Follow-Up Questions & Clarifications Post

[fgemods]

Hi, lovely participants!

We have been loading relationships with your responses into the tagset and approvals of newly-nominated relationships will be ongoing. But we still need your help! If you've nominated in one of the following fandoms, please look through and see if your relationship(s) need clarification.

A few notes:

• Some relationships have been removed from the tagset. These relationships were either crossovers (ineligible for this year) or had a fic/author count over the limit. However, if you believe a relationship you nominated should not have been removed (or was forgotten), please comment here. You can also contact us via email or the page-a-mod post.


• Most of the relationships requiring clarification have not been migrated yet. Once we know where to place them, we will add them.


• Nominations officially close Friday, August 7th @ 11:55 PM UTC.


• We'll have a list of rejected nominations and the reasons after nominations are closed.

Alliance-Union - C. J. Cherryh

To the nominator of this fandom, could you please consider nominating some relationships underneath it? The fandom by itself is not eligible for the exchange, but relationships underneath it may be eligible. Anyone else may also nominate eligible relationships for this fandom to get it approved.

Miscellaneous: DCU, Dragon Age, Harry Potter

A few miscellaneous questions!

• We believe we've properly sorted the Dragon Age nominations. Do they look correct?


• We believe we've properly sorted the DCU nominations. Do they look correct?

• Cassandra Cain/Harleen Quinzel (DC Super Hero Girls) - These versions of the characters do not appear in this subfandom? If we don't hear back from the nominator before the tagset closes, we'll move it to DCU (Comics).

• If you nominated any Harry Potter relationship for the Movies rather than the books, please let us know and we will get your nominations moved over.

Comments

[wallwalker]

If we're only considering the nominated Final Fantasy fandoms, then I would place Garland/Kuja in FFIX and Tidus/Wakka in FFX and FFX-2. (And yes, I would absolutely continue to advise combining them.)

[fgemods]

Thank you! That's good to know.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not sure as I'm not the nommer, but I think there are some pairings under Young Justice (Comics) that were meant to go under Young Justice (Cartoon). I could recall this wrong but I don't think Wally was ever in the YJ comics as he was a founder member of Teen Titans in the comic verse; however he definitely was in the cartoon.

[fgemods]

Good catch! We'll look into this more closely.

[fgemods]

After further research there is apparently a line of Young Justice comics where Wally West appears as Kid Flash that is based on the animated TV show. I am not a DCU fan/reader myself, but if he shows up somewhere in the comics, then he is eligible.

[redleaderfic]

Enzo Amore/Carmella/Colin Cassady : NXT
Kevin Steen/Sami Zayn | El Generico : NXT

John Morrison | Johnny Nitro/Ricochet | Prince Puma : Neither, that should be under Lucha Underground

[fgemods]

Thank you!

[fgemods]

Are you the nominator?

Both of the NXT pairings are also eligible in WWE, thus our question.

The last one is a crossover between WWE/Lucha Underground and I don't see any nominations for Lucha Underground. Did you nominate that fandom and it got merged into WWE on the old tagset?

[redleaderfic]

Are you the nominator? Both of the NXT pairings are also eligible in WWE, thus our question.

I am! (Although I think that particular nom came from the previous round.) 99% percent of their interactions have been as part of NXT, so I thought that was a better fit.

The last one is a crossover between WWE/Lucha Underground and I don't see any nominations for Lucha Underground. Did you nominate that fandom and it got merged into WWE on the old tagset?

It's not a crossover at all though, AO3 seems to not want to create tags for Johnny Mundo, John Morrison/Johnny's Nitro's current name, and keeps migrating it to the names he used in WWE. (It's the same thing with Kevin Owens, everything keeps merging with Kevin Steen, a name he's not used since coming to NXT/WWE.) Johnny/Puma is a completely Lucha Underground pairing, they had a long feud there

I have Lucha Underground on my nomination sheet as an approved fandom, but the other approved pairing I nominated for it, Angélico/Matt Cross | Son of Havoc/Ivelisse Vélez, looks like it got merged into the WWE tag set too.

[fgemods]

Oooh! I see what happened then. Good to know and thank you. There was a lot of merging categories in the old tagset that led us to start the new one. I'll get this updated.

[(Anonymous)]

What kind of clarifications do you need for the Kingdom Hearts pairings?

[fgemods]

We're hoping the person who nominated the relationships will confirm that they wanted those under Kingdom Hearts. With all the shifting done to the original tagset, we can't be certain everything was in the right place.

But if the original nominator can't chime in, we'd like confirmation that both characters in the relationship appear in Kingdom Hearts</em -- or if that relationship would be better suited for a different fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not the nominator for all of them, but I can confirm all those pairings are of characters that appear only in Kingdom Hearts and couldn't be from any other fandom.

[fgemods]

Thank you! We'll load those nominations with our next batch!
