationship. "Mobei-jun" is the standard spelling — "-jun" is used in the canonical AO3 tags — so I will also point out that several other tags incorrectly use the "Mobei Jun" spelling: "Luo Binghe & Mobei Jun (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)" and "Mobei Jun & Shang Qinghua (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)"

...this is really long so please let me know if it would help to have a list of incorrect tags or something.

[asymptotically]

I second all of this! The Qingqiu part of Shen Qingqiu should never be on it's own and it's very important to specify which Shen Qingqiu a tag is (they are VERY different characters). For the places where Shen Qingqiu is corrected to Shen Jiu I'd prefer the "Shen Jiu | Shen Qingqiu" tag since that's clearer than "Original Shen Qingqiu" is.

[chocolateboxmod]

I think I've fixed that one up - please look at it and let me know if I've messed something up!

[asymptotically]

It looks like you got most of them! There's still

"Liu Qingge/Luo Binghe/Shen Qingqiu (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)"

Which is now redundant since both versions of Shen Qingqiu have their own version of that tag and can be deleted.

And

"Luo Binghe/Shen Qingqiu (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)"

Which should probably be changed to "Luo Binghe/Shen Jiu | Shen Qingqiu (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)" since there's already a Shen Yuan | Shen Qingqiu tag for that relationship.

[chocolateboxmod]

I think we've done it! Let me know if we've still messed it up.

[asymptotically]

I think it's all fixed! Thank you! <3
