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.

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.

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