[candyheartsex]

Nominations are still ongoing! Check out the tagset and make your own nominations here.

Notes: If your nominations have been approved under the wrong fandom, or if you have another problem with how they've gone through, please comment here!

Stargate: Atlantis: These nominations have been folded in under Stargate - All Media Types.

DCU (New Teen Titans), DCU (Doom Patrol - Rachel Pollack): These have been folded in under DCU (Comics), with the specific series disambiguated in parentheses.

Marvel (X-Men - Krakoa Era): This has been folded in under Marvel (Comics), with the specific series disambiguated in parentheses.

MASH (TV): Benjamin Franklin “Hawkeye” Pierce & A Baby has been approved as Benjamin Franklin “Hawkeye” Pierce & Any Baby. Charles Emerson Winchester III & his daughter(s) has been approved as Charles Emerson Winchester III & His Original Character Daughter(s). If the character has canonical daughters, please clarify here.

DC Comics (All Media Types): These nominations have been approved under DCU (Comics).

Pocket Monsters: Sword & Shield | Pokemon Sword & Shield Versions: These nominations have been approved under Pocket Monsters | Pokemon (Main Video Game Series).


Questions:

Crossover Nominations

Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing)/Cyrano de Bergerac: Nominator(s), could you specify a canon for Cyrano?

Buffy Summers (BtVS)/Bruce Wayne (Batman): Nominator(s), could you specify a canon for Batman?

Diana Prince/Xenk Yendar: Nominator(s), could you specify a canon for Diana Prince?

Dr. Manhattan & Ayanami Rei and Dr. Manhattan & Ikari Yui: Nominator(s), can you specify the canons for these characters?

Rorschach & Eric Cartman: Nominator(s), can you specify a version of canon for Rorschach?

The Comedian & Kaji Ryoji: Nominator(s), can you specify a canon for The Comedian?

Tales of the Rays (Video Game)

I have nominations for:

Mileena Weiss (Tales of the Rays)/Elle Mel Marta (Tales of Asteria)
Victor (Tales of the Rays)/Elle Mel Marta (Tales of Asteria)

It looks like these should be listed as crossover nominations. Is that acceptable, or is there an umbrella name for this series of games that you'd prefer to nominate these under?

Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types

Nominator(s), could you pick a more specific version? These are usually approved under their subfandoms.

All Media Types

The following fandoms are currently in the tagset as All Media Types but also have subfandoms in the tagset:

Fullmetal Alchemist - All Media Types
Wicked - All Media Types
Batman - All Media Types

If you nominated any of these and actually want a specific version of the canon, or if you want to make nominations only for a specific version (already approved or otherwise), please comment here. If not, I'll leave them as they are.

For future reference should all Pokemon nominations regarding the main series games just use the main series game tag? I think I inadvertently made your life worse because I differentiated SwSh the way the Fire Emblem games are.

Also um it looks like there's a repeat in the Pokemon Video Games: Hop/Gloria; Hop/Yuuri | Gloria (sorry, probably my fault.)

Thank you! <3

[candyheartsex]

Yes, if the Pokemon games are in the main series, please just use the Pokemon Main Video Game Series tag that's already approved. And no worries, it was easy to move the Sword and Shield noms.

And thanks, I've deleted the duplicate there.

There's a duplicate under 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018):

Shěn Wēi/Zhào Yúnlán (Guardian TV)
Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan

Other not fully disambiguated tags are also wandering in from the novel (镇魂 | Guardian - priest). They're not exact duplicates so far, but Kunlun/Shen Wei (Guardian) probably doesn't belong under the TV adaptation if a different version of the same character is the same as a duplicate? (It does belong under the novel.)

[candyheartsex]

Thank you! I've fixed those two and will take a closer look at the adaptation vs. novel tags.

[raininshadows]

Clarifying this in advance because I realized it was probably going to look a bit weird. I'm the nominator for "Heavenbreaker - Sara Wolf". To clarify, Hellrunner and Heavenbreaker are robots, but they can think and move independently from their human pilots and Heavenbreaker actively identifies with that name. (Also, I did check the spelling on the humans' names. Jozua is seriously how it's spelled in canon.) If you have any other questions, let me know. Thanks for organizing this!

[candyheartsex]

Great, thanks for clarifying!

[maulester]

Hello! I'm the guy who nominated Tales of the Rays!

Tales of the Rays lets you recruit characters from the other "Tales of" games, so it's by design already a crossover game, as it can be read in its wiki entry https://aselia.fandom.com/wiki/Tales_of_the_Rays

I explicitly nominated "Elle (Tales of Asteria)" because in this canon "Elle (Tales of Xillia 2)" already existed before the former was summoned into the world. I wrote another small post about how these two characters are different, with their wiki entries included, here https://yuletide-admin.dreamwidth.org/116867.html?thread=2809219#cmt2809219

Because of the shared name, nominating them only as Victor/Elle Mel Marta (Tales of the Rays) or Mileena Weiss/Elle Mel Marta (Tales of the Rays) will lead to confusion, hence my choice. The AO3 tag was already confused and has both Elles wrangled together, and a ticket was sent about it but it's yet to be fixed. I'd like to avoid that problem while nominating in this exchange.

Also, Mileena is an original character from Tales of the Rays, and Victor is the father of the child Elle, so he also comes from "Tales of Xillia 2".

By the way, the very epilogue of the game actually includes a scene in which due to Long Reasons the ties that still bound them to their original worlds are cut, which turns them into true denizens of the Rays world, Tir Na Nog. Another point made is that they have grown a lot in this world, making them different from how they were back in their original worlds. Personally with that and the fact that they canonically interact I don't see them as crossover relationships, or at least not in the way I see the term used in fandom, but this is also the first time I participate in this exchange and I don't know much about it.

[candyheartsex]

Ah, thank you! That makes sense. I'll approve them as-is.

[klutzygirl]

Whoever nominated for Witch Hunt (1994) nominated individual characters, not any ships.

[candyheartsex]

Thanks for catching that! I'll query it in the next post, but I've gone ahead and removed them from the tagset to prevent confusion.

[satai]

Hello! My partner and I are the ones who nominated the two MASH relationships here. Can confirm that Charles Winchester does not have any canonical daughters, so the tag as approved is appropriate. Thank you! :)

[candyheartsex]

Great, thank you!

[rubylily]

I spotted a duplicate under Umineko no Naku Koro ni | When the Seagulls Cry:

Beatrice the Golden Witch/Ushiromiya Battler (Umineko)
Beatrice the Golden Witch/Ushiromiya Battler

[candyheartsex]

Thanks, I've fixed this!

[lati]

There looks to be some small inconsistences in these nominations!

fandom: Pokemon Colosseum (Video Game)
relationships: Leo | Wes/Mirei | Rui (Pokémon Colosseum), Leo | Wes & Mirei | Rui (Pokemon Colosseum)

fandom: NieR Gestalt | NieR Replicant | NieR (Video Games)
relationships: Nier & Yonah (NieR Replicant)
Shadowlord & Yonah (Nier Replicant)

[quailfence]

Hello! Some Doctor Who tags seem to be in the wrong subfandoms:

The Doctor/Jack Harkness/Rose Tyler (DW 1963) - should be in Doctor Who (2005), as Jack and Rose only appeared in that show

Tenth Doctor/The Master (Simm) Is in Sarah Jane Adventures but should also be in Doctor Who (2005), as the Master never appeared In SJA

[candyheartsex]

Thank you! These were wandering, but they should stay put now.

Looks like some League of Legends: Arcane characters have wandered into League of Legends, and there are a couple of dupes:

Jayce (League of Legends)/Mel Medarda/Viktor (League of Legends)
This is the canonical tag, they almost certainly mean Jayce and Viktor from Arcane; it’s showing up under both fandoms

Jinx & Silco (Arcane), Jinx/Sevika (Arcane) have wandered into League of Legends

Jayce/Viktor (League of Legends) dupe? It’s showing in both fandoms but Jayce Giopara/Viktor (League of Legends) is in there under League of Legends and Jayce Talis/Viktor (A:LoL) is in Arcane also

Lest/Salo (A:LoL), Lest/Salo (Arcane)
dupe under Arcane

[candyheartsex]

Thank you! These should all be fixed now, but I'll keep a close eye on the Arcane and League of Legends sections.

[klutzygirl]

There's a duplicate in 9-1-1 (TV)

Evan "Buck" Buckley/Tommy Kinard & Maddie Buckley
Evan "Buck" Buckley/Tommy Kinard & Maddie Han (this is her married name, not her canonical tag)


Also, Supergirl (TV 2015) has been nominated on its own instead of being nominated in DC's Arrowverse.

[candyheartsex]

Thank you, I've fixed these!

[marquisguyun]

Hi! There is a duplicate tag in 二哈和他的白猫师尊 - 肉包不吃肉 | The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Meatbun Doesn't Eat Meat.

Chu Wanning/Mo Ran (Husky and his White Cat Shizun)

Chu Wanning/Mo Ran | Mo Weiyu

The piping is not necessary to identify this character, and I can confirm that Mo Ran is the more commonly used name.

[candyheartsex]

Thanks, I've deleted the duplicate with the piping!

[rubylily]

I found another duplicate, this time under Metaphor: ReFantazio (Video Game):

Protagonist/Leon Strohl (Metaphor: ReFantazio)
Protagonist/Leon Strohl (Metaphor)

[candyheartsex]

Fixed, thanks!

[(Anonymous)]

Hi, I'm the nominator of "The Dark Tower - Stephen King". It should have been under "The Dark Tower Series - Stephen King". Sorry for the mistake.

[candyheartsex]

Fixed, thanks!

[aquietjune]

Hey! Found duplicates under the Kusuriya no Hitorigoto fandoms (anime-onlies please don’t read this comment!)

• Loulan | Shisui & Maomao (Kusuriya no Hitorigoto)
• Loulan | Shisui & Maomao & Xiaolan (Kusuriya no Hitorigoto)

Are the same as:

• Shisui & Maomao (Kusuriya no Hitorigoto)
• Shisui & Maomao & Xiaolan (Kusuriya no Hitorigoto)

I would recommend keeping the first set only for Kusuriya no Hitorigoto - Hyuuga Natsu (the novels, under books) because it’s not a spoiler there, and keeping the second set in the Kusuriya no Hitorigoto (Anime). Alternatively, just keep the second set (the non spoiler-y one) everywhere. (The anime is airing next month and it would be such a pity if the anime watchers joined the exchange for the anime canon and found themselves spoiled for the story from the tag set :( )

[candyheartsex]

Thanks, the spoilers should be removed now.

Clarifying ahead of time for a fandom that might need it:

社內相親 | A Business Proposal (Hong Kong TV 2023)

There are no works for it, so it's unwrangled, and it's a remake of a Korean TV show (and webcomic) that does have existing works.

Here's a link to information about it: https://mydramalist.com/752535-a-business-proposal (https://mydramalist.com/752535-a-business-proposal)

To avoid piping, I used the local convention of [English Given Name] [Chinese Family Name] [Chinese Given Name]. I alphabetized by family name.

Thank you!

[candyheartsex]

Thank you!

Saw some duplicates under 내가 키운 S급들 | The S-Classes That I Raised (Webcomic)

Han Yoohyun & Han Yoojin (S-CtIR)
Han Yoohyun & Han Yoojin

Han Yoohyun/Han Yoojin (S-CtIR)
Han Yoohyun/Han Yoojin

Han Yoojin/Sung Hyunjae (S-CtIR)
Han Yoojin/Sung Hyunjae (S-Classes that I Raised)

I think the S-CtIR noms should be deleted since they’re non canonical, to avoid messing with the novel nominations?

[candyheartsex]

Thanks, I've removed the duplicates.

[teaotter]

In Family By Choice, two of the tags are the same characters with different romanizations:

Yoon Jeongjae/Kim Daewook (Family by Choice)

and

Yun Jeong Jae/Kim Dae Uk (Family by Choice)

[candyheartsex]

Thanks, I've removed the duplicate.

[facethestrange]

I found a duplicate:

Ava/Eleanor (Bunny - Mona Awad)
Ava/Eleanor | The Duchess (Bunny - Mona Awad)

[candyheartsex]

Thanks, I've deleted the duplicate!

[pure_anon]

I nominated Buffy The Vampire Slayer (TV) and Xander Harris/Buffy Summers, but I didn't realize we needed to format it as Buffyverse (TV) before I submitted. It won't let me go back and edit it--would it be possible to have that submission adjusted to the proper format? I apologize for my mistake!

[candyheartsex]

No problem, I'll add it to the tagset.

[(Anonymous)]

Under "Wicked (Movie 2024)", several ships have been approved twice with different disambiguations.

Elphaba Thropp/Fiyero Tigelaar (Wicked 2024)
Elphaba Thropp/Fiyero Tigelaar (Wicked Movie)

Elphaba Thropp/Fiyero Tigelaar/Galinda Upland (Wicked 2024)
Elphaba Thropp/Fiyero Tigelaar/Galinda Upland (Wicked Movie)

Elphaba Thropp/Galinda Upland (Wicked 2024)
Elphaba Thropp/Galinda Upland (Wicked Movie)

[candyheartsex]

Fixed, thanks!

Tag inquiry

[(Anonymous)]

Hello, I'm earthsmightiestdorks on AO3

Since nominations are closing soon, I'm writing this comment to try to understand why one of my tag nominations hasn't been approved yet.

I didn't see any specifics about nominating ensembles other than being aware it will refer to "any 2 or more members". I do understand this and I'm okay with giving the creator that freedom.

I nominated "Jung Hoseok | J-hope & TOMORROW X TOGETHER | TXT Ensemble" under the BTS fandom because this tag focuses on the BTS member. Is that incorrect? Please let me know if I should modify this tag nom somehow

Re: Tag inquiry

[candyheartsex]

Ah, I was saving my question about this for the next query post, which will probably go up tomorrow. But since you're here--since the tag involves two separate fandoms (even if it's more focused on someone from one RPF fandom), it should probably be nominated under Crossover Fandom. I can make the change on my end if that's easier for you, though.

[(Anonymous)]

Not my nomination, but Ichimaru Gin/Kurosaki Ichigo has been approved under both Tennis no Oujisama | Prince of Tennis and Bleach (Anime & Manga) - it should just be under Bleach. Thank you!

[candyheartsex]

Thanks, I've fixed that!

About my nomination

[arithanas]

Hi, hi!

I nominated "Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours | Around the World in Eighty Days—Jules Verne" because I would rather not have a movie!Passepartout, but the form keep recommending "Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours | Around the World in Eighty Days - All Media Types". Would it be possible to keep it contained just to the book?

Thank you so much for all your hard work!

Re: About my nomination

[candyheartsex]

No worries, I've approved this as just the book!

[ageorwizardry]

Under Nine Worlds Series - Victoria Goddard, this relationship has been approved with a misspelling:
Fitzroy Angursell/Cliopher "Kip" M'Dang (Nine Worlds)

M'Dang is incorrect. The character's last name is spelled Mdang.

I did not nominate that relationship, but I did nominate the same character in a crossover relationship:
Cliopher "Kip" Mdang (Nine Worlds) & Eugenides (Queen's Thief)

[candyheartsex]

Fixed, thanks!
