Nominations Open

[pumpkinkingmod]

Nominations are open! They close on September 8 at 7:59 PM EDT/23:59 UTC.

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.

Tag Changes

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.

Since last year's round, Romancing SaGa 3 (Video Game) was officially released in English, and now we have canon spellings for the characters' names, so the names that need updating:

Monica Ausbach (Romancing SaGa 3) → Monika Ausbach (Romancing SaGa 3)
Tatiana Razaiev (Romancing SaGa 3) → Tatyana Rzhyev (Romancing SaGa 3)
Shonen (Romancing SaGa 3) → Young Boy (Romancing SaGa 3) (*this character's name is never revealed in canon, so he's just referred to as "young boy")

[hearthouses]

Hi! This may seem silly and please don't change it if it's too annoying and time consuming, but the disambiguation for the fandom IT (Movies - Muschietti) is currently (It 2017), which is inaccurate now that it's a duology. I would suggest changing the disambiguation to (IT - Movies), if it's not too much trouble? Thank you!

Re: Tag Changes

[falsettodrop]

Under 'Elite (TV)', the character Polo is nominated twice—once just as Polo, and the other as his full, canonical name. If we could remove the option with just his nickname that would be appreciated!

"Hollow Knight (Video Game)" has become "Hollow Knight (Video Games)" and it's duplicated in the tagset - I'm guessing because there's been new noms this year. I'm not familiar with the canon so I don't know if the character tags are all correct.

[philstar22]

Okay, I haven't done this before. Are we just nominating things that don't already have tags, or are we nominating things that do have tags in the set?

[pumpkinkingmod]

Welcome to Trick or Treat!

You may nominate any character not already in the tagset, whether the fandom is already in the tagset or not.

Hey! I’m nominated for “The last of us (video games)” there are two categories. I’m assuming last year they didn’t didambiguate with video games but the main category is “The last of us (video games)”, and it’s been split into “The last of Us” and “The last of us (video games)”. Ellie needs to be moved to “the last of us (video games)” if possible please! Thank you!

[(Anonymous)]

I just realized this might sound confusing, because I’m confused reading this, sorry, lol!

I meant to say this shows up under video games:

The Last of Us
The Last of Us (Video Games)

The second one is the parent tag that shows up in the archive, and that’s where all the nominations are. Sorry!

Buffyverse -- TV shows only, and not Season 8-12 comics?

[pumpkinkingmod]

Yes, that is meant for the TV shows only. If you'd like to nominate for those comics, how about Buffyverse (Comics 2007)?

[(Anonymous)]

In TV Shows;

“Black Sails” has a tag that doesn’t need to be there:

John Silver (Treasure Planet)

In Video Games:

“Assassins Creed - AMT” has some tags that don’t need to be here:

“ Calico" Jack Rackham (Black Sails)
Anne Bonny (Black Sails)

[pumpkinkingmod]

Thank you! These will be fixed before signups open.

[facethestrange]

FWIW, there are duplicates under Discworld - Terry Pratchett:

Thank you! These will be fixed before signups open.

I'm seeing the various Legend of Zelda Links wandering between the TLOZ fandoms, like BOTW Link hanging out in all of them. I'm not sure how easy that is to fix, but it doesn't seem intentional?

[pumpkinkingmod]

It isn't. Thank you! These will be fixed before signups open.

[zdenka]

Some wandering tags:

Under 魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù, it looks like a couple characters have wandered in from The Untamed:

Gusu Lan Sect Disciple Wèi Yīng | Wèi Wúxiàn (AU-The Untamed)
Lan Yi (The Untamed)

And under 陈情令 | The Untamed (TV), we have some characters wandering the other way:

Madam Lán (Módào Zǔshī)
Niè Huáisāng (Módào Zǔshī)
Wēn Qíng (Módào Zǔshī)

Also, Paris (Rómeó és Júlia) has escaped into Romeo And Juliet - Shakespeare.

Thanks for all your work!

[pumpkinkingmod]

Thank you! These will be fixed before signups open.

Is this an appropriate place to ask for advice on how to nominate something? I'm interested in nominating these horror art pieces by Trevor Henderson (aka slimyswampghost) but uncertain how to do this for... tumblr posts.

The posts are as follows:

[fencesit]

Hi, not the mod, but I will tell you how I'd nominate them:

craigslist found footage posts - Trever Henderson | slimyswampghost

then I would nominate characters like:

Maintenance Tunnel Missed Connection Poster (craigslist - TH)
Sub-basement Landlord (craigslist - TH)
Pleasant Cottage Landlord (craigslist - TH)
Your Husband Jeremy (craigslist - TH)

Kamen Rider W is appearing in the tagset twice as "Kamen Rider W" and "Kamen Rider W (Double)" (with the characters split between the two)

[pumpkinkingmod]

Thank you! This will be fixed before signups open.

[rubylily]

I found a duplicate: Hollow Knight is in the tag set twice, under both Hollow Knight (Video Game) and Hollow Knight (Video Games).

[pumpkinkingmod]

Thank you! This will be fixed before signups open.

[kitsunerei88]

Duplicate in the Harry Potter tags as well: Percy Weasley.

[pumpkinkingmod]

Thank you! This will be removed before signups open.

Did you change my Fandaniel & Zenos yae Galvus (FFXIV) nomination to Fandaniel/Zenos yae Galvus (FFXIV)? Because I'm really sure I nominated that as &, not /. Either way, is it possible to change it to &? Or do I need to use another nomination slot?

[pumpkinkingmod]

There is no such nomination in the tagset. I think you meant to leave this comment elsewhere. Perhaps at shipoween?

[lamiacalls]

Hiya! I nominated 6 Dimension 20 tags, all of which were approved. But when I checked this morning, only 2 of them appear to be in the tag set. I did expand all the categories to see if they wandered, but it doesn't seem like it, they've just disappeared.

I assume AO3 has eaten them, but I'm not sure how to fix it!

[pumpkinkingmod]

Hi! Not to worry; they're hanging out in the unassociated characters section. AO3 must have lost the associations, but they can be added back manually on my end. They will be in the fandom by the time of signups.

I just wanted to check on a tag - I had nominated some additional characters for Turn (2014) several days ago and they haven't been approved yet, so I wanted to check and make sure there weren't any problems with the nomination. No rush obviously, but just in case I needed to edit something, I wanted to check on that before nominations close!

[pumpkinkingmod]

No worries! AO3 hasn't shown me them yet, so I haven't seen them.
