Chocolate Box Gift Exchange

Nominations have closed! We have 11,600+ tags across 1700+ fandoms, which is quite a feat. We are now cleaning up the tagset, so if you could please comment with any corrections that need to be made, that would be very much appreciated.

We have some queries for you so that we can finalize our approval process:

• Sailor Moon: We have nominations for Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon | Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon (1992 Anime), Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon | Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (Live Action TV). Do you want them merged together, and if so, in what way?
• Deadpool - AMT: Could the nominator please choose a medium? We think you mean the movies.
• Jesus Christ Superstar AMT: Is there a specific version you want, or are they all reasonably similar in terms of adaptation?
• Mass Effect - AMT: Please pick either Mass Effect Trilogy or Mass Effect: Andromeda.
• Midsomer Murders - AMT: Is there a specific version you want, or are they all reasonably similar in terms of adaptation?
• Percy Jackson, Magnus Chase, Heroes of Olympus: The separate series have been nominated. We have a nomination also for Percy Jackson and the Olympians & Related Fandoms - All Media Types. Do you want these merged together or split apart? If we do not hear from the "Percy Jackson and the Olympians & Related Fandoms - All Media Types" nominator, we will chose Percy Jackson as your series.
• Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types - please choose a medium, as all three are nominated.
• Twilight Series - All Media Types: Is there a specific version you want, or are they all reasonably similar in terms of adaptation?
• Shoujo Kakumei Utena | Revolutionary Girl Utena: Could the nominator please come forward with their nomination slate, please?
• Ancient History RPF: There's a nomination for "Cleopatra VII of Egypt & Isis (Ancient Egyptian)" but Isis isn't a person. What did you mean by this, nominator?
• the most beautiful moment in life: the notes - what is this, and is this the correct formatting of its title?
• Could the nominator(s) for Getou Suguru/Gojo Satoru & Ieiri Shoko (Jujutsu Kaisen) and Getou Suguru/Gojo Satoru/Ieiri Shoko (Jujutsu Kaisen). There are nominations for the anime and manga, and we're not sure which one these belong to.

As a reminder: anonymous comments are screened by default, but we can unscreen them if you include your AO3 name or a copy of your nominations slate in your comment.

The tagset is here and currently contains 1,930 fandoms with 14,409 relationships!

We have some queries:

• Kochou Shinobu/Tomioka Giyuu (Kimetsu no Yaiba) - nominator, did you nominate this in the anime or the manga? It's gone wandering and we don't know where it should go.
• Sonic the Hedgehog - All Media Types - nominator, please pick a version.
• The Hobbit - All Media Types - nominator, please pick a version.
• The nominator who put "Female Tabris/Morrigan (Dragon Age)" as a fandom - we will correct your fandom and send it through once you confirm which relationship you're dropping of the eight you've included in here.

There were a lot of tags approved over the last few days, and we know that there will be duplicates and errors. We very much want you to tell us about tagset corrections: typographical errors, duplicates, wandering tags etc. Please tell us about them and we'll fix them up!

Edit: Chocobox App v1.0 is live thanks to the work of karanguni! As we are still finalizing our tagset, the app is not final, but feel free to test it out and report bugs so that the app can be made stronger, faster, and more terrifying with each iteration. Bugs can be reported here

Back again for yet another set of queries and requests! This will likely be our last one before nominations close, so please help us finalize the tagset!

• Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon/Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (Anime and Manga) - we think this is the same thing. Can you please confirm if it is, so we can merge them together?
• Chronicles of Narnia - AMT - please choose a version.
• Fullmetal Alchemist - AMT - please choose a version
• Persona Series - please nominate into individual Persona titles or into Persona 3.
• Star Wars - AMT - please choose a more narrow fandom.
• Terminator movies - we have nominations for Terminator (Movies), Terminator Genisys, Dark Fate and Dark Faith. Should these all go under Terminator (Movies)?
• The Revenger's Tragedy - do you mean the play or the movie?
• TOLKIEN J. R. R. - Works & Related Fandoms - This is too broad, please pick a narrower fandom.
• Twilight Series - AMT - please choose an adaptation.
• The Witcher - AMT - we think you mean the video game? Please nominate into Wiedźmin | The Witcher (Video Game), if so.

Also please let us know if there are any duplicates, wandering tags, missing tags and the like!

Finally, we remind you to please remember to put the fandom inside brackets (square brackets or parentheses, either or) for each relationship tag. It makes it much easier for us if you do that and we can approve things faster.

We're a couple of days into nominations and we're already at 4,761 relationship tags across 789 fandoms.

We have some queries as follows:

• Agent Carter - does Steve Rogers appear in the show? If not, please move to Crossover Fandom
• Fantastic Four Movies (2005-2007) - Tony Stark does not appear in these movies, please move these nominations to Crossover Fandom
• Rocketman (2019) RPF - can the nominator tell us how Hugh Jackman relates to this fandom?

• Star Wars Sequel Trilogy - Jyn Erso does not appear in these movies, please move to Crossover Fandom.
• Pokemon - we have nominations for Sword and Shield, the Main Series as a whole, All Media Types, and Black and White. We would like a consistent approach for Pokemon. How should the series be nominated?
• Persona Series - please nominate into individual Persona games, or into Crossover Fandoms.
• The Witcher - All Media Types - please nominate a specific version of the Witcher.
• Fallout - should it be by individual titles or as a series as a whole?

Finally, if you're interested in nominating, requesting, or offering superhero comics, we're asking if you want them as a combined tag (aka Marvel Comics, DC Comics) or as individual titles. Currently, the numbers are 4 for individual titles and 2 for combined tags. We'll make a decision after the weekend is over, so please put your opinion forward if you have one!

First up, the tagset will be closing at 11:59pm EST on December 28th!

Secondly, we ask for your patience as we process any tags that need to be amended, removed or associated differently. We have been having difficulty loading the admin console that allows us to make these changes, and the difficulty spiked dramatically once we went over 9,000 tags. We also ask that if you are nominating to please check the tagset before doing so.

We're back with more mod queries! These are all the outstanding tags (so far). Thank you for your patience while we processed the backlog.

Edit: There is a discussion thread for the Marvel Netflix series. Please go there to discuss your fandom's nominations!

I've heard back from AO3 and the reason why I can't reliably load the admin console to edit the tagset is because of two factors: the size of the tagset and the amount of traffic over the Christmas/New Year period on the archive itself. I've managed to go through and remove identified duplicates, most of the wandering tags, and made a number of fixes on spelling mistakes. I think that's all I'm going to be able to reliably do.

As such, I will keep trying to remove any further identified duplicates and wandering tags that really should not go where they have gone, but I'm very reluctant to do any more merges. I don't want to risk making a number of tags unassociated and then not being able to associate them again. I'm really sorry to the people who wanted merges for DC Arrowverse, Buffyverse, and Marvel Comics but the risk of you not being able to request/offer these fandoms at all was too high.

Finally, as this comes up every year: i'm not able to categorize fandoms in the Uncategorized Fandoms section. Only AO3 tag wranglers can do that, and I am not one. 

Any other amendments, let me know! I will do my best to get them done and open the signups in the morning on the 1st!

Another day, another admin post! Hopefully this will be the last big one before the tag set closes!

Star Wars - Jedi Apprentice
I am really sorry, but I have completely screwed up your nominations. Is there any chance you remember what you nominated, so that I can manually insert them into the tagset for you? Also, you are likely going to not be able to edit your nominations further, so if you had an empty slot, let me know what you intended to use it for and I'll nominate that for you.

Finally, if you have any questions or corrections for the tagset, please leave them here! I will be sorting out the Erik and Peter tagset issue, so I'll be in the admin console a while.

We're three days into nominations and I have some more queries. It's very important that these get answered quickly, as while unapproved fandoms are shown randomly, the admin console shows approved fandoms with outstanding tags in strict alphabetical order by fandom alone. Until these are resolved, I can't really progress past M. (If your fandom has been approved but characters have not, this is why).

If I don't hear back from you within two days, your nomination will be rejected. You are able to petition for your nomination to be added back in; I simply need to move these so that I can approve things.

• James "Bucky" Barnes & Wade Wilson - Wade Wilson is not an MCU character. Please move into Crossover Fandom

• Jethro Gibbs/Dwayne "King" Pride (NCIS) - Dwayne Pride appears to be from NCIS: Las Vegas. Are these shows related and do the fandoms consider them connected?

Doctor Who

• Please nominate into either Doctor Who (1963) or Doctor Who (2005).

Enola Holmes Series - Nancy Springer

• A number of these nominations have "Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle)". Is this meant to be a crossover between the two series?

Fate/stay night & Related Fandoms

• I'm very confused - it looks like there's several universes mashed in together here. Can the nominator please confirm they are all part of one universe?

Star Wars - AMT

• Poe Dameron/Rey - This should be nominated in the Sequel Trilogy.

Watch this space for the next mod post in two days time! Hopefully I will be up to "O" by then!
