Query Post #1

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 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.

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.)

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.
