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.

The page lists everyone I nominated, except I used a different transliteration for a couple of the characters (because the Wikipedia page uses inconsistent transliterations):
Choi Juwal instead of Joo-wal
Muyeong instead of Mu-young
Muyeon and Muyeong are different people (sister and brother).

American Wrestling Association

Mid South is a weird one because it later was the starting point for Bill Watt's attempt at going national with the Universal Wrestling Federation, so that's what the Wikipedia page is titled:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Wrestling_Federation_(Bill_Watts)
WWE
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WWE_alumni
WCW
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_Championship_Wrestling_alumni
Quick note about all the separate wrestling promotions: they're all owned by different people, have different TV shows and different casts of characters, and only respect each other's continuity when the feel like it.
What makes it a little weird is that a lot of wrestlers outside of WWE own their own wrestling characters and can take them from company to company, though often changing from good to evil or changing backstories around or whatever.
It's like if Christian Bale could just decide, screw Justice League, I'll go be Batman in the Avengers for a while. And then go be a tragic zombie Batman who was somebody's cousin on The Walking Dead, then show up on Game of Thrones as the evil Lord Wayne whose House sigil is a Bat. And then I'll go back to DC superhero movies, but I'll play my character from American Psycho instead and just hope no one notices I was the Batman guy.

The wikipedia page includes the cast list.
About the Three Ladies: they're the three attendants of the Queen of the Night. They always appear together, act together, and sing together. They have no individual characterization, so it wouldn't make sense to nominate just one of them.

Date: 2017-09-08 04:49 pm (UTC)A series of novellas, the first one being called All Systems Red. Here's the author's webpage for the series which mentions both chars nominated: http://www.marthawells.com/murderbot.htm

Twelve O'Clock High (1949)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041996/
WWII movie about bomber pilots, not to be confused with tv series of same name.

Date: 2017-09-08 07:02 pm (UTC)Being The Elite (Web Series) - there isn't a handy character list knocking around for this series, unfortunately, but this is its 'About' page from YouTube, and the nominated characters have all appeared in various episodes in recent weeks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2V6TA0OqHr9BojcHz9az-w/about
Empire State Wrestling - again, no handy roster list for this one, but all the nominated characters are referenced in the results round-up linked here. They were all regulars on the ESW roster for years: http://eswwrestling.com/results/2012-2/

Date: 2017-09-09 02:04 am (UTC)Here are a couple of random tagset issues I noticed.
-John Watson (Downey films) has migrated into Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle.
-Under The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien, I believe these two are the same:
Original Ent Character (Silm)
Shepherds of the Trees (Silmarillion)
because "Shepherds of the Trees" is another name for the Ents.
