Five Figure Fanwork Exchange

Hello, trying to head off a potential nomination issue. I just nominated Witness for the Dead by Katherine Addison, and I noticed the pre-approval noms synned it to The Goblin Emperor - Katherine Addison. While the two books do take place in the same universe, there is only one continuous character between the two books, and they take place in very different parts of the world. I'd prefer if they were separate fandoms. Especially since Witness was very recently released - I wouldn't want to assume that anyone had read it just because they read the first book.
