Nominations Queries 1

[modzilla]

Thanks for your patience, everyone! And thanks for taking care to format the tags as I've asked, with "Group: " at the start of relationship tags - I really appreciate it.

I have a few queries and notes, by fandom.




Fence Series - Sarah Rees Brennan
Would Fence - Sarah Rees Brennan and C. S. Pacat, or some other label, suit? There seem to be two books in this series, one of which is co-authored, and they follow on from the canon tagged as Fence (Comics) on AO3. Is that right or is the book series more distinct from the comics than it appears?

Hetalia: Axis Powers
Group: Nyotalia (Hetalia)

I'm not familiar with this group - who does it include and did you have particular relationships in mind within the group?

IT (Movies - Muschietti)
Group: The Losers Club (romantic) (IT - Muschietti)

Could I check - so this is a polycule between all 7 members? OK if so, just want to make sure I understand this tag.

Loki (TV 2021)
Group: Loki & Freya (Loki TV)

Freya does not seem to be a character present on the show - consider nominating this relationship under Crossover Fandom, with canons specified?

Original Work
Group: Cricket-Playing Cricket Boy/His Biggest Fan Turned Boyfriend (Original Work)

Is the extra "Cricket" redundant or is this a request for an Orthopteran insect who plays cricket?

Group: Victorian-Edwardian Era Hybrid King Victward/Victorian-Edwardian Era Hybrid Queen Edoria

In original works tags I feel it's up to the creator to choose names. Please re-tool this nomination so that it conveys what you want to someone unfamiliar with the concepts.

Resourceful Young Lord Taken Prisoner/Clever Bastard That Ruins His Escape Plan (M/Any) (OW)

Is this a literal bastard (illegitimate parenthood) or is that more of a metaphorical description?

Scrubs TV
Group: Perry Cox/John "JD" Sullivan/Jordan Cox (Scrubs)
Group: John "JD" Sullivan/Christopher Turk (Scrubs)

Do you want Jordan Sullivan or John "JD" Dorian?

Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
Group: Anakin Skywalker/Padme Amidala & Obi-Wan Kenobi & Luke Skywalker & Leia Organa

As I understand it, Luke and Leia appear in the prequel trilogy only at a very young age and their characterization comes from other movies. Please consider nominating this relationship under Crossover Fandom.

Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
Group: Poe Dameron & Black Squadron (SW Sequel)

This also seems like a nomination for Crossover Fandom as the Black Squadron seem to get their content & characterization from comics - please clarify if not.

The World of Black Hammer
Before sending through the canon tag, may I check please what this canon covers and how it differs from Black Hammer (Comics)?

オルソドクシア / Orthodoxia (Music Video)
This is currently nominated with no characters or other tags, which is fine in some exchanges, but I am requiring creators to offer at least 1 tag under a fandom (not Any) and they will not be able to if there is none. Would Worldbuilding or something else cover your interests? Also to check that I have the right video, is this the one uploaded by Lasagne P?

異種族レビュアーズ | Ishuzoku Reviewers | Interspecies Reviewers (Manga)
Group: Female Reviewer/Succugirl of choice (Ishuzoku Reviewers)

To clarify, is that a female reviewer as an original character, paired with any succubus girl who appears in the canon? Or is it any female reviewer who appears in canon, paired with that reviewer's favourite succubus girl?



Also, if you see any typos or duplicates in the tag set or I've introduced an error when approving your nomination, please let me know.

"Resourceful Young Lord Taken Prisoner/Clever Bastard That Ruins His Escape Plan (M/Any) (OW)"

I meant a metaphorical bastard. I'm not sure how better to convey that within the character count? But I'm also not opposed to the other reading, so I don't mind the potential ambiguity you're pointing out. (noms page)

Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
Group: Anakin Skywalker/Padme Amidala & Obi-Wan Kenobi & Luke Skywalker & Leia Organa

As I understand it, Luke and Leia appear in the prequel trilogy only at a very young age and their characterization comes from other movies. Please consider nominating this relationship under Crossover Fandom.

The fic I was planning to ask for would be set while they're very young children in an AU where RotS happened very differently.

[modzilla]

Well, the (M/Any) isn't needed, especially with "his", but "Group: " is. Changing That to Who takes it down to 90 characters. Perhaps others have suggestions?

[modzilla]

I see. Please be aware that this exchange does not guarantee matching on specific AUs or prompts. I'd be willing to approve Group: Padmé Amidala/Anakin Skywalker & Their Children & Obi-Wan Kenobi (SW PT)?

[(Anonymous)]

I guess that works.

[modzilla]

Thanks.

Group: Female Reviewer/Succugirl of choice (Ishuzoku Reviewers)

It'd be a female original character (since there aren't any on-screen female reviewers in canon at the moment) paired with any succugirl!

[modzilla]

Thanks!

Group: Nyotalia (Hetalia)

Nyotalia is a group of canonical genderswapped characters.
It covers some 30 characters which can be found here:

https://hetalia.fandom.com/wiki/Nyotalia


More broadly speaking, it's a more or less separate and canonical AU to regular canon. My thinking was if anybody were to match on this group, I'd be happy with fic/comic involving any of them.

(The term and it's meaning are considered well-known within the fandom, so anyone matching on it would know the characters/setting it involves.)

Would it be better under worldbuilding?

[modzilla]

Sure.

Other: Worldbuilding (Nyotalia) (Hetalia AP) maybe?

Or potentially,

Any Nyotalia Character (Hetalia AP)

?


(Group: Nyotalia implies they all have to appear so I'd rather not keep that one.)

オルソドクシア / Orthodoxia (Music Video)

Sorry about that! I missed the part about fandoms needing at least one tag!
Could you add "Worldbuilding", "Tadashi Kunai/Any", "Tadashi Kunai & Any" ?
(The above is the canonical name of the priest in the video!)

"Other: Worldbuilding (Nyotalia) (Hetalia AP)" sounds good to me!


I would like to add that just (Hetalia) in the brackets would be fine too, it's gone through many iterations over the years (including world stars/world series/beautiful world/world twinkle) and all of them are gathered under Hetalia (that, and the fandom has been trying to move away from the AP nomer a bit, haha).

[modzilla]

That makes sense - sorry for being a bit thoughtless with the disambiguation tag. I'll fix it tomorrow - about to be afk.

[modzilla]

Thanks very much. And I wasn't sufficiently clear.

Could you please edit your nominations to add that? Otherwise I'll get to them a bit later.

[(Anonymous)]

No worries! I'll add them in now!

[(Anonymous)]

No worries, thanks for the hard work!

Group: Cricket-Playing Cricket Boy/His Biggest Fan Turned Boyfriend (Original Work)

The second cricket is intentional! I am looking for a bug boy playing the sport that shares his species name.

[mixtapestar]

'Fence - Sarah Rees Brennan and C. S. Pacat' would be perfect! The point was to include the books as well, which the existing 'Fence (Comics)' doesn't do. So that works great, thank you!

The World of Black Hammer

I probably should have submitted this as "The World of Black Hammer (Comics)", sorry, since there isn't any other media involved. The World of Black Hammer is the official name for a group of miniseries involving the same linked casts in the same city, published by Dark Horse. The potential point of confusion with "Black Hammer (Comics)" is that Black Hammer is the title of just the first miniseries, and most of the characters nominated appear in part or predominantly in other miniseries.

[shadaras]

Would "Group: Resourceful Young Lord Taken Prisoner/Clever Asshole Who Ruins His Escape Plan (OW)" be clearer in meaning?

[(Anonymous)]

Hi, your rephrasing honestly doesn't work for me, because it changes the character from "Cricket Boy" (i.e., bug humanoid) to just "Cricket" (insect without qualifiers).

If you're not willing to use the tag as nominated, can I have him at least listed as "Cricket-Playing Bugboy Who Is a Cricket" ?

SWST - Black Squadron

[igrockspock]

The members of Black Squadron like Jessika Pava and Snap Wexley appear on-screen in movies, although they may be more fleshed out in comics. I nominated Black Squadron as a group because I wanted to be flexible about which/how many members an author focused on, and also because I wasn't sure all the characters would fit in the character limit for nominations. I am hoping not to have to nominate this as a crossover because I have never read the comics and am concerned about receiving canon that I don't understand.

[(Anonymous)]

Not my nominations, but I did notice it, so I thought I'd mention just in case.

Detective Conan and Magic Kaito have been nominated as two separate fandoms. They're often lumped together in exchanges (and elsewhere) because they're set in the same world and have significant character overlap. At present, of the 4 Magic Kaito noms and 5 Detective Conan noms, three of them are identical (Group: Hakuba Saguru/Kuroba Kaito, Group: Kudou Shinichi & Kuroba Kaito, and Hakuba Saguru are nominated for both).

If you're looking for a comparison, it's similar to Arrowverse - they're separate series, each with its own protagonists, and you could technically write for either series without having seen/read the other, but the major characters are definitely showing up in each other's series regularly.

[modzilla]

I think a little clearer. Thanks.

[modzilla]

Hi, yes, sorry for misunderstanding and I'm happy to make further changes.

Group: Cricket-Playing Cricket (Bug) Boy/His Biggest Fan Turned Boyfriend (OW)
Group: Cricket (Bug) Boy Who Is a Cricket (Sport) Player/His Biggest Fan Turned Boyfriend (OW)

?

[modzilla]

Neat, thanks.

[modzilla]

Oh I see! Thanks, that clears up my confusion.

[modzilla]

Thanks, that's useful information. I'll ask if people would be okay with merging them and otherwise keep it in mind for next year.

Re: SWST - Black Squadron

[modzilla]

Thanks. Could we compromise on Poe Dameron & Jessika Pava & Snap Wexley? You could offer an author/artist expanded options in your prompts, and if the tag says Black Squadron, that seems *more* likely to me that a creator would draw on knowledge from canons you haven't consumed.
