• Gorcrows (Adventures of Tom Bombadil)
  
• Mewlips (Adventures of Tom Bombadil)

Annabelle (Movies - Safran & Wan)

For the following, could someone please confirm that the intended tag is "Annabelle/Chucky (Annabelle (Movies - Safran & Wan))"? Else, I'll assume yes and accept after changing accordingly.


• Annabelle (Annabelle)/Chucky (Chucky)

Annihilation (2018 Garland)

• Lena (Annihilation)/The Biologist (Southern Reach Trilogy)

Dangan Ronpa - All Media Types

To streamline nominations, would it be possible to use only specific media installments of Dangan Ronpa?

If this would be alright, I'll leave alone the tags nominated under All Media Types for the nominators to change and add to a specific game or other installment, if they wish. Else, at the end of nominations, I will accept the following tags under "Dangan Ronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc".

Dragon Age - All Media Types

To streamline nominations, would it be possible to use only specific media versions of Dragon Age? For the moment, "Dragon Age (Comics)" and "Dragon Age (Video Games)" have been accepted. I'd be willing to accept other fandoms, as well.

If this would be alright, I'll leave alone the tags nominated under All Media Types for the nominators to change and add to a specific fandom, if they wish.

The Exorcist (TV)

For the following, could the nominator please confirm whether it is intended as a solo character nomination? Else, I'll assume yes and accept as "Solo: Kim Family (The Exorcist(TV))".

For the following, did the nominator have a particular gender preference in mind? I osmosed from other tags that Byleth doesn't have a fixed gender in canon, and just wanted to check if the nominator wished to specify. Else, I'll accept as is.

Kim Family nominator here - would it be considered a solo if it's a family unit? (five siblings).

[thenostalgicmod]

Oh, I see! That makes sense. Accepted as is, thank you for clarifying!

Solo: Byleth (FE3H) Nominator here and I am fine with/had intended having it open-ended, but I can also switch to the 3 options if you think other people would prefer to narrow it down!

[thenostalgicmod]

Accepted as is, thank you for clarifying!

[rubylily]

I'm not the nominator, but in Neon Genesis Evangelion, there are multiple clones of Ayanami Rei. If that's what the nominator meant, it might be clearer if the tag was "Ayanami Rei & Clone(s)" or something similar to that.

[thenostalgicmod]

Thank you for clarifying! Accepted as "Ayanami Rei & Ayanami Rei's Clone(s)".

[peachpai]

I think I was probably the one nominating Dragon Age - all media types, and absolutely, whatever makes it easier for you! I'll fix it now. The tagging for DA on AO3 really makes that fandom difficult to manage.

[thenostalgicmod]

Accepted under the new fandom, thank you very much for changing it!

[alchemise]

I'm not the nominator but I'm pretty sure "Annabelle (Annabelle)/Chucky (Chucky)" is meant to be a crossover between the Annabelle movies and the Child's Play movies.

[thenostalgicmod]

Thank you for clarifying! Accepted as "Annabelle (Annabelle (Movies))/Chucky (Child's Play | Chucky (Movies 1998-2017))" under Crossover Fandom.

Hi, sorry! AO3 instructions said "If crossover relationships are allowed, you can enter them under either fandom." which is what I did, I didn't realize I should nominate under an overall "crossover" fandom. Unfortunately I have maxed out my fandoms so I can't go back and move them all into "Crossover" otherwise I'd just do that for you. You're welcome to move or delete or request I edit to disambiguate as needed.

This applies to your notes for Silt Verses, House of Leaves, Firefall series, Annihilation and Annabelle.

[thenostalgicmod]

My apologies for the confusion, and thank you for clarifying! All accepted under Crossover Fandom (under the No Media section of the tagset).

Mewlips, Gorcrows and Huorns (Adventures of Tom Bombadil and LotR) are all groups of characters that don't get a lot of exploration in canon and don't, as far as I know, have any named individuals. Part of the scariness comes from their group identity - being surrounded by a forest of sentient trees, in the case of Huorns. Not sure "Solo" best describes this, but I don't think they work as a relationship tag because there aren't any individual characters...not sure how would be best to reflect this?

[thenostalgicmod]

That's a good point, and I see how the noms do make sense as they are. I'm just not sure if it would mess with AO3 to accept them under the Relationships field without any qualification (since that field is what is being used for noms in the tagset). E.g. for Avatar, The Gaang is a Character according to AO3 even though it's a group of people. I'd therefore err on the side of accepting it into the tagset as "Solo: The Gaang (ATLA)" or, barring this, as "The Gaang - Relationship (ATLA)"... Do you think it would be okay to nom these Tolkien groups as "Solo: Group of Huorns" or "Solo: Forest of Huorns" or something similar?

[narya_flame]

I think "Solo: Group of [Huorns/Mewlips/Gorcrows]" works well - thank you!

[thenostalgicmod]

All accepted as groups! Thank you very much for your patience and for clarifying.
