Evidence Post

[fgemods]

Nominations open here!

Are you nominating a fandom, character or relationship that may appear ineligible? Please use this post to submit evidence that it qualifies under our rules. It would be a good idea to post here if your fandom, character or relationship has more than 10 works (complete, in English) but:

• They have been written by five authors or fewer
• They contain crossovers
• Your nominated character/relationship is not the main character/relationship in some of those works.

Evidence that will not be considered for eligibility is word count or archive-locking of tagged fics.

For more information on what fandoms, characters and relationships are eligible, please see the rules post.

A suggested template for your post:

That sounds like there are 6 authors (yourself, plus the authors of the remaining 9), if I'm not mistaken.

Well, also what counts as "main character"? He's only listed first or second on 4 of the ones that aren't by me (and one of those is the one where he has one line).

We do take into account tagging order when determining whether it's a main character, so it does sound like there are only 5 authors. To help us make sure, though, could you give us links to or titles of the ineligible fics?

Sure, no problem!

Best Kind of Surprise https://archiveofourown.org/works/13718937 - This is the one where it's not actually Caleb as tagged, but an OC baby named for him.

In a Perfect World https://archiveofourown.org/works/12812868 - No dialogue, just appears in Norma's thought process (tagged 4th).

The Battle Between Bloodlust and Protection https://archiveofourown.org/works/8024707 - I think I counted this one, but it's an AU where he's a vampire so...? Tagged sixth.

Under his Spell https://archiveofourown.org/works/8420680 - The one where he appears but is her unrelated husband, not brother.

Something to Hold On To https://archiveofourown.org/works/6914413 - Just mentioned in Dylan's stream of consciousness.

I Hope One Day, We'll Get the Answers https://archiveofourown.org/works/3796516 - Only shows up in a canon scene.

Runs in the Family https://archiveofourown.org/works/4194780 - Tagged second, but in actuality tagged fourth because the relationship is tagged first. It's about Norma and Emma and Caleb doesn't have that much dialogue. (This was a gift for me from a while back and is lovely, by the way! <3)

Norma Louise https://archiveofourown.org/works/3919432 - Unfinished fic where Caleb is there as a child in Norma's flashback, but unclear whether he would be significant in fic overall if the fic does continue.

And everything else is meee :) Of the authors I counted in addition, there's only one fic (Cake & Conversation) where Caleb is first or second tagged. The rest have him tagged fifth or later.

Just so you know for the future, we automatically discount incomplete fic, so some of those that you've listed didn't need to be pointed out.

I counted only 3 authors who indicated through tagging order and their summaries that Caleb was a main character in their fics (yourself, the author of Cake & Conversation, the author of I Want You to Stay) so it's in! Thank you for the links!
