Countdown until nominations end.

You may nominate up to 6 fandoms with 6 characters each. Ships are not eligible. Vaguely defined groups of unnamed individuals are allowed. Original characters are allowed. We do not have a crossover section.

All character tags must be disambiguated. Character tags that are not disambiguated may be rejected.

Fandom Nomination Guidelines

Marvel Comics are being nominated by a character’s native universe.

DC will be divided by Earth designation, as well as its status relative to Crisis/Flashpoint for different Earths that share the same name. The “Main” Earth will be DC Earth-One for Pre-Crisis, DC New Earth for Crisis to Flashpoint, and DC Prime Earth for post Flashpoint.

DC's Arrowverse will consist of the shows Arrow, Black Lightning, Supergirl, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman, the Ray, and Vixen. Other shows that have crossed over but are generally not part of the ongoing narrative may be nominated separately. For example, Stargirl. The characters who have crossed over into Arrowverse, such as the 90s Flash TV show Barry Allen, may be nominated under their home show or Arrowverse.

Marvel Cinematic Universe consists of all Marvel Studios live action movies.

Buffyverse (TV) consists of the television shows for both Buffy: The Vampire Slayer and Angel: The Series.

DCEU consists of the movies Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, Justice League, Shazam!, Aquaman, Birds of Prey, and Wonder Woman 84.

Doctor Who is divided between 1963, 2005, and Torchwood.

Fate is divided into Grand Order, Stay Night, Extra/Extella, Prisma Illya, Apocrypha, Strange Fake, Prototype, and Requiem.

Mass Effect is divided into the original trilogy with Andromeda separate.

Dangan Ronpa has the original continuity together with V3 separate.

Star Trek is divided by show and the Alternate Original Series is alone. Movie characters from the Original Series or Next Gen movies may be nominated under the respective shows.

"Alternate Universe Works" - You may nominate canon characters in the style of original works. All of them must be disambiguated with "(AU-Canon)".

Examples
Kate Bishop replaces Clint Barton (AU-MCU)
Slayer Drusilla (AU-BtVS)

These will only be enforced based on what is in the tags. So if you nominate "Mermaid Diana (AU-Wonder Woman)" the person can fulfill it based on the 70s Wonder Woman movie, the 70s Wonder Woman show, Wonder Woman comic, the Wonder Woman pilot, or the DCEU Wonder Woman movie.

Note:

If any changes in your fandom have made a tag inaccurate since the last round--for example, if one character who was a mysterious anonymous figure has now been revealed to be two different people--you may let me know in this thread.

Community Challenge: Battle of the Bands

[sirvalkyrie]

After last year’s more complex and intense community challenge, this one is going to be simpler for our new Pumpkin King. Battle of the Bands is a community challenge to make 200 works influenced by music.

Nominate your favorite songs to be part of the challenge.

When you sign up there are two ways to indicate your interest in participating in this challenge. The first is to request a song as a fandom or request non-song fandoms and then in optional details list what songs from the Battle of the Bands list you’d like to be used for inspiration (you can just opt in to any if you so choose). The second is for non-song fandoms say in your request that you are opting into Battle of the Bands and what songs from the list you are interested in.

Song nominations will close one hour after the normal tagset nominations.

The Battle of the Bands tagset will not be used in matching and will just be used as an easy way for us to compile a list of songs that participants are interested in for Battle of the Bands. You must nominate specific songs and not “Any Beatles Song”. You may nominate specific covers of a song.

Works for this should be tagged “ToT: Battle of the Bands”

EDIT: I will do a mass accepting of songs each day at 23:59 UTC followed by resetting nominations. Everything in the tagset will still be there, you'll just get to reuse your slots. This will begin tomorrow (September 3).

EDIT2: BotB nominations are closed.
