Nominations Queries 3 - Sign-Ups Soon

[modzilla]

Much gratitude to AO3 Support and AD&T teams, plus the multifandomtropefest mods and karanguni, for helping sort out our tag set! The remaining broken things are on me.

Sign-ups will be slightly delayed, sorry, but should begin before the end of July 31 in EST.

Please continue to check the tag set for errors - we really appreciate it!

Please also help us with the following queries:

Batman: Wayne Family Adventures (Webcomic) - who counts within the group "Batfam" for this canon, please? This follows an earlier discussion.

Dangan Ronpa Series - we are folding Dangan Ronpa 2 and Dangan Ronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc into this nomination. Please let us know if there are problems here.

崩坏：星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game) - which characters are covered by the "Stellaron Hunters", please?

Dragon Age (Video Games) - we have merged II and Inquisition into this label. Please let us know if there are problems here.

Marvel Cinematic Universe - we have approved the characters under Crossover Fandom according to our best guesses; please correct us if something is wrong.

Saiyuki (Anime & Manga) - we're having trouble finding the character "The Uten Sanzo". Please help us out. Is this an implied or original character?

Saiyuki Ibun - we're not quite sure who's meant by "The current Muten & Maten & Seiten Sanzos (Saiyuki Ibun)". Current to what - and are these implied or original characters? Please help us out.

Star Trek: Prodigy - for the nomination of Caitian(s) and Gwyndala, could you please confirm if this is a specific group, or original Caitian characters, or something else?

Star Trek: The Original Series - for the Enterprise nominations, it's not clear to us that the ship is a character - could you clarify please?

'allo!

Nominator here! (I feel like I should apologize for how inadvertently complicated my noms got this year!)

"Star Trek: The Original Series - for the Enterprise nominations, it's not clear to us that the ship is a character - could you clarify please?"

My thinking was that whether or not OTHER people see her as a character (in- or out-universe), I believe that Mr Scott does. 'Wee bairns' for the engines and a'that.

Not necessarily (tho' open!) to the Enterprise being a shipgirl or sentient in that sense, but simply that Scott sees her in that grey area sort of way.

Hope this helps!

And if you are specifically referring to my singular nomination of Enterprise (it really helps if I read ALL my noms for a fandom!), I was thinking of the Enterprise in a multi-faceted way, as a gestalt of the crew, the machine, the feelings the crew has for the machine, etc.

So, not necessarily a character directly as such, but because other people have thoughts and feelings that create the character, so therefore is one.

Again, hope this helps! It's really hard to translate impressions into words-that-make-sense-to-other-people. Wingtips crossed that I succeeded!

Chirp, chirp!!

Hello,

Sorry for the late response!

I'll add Scotty & the Enterprise; I can work with "other characters see [?? ambiguous] as a character". However, I'm a little unsure about the gestalt of the crew idea - that seems closer to me to a prompt for a particular approach and story than it seems like something where you and a creator/recipient would start out from the same expectations.

'allo!
No worries - I super-appreciate your reply!

That works - I appreciate you letting me know.

Chirp, chirp!!
