Sign-ups are open over here.

Tagset | Sign-up Summary

DW Letter Post | LJ Letter Post

I have extended sign-ups by an additional twelve hours. They now end at 11:59 Zulu on the 19th. I use the 24 hour clock so that is in the morning.

I have a few small final tag issues.

Eline Carien, Pelim Felicita, Sandwalker Jannik - They became unassociated. Where do they go?

The following have wandered into Original Work: Richard Adams, Ruby Carter, Yaël. If these are you are knowledgeable about these characters then comment.

Anyone know about where The Author showing up in Portal came from?

Ooh - I thought there was going to be a cleanup post, so I hadn't mentioned it before, but in Star Wars: The Clone Wars we have duplicate noms of Ahsoka Tano.

[sathinfection]

Rae Sloane is in Chuck Wendig's Aftermath novels - not sure how those were put into the tagset.

[pumpkinkingmod]

They were nominated under the movies.

Would it be possible to combine the "Jeeves - P. G. Wodehouse" characters and the "WODEHOUSE P. G. - Works" ones? I'm sorry, I keep making this happen. I really like Uncle Fred and Emsworth, who make the most sense within the All Works fandom tag (along with Mike and Psmith), since there's so much crossover. The Jeeves books are a subset of the Works, and there is duplication in the tagsets with Bertie and Jeeves. Sorry to be annoying and thanks! I don't think anyone has requested either fandom yet, so it should be okay.

[pumpkinkingmod]

Better?

[aurilly]

Yes, thank you! Sorry again!

[arithanas]

Sorry to bother the mod but could this be why my Jeeves - P. G. Wodehouse request didn't pass?

ETA: Yes, this was the reason!

[pumpkinkingmod]

Are all the characters you nominated under Wodehouse P. G. - Works? I had originally accepted it Jeeves - P. G. Wodehouse separately, but I just combined it after the request by aurilly. The reason I removed the Jeeves one was because there was already an offer for Wodehouse P.G. - Works. I'm not familiar with the fandom either way. Would you like it separated back out?

[arithanas]

NA, that's OK!

I just signed up and returned later to it to find my request denied, because I'm not in the other Wodenhouse's books.

They could be as they are right now. I'm just asking for a character and not against my writer using the rest.

Sorry!

[aurilly]

Glad it worked out! I was just worried that with two sets of tags for the exact same versions of the same characters, someone might have offered Jeeves or Bertie in one fandom, while someone else requested them in the other, and then the two participants would be unmatchable for no reason at all. It's just like how all the MCU characters from the different movies are in one fandom tag because the films exist in the same world.

For some reason when I try to sign up for the MCU and add Steve Rogers as a character, it tells me no suggestions found. But Steve Rogers was accepted as a nomination so! I thought I should bring that up. :)

[pumpkinkingmod]

Copy and paste the character from the tagset and into the character field.

[weakinteraction]

I have no idea whether this matters or not, but I just noticed that Loki (MCU), Steve Rogers (MCU) and Tony Stark (MCU) are all in "Avengers (Comics)" as well as the MCU tag proper.

[pumpkinkingmod]

It does matter but there are already multiple requests involving the characters in question. Based on prior experience AO3 won't remove the association on their end. I'll have to just double check all requests and offers for the Avengers comic before I generate matches.

[we_protect_each_other]

There's a wandered tag in the Portal section. Something called "The Author." Don't know if that helps you at all but just letting you know!

[pumpkinkingmod]

Somedays I really don't understand AO3's character wrangling.

[merit]

Eline Carien, Pelim Felicita, Sandwalker Jannik - should be Books of Oreyn - Cat Hellisen.

[galaxyhearts]

Hello! I thought I should mention that in the Homestuck character tagset in the sign-ups, somehow Severus Snape is in there (he's definitely in Harry Potter and not Homestuck). And in the character tagset for Kamen Rider Amazons (2016), Mizusawa Haruka is missing... he's pretty important as the main character, and definitely got nominated. Not sure where he wandered off to.

[taichara]

Is it possible to make "bucket list" offers (multiple fandoms in one offer, where one is willing to write any character for that fandom)?

[pumpkinkingmod]

No, sign-up settings can't be changed on AO3 once the first person has signed up.

[taichara]

No problem :3

Just to let you know that the Dai Gyakuten Saiban characters have also wandered into Gyakuten Saiban :)
