Sign-up notes

[modzilla]

I was a little delayed in catching up to late nominations, but I think we're caught up now, except for:

Ciel Phantomhive & Phantomhive Servants (Kuroshitsuji)
What sort of group are the Servants please - who is included?

Cang Qiong Mountain Sect Qing Generation Peak Lords/Shen Jiu | Original Shen Qingqiu (SVSSS)
What sort of group are the Peak Lords please - who is included?

If these labels describe an amorphous set of unnamed characters, OR if they describe a specific, discrete group of characters of ten or fewer members, I'm happy to approve as nominated - otherwise these nominations may need to be adjusted.

Reminder: sign-ups are open until 11:59pm EDT, September 11. You have a bit over three days to either sign up, or edit your existing sign-up. See this countdown.

Reminder two: because I got things running a little late this year, there's a far smaller cushion between sign-ups closing and assignments going out. Please minimize the risk that I'll have to delete your sign-up (which I don't relish doing) by putting your DNWs in your sign-up, alongside something, anything I can plausibly interpret as a positive direction for your creator. Loose lips sink ships; lingering "WIP"s risk snips. Bad quips deserve ellipse.

There is still a swaps period, so you will get a second go at securing an assignment that's right for you if your initial match doesn't spark the kind of joy that will get you over the finish line.

Thanks everyone for your sign-ups and canon promos and for posting letters (especially already complete letters, talk about getting a Good Grade in Exchanges) that include status messages inside them!

Not the nominator, but the Cang Qiong Mountain Sect Peak Lords are a group of twelve characters, one for each peak—but only nine of the peaks are named within the novel and only seven have named Peak Lords. Original Shen Qingqiu|Shen Jiu is one of that number, so it's functionally a nomination for him + his six named peers.

For what it's worth, there is a canonical AO3 tag for this grouping: https://archiveofourown.org/tags/C%C4%81ng%20Qi%C3%B3ng%20Mountain%20Sect%20Peak%20Lords%20*a*%20Sh%C4%9Bn%20Ji%C7%94%20%7C%20Original%20Sh%C4%9Bn%20Q%C4%ABngqi%C5%AB/works

I am the nominator, thank you for adding this information.

I also specifically disambiguated the tag to only be the Qing Generation of the Peak Lords (i.e. the ones featured and named in the Scum Villain novel) because theoretically there are many different generations of Peak Lords.

But as the previous commenter has mentioned, the canonical tag is “ Cang Qiong Mountain Sect Peak Lords & Shen Jiu | Original Shen Qingqiu” without the inclusion of Qing Generation.

I hope this clarifies the nom.

Thanks! It sounds as though if the unnamed ones are included, that's too many, but there isn't a good way of saying "just the six named ones"? Or am I misunderstanding?

Ciel Phantomhive & Phantomhive Servants (Kuroshitsuji)

[krzeslicko]

Hi!
Not the nominator buuut from what I know of the fandom (and let me know if it's wrong, has been some time since I read the manga), the servants are:

* Sebastian Michaelis (the demon butler from the title)
* Tanaka (the older gentleman)
* Finnian (the gardener)
* Mey-Rin (the maid)
* Baldroy (the cook)
* and later on, Snake (the footman)
* in the anime, there's also Pluto, although his addition is rather brief

Re: Ciel Phantomhive & Phantomhive Servants (Kuroshitsuji)

[modzilla]

Thanks! That seems workable then - assuming the nominator is willing to accept Sebastian as one of the servants.

?! Darla & Angel Investigations

Just clarifying on this one so you don't have to ask: Angel Investigations refers to Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, Cordelia Chase, Charles Gunn, Lorne/Krevlornswath, and Winifred "Fred" Burkle. Edit: And I guess you would also include Angel himself. /o\

Yes there wasn’t an ideal way I could think of saying “just the six named ones”.

So in summary, the nom should only cover any Qing Generation Peak Lord named in the SVSSS series.

Hope that clarifies!

Could you also please tell me what their names are? Thanks.

(ETA: that is, I've approved the tag so you can use it in your sign-up, but I'd appreciate knowing which characters the tag refers to, for modding purposes further on in the exchange.)

[modzilla]

Very well.
