Query Post #1

[chocolateboxmod]

Nominations continue, and we have some queries.

In terms of clarifications:

• American Beauty - you have nominated individual characters. Please nominate relationships.
• Mesopotamian Mythology - We think "Inanna | Ishtar (Sumerian Mythology)/Persephone (Ancient Greek Religion & Lore)" is a crossover - if so, please nominate into Crossover Fandom.
• Shoujo Kakumei Utena | Revolutionary Girl Utena - We are not sure if "Protagonist (Utena - Someday My Revolution Will Come)/Sanjouin Chigusa (Shoujo Kakumei Utena)" is a crossover or not. Could the nominator please help us out?
• Star Wars Original Trilogy - could the nominator please confirm that Fennec Shand appears in the original trilogy? If not, please move to crossover.
• DCEU - we have accidentally merged this with Arrowverse. Could we please ask your assistance in identifying which nominations should be in DCEU?
• Critical Role (Web Series) RPF & Geek & Sundry RPF - is this the same thing? There are a lot of similar nominations.
• Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling & Cursed Child - we have a separate nomination for Cursed Child as well as Cursed Child characters nominated into Harry Potter. We are considering merging them together given the CC nominations in HP.
• Dimension 20 - we have a nomination for "Dimension 20", "Dimension 20 (Web Series): Fantasy High". Merge into Dimension 20 or can the Dimension 20 nomination be split up?
• Critical Role - we have a nomination for Critical Role as well as Critical Role: Campaign 3 (Web Series) - merge into Critical Role or can the Critical Role nominators split by campaign?

The following fandoms have been nominated without relationships, and will not be approved until relationships are added:

• ermenwyr trilogy - kage baker (novels)
• La Passe-Miroir | The Mirror Visitor - Christelle Dabos
• ギラギラ | Gira Gira - Ado (Music Video)
• 내 동생 건들면 너희는 다 죽은 목숨이다 | Touch My Little Brother and You're Dead (Webcomic)
• Redwall Series - Brian Jacques
• Ender's Game

Hello! I'm the Critical Role Campaign 3 nominator. I've only come to the fandom pretty recently and haven't finished Campaign 2 or even touched Campaign 1, and since the campaigns are separated by both geography and time it seemed easiest to me to nominate the third campaign separately...but I wouldn't mind everything being combined if the other nominator(s) want that.

[eccentric_hat]

I don't know if there will be nominations for multiple Dimension 20 campaigns, but there were last year, and I lean toward splitting them up. They're totally different universes. There's no campaign that's just called Dimension 20; every story within the show has its own name.

[fiachairecht]

+1. I have yet to nominate, but I'm only interested in Campaign 1 and was absolutely going to nominate under just that fandom.

[chocolateboxmod]

Thanks for that! The Critical Role nomination(s) also contained multiple Season 3 relationships, so it was easier to merge yours in rather than try and split them all back out.

[chocolateboxmod]

There absolutely are two nominations for Dimension 20, one for "Dimension 20 (Web Series): Fantasy High" and one for "Dimension 20 (Web Series)".

In terms of the latter, these are the nominated characters:
Antiope Jones/Danielle Barkstock (D20)
Evan Kelmp & K Tanaka | Dream & Sam Black | Samantha Butler & Whitney Jammer (D20)
Evan Kelmp/Whitney Jammer (D20)
Fabian Aramais Seacaster/Riz Gukgak (D20)
K Tanaka | Dream/Sam Black | Samantha Butler (D20)
Katja Cleaver/Ostentatia Wallace (D20)
Kingston Brown/Pete Conlan | Pete the Plug (Dimension20)
Sam Nightingale/Zelda Donovan (D20)

Is there one (or two) campaigns the list of characters above can be linked to?

[eccentric_hat]

Oh gosh, okay:

Antiope Jones/Danielle Barkstock, Katja Cleaver/Ostentatia Wallace, and Sam Nightingale/Zelda Donovan are from The Seven.

Evan Kelmp & K Tanaka | Dream & Sam Black | Samantha Butler & Whitney Jammer (D20),
Evan Kelmp/Whitney Jammer (D20) and K Tanaka | Dream/Sam Black | Samantha Butler (D20) are from Misfits and Magic.

Fabian Aramais Seacaster/Riz Gukgak (D20) is from Fantasy High.

Kingston Brown/Pete Conlan | Pete the Plug (Dimension20) is from The Unsleeping City.

edit: I should clarify, I'm not the nominator, I'm just thinking about what would make sense to me when signing up.

These are the ones I've spotted that should be in the DCEU:

Alfred Pennyworth/Diana (DCEU)
Arthur Curry/Mera (DCEU)
Arthur Curry/Orm Marius (DCEU)
Barry Allen/Iris West (DCEU)
Bruce Wayne/Clark Kent/Diana (DCEU)
Bruce Wayne/Diana (DCEU) and Bruce Wayne/Diana Prince (DCEU) are duplicates
Bruce Wayne/Slade Wilson (DCEU)
Clark Kent/Bruce Wayne (DCEU)
Clark Kent/Lois Lane (DCEU)
Diana (Wonder Woman)/Steve Trevor (DCEU)
GQ Edwards/Rick Flag (DCEU)
Helena Bertinelli/Dinah Lance (DCEU)
Rick Flag/Floyd Lawton (DCEU)
Rick Flag/Harleen Quinzel (DCEU)
Sionis/Victor Zsasz (DCEU)

Also I don't know if it matters one way or the other but DC's Arrowverse would fall into the TV category as it is a canonized tag instead of DC's Arrowverse (TV) which I noticed you are usiong and has gone into the uncategorized section.

[ermingarden]

I'm not the nominator, but I can confirm that Fennec Shand does not appear in the Original Trilogy.

Heads up, Chun Ok & Eun Bil & Man Ok & Sil Bi (Don't Touch Me) has a typo, Eun Bil should be Eun Bi

Hello! I nominated "Fabian Aramais Seacaster/Riz Gukgak (D20)" under Dimension 20 (Web Series).

They can be split up, but a few of the campaigns take place in the same universe (Fantasy High, The Seven, Pirates of Leviathan, Escape from Bloodkeep), though only the first three of those share characters. The already-nominated Zelda Donovan, for instance, appears in both The Seven and Fantasy High. Though, her ships tend to be different in either campaign. But the other campaigns (Unsleeping City, A Crown of Candy, Magic & Misfits etc.) are in completely separate, discrete individual universes.

I have a preference for not splitting them up. No bad comes from keeping them together, i.e. even within the universe, it's easy to only pick characters and/or ships that only appear in one campaign, if you haven't watched others; the AO3 tag for the fandom is Dimension 20; I generally feel the fandom is pretty multi-campaign, in that most fans watch all campaigns, and, on a purely selfish level, it gets a bit out of hand for requests/offers for this show when they've been split.

But the other nominators might feel stronger and I'm happy to bow to their judgement. This show has gotten a lot bigger than when I used to request it regularly (there were only 2 main campaigns then!), and I might be out of touch with the fandom at large at this point.

Typoed nomination: In 山河令 | Word of Honor (TV 2021), "Han Ying/Zhou (Word of Honor)" should be "Han Ying/Zhou Zishu (Word of Honor)"

[awriternow]

I'm the nominator!
I suppose my question is, where is best for Leia/Fennec to go then. I am happy to move it to Star Wars - All Types, if that's the best place, but I wasn't sure since the instruction asks to separate out. Glad to do what is best.

[awriternow]

Probably should have read closer. Will move to crossover!

[awriternow]

Another comment. I don't have room in my nominations to add another fandom :(

[eccentric_hat]

I think people are less likely to have seen all the campaigns now, when there are so many of them. They crank out a lot of content, faster than I for one manage to keep up with it! I was thinking it would be easier to request and offer if characters were sorted under their own campaigns; the relationship list could get very mixed-up and chaotic otherwise. However, it wouldn't be any more chaotic than the relationships listed under Original Works, and since this isn't Yuletide (no rarity requirements for fandoms, and "or" rather than "and" matching for offers and requests), there's no systematic reason they need to be separated.

(I don't think Escape from the Bloodkeep takes place in the same world as Fantasy High, though? FH's world is called Spire, and EFTB's is called Elna. I think Tiny Heist and Unsleeping City got confirmed to take place in the same world at some point, but it would still feel like a crossover if any of their characters met each other.)

[slightweasel]

If Loki TV is under Marvel Cinematic Universe, then Kid Loki (Loki TV) & Thor (MCU) should be under that instead of Crossovers. I nominated it that way initially because the nomination instructions said that MCU was for characters seen in the movies, which no longer appears to be the case.

[stag]

Hi I'm the other D20 nominator and I totally agree. I prefer the noms not be separated by specific capaigns, especially for making requests/offers easier in terms of fandom slots.

[this_is_my_sock]

Critical Role RPF and Geek & Sundry RPF are not the same thing. There may be some crossover (depending on what people are nominating because CR started on the Geek & Sundry channel and some of the cast has appeared on other G&S things), but they are different fandoms.

[mswhich]

Just noticed a dupe:

Peter Parker/Tony Stark (Marvel Cinematic Universe) and Peter Parker/Tony Stark (MCU)

[chocolateboxmod]

That should be fixed now!

[chocolateboxmod]

Thanks for that - we've sent them through separately.

[chocolateboxmod]

That should be fixed now!

[chocolateboxmod]

That should be fixed now!

[chocolateboxmod]

We've moved that across now! We're sorry about the rules changing, and if you link me your nomination slot I can give you a free fandom nomination to make up for it.

[chocolateboxmod]

Those should be fixed up now!
