Second Nominations Questions

[modzilla]

Thanks to those who pointed out earlier errors. I haven't done all the fixes or additions that were suggested, but while I work on those, I have further questions.


Book of the Ancestor Series - Mark Lawrence - There's a Jole nominated, but I can't find them. Is this Zole?

Dragon Age (Video Games) - I need some help with the nomination "Group: Female Cullen/Female Amell & Meredith/Cullen & Cullen/Bethany & Cullen/Female Hawke" - it doesn't look to me as though Cullen has a customisable gender? If they do, which genders are meant for the relationships other than the first one?

Fallout (Video Games) - I approved this as a broad tag before, but I also have received nominations for Fallout 4 and Fallout: New Vegas. Could I get some opinions on whether this should be combined or separate, please?

A Land Fit for Heroes - Richard Morgan - Is the sword Ravensfriend a sentient character?

Natsume Yuujinchou | Natsume's Book of Friends - In the nomination "Group: Youkai (Natsume Yuujinchou)", is this any youkai or a specific set of youkai?

Power Rangers (Boom! Comics) - I can't find Ranger Slasher Kimberly Hart. Is this meant to be Ranger Slayer Kimberly Hart?

Ruse (Comics) - is the "Danik" separate from Bishop? How does this work?

this is not an answer to any of these questions, but for the borderlands nomination 'Group: ClayWainwright Jakobs/Alistair Hammerlock (Borderlands games)', this looks like a typo happened somewhere. clay is a separate character from wainwright jakobs. maybe someone intended to nominate a few things??

[modzilla]

It's probably something I messed up when approving. Thanks, I'll look into it.

Please ignore if it's already on your list, but I'd love to get my Group: Elim Garak/Kelas Parmak (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) nomination changed to Group: Elim Garak/Kelas Parmak (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Relaunch Novels) if it's not too much trouble.

I'd initially gone with the main show because that's how the character is shelved on AO3, but he's almost entirely developed in the relaunch novels, and since there's already a nomination with him under that fandom name, it makes sense to put them together.

[modzilla]

Of course, sorry, I forgot that we'd discussed that earlier.

two Dreaming of Sunshine - Silver Queen characters -- Sai (DoS) and Hatake Kakashi (DoS) -- have ended up in the Naruto fandom.

[modzilla]

Thanks, I'll chase them down soon.

Yes, sorry, "Jole" should be "Zole".

[modzilla]

Thanks - approved now.

Natsume Yuujinchou

[(Anonymous)]

Any. Major or minor characters. Cannon or OC. Whatever fits with the author's idea/story.

Re: Natsume Yuujinchou

[modzilla]

Thank you, but I need it to be more specific than that so that other people can offer and request the tag with a shared expectation of what it means.

You can have Original Youkai Characters, or Worldbuilding, or specific sets of youkai characters if there is a group that fits group label.

Hi, different anon! Would "Creator's Choice of Canon or OC Youkai Characters" be specific/clear enough? I have seen some other exchanges use that kind of phrasing.

Re: Natsume Yuujinchou

[(Anonymous)]

"Creator's Choice of Canon or OC Youkai Characters" might work. Natsume Yuujinchou is definitely a “monster of the week” kind of show. With lots of different sub-groups of youkai, from main characters, the dog pack, youkai from the book of friends, exorcists’s familiars, to random encounters.

I could only add so many requests that simply putting down Youkai seemed easier. Sorry for it being a headache.

Re: Natsume Yuujinchou

[modzilla]

Okay. We will try this.

Hi, Danik and Bishop are distinct characters. Bishop as Danik's aspect is a popular fan theory, but it was never confirmed in the comic itself. Even if she is, aspects of Danik are unique characters. They should be treated separately from him. Thank you.

[modzilla]

Thank you!

A Land Fit for Heroes - Richard Morgan - Is the sword Ravensfriend a sentient character?

Although Ravensfriend isn't explicitly sentient, it's capable of containing something like a soul (which ends up being used to transmit life to a human), it embodies a set of ideals that you could interpret as magically affecting its bearer, and the main character talks to it as if it were a companion. I could definitely see why someone would request fanwork for it as a character.

/not the nominator, for what it's worth

[modzilla]

Thanks. To be clear, the nomination is "Group: Ringil Eskiath/Ravensfriend (ALFfH)".

For Dragon Age, Cullen doesn't have a customizable gender, so I think that's a mistype.

[modzilla]

Thank you. I've taken it out for now to open sign-ups; hopefully the nominator can get in touch and possibly add it back in during sign-ups once we've sorted out what they mean.

[chomiji]

OH NO! I found a typo!

Probably too late to do anything about it!

In The Murderbot Dairies, "Amenda" should be "Amena" (no "d").

[modzilla]

Yes, I saw that from your sign-up - feel free to edit to talk about Amena.

I already have another correction to make to the Murderbot Diaries tags, so I'll correct this one as well after sign-ups close.
