Tagset Open!

[chocolateboxmod]

Chocolate Box lives and is now accepting nominations! You are able to nominate up to seven fandoms and seven relationships in those fandoms.

You can find the tag set here!

This year, we are changing how nominations are to be formatted! This is to hopefully reduce duplicate nominations, reduce tag migration, and make the nomination process smoother for everyone. It is as follows:

• Characters in any given relationship are to be ordered in alphabetical order with reference to the first part of each character's name being used, as you read left to right. That is, if the family name goes first, then by family name. If the given name comes first, by given name. This does not apply to Original Works or Crossovers.
• All nominations must contain at the end, inside parentheses (), the name of the canon (or a truncated version as necessary).

A nomination that does not meet this criteria will not be approved.

In terms of nominations generally:

• just about any fandom is eligible;
• You must nominate relationship(s) inside a fandom;
• The characters must appear in the fandom nominated;
• 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 involving Character C;
• 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.
• Original Works are okay and we 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.

For specific fandoms:

• Dragon Age - please nominate as "Dragon Age (Video Games)"
• Marvel Cinematic Universe - please only nominate characters who have appeared in the movies into this fandom.
• Marvel Netflix series - please nominated as "Defenders (TV)".
• Star Wars - please nominate in terms of "Star Wars Prequel Trilogy", "Star Wars Original Trilogy", "Star Wars Sequel Trilogy" etc.
• Arrowverse - please nominate into "DC's Arrowverse" and not individual titles.
• Angel and Buffyverse - please nominate into "Buffyverse (TV)"
• Stargate - please nominate as "Stargate - All Media Types"
• Marvel and DC Comics - please nominate main continuity into Marvel (Comics) and DCU (Comics), and you can put specific runs into the parentheses instead of the fandom for these nominations only. Titles that are explicit alternate realities such as Age of Apocalypse, Marvel 1602 etc. can be nominated as specific titles.
• Pokemon - please nominate the main games under "Pocket Monsters | Pokemon (Main Video Game Series)", the anime under "Pocket Monsters | Pokemon (Anime)", and everything else under specific titles.

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

Tagset approval may be slow until 25 December due to real life work commitments.

Finally, all anonymous comments are screened unless they include your AO3 name. Thank you!

No. We'd have to check each individual signup to ensure compliance with 3+.

Hope you can still enjoy it!

Why aren't y'all approving screen comments? I had to make an account to post this again.

Supernatural and Lucifer TV have mixed together with crossover tags and appear in both shows:
Castiel (Supernatural)/Lucifer Morningstar (Lucifer TV)
Lucifer (Supernatural)/Lucifer Morningstar (Lucifer TV)

Also misspelling:
Typo: Dean Winchester & Mary Winchester & Sam WInchester (SPN)
Needs to be: Dean Winchester & Mary Winchester & Sam Winchester (SPN)

Thanks!

I request that you keep the non-piped versions for Modao Zushi, if possible, because they're a lot easier to read. Thanks for all your hard work!

Basically, we didn't have time. Tagset approval is a really time-critical task, and in the lead up to Christmas time is something we don't have a lot of. Unscreening a comment usually means we're about to action it, and we wanted to get as much of the tagset approved as possible before we start tagset corrections. We apologize for the anxiety it caused that we hadn't yet unscreened your comments.

Also, we've made those corrections.

Pokemon gameverse is fine! We may tweak it for consistency, but thank you so much for using disambiguation tags.

Hi, I've looked around a few places and haven't found the answer -- can anyone refresh me on what the sign-up minimums are going to be? The minimum number of fandoms you have to offer, with the minimum number of relationships for each; and the minimum number of fandoms you have to request, with the minimum number of relationships for each.

[prettysophist]

It is, thank you 😊

misspelling in a tag/name

[moonwolfhowl]

Hi,

If I accidentally misspelled a name and the tag/ship was approved then um does that matter or what should I do?

AO3 name: nightmoonz

Re: misspelling in a tag/name

[thecatmod]

Hi! What's the tag/ship? And what should it be?

[thecatmod]

You have to request at least three fandoms, with at least one relationship (up to 20).

You have to offer at least four, with at least two relationships offered (up to 20 or Any, if only one relationship has been nominated).

300 word minimum or a sketch on unlined paper.

[sanguinity]

Thank you so much!
