Sign-Ups Are Open

[pumpkinkingmod]

Funny story, I was all ready to have everything open and then AO3 kept giving me errors every time I tried to open sign-ups. Some language may have been uttered that was inappropriate for trick-or-treater ears.

Sign-Up Here! | Sign-Up Summary | Tagset

Please, remember that while Do Not Wants are to be respected, you can not ask the person assigned to you not to give you a trick/treat. However, you can guide them to one that you would enjoy. For example, a fic where a child character has a nightmare would be a valid trick gift. A father werewolf and daughter werewolf bonding while hunting pitiful human prey would be a valid treat. You can also make it ambiguous or have elements of both.

I do have some sad news to share. Morbane has escaped. It appears that they made a rope using discarded Halloween candy wrappers. They then used it to climb out the hole in the roof. Then Morbane leapt off the roof and onto the saddle of a dire kiwi. The last thing I heard was a cry of "Viva la Yuletide!"

I am now sorely tempted to list "dire kiwis" under my likes.

I'm glad all the random errors have been conquered!

Quick note: there are two Elronds listed in the Silmarillion: Elrond (The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien) and an unambiguated Elrond listed at the end of the section. Would it be best to list both or is it still early enough you can remove one from the tagset?

[independence1776]

I noticed you fixed that; thank you!

[miaoujones]

hurrah, congratulations, and well done!

is it okay to c&p characters from the tagset if they don't pop up in the drop down on the sign up form?

[pumpkinkingmod]

Yes.

[rubylily]

Under "Uncategorized Fandoms," there's Star Stealing Prince (game), but the thing is, Star Stealing Prince already has a canonical tag. I'm not sure it can be changed now that sign-ups have begun, but I figured I should point it out.

[pumpkinkingmod]

It doesn't affect the ability for it to be requested, so I'll be leaving that one as is.

"Harrison Wells | Eobard Thawne (Flash comics)" isn't an actual character, he only appears in the TV show, the tag probably wandered over there by mistake? (The other two tags there were probably meant for the TV show as well.)

In the Kingdom Hearts tags there's both Master Xehanort and Xehanort, it's the same character.

[pumpkinkingmod]

Isn't this Eobard Thawne? http://www.dccomics.com/characters/reverse-flash

[falkner]

Same name, but different characters. The Eobard Thawne who also goes by "Harrison Wells" (an identity he stole from someone else) is a TV show only character.

TV show's Eobard
Comics' Eobard

[pumpkinkingmod]

Better? Since I don't know if it was originally a typoed comic nomination or a wandering show one I put one in each.

[falkner]

Looks good!

While I'm not offering or requesting it, I could see someone wanting to separate old man Xehanort from Apprentice Xehanort, since there's amnesia standing between the two.

I nominated Abelas under Dragon Age Inquisition. He shows as approved, but he's not showing up in the tagset.

[pumpkinkingmod]

Fixed

[alteregon]

Michel Ney in Napoleonic Era RPF has acquired something in () of which I have no idea what it's doing there? Sorry, only just noticed that while signing up...

[pumpkinkingmod]

He wouldn't stay out of the Hetalia fandom. I had to change the tag to get it to stay put and at the time I was getting frustrated with wandering characters.

[alteregon]

I'm sorry, but I'm laughing so hard right now at the idea of him sneaking back into Hetalia all the time.

[evil_plotbunny]

The kiwi got there then. :) We were a little worried that it might get lost in the tagset, wandering from fandom to fandom. We'd send Morbane back to you but I fear we will be needing them soon. *insert flanick here*

[pumpkinkingmod]

I can always rekidnap them later.

Beware - I may see about getting a few zombie Haast's Eagles.
