Nominations Queries 1

[modzilla]

Thanks for all the nominations so far!

Alien Series - Nominator of Char: Xenomorph Characters (Alien Series), could I please check if this means "any (2 or more) Xenomorphs who appear in any Alien movie" or if it means original xenomorph characters?

Crossover Fandom
Nominator of Lieutenant Columbo (Columbo) & Any Character from Any Fandom, let's discuss please? My policy is not to approve Creator's Choice of Fandom as I don't feel this is compatible with the lack of freeforms and the long creation period in this exchange. Are there any other things you're interested in for Columbo such that "mash him up with a character from any other fandom" could be a prompt among many prompts? Otherwise, interested in your thinking!

Nominator(s) of Twilight characters - please specify if you mean Twilight books or movies?

Doctor Who - We've approved nominations in the 2005+ series, and if possible, I'd prefer a distinction between the 1963+ series and the 2005+ series. Can that work for you?

Le Fantôme de l'Opéra | Phantom of the Opera & Related Fandoms - This is an All Media Types nomination. Nominator, were you thinking of any particular version, or if you really want All Media Types, please give more detail about why you'd prefer that?

Star Wars Legends: Republic Commando Series - Karen Traviss - we have already approved Star Wars Legends - All Media Types. We will fold your nominations into this, or please let us k now if you have an alternate suggestion.


*
庆余年 | Joy of Life (TV) - we'll approve "Eldest Princess of Beili/Li Chengru (Joy of Life)" with Eldest Princess of Beiqi; any objections?

Pentiment (Video Game) - we've approved "Sister Amelie & Father Thomas (Pentiment)" as "Sister Amalie & Father Thomas (Pentiment)" - okay?

Regarding the Aliens nomination: Any (2 or more) Xenomorphs who appear in any Alien movie or original xenomorph characters. If it is easier and more straightforward to just say the former, then that is fine by me. Thank you for running this!

[modzilla]

No, that's completely fine, I just wanted to double-check! Thank you!

[nemainofthewater]

Hello I'm the Joy of Life nominator, and no objections at all as I evidently didn't proofread well enough! Thank you!

[westiereads]

Hi! I just noticed that while my nominat of midsomer murders has been accepted, this one nomination of relationship has not:

Henry Marwood [dominic jephcott]/ Peggy Aynscombe

Do I need to redo something to get it through, or is it just not been going through yet? I can change the name if you guys prefer!

[modzilla]

It was comprehensible as nominated - thanks! With a few people approving things asynchronously, there may not be a clear pattern to what's approved first. Thanks for asking just in case there was a problem!

It is helpful to use ordinary capitalization, though - once a tag is approved in one capitalization style, it's difficult to change.

I spotted a wandering tag: Meteion (Final Fantasy XIV) & Noah (Xenoblade Chronicles 3) is under both Crossover Fandom and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 (Video Game).

[modzilla]

Thank you! Fixed now.

Re: Doctor Who

I suppose? That would probs end up w me requesting Doctor Who (Big Finish Audios) as well, but that's manageable.They're just not all actually as distinct as the separate fandoms would suggest

[modzilla]

Thank you! Please do that.

My understanding as an outsider is that the plots in Doctor Who media are relatively self-consistent. But in an exchange context, I find it discourages people from offering a character who appears across many parts if they're not sure what context they need to be familiar with.

'allo!
Somewhere there was a tip on shortening crossovers that were too long and putting the explanation of what they actually were on a post.

Doing it here, since I can't find where I originally read the instruction.

Julian Bashir (ST:DS9)/Elim Garak (ST:DS9)/Simon Tam (Firefly (TV)) & Kelas Parmak (ST:DS9) & River Tam (Firefly (TV))

I shortened 'Firefly (TV)' to FF to get it to fit.

So happy & excited this is back!!!! A huge thank you to everyone who is making this possible!!!!

Chirp, chirp!!

I'm not sure about that instruction, sorry!

I've approved your crossover. I approved it according to the logic of: if two characters in sequence in the tag belong to the same fandom, the fandom only needs to be listed for the last character. That saves space.

I do want to check with you about Kelas Parmak. This seems to be a novels-only character rather than a show character, and the nominated tag seems to cover the shows. It looks like you've nominated him in DS9. Could you please nominate and request them under a separate tag?

Welcome back!

[bardicraven]

'allo!
Works for me! Thank you muchly!

As to Parmak, while that is true, in other exchanges, he is nominated under the show, despite not being formally part of the show. (Tho' I have heard rumors about him being mentioned once in an episode?)

As a rule, I stay very far away from beta canon, but it just occurred to me that I believe he is mentioned in A Stitch in Time, so I can nominate him under that if necessary.

How would you like me to do that, since I have used my slots and I have him under my DS9 nominations as well as Crossover nominations?

The crossover ones shouldn't be a problem as long as AO3 lets me (tho' it might not since you approved it?), but I don't know what to do about the show ones, as I have never had the question before.

Please advise and I will go and do after I have properly woken up for the day.

Thank you! It's good to be back.

Chirp, chirp!! 🎶🎶

Hello,

Since I see all of your unapproved DS9 nominations for Kelas Parmak are in combination with DS9 show characters, we could approve them under Crossover Fandom, if you like? Alternately Stitch in Time book would work!

[bardicraven]

'allo!
That would be fine - and much appreciated! - on my part as long as you are okay with the fact that I - entirely in good faith, I promise! - would be getting a couple of extra slots or an extra fandom slot, whichever way you decided to go.

Either under Crossover or 'A Stitch in Time' would be wonderful - whichever you would find easiest to pounce.

Thank you for the suggestion! Appreciate the response!

Chirp, chirp!!

I noticed that I messed up the formatting on one of my nominations. I can't fix it myself now, so I would be grateful if you did that!

Char: Daud & Emily Kaldwin (Dishonored)

is of course meant to be

Daud & Emily Kaldwin (Dishonored)

[modzilla]

Not a problem, we'll fix that when we're able to approve new-tags-in-already-approved-fandoms again! (this is unfortunately broken at the moment)
