Nominations Questions #1; Two Days Left for Nominations

[modzilla]

Nominate HERE at the tag set. Nominations close at 11:59pm EDT on August 27.

Nomination queries

Thanks for everyone's nominations so far! Please help us with our queries.

Thanks also for the errors pointed out in the tag set - we'll catch up with those comments soon! A canon promo post will also go up soon.

Most of these queries are about groups and ensembles. If you want to nominate a group, please also help out tag sorters by clarifying who belongs to that group. FFFX's nominations are designed around relationships between individual characters, so if your nomination works out to "my favorite character + some others but I'm very flexible about which others", it may work best to nominate "char: my favorite character".

[annapods]

Hi!
The TeSTAR members' character tags are:
- Park Moondae | Ryu Gunwoo
- Cha Eugene
- Seon Ahyeon
- Kim Raebin
- Ryu Chungwoo
- Lee "Keun" Sejin
- Bae Sejin
Wikia: https://debutordie.fandom.com/wiki/TeSTAR

Re: original characters in Naruto, I'm fine with using the worldbuilding tag and making a note in my letter that OCs are welcome, this one can be removed from the list.

I'm available for more information as needed.
Thank you!

BTS

[annapods]

I realized there might be a similar question for 방탄소년단 | Bangtan Boys | BTS, here are the individual members:
- Jeon Jungkook
- Jung Hoseok
- Kim Namjoon
- Kim Seokjin
- Kim Taehyung
- Min Yoongi
- Park Jimin

Warhammer 40.000 & Warhammer 40.000: Rogue Trader (Video Game)

[firebatvillain]

I nominated in WH40k fandom but not in the video game, but I'm familiar with the game too, so I am happy to answer any other questions as needed.

WH40k is an "all media types" fandom with a large amount of media - books, several standalone video game series, and tabletop game stories. I nominated tags for Ciaphas, Amberley, Asurmen, and Jain Zar. More specific tags for these fandoms are suggested below.

Ciaphas Cain and Amberley Vail belong to the "Warhammer 40k (Novels) - Various Authors" fandom primarily - there's a canonical for that. If you want a more specific fandom tag, no canonical exists yet, but I would use "Ciaphas Cain - Sandy Mitchell" to refer to their novel series.

Jain Zar and Asurmen belong are featured in the overarching IP as whole, but get most of their characterizations in the Phoenix Lords novel series. You can use the "Warhammer 40k (Novels) - Various Authors" fandom for them. If you want a more specific fandom tag, no canonical exists yet, but I would use "Phoenix Lords - Gav Thorpe" to refer to their novel series.

Rogue Trader's characters are The Rogue Trader, Heinrix, Marazhai, Abelard, and a few others. (I didn't nom in that fandom, but hope that helps!)

Let me know if there are any questions I can help with!

Hi! For We Are คือเรารักกัน | We Are (Thailand TV 2024), the friends in the University Friend Group are:

- Peem
- Q
- Chain
- Pun
- Tan
- Fang
- Beer
- Mick
- Phum
- Toey
- Matt

If the group size is too large (since it’s 11, so technically over 10 people), that’s also understandable!

[trobadora]

Crossover Fandom
Oth: Worldbuilding (Grimm & Christabel - Coleridge)
Is this Grimm TV or Grimm fairy tales? Or something else?

Oth: Worldbuilding (Grimm & Guardian TV)
Is this Grimm TV or Grimm fairy tales? Or something else?

It's all Grimm (TV), sorry!

[darlas_mom]

I'm not the nominator, but I've seen Thunderbolts seven times. :D: The team lineup is Yelena Belova, Alexei Shostakov, Ava Starr, John Walker, Bucky Barnes, Bob Reynolds, and arguably Antonia Dreykov. (Kind of a grey area because

spoiler

Antonia dies before the team actually forms.

Steve Rogers does NOT appear in the film.

Call of duty nom, 6oC, original work + crossover DP JL

[krzeslicko]

In the remake (as far as I can tell), main members of 141 are
* Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley
* John ‘Soap’ MacTavish
* Kyle ‘Gaz’ Garrick
* Alejandro Vargas
* Captain John Price



For Six of Crows, the crows are:
* Kaz Breaker
* Inej Ghafa
* Jesper Fahey
* Nina Zenik
* Matthias Helvar
* Wylan van Eck



For original work Asexual Priestess of a God of Lust & The God she worships (OW) I was thinking gender either non applicable or fluid, sorry forgot to add that



Crossover Fandom
Danny Fenton (Danny Phantom) & Justice League (DCU)

I was thinking more funding members of JL since there are a lot of them otherwise. Founding members generally are:
* Superman
* Batman
* Wonder woman
* Hal Jordan
* Barry Allen
* Martian Manhunter
* Hawkgirl
* Cyborg
* Aquaman
* Billy Batson
Buuut since the canon changes basically from medium to medium, I'd understand if it's rejected

Warhammer 40000 and Rogue Trader

[topofthelighthouse]

Hello. I have requested both fandoms. As firebatvillain already said, "Warhammer 40,000" tag is an umbrella, all media types tag for many different medias. My nominations for that tag are for worldbuilding and original characters in the setting, so I can't recommend a more specific tag for them.

Warhammer 40000: Rogue Trader is a single video game set in the universe and my nominations for it are characters and relationship including characters that don't appear (to my knowledge) in any other warhammer media. Arguably, they could be nominated under the wider "Warhammer 40,000" tag, but as the core fandom for these seems to be different, I felt it was more appropriate to use separate tags. I can change my nominations if that causes any issues

[eggsbenedict]

Hi Modzilla and tag mods! Posting this here so my nomination in the approval queue makes sense.

SaGa Frontier's IRPO members are Fuse, Doll, Rabbit, Cotton, Silence and Ren.
Listed here: https://saga.fandom.com/wiki/IRPO

Tortall

[kitsunerei88]

Not the nominator, but for Tortall The Queen's Riders is defined military force and includes characters such as Sarge, Evin Larse, and Miri Fraser.

Re: Tortall

[mimihylea]

Nominator here, and the above is true, but also to expand:
The Queen's Riders are a formal group with a discrete and known membership in-universe, though only some of them are named in canon. I'm interested in this tag rather than just "Char: Buriram Tourakom" because I'm specifically interested in her work and role within the group (and interested in the group itself). "The Queen's Riders (Tortall)" is a canonical character tag and "Buriram Tourakom & The Queen's Riders" is a canonical relationship tag on AO3, so work checkers would not need canon knowledge to check for proper tagging, if that helps?

If it does not qualify, would either "Buriram Tourakom & Original Queen's Rider Member" or "Char: Original Queen's Rider Member" be acceptable?

[claire_cz]

Hi,
I've nominated Criminal Minds (US TV): Spencer Reid/Original Male Character(s) (Criminal Minds).

"We will approve this without the "(s)" - please clarify if this will cause problems." It's ok, it won't cause any problems.

Though then I should probably point out that I've also nominated under Miss Marple - Agatha Christie the following relationships: Jane Marple/Original Female Character(s) and Jane Marple & Original Female Character(s) and they have been already approved. Should I nom these also without the (s)?

re: diablo

[kirta_thalion]

Diablo (Video Games)
Eirena the Enchantress & The Prophet (Diablo)
Is "The Prophet" the same or a different character to the wiki character called Ezek The Prophet?

'The Prophet' is a different character from Ezek :)

[sarunohadaki]

Not the nominator, but I'm familiar with the canon.
For: Astral Express Members & Stelle (Honkai: Star Rail)
Astral Express Members include Pom-Pom, Welt, Himeko, March, Dan Heng, and the Player Character (who can be male or female but is Stelle in this case, based on this request). Sunday is also traveling with them, but I'm not sure he counts since he joined late.

[thecodexabides]

Also about warhammer (in my RP account no less)

It's like Star Wars--it's a HUGE canon, from over 400 books to a dozen or so video games which sometimes connect and sometimes don't and sometimes retcon each other. However you treat Star Wars should be your model for Warhammer.

Re: Call of duty nom, 6oC, original work + crossover DP JL

[modzilla]

Thanks for these clarifications!

Sorry, I'm not willing to accept groups where you had main members in mind but there are many potential other members - in that case I feel the label creates potential ambiguity between a creator and a requester.

I think we can squeeze in all the Crows by first name into a single nomination, but my understanding was that the Crows are Kaz' gang and that includes a lot more people than just those who go on the mission to the northern location (it's been a while, sorry, which is why I was asking /o\).

Given the breadth of membership of JLU, we won't accept that one, sorry, or 141.

Re: Debut or Die - TeSTAR, Original Character - Naruto

[modzilla]

Thank you!

Re: BTS

[modzilla]

Thanks! That's more easily googleable, but still, appreciated.

[modzilla]

Thanks!

Re: Warhammer 40000 and Rogue Trader

[modzilla]

Hello, thanks!

In this exchange, I'm not willing to approve both an umbrella fandom, and a fandom that falls within that umbrella, alongside each other. So I would like to either:

- split up Warhammer 40.000 into smaller properties, and approve Rogue Trader, or

- re-label Warhammer 40.000 in a way that coherently excludes Rogue Trader, and approve Rogue Trader, or

- fold Rogue Trader into the Warhammer 40.000 nomination.

Which do you think would work best?

Re: Warhammer 40000 and Rogue Trader

[topofthelighthouse]

I am okay with folding rogue trader nominations into the umbrella warhammer tag, thanks!

Re: Call of duty nom, 6oC, original work + crossover DP JL

[krzeslicko]

That's fair, I understand!
Thanks for your hard work!

Re: Warhammer 40000 and Rogue Trader

[firebatvillain]

Other 40k nommer here - I'm happy any of these solutions!

[(Anonymous)]

Not the nominator but for Captain America - Movies, the Howling Commandos other than Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes are:
Tim “Dum Dum” Dugan
Gabe Jones
Jim Morita
James Montgomery “Monty” Falsworth
Jacques Denier

[(Anonymous)]

I found out about this exchange today and would love to participate, but I missed nominations. Could I please nominate the following fandoms/pairings (I will be requesting all of them):

One Piece (Anime & Manga): Monkey D. Luffy/Roronoa Zoro (OP A&M)
One Piece (Live Action): Monkey D. Luffy & Roronoa Zoro (OPLA)
Baldur's Gate (Video Games): Karlach/Minthara (BG3)

When requesting, would the two different One Piece adaptations (A&M and live action) count as one fandom or two?
