I am not AT ALL familiar with Ao3. How does one add a name/fandom to the list?

And, related, where do TV miniseries go? TV or Movie?

Thanks!

Can we nominate fandoms without nominating characters for them? I'm asking for two reasons.

I was planning to nominate a traditional ballad (The Demon Lover), which already has an AO3 tag. The stories already up have no character tags, and I'm not sure what to call the characters - some versions of the ballad give the ghost or the woman names, others don't, and realistically anyone offering it knows the story is about a woman and her late lover, so I would be inclined to leave the character list blank, but if that's a problem I can just call them Ghost (The Demon Lover - Traditional Ballad) and Woman (The Demon Lover - Traditional Ballad).

The other more serious problem is my perennial Yuletide request Liáo zhâi zhì yì | Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio - Pú Sônglíng. It's a collection of (very short) short stories, with no recurring characters, and I am always open to fanfic based on absolutely any of them, or a new story in the same style, so I'm really not sure what to do for character nominations. Generally for Yuletide Strange Tales is nominated (sometimes even by people who aren't me!) characterless, but if that's a problem here, I could nominate recurrent character types (poor scholar, monk, fox spirit, ghost). Are either of these options (no characters, general character types) OK with you? (If they're not, it's fine, I can always just pick one of the longer stories, with named characters, and nominate that, rather than the whole collection.)
