Nominations

[pumpkinkingmod]

Nominations are now open!

 

Some fandoms have specific guidelines.  Check them out here.  For fandoms that are split up I did not list every single possible subcategory for every one of those fandoms. 

 

You can nominate six fandoms with six characters each.

 

You may nominate generic original characters such as Original Male Elf, Original Sailor Senshi, Original Tag Wrangler, etc.  We will not be accepting specific original characters.

 

Do not use any fan nicknames when nominating characters.  Describe the character instead. 

 

We will not be accepting group or relationship nominations. If there is a character that is a special case in that they could sort of count as one individual or many then leave a comment to explain it to me.

 

The category of Original Works is allowed.  Crossover Fandoms is not.  All crossovers should be limited to your optional details.

 

If you participated in EveryWoman and want to know if canon helpers will be used in this exchange the answer is: no.  As long as Trick or Treat matches on just characters I won’t be using canon helpers here.

 

There are three rules for RPF:

1. For contemporary RPF the individuals must be over the age of 18.

2. Non-famous friends and family are not eligible

3. The person in question can be removed from the tagset at the request of the individual

 

I will be prioritizing fandoms that are easy for me to accept.  If you want to get your nominations accepted faster then here is how to help:

1.      Check the fandom guidelines to see if your fandom should be done a specific way.

2.       Disambiguate your characters.  It makes it less likely for me to make mistakes and is faster.  Disambiguating never hurts.

3.       Make sure you are spelling the character’s name correctly, especially if the character’s name is spelt differently in different canons. 

4.       Link me info!  If you want to link me to something like the fandom wiki page for each character then that is great!  TVtropes character list page?  That could work.  IMDB? Wikipedia?  If I don’t know a fandom I have to look it up and this will speed things up especially for small fandoms, Transformers, Tolkien, and comics.

Hi! I haven't ironed out all of my nominations yet, but a couple early ones I'm sending in are a little obscure: Aviary Attorney and The Sexy Brutale.

I am nominating Jayjay Falcon, Séverin Cocorico, and Léonie Beaumort from Aviary Attorney. (Here is the tvtropes character page and here is a link to the official website, which corroborates spellings and names.)

I am nominating Willow Blue, Trinity Carrington, Redd Rockbridge, Clay Rockbridge, Greyson Grayson, and Tequila Belle from The Sexy Brutale. (Here is a characters page from the official website.)

Thanks!

For Stand Still, Stay Silent, there's a wiki here: http://sssscomic.wikia.com/wiki/Stand_Still,_Stay_Silent_Wiki. City of Hunger has the same set of characters in different roles, I'd left a comment about that in the fandoms post.

A Redtail's Dream has a character sheet here: http://www.minnasundberg.fi/characters.php

Hope these help!

Dwarf Fortress

There isn't a wiki page for Night Troll Spouse, but the first paragraph of the page for Night Troll should explain it: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Night_troll

Original Sailor Senshi

*ears perk up*

[evilmuffins]

I nominated Empire of Corpses. For some reason, Ao3 never canonized the tags for any of the characters. Here's the wiki if you need to verify that they exist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Empire_of_Corpses

Zones of Thought series - Vernor Vinge

[kmfillz]

Zones of Thought comprises three novels currently: A Fire Upon the Deep, its direct sequel The Children of the Sky, and a distantly related book in the same universe, A Deepness in the Sky.

Here's the TVTropes page: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/ZonesOfThought
All the nominated characters are from AFUtD/TCotS. You can find them if you ctl-f on the TVTropes page. There is no convenient list of them anywhere that I can find on the web.

[straightforwardly]

Roguelight is a game which can be found here. "The Archer" is the description I went with for the main character since she doesn't have a name, but something like "Main Character" would work as well if that works better for you.

[burglebezzlemen]

I'm excited to take part in this exchange again!

A couple small canons I'm nominating where info and links might be helpful:

Lumberjanes is a series of comics. None of the characters have canonical last names, so I'll keep the nominations in the Name (Lumberjanes) format. There's a list at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumberjanes#Campers that includes everyone I'm nominating (Jen is under Camp staff, just below the Campers list).

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is a TV show -- all the characters I'm nominating are on the IMDB cast page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3339966/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast Note that the canonical tag for Kimmy's former boss Jacqueline is Jacqueline Voorhees on AO3. The character has divorced and changed her name to Jacqueline White in canon, which is now how she's referenced in IMDB.

Hi! I nominated Michelle Obama in US Politics RPF. The rest of my characters have been approved but she hasn't, so I thought I'd drop a line here about why I think she should be allowed and not fall into the "non-famous friends and family" category.

1) The Let's Move! campaign, which was a long-running political project spearheaded and run by Michelle herself (link)
2) Her political campaigning transcended her support of her husband on the campaign trail - not only did she campaign for Democrats during midterm elections, but she ended up being one of Hillary's most effective surrogates as well
3) Her moving speech at the 2016 DNC Convention, which was incredible
4) Aides have said that she, along with senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, was one of the two voices most strongly pushing President Obama forward on gay rights (link)
5) She was in the 2016 Trick or Treat tagset (link).

I can find more links if you want! If your decision is not to allow her, though, I understand and I can find an alternative nomination.

[sathinfection]

I nominated a character, Rhi Teshet, from Yoon Ha Lee's Machineries of Empire series. He's only in a short story published online: https://www.tor.com/2017/02/15/extracurricular-activities/ Kel Khiruev and Shuos Mikodez are both characters from Raven Strategem that haven't appeared on AO3 yet.

[fleetsparrow]

Foyle's War. Basically, British crime drama, but during WWII. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foyle%27s_War

It's not really a good wiki on him, but this is the episode for Rex Talbot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foyle%27s_War_(series_2)#.22Among_the_Few.22

Hi again! :D

In Doctor Who (2005), one of the nominated characters is Missy | The Master. I think this could end up being difficult - the two Master regenerations in New Who are very different, and I think lots of people would only be comfortable requesting/offering one or the other. (Similar to nominating "The Doctor" as one character versus nominating as the five different New Who regenerations of The Doctor.) I for one wouldn't be able to offer/request Missy if she's combined with Simm's Master.

Would it be possible to split into Missy (DW 2005) and Simm!Master (DW 2005)?

[triplesalto]

Never mind, we've got a Harold Saxon | Razor | The Master (DW 2005) tag in there now, so we should be good. :) I still think the piping might be confusing, but I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed.

[kissoffools]

Hi! I nominated the Netflix TV series "Fuller House", which is the sequel to Full House. I nominated Steve Hale and Matt Harmon, both characters on the IMDB page here. I nominated them both under "Fuller House" rather than "Full House" because, while the canon is continuous from one show to the next, Matt Harmon is only a character in "Fuller House". He doesn't appear in "Full House", so I didn't feel it was fair to nominate him under that show. So "Fuller House" it is! Hope that's all right!

[elleth]

And here's info about Barrow-wights: http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Barrow-wights and Houseless Elves: http://askmiddlearth.tumblr.com/post/65619642239/ghosts-in-middle-earth - what that post doesn't mention is that the Houseless are generally elf spirits, hence the tag. Both tags are plural because there's more than one creature of that type, not necessarily because they appear or act in a group. I hope that makes that acceptable?

[yuuago]

Year in Hereafter cast list can be found here.
And Small Trolls cast list is here.
I've disambiguated everything in the noms, but, y'know. Just in case.

[jordannamorgan]

I'm guessing my MCU nominations don't really need a reference link. :) Here are the ANN pages for my anime fandoms though, if it helps.

Kekkai Sensen | Blood Blockade Battlefront

Fullmetal Alchemist (Anime 2003) (note: Noah is only in the movie that follows the series)

Noragami

Owari no Seraph | Seraph of the End

Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle

[eggsbenedict]

Hello! Most of my tags are canonical but here's info for the unlinked ones:

A list of Vatican Miracle Examiner characters is on Wikipedia.
Masaru Sera info is on Wikia.
YorHa Commander info is also on Wikia.

[eggsbenedict]

Alsooo, Guilty Gear character list is here!

[falkner]

Minor thing, but the community info page still links the 2014 collection.

[weakinteraction]

I'm finding it really difficult to find an easy to use source for the character names for 16 Ways To Kill A Vampire At McDonald's (I ended up replaying the start of the game to check them) but I promise they're right.

(Some of them were also in the tag set for Press Start, don't know if that helps.)

[sidewinder]

Just something odd I noticed - In Law & Order SVU, John Munch is showing up as "John Munch (bad tag)" instead of "John Munch (SVU)".

[pumpkinkingmod]

I had accepted it as John Munch (SVU) but the tag was wandering into Homicide: Life in the Street. So I had to delete it and replace it with something else. The "bad tag" was me getting frustrated with AO3. For the sake of the exchange just pretend it says "SVU".

[isabelquinn]

I've nominated 3D Movie Maker, general Wikipedia page can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_Movie_Maker

(the transformers links will need to be c/ped, DW does not like them ending in a ")")

[snowynight]

Two of my nomination are quite rare, so here are link to the information

Affairs of the Court: Til Death Do Us Part - Episode 3 of the Affairs of the Court series; TV Trope Character page: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/AffairsOfTheCourt

Cannonfire Concerto: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.choiceofgames.cannonfireconcerto. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't find a list with character full name online. What can I do to make your job easier?

The Reward (2013): the character: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2697868/

[straightforwardly]

Under my Kalevala noms, there's a couple of characters that might be confusing. I've nominated both "Louhi's Daughter" and "Louhi's Second Daughter". Neither of them have names, but they do have distinct roles in the Kalevala.

"Louhi's Daughter" is meant to refer to the daughter who appears first and most often, and eventually marries Ilmarinen . Some of her appearances can be found here, here, and here.

"Louhi's Second Daughter" is meant to refer to the daughter that Ilmarinen tries to marry after the first one dies, and only appears here.
