Nominations remain open through September 8, 7:59 PM EDT/23:59 UTC. After that, there are a couple of days set aside for me to finish approvals and clean up.
Here is the nominations post.
A couple reminders and clarifications:
- Mixed &/ relationship tags will be rejected. (Ship: X/Y & Z, Ship: X/Y & A/B, etc.)
- Please avoid pipes except when it would be impossible to tell which character you mean without them. Pipes are when a character tag has two names, like this: "Third Trick or Treat Exchange Mod | Pumpkin King III". Since that character is most commonly called Pumpkin King, you would nominate as Pumpkin King III even if the canonical is piped.
- Nominations should be for ships and characters, not plots. There's some wiggle room in Original Work for setting up situations, like "Character Who Has Done X". But there are a few Original Work nominations along the lines of "X character learns ABC and does 123 actions" which won't be approved.
- You don't need to include the middle names for Harry Potter or Fire Emblem Three Houses characters. (or most other canons, but those are the ones I noticed today.)
Thank you!

Date: 2023-09-09 02:14 am (UTC)Firstly, I'd nominated Female Speakeasy Bartender and Speakeasy Bartender from "Sleep No More - Punchdrunk" separately. This is a "canonical" alternate character - the character is usually male and I wouldn't expect anyone matching on Speakeasy Bartender to write them as female, but they haven't always been played by men in this production. Both were approved as Speakeasy Bartender, creating the error.
Secondly, would you please add:
The Shadow Campaigns - Django Wexler
Winter Ihernglass (Shadow Campaigns)
Janus bet Vhalnich (Shadow Campaigns)
Thanks!

Date: 2023-09-10 05:35 pm (UTC)For future reference, I didn't change the bartender tag when I approved it -- AO3 automatically sorted it as Speakeasy Bartender (Sleep No More) because the two tags are synned. So for future exchanges, you might want to nominate with a different disambiguation like Female Speakeasy Bartender (SNM - Punchdrunk) or similar. That will prevent your page from locking up.
